Granted: 1911-02-02
Abstract: 11,270. Aktiebolaget Wigelius Motorer. May 7, 1909, [Convention date]. Cylinders receiving liquid fuel.-A spindleshaped valve d controls the mixing and quantity of fuel and air admitted to the cylinder. The spindle, which may be actuated by a cam, forms with a movable sleeve b and a fixed sleeve c an air channel which has two narrow passages at f, h. Mixing takes place at the passage f to which fuel is fed by a pump through the passage k when the valve g at the lower end of the sleeve b is raised. When the valve g is closed, fuel is returned by the passage k<1>. The amount of mixture admitted to the cylinder is controlled by the valve h. To prevent the formation of drops the wall of the sleeve or the spindle should not have edges.
Patent GB-191017854-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Valves for Controlling the Pressure Water of Hydraulic Machines.
IPC: F16K17/00
Filed: 1910-07-27
Granted: 1911-07-13
Abstract: 17,854. Rice & Co., and Rice, G. R. July 27. Actuating; lift valves; check valves. - In means for controlling the pressure water of hydraulic machines, the ordinary working valve is provided with two check valves, one of which is adapted, on the pressure rising in the auxiliary cylinders, to admit automatically the highpressure supply to the cylinder of the main ram. When the working valve is put to the exhaust position, the main and auxiliary ram cylinders are thereby exhausted simultaneously. Fig. 1 is a side elevation of a valve device for a press provided with main and auxiliary rams, and Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the said valve. High-pressure supply is led to the auxiliary rams from the pipe 6<Î> through the valve 6 and pipes 5, the valve being operated through a hand - lever 7. The check valves, shown in Fig. 3, comprise a casing 8 having a pipe connexion, below the valve, leading to an overhead or other low-pressure tank and a connexion 10, above the valve, leading to the main ram cylinder. A pilot valve 12 operated by a wedge 14 from the shaft 7<Î> of the lever 7 is situated in the main valve 11. Attached to the main valve casing is an auxiliary valve casing 15 having a pipe 16 connected to the working valve 6 and a high-pressure pipe 17. As the pressure in the auxiliary rams increases through the resistance of the work, the pressure in the pipe 16 increases and raises the piston 20, which operates the valve 18 and allows high-pressure liquid to flow through the pipe 10 to the main ram. The return of the rams is effected by putting the working valve 6 to exhaust by means of the lever 7, which also, through the wedge 14, raises the rod 13, valve 12, and main valve 11, thus putting the main and auxiliary cylinders into communication with the overhead tank or other low-pressure supply.

Post files.-In a double-arch letter or like file in which the bows are adapted to be opened by lever mechanism, the bows a are made detachable, and the lever x and straight posts e are made foldable. The bows a are connected by an integral bar which forms bearings at c, and is cranked at d, the crank d being attached to the upper limb of a U-spring w. The journals for the bows a are formed by turning up and bending back parts c<2> of the base-plate v, and the under limb w<2> of the spring w engages a groove in the base-plate v so that both the bows a and the spring w can be slid away from the base-plate v together. The posts e are connected by a cranked bar e<3>, the crank e<3> being engaged by an extension f<3> on a pivoted bracket f on which the operating-lever x is mounted. The lever x carries a grooved stud which engages the crank d so as to open or close the bows a when the lever is rotated. The pressure of the spring w in either the open or closed position of the bows a maintains the bracket f and the posts e upright. When the bows a and the spring w are removed, the posts e and the bracket f with its lever x can be folded down. In a modification, the spring w may be permanently attached to the base-plate v and only the bows made removable.
