Abstract: 274,232. Wingfield, B. R. April 30, 1926. Fluid - actuated valves. - Means for controlling a steaming, cooling, heating or other medium so as to start a process at a predetermined pressure, temperature or other condition and to stop the process at another predetermined condition comprises two main valves 1, 2, operated by fluid pressure, and arranged in series in the steaming or other system. The pressure chambers 3, 5 of the valves 1, 2 are controlled by a single device, such as a thermostat, pressure chamber, or the like. The pressure fluid is led to the chambers 3, 5 through strainers 9, 10 and needle valves 11, 12, and leaks away through the valves 4, 6. The main valves 1, 2 act in opposite directions so that initially the valve 1 is open and the valve 2 closed. When the steaming or other medium reaches the condition for starting the process, the thermostat or other control moves the lever connecting the valves 4, 6 in the direction of the arrow thus closing the valve 6 and allowing pressure to accumulate in the chamber 5 and open the main valve 2. When the medium reaches the condi. tion for finishing the process the lever lifts still further to close the valve 4 and thus shut the main valve 1. The valves 4, 6 may have independent adjusting means 7, 6, as shown and an additional adjustment may be provided when it is desired to vary the starting point of the process without varying the interval between which the two valves are actuated.

Abstract: 332,535. Watson, G. W., and Bremner, D. O. April 16, 1929. Counters actuated by independent agency; zeroizing- mechanism.-In apparatus for delivering liquids in measured quantities as described for example in Specification 302,826, means for interlocking the pump with the counter and its zeroizing - mechanism are described. The wheels of the counter are mounted on a shaft carrying fast a pinion 3 gearing with a spring-controlled rack 2 normally held to the right by a boss 10 on a plate 11 fixed to the control shaft 13 when the handle 12 of this shaft is in the off position, that is the upper position shown in the figure. When the handle is moved to the right it frees the rack and the counter and at the same time through an arm 27 and link removes a pivoted lipped sector 29 from above a lip 31 on the cross-bar 32 of the pump. The latter may now be actuated by rotation of the handle, and while the cross-bar is out of home position an arm 35 extending from the sector is blocked by the rack 34 so as to prevent movement of the control handle 12. The stepping of the counter is controlled by an escapement 14 oscillated by a lever 19 bearing on a pair of nested cylindrical cams 22, 23 one of which is fixed to the operating-shaft 24 and the other is pin-and-slot connected to the first. When the drive is forward the undulations of the two cams coincide and oscillate the escapement but when the shaft 24 is reversed the cams become relatively displaced to mask their recesses and so prevent operation of the counter. According to the Provisional Specification the sector 29 may be latched in position when it is moved to free the pump, the latch being removed again when the pump returns to home position.
