Inventor: AULD JOHN
IPC: G05D16/06
Filed: 1911-12-04
Granted: 1912-12-04
Abstract: 27,060. Auld, J. Dec. 4. Pressure-regulating valves. - The operating- diaphragms of pressure-controlling and like valves are supported at the back by a piston e secured to the valve spindle f in conjunction with a ring d, whereby such diaphragms assume a stepped formation under the action of fluid pressure when the valve is closed, as shown. The ring d is supported on radial levers g, the free ends of which rest on the flange i fixed on the valve spindle. In a second arrangement, the ring d is extended downwards terminating in a piston in a pressure-chamber communicating with the pressure space above the diaphragm. The terminating piston balances the area of the ring acted upon by the pressure above the diaphragm.

A non-magnetic rotor a, Fig. 1, divided at the edge to prevent the formation of eddy currents, is immersed in mercury and rotates in the restricted field of an electro-magnet e which is connected between the mains, the main current passing through the rotor between contacts d, d'. A separate brake disk k is secured to the spindle of the rotor and moves in the field of a permanent magnet i or of a saturated electromagnet. In a modification shown in Fig. 5, the rotor a itself is in the field of the brake magnet i, the effect of which is increased bv means of a copper segment m fixed in the periphery of the mercury chamber, and providing a path of low resistance for eddy currents. In this form, the driving magnet e is placed at one side, and the brake magnet i at the other, one current connexion being made at the spindle. The edge of the rotor may he slit or slotted, or the rotor may be in the shape of a star or a bell, the edge being amalgamated, and the centre plated and insulated. To compensate for friction, a few main current turns n may he wound on the driving magnet, or the brake magnet field may be shunted by a yoke with such turns.
