Patent GB-190502769-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Steam-and-water Injectors.
Inventor: BROOKE ROBERT GRUNDY
Filed: 1905-02-10
Granted: 1906-02-08
Abstract: 2769. Brooke, R. G. Feb. 10. Injectors.-In injectors in which the steam and water valves are opened and closed together, for starting and stopping, by a single handle, means are provided whereby the steam valve can be opened to a greater extent to supply a larger quantity of steam at a lower pressure and the water valve automatically closed to a greater or less extent to reduce the supply of water, or vice versa when steam at a higher pressure is to be used. According to the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the starting-handle 16, fixed to the spindle 2 of the steam valve 1, is formed in one with a cam 15 engaging the end of a lever 13, which opens the Water valve 8 against the action of a spring 17. When the handle 16 is operated to increase the supply of steam, the cam 15 allows the spring 17 to close the valve 8 to a greater or less extent. A movement of the handle in the opposite direction opens the valve 8 to a greater extent. The spring 17 may operate directly on the lever 13, as shown in dotted lines at 17<a>. The cam 15, in lieu of being formed in one with the lever or handle 16, may be keyed to the spindle and prevented from moving endways by fixed abutments. In some cases, the lever 13 is omitted, the cam then acting directly on the head of the spindle 9. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the water supply is controlled by a compound valve consisting of two valves 8<a>, 8<b> rigidly connected together and arranged on opposite sides of the valve seat 11. A yoke 25 connects the spindles 2, 9 together. In this case, the valve spindles move in the same direction when the handle 16 is operated. A closer regulation of the steam can be obtained by providing the steam valve 1 with a regulator of known form consisting of a cylindrical extension 42 with a coned end 43. Fig. 6 shows the position of the steam and water valves when using steam at a low pressure. H desired, the handle 16 may be fitted to the spindle 9 and the spring 17 to the spindle 2. Fig. 9 shows means for operating the valves in a combination injector. The spindles 2, 9 are connected to a yoke or cross-head 25<a>, to which is attached a screwed spindle 33 engaging a threaded hole in the casing 4. The handle 16 is attached to the spindle. Both valves may be opened against the action of springs. Fig. 11 shows another arrangement in which the valve spindles are opened in either direction by a lever 16<a> common to both. The coned projection 46 of the valve 1 practrically fits the end of the nozzle 5.

Abstract: 4591. Skipper, T. S. Feb. 24. Sliding valves; venting. -Two forms of slide valves are employed in apparatus for measuring and delivering aerated liquid with syrup. Fig. 5 shows the syrup valve D<3> with its'single port D' in position for charging the valve-box B' from the supply pipe while air passes up a vent-pipe C. When the valve, which is pressed' upon its seat by' a spring, moves upwards, discharge takes place through a pipe. Figs. 6 and 7 show the arrangement of ports in the aerated - liquid valve, whereby the measuring-vessel I is charged from a supply vessel in communication with the valve casing whenever the ports H<4> register and the descending valve then snifts the vessel I through the pipes L, L<1> and ports H<5> and finally allows it to discharge into a mixing-vessel through the ports H<4>, H<6>. A spring assists the pressure in the aerated supply vessel to keep the valve upon its seat.

Abstract: 9203. Gianoli, L. A. April 20, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Switches.-An ignition switch for internal-combustion engines, applicable for use either with an induction coil or magneto-electric machine, consists of a low-tension, interrupter and a hightension distributor in the same fluid-tight casing. A casing a, mounted on the engine or on the magneto-electric machine, has an insulating-bushing g, which carries one of the primary or low-tension. terminals f having a platinum tip e'. A spring- pulled lever b, pivoted on a spindle a' and having a roller c in contact with a cam c<1>, Fig. 2, on the revolving shaft p, carries the opposite platinum contact e of the interrupter. Space is left between the roller c and the shallow parts of the cam c<1>, in order to allow the contacts to take up wear. The shaft p also carries an insulating disk n, perforated to show the contact-breaker, and capable of ready removal by means of a nut n<1>. A conducting rim q collects high-tension current from a carbon brush j<1>, Fig. 2, and a projection n<2> passing close to a series of points on the ends of the high-tension terminals i, Fig. 1, transmits the discharges to the cylinders. The casing and terminals can be turned by a handle o, to alter the time of ignition. When in use with a high or low tension magneto-electric machine, the apparatus replaces the internal distributing parts of the magneto-electric machine. The pointed screw l limits the potential difference between the parts.

Abstract: 1 9 , 8 0 5. Wackermann, K. Sept. 4. Drawings to Specification. Telegraphs.-In an autographic telegraph, the lines of the drawing, manuscript, or the like are cut out in thin non-conducting paper, which is then wrapped round a revolving conducting cylinder. A conducting needle, in communication with one of the poles of a battery and in slow motion in a direction parallel to the axis of the cylinder, presses against the cylinder. When the needle comes into contact with the cylinder through one of the cut-out lines of the original, the circuit through the receiving-instrument is completed. At the receiving-station, an electromagnet, the armature of which actuates the recording-pencil, moves slowly in a direction parallel to tLe axis of a cylinder rotating synchronously with the cylinder at the transmitting-station. The line currents flowing in the magnet coils of the receiver actuate the armature and recording - pencil, and cause the latter to make impressions, corresponding to the cut-out lines of the original, on the paper surrounding the drum of the receiver. The needle of the transmitter and the pencil apparatus of the receiver may be given their slow rectilinear motion by means of threads which are wrapped round slowly rotating drums in geared connexion with the driving-motors of the instruments.
