Inventor: MILNE JAMES
Filed: 1905-04-15
Granted: 1906-02-08
Abstract: 8077. Milne, J., and O'Connor, H April 15. Gas-meters.-To enable the meter to be set so as to give small predetermined quantities of gas and to close the valve G with greater rapidity, the latter is operated through a rod and a crank H, which is carried by the crown-wheel M, when this wheel is engaged by pins, or pawls, or a second crown-wheel N fixed to the hollow worm C. This worm is caused to travel a predetermined distance along the shaft B, after prepayment, by the worm F and gearing F<1>, E, and is gradually brought back by the rotation of the shaft B by the registering - mechanism of the meter, the wheel E being locked. The number of teeth on the wheels M, N should preferably be equal to the number of turns or half-turns which must be imparted to the locking-mechanism to advance the worm a distance equal to its own pitch.

Filed: 1905-04-29
Granted: 1906-04-28
Abstract: 9077. Mazellier, L. A. April 29. Check valves; cooling valves.-A valve consisting of a thin self-guided metal disk c<3>, placed in a casing between two flat seats, is mounted between an explosion engine and a manometer to measure the pressure developed. A cap n screws on to the valve body a<3>, and, by the aid of copper or asbestos washers o, secures a tight fit between the body and the cap and between the cap and the cover m. The disk c<3> is of platinum, silver, or other metal which will resist the action of heat, and is sufficiently thin to be somewhat flexible. It has a series of holes q round its circumference and is placed in a guiding- chamberp of slightly larger diameter and between flat seats on the body a<3> and cover m. Gas from the engine arrives through the passage r, and passes under the disk and through the holes q and channels s into the passage t, connected to the manometer. When the engine pressure is lower than the manometer pressure, the disk c<3> is pressed against the body a<3>. The lightness of the disk obviates errors caused by the inertia of the usual valves. Ribs u formed on the body and cap keep down the temperature. The Provisional Specification states that the invention is applicable to pumps or any apparatus in which the pressure periodically varies.

Patent GB-190522959-A (GB)
Title: A New or Improved Pressure Regulating Device for Compressed Gas Plants.
Filed: 1905-11-09
Granted: 1906-01-04
Abstract: 22,959. Akt.-Ges. f³r Gas und Elektricitõt, and Karger, L. Nov. 9. Pressure - regulating valves piston valves; shocks, preventing; casings.- A gas-compressing plant for supplying gas to a lighting- system at an increased pressure is arranged so that, when the gas in the high-pressure reservoir exceeds a predetermined pressure, it actuates a regulating- valve of special construction in such a manner that some of the compressed gas is returned to the compressing-engine in lieu of the normal supply. An horizontal section of the general arrangement is shown in Fig. 4, and an elevation of the regulating-valve in Fig. 1. The latter consists of a piston k, provided with a passage o, preferably of triangular cross-section. The space p below the piston is subjected to the same pressure as the branch m, as both are in free communication with the chamber A, Fig. 4 ; the space v above the piston is connected to the branch n by a passage i, which is restricted so as to prevent undue oscillation of the piston. Normally, the valve is in the position shown, but if the pressure in the spaces p, m becomes abnormal the piston is raised and a through way is established. A rubber buffer z serves to prevent excessive concussion. The valve is prevented from rotating by a screw in the casing which engages a vertical slot in the piston. The manner in which the. complete plant works is as follows :-Gas enters a suction chamber B, Fig. 4, from the supply pipe h. Normally, the gas passes by way of a pipe f, check valve l, and delivery pipe f<1> to the pilot lights of the lamps. When it is desired to feed the lamps with compressed gas, a compressing-engine of any suitable design, situated above the high-pressure reservoir A, is fed by way of the chamber B, check valve q, and pipes e, e<1>. After compression, the gas is discharged into the reservoir A and thence passes to the pipe f<1>, the check valve l preventing any back flow to the lowpressure pipes &c. E is the valve shown in Fig. 1. The space below the piston communicates with the reservoir A. When, therefore, the pressure in the reservoir A exceeds the allowable maximum, the valve is actuated and gas flows out of the reservoir through the pipe r, the valve E, and the pipe e', and so back to the engine. The check valve q is closed by the increased pressure, and so no more gas is drawn from the reservoir B until the pressure falls. If the consumption of gas is small, a part of the compressed gas may repeatedly pass through the compressor, while the latter will suck only a reduced quantity of gas under ordinary pressure from the suction reservoir B.
