Title: Improvements in and relating to Water Meters.
Inventor: NASH LEWIS HALLOCK
IPC: G01F7/00
Filed: 1913-04-07
Granted: 1914-04-02
Abstract: 8104. Nash, L. H. April 7. Impulse and reaction meters; regulating meters.-Relates to water-meters of the type comprising separate measuring-mechanisms for high and low rates of flow, and a valve for controlling the flow to these mechanisms. When a low rate of flow is being measured, water passes from the inlet 2, Fig. 1, and space 17, through the meter 31, to the outlet 3, the flow being registered by a suitable device 33. At the same time, water fills the chamber 4 by passing through the screw 25 of the rotary meter, which measures large flows, but is unable to lift the differential valve V closing the exit to this chamber. The screw 25 of this meter is mounted on the shaft 24 and actuates the registering-mechanism 28 through the gearing 27. When the capacity of the smaller meter 31 is exceeded, the increase of pressure in the chamber 4 raises the valve V. This valve is adapted to move sharply, since the larger area of the plate 42 is acted upon when the valve commences to open, and once open, a slight variation in pressure does not cause the valve to close. Both the measuring-mechanisms are then in operation.

Abstract: 26,259. Ionides, A. C. Nov. 15. Internally-fired boilers. -Relates to apparatus of the kind in which a self-burning gaseous mixture at a pressure slightly above atmospheric is burnt in a closed chamber, as described in Specification 15,455/09, [Class 126, Stoves &c.], and consists in providing a combustion chamber of refractory material surrounded by a jacket through which the liquid to be heated is passed. The water-heater shown consists of two cylindrical chambers b, c connected by an external pipe e formed as a swivel joint, which allows the upper chamber to be swung aside to afford access to the combustion chamber in the lower chamber. The water space in the lower chamber is annular and is contracted at its upper part to accommodate the combustion chamber, which consists of a firebrick cylindrical sbell i containing a core j. The pipe k supplying the combustible mixture enters the combustion chamber tangentially. The products of combustion escape through a tubular coil m in the lower part of the chamber b. The water passes through the heater in an upward direction. The constituents of the combustible mixture are maintained at their correct proportion by apparatus such as is described in Specification 21,112/11, [Class 135, Valves &c.], and the mixture may be passed through a device such as is described in Specification 23,350/13, [Class 86, Mixing &c], to prevent flame from passing back into the supply pipe.

Abstract: 5877. Sziladi, V. Aug. 23, 1913, [Convention date]. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Act]. Wheel-guards and obstruction-removers.-A small truck 3 under the front platform of an electric tramcar is pushed out, as shown by dotted lines, when a rubber buffer 9 in front of the truck strikes an obstruction on the line. The buffer 9 is carried by hinged arms 15, and these first swing back slightly and liberate a pawl which holds a ratchet-wheel (not shown) on a spindle 22. The spindle is then turned by a spring and actuates toothed gearing which lifts the arms 15 and a net carried by them so as to raise the obstruction. The gearing also operates a valve which applies the pneumatic brakes and admits compressed air to the cylinder 12 to force out the truck so that the obstruction is deposited on the flexible covering 14 of the truck. The gearing then operates a pair of arms hinged on the body of the car, which turn down horizontally to prevent the obstruction from falling off the truck. The fluid pressure may be admitted to the cylinder by the driver when he applies the brakes. The truck is mounted to swivel on a bogie sub-truck to facilitate its travelling on curves.

Bore-hole apparatus.- In a well-boring machine comprising a rotary table carrying gripping-rings mounted on mandrels which are adjusted to or from each other by right and left handed screws to cause the rings to grip the drill stem, the screws pass through the mandrels transverse to their length. The screws 12 are held by tongued caps 24 in posts 20 which fit loosely in sockets 21 in the table 2. The mandrels 9 carrying the gripping-rollers 8 have flattened ends and are carried by blocks 10 resting freely on the table 2. The screws 12 pass loosely through the mandrels, and the mandrels pass loosely through nuts 14 which engage the screws and fit loosely in the blocks 10 ; the gripping - mechanism can therefore yield to any irregularity in the drill stem. The screws 12 may be locked against rotation by a bar 29. The table 2 is held to the bed 1 by bolts 34 and moves on cones 30 to which lubricant passes from a reservoir 37 through ducts 39. The table 2 is rotated by a pinion 5 on a shaft 3 carried in bearing-blocks 40, which contain lubricant chambers and may be adjusted and held by screws 41 passing through lugs on the bed 1. The shaft 3 may be freed from its driving-sprocket 4 by moving a clutch 51, and may then be locked against rotation by pivoted dogs 50 adapted to engage a recessed collar 48 on the shaft.
