Title: Improvements in Pressure-regulating or Reducing Valves for Compressed Fluid Motors.
Filed: 1907-12-30
Granted: 1908-07-09
Abstract: 28,633. Soc. Schmeider et Cie. Feb. 5, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Reducing - valves. -A reducing-yalve for compressedfluid motors, for reducing the pressure of a motive fluid stored at a high pressure in a reservoir, comprises a piston valve d, e, in the interior of which is fitted a control piston h, i, j. If the pressure in the outlet c decreases unduly, a spring r or fluid under pressure contained in a chamber g, forces down the control piston, thus putting the top of the piston e into communication with the supply through ports l, k and a cavity at i. The valve d is thereby opened. The pressure which subsequently obtains in the outlet c, acting on the piston j, first closes the port k and then opens it to the:discharge c, whereby the valve d tends to be closed by the pressure in the outlet. By these means a reduced and substantially constant mean pressure is obtained at the outlet c.

Title: Manufacture of Objects of Tungsten or of Tungsten and Nickel.
Filed: 1908-08-19
Granted: 1909-04-01
Abstract: 17,438. Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges. Sept. 26, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Mainsprings.-Watch springs and other objects of tungsten or of tungsten and nickel are made by intimately mixing the finely-divided tungsten with nickel and sintering the metals together by heating below the melting point of tungsten. The proportions are such that the sintered product contains not less than 1 per cent nickel and not less than 60 per cent tungsten, the product then being nearly insensitive towards chemical reagents, and capable of being easily worked. After fashioning the objects, the nickel may be wholly or partly expelled by heating electrically or otherwise in a vacuum. An intimate combination of the nickel with the tungsten is obtained by using one cr both of the metals in the form of an easily reducible chemical compound. The plastic masses of tungsten compounds described in Specifications Nos. 11,716 and 16,489, A.D. 1907, and No. 11,710, A.D. 1908, [Abridgment Class Acids, alkalies, &c.], are particularly suitable as binding-agents for the metals or compounds. The ductility of the sintered mass may be increased by reheating. The Specification in its original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also the statement that silver, copper, iron or other metal of low melting point may be used instead of nickel. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.
