Title: Improvements in Valve Mechanism for Fluid Operated Machines, such as Channelling Machines and the like.
Inventor: HAIGHT HARRY VERCOE
Filed: 1907-01-03
Granted: 1908-01-02
Abstract: 226. Haight, H. V. Jan. 3. Rock drills.-A channelling-machine of the type which has a main valve and an auxiliary fluidcontrolling valve in order to give a long stroke has the auxiliary valve operated directly by the piston, or means engaged by the piston, which presses it against a returning fluid pressure or metal spring. The main valve has a reduced front end 14 which is constantly open to pressure through a passage 34 connected to the fluid supply port 24 which communicates by passages 22, 23 at either side with an inlet 21. The piston actuates a tappet 35 which rocks on a centre 36 and drives up the auxiliary valve, which is pressed down by a spring 42. Fluid passes from the port 46, Fig. 4, into the space 45, and thence through a port 44, Fig. 1, in the cap 20 to move forward the valve. The piston is moved past the port 29 by cushioning fluid compressed on the back stroke, and fluid then passes down the port 29 to complete the stroke, exhaust passing through ports 28, 27, 25 to the atmosphere. When the piston in its forward motion releases the tappet, the auxiliary valve is pressed down by the spring. The rear of the main valve exhausts then through ports 44, 47, 48, 25, and the valve is returned. The cap 20 has a recess 52 for starting purposes, the end 53 of the valve being enlarged to prevent it from entering the recess. The fluid pressure on both ends of the auxiliary valve, which are of equal area, is equalized by a port 51. When no metal spring is used, the valve is made differential, the upper surface having the larger area.

Granted: 1909-09-23
Abstract: 5471. Munz, E., Hiersche, H. O., and Krebs, A., [trading as Krebs & Hiersche]. March 6. Bottles, washing and cleaning. - Bottles, placed radially on a vertical drum B which rotates in a tank A, are cleansed internally by shot and by water jets and externally by brushes. The bottles are rotated on their axes, and the drum is given both a rocking and a rotary movement. The bottles are held between cups 9 and bottom-cleaning brushes 15 which are adjustably mounted in spring-controlled brackets 14, radially slidable on the gear-wheel 11 of the drum. Beneath each bracket is a lever g, which, by engagement with a fixed cam 19, raises the bracket and so releases the bottle at the loading point. The rubber-lined cups 9 are mounted on ball bearings and carry bevelpinions 10 in mesh with a stationary bevelwheel 2. The shot is contained in compartments in the drum hub, and water is supplied to the bottles through nozzles which protrude through the cups 9. The water passes successively to the bottles at two points, namely, at X before the shot enters, and at Y when the shot has returned to its compartment. This is effected by means of two radial apertures in the chambered hub of the wheel 2, which supply the water to the nozzles as they come into alinement. The drum shaft 1 is supported by pivoted arms 21 and is rocked by rods 22 connected to eccentrics on the driving-shaft 23. The drum is rotated by means of a pinion 27 on the countershaft k, which is driven from the shaft 23 by belt gearing.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Constant-tension Winding and Paying Out Apparatus especially adapted for Marine Cableways for Life-saving and other purposes.
Inventor: MILLER THOMAS SPENCER
IPC: B63C9/00
Filed: 1909-03-11
Granted: 1909-11-04
Abstract: 5903. Miller, T. S. March 11. Automatic gear; reversing-valves.-In marine and other cable ways of the kind described in Specifications 16,832/98, 24,399/98, and 18,213/99, [all in Class 78, Lifting &c.], adapted for life-saving at sea or for conveying generally between movable supports, the load-supporting cable is automatically kept at constant tension by winding it on a drum, which, in addition to its rotation, has an independent movement depending on the cable tension, and utilized to control the winding-engine. The winding- drum 1, in which the stretched rope is coiled, is connected to its shaft by coiled springs and engages with a threaded portion of the shaft. The drum is driven by a steam-engine a supplied with steam through an automatic throttle valve 6, controlled by the axial movement of the drum on its shaft. The valve mechanism, Fig. 6, comprises a slide-valve 21, normally admitting steam from the steam-chest 20 into the space 22, and thence through the throttle valve 24 to the cylinders a. The exhaust from the cylinders a passes into the chamber 31, and through the slide valve to the atmosphere. If the valve 21 is moved to its left-hand position by the hand-lever 50, the steam and exhaust pipes are reversed and the engine is driven in the opposite direction. The throttle valve 24 is under the control of strong springs 36, 37 bearing against a plunger 39, which is adjustable by means of a rod 17 connected by a bellcrank to a bar 13, which is operated by the drum 1 when the tension of the stretched cable varies. If the cable becomes slack, the plunger 39 is moved to the left by the relative motion of the drum on its shaft so as to increase the compression of the springs 36, 37 and to tend to open the valve 24 and increase the pressure in the chamber 23. When this pressure rises to an amount determined by the compression of the spring, the valve closes automatically. If the cable becomes too tight, the engine acts as a pump and the pressure in the chamber 23 rises until the relief valve 40 is lifted against the spring 37, and the steam escapes to exhaust through the radial openings 41. The normal working pressure of the steam is determined by a hand-lever connected to a link 45, which operates a bell-crank lever 43. This lever is pivoted on the rod 17 and is coupled to a forked bar 44 engaging notches in the plunger 39.
