Title: Improvements in or relating to the Regulating or Controlling of Valves or the like by Electro-magnetic Means.
Inventor: RORKE THOMAS JOSEPH
IPC: F16K31/10
Filed: 1910-09-27
Granted: 1911-09-27
Abstract: 22,397. Rorke, T. J., and Rorke, E. Sept. 27. Actuating. - A valve for regulating the flow of gases or liquids for heating purposes is operated by thermally controlled electro-magnets a, a<1>, Fig. 2, with cores a<2>, a<3>, which are connected with the valve spindle c<3> by means of an adjustable flexible member such as a chain a<4>. A pulley b on the valve spindle carries the chain and is provided with a lost-motion device consisting of two pins d', d<2>, which are fitted in holes on the pulley and are engaged by a projection d on the chain. The cores carry contact-members consisting of nickel pins b<5>, b<6> dipping into mercury cups b<3>, b<4>, and carrying hollow perforated vessels b<8> of nickel or steel from which mercury escapes slowly so as to ensure that the circuit is broken after the valve has been operated. The movement of the core is limited by nuts b<7>. In the position shown in Fig. 2, the circuit through the electro-magnet a<1> is opened by the contact b<5>, and the circuit through the electro-magnet a closed by the contact b<6>. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 5 a relay is connected between the contact thermometer and the electro-magnets, and is arranged to open the circuit of the thermometer. The relay consists of electro-magnets f<1>, f<2>, with a rocking armature carrying a tube f<3>, which has contacts at the centre and ends and contains mercury to control the circuit through the relay magnets and thermometer. The armature also carries contacts g<2> dipping into the mercury pots g<3> to control the circuits of the electro-magnets operating the valve. The valve is of the ordinary sluice type and may have parallel faces or be wedge-shaped. An indicator may show the setting of the valve. Specifications 9481/08 [Class 64, Heating] and 12,175/08 [Class 38, Electricity, Regulating &c.], are referred to.

Abstract: 27,633. Pousset, J. J. Nov. 28. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Models.-The different sections of a sectional building model, adapted to stand on a table a in front of a casing b, are lifted off to display the sections beneath, by arms S, S<1>, carried by shafts 15, 16 mounted in carriers A, B. The carriers A, B are counterbalanced by weights 5, 4 and slide up and down in the case b on rails b<l>. The movement of the carriers is controlled by operating-members X, X<1> connected to the carriers by pins e, e<1> and slots f, f<1>, and provided with cam - surfaces adapted to engage arms g, g<1> on the shafts 15, 16, so that these shafts are rotated to move the arms S, S<1 >outwards when the carriers are moved downwards, and to move them inwards, to engage beneath pins projecting from the different sections, when the carriers are moved upwards. Additional lifting - arms S<2> may be pivoted to the arms S. The members. X, X' a r e counterbalanced, and are respectively operated by cords 11, 12 which pass round reels 7, 8 rotated by handles 9, 10. A shaft 3, provided with reels h, h<1>, winds up the cords 1, 2 attached to the carriers A, B, so that, if desired, the carriers may be raised simultaneously without operating the arms S, S<1>. The table a is preferably mounted on a carriage t so that the lowest section may be moved laterally, and, to permit vertical sections of the model to be displayed, part of the table, after having been moved laterally, may be rotated through ninety degrees by means of a quadrant-shaped rack a<2>.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Boiler Furnaces.
Inventor: HOLEHOUSE WILLIAM HENRY
IPC: F23H3/02
Filed: 1910-12-09
Granted: 1911-12-07
Abstract: 28,643. Holehouse, W. H. Dec. 9. Fire-bars and grates.-Comprises detail improvements relating to the air and steam supply, and the removal of ashes and grit in connexion with hollow boiler-furnace fire-bars. In the grate shown in Fig. 1, built up of troughs A carrying transverse fire-bars B, steam, inducing air, is supplied at the rear of each trough and a grit-collecting and discharge box C is provided at the front end. The steampipes may be led some way into the flue beyond the bridge before reaching the fire-bar inlets. In the grate shown in Fig. 4, the steam-jets are at the front of the grate, but the air induced is led to the rear before being admitted to the air passages in the bar proper. Figs. 6 and 7 show similar modifications, in which not only the upper air passages, but also the lower ones, are built up by abutting apertures in the transverse fire-bars. In these forms also the grate is divided by partitions G into front and rear portions separately supplied with air, so that, in order to ensure smoke consumption, the brightest part of the fire may be near the front; further, the grit boxes are at the rear. In other modifications, such as those shown in Figs. 9 and 11, in which the lower passages are not employed, the grit-boxes are on either side of and adjacent to the partitions G. The bars shown in Fig. 9 are adapted to reciprocate. In a further modification similar to that shown in Fig. 11 the part of the grate between the rear air-inlet nozzles and the bridge is composed of hollow longitudinal bars. In most cases, in addition to the special grit-boxes, openings O are provided at intervals controlled by hit-andmiss plates, and in one form, somewhat similar to that shown in Fig. 11, this is the only ashdischarge means employed.

Abstract: 6255. Davies, J. Hudson-. March 13. Plates, securing pipes to; joints with valves. -In a screw joint for attaching a pipe to the plates of submarine vessels, caissons, tanks, barrels, boilers, &c., the end of the pipe has one or more steps a to rotate a cap or valve C by engaging with a corresponding step b, or steps, so that, as the pipe is screwed home, it screws out the cap or valve. In a modification, the cap is only partly removed, and is provided with passages which become uncovered, to 'give communication between the pipe and vessel. The cap may be returned to its seat by a screwdriver or key engaging a recess in the cap, or by a tongue carried by the pipe. In the latter case, the step secures ready alinement of the screw-threads, and to facilitateentry of the pipe, the first female thread may have a corresponding step. Specification 4122/07 is referred to.

Abstract: 9241. Hammer, A. April 13. Ironing-machines with reciprocating iron and stationary table. - In machines comprising an iron mechanically reciprocated over a table, the table is raised and lowered in synchronism with the reciprocations of the iron, by means of toggle mechanism operated by the attendant's feet. Clamping and stretching devices for the garments are provided. The iron b, reciprocated by crank mechanism actuated from a pulley h through a clutch, works over a table e slidable on a column and raised and lowered by a toggle k. One foot is placed on the treadle m and the other on a roughened bar l, and pressure is exerted alternately to produce the vertical movements of the table. The table is also slidable horizontally at rightangles to the plane of movement of the iron, and is shifted by means of a hand-lever n<1> and an arm o which works in a slot-guide on the table. A counterweight tends to keep the table in its inner position. The iron has a semicircular recess to receive the neck-band clamp, which consists of two members v, v<1>, Fig. 5, slidably connected by pins w and adapted to be separated by a cam 3. The member v is provided with a strap 2, which, when tightened by rotating a shaft x, secures the neck-band against the periphery of member v. The skirt of the shirt is secured by a roller mounted at the end of the table and held by a pawl. The shoulder clamps consist of a pair of plates, one fixed and the other mounted loosely on a bolt which has an arm working over a curved inclined surface.
