Title: Improvements in and relating to Pressure Regulating Valves.
Inventor: METZGER JULES PHILIPPE
Filed: 1900-03-05
Granted: 1900-04-21
Abstract: 4187. Metzger, J. P. March 5. Pressure - regulating, reducing, and check valves. - Pressure-regulating or reducing valves embodying improvements applicable for larger or small valves for vessels of war, for heating, and for other purposes are shown in the Figures. The regulating-valve 7, Fig. 1, has a piston 13 secured to it, and the supply passage 2 is connected by a port 40 to a chamber containing a controlling-valve 34. A diaphragm 26, exposed underneath to the pressure from the outlet side 3 of the valve, depresses the controlling-valve, which then opens and, exposing the upper side of the piston to the inlet pressure, opens the regulating-valve. Rigidity is given to the various parts of the valve by ribs such as 10<a>. The piston chamber may be made of brass and secured to the main casing. The pressure exerted by the diaphragm spring 29 may be regulated by an adjustable cap 32, which can be secured to a lock-nut 33, or an adjustable arm may be screwed on to the stem of the spring seat 30 and locked to the cap. In a modification, the controlling - valve is formed of a grooved cylinder so that it can be readily removed and replaced. To facilitate repairing, the ports 40, 43 may be fitted with check valves 47, Fig. 7, which close the ports when the cap 21 is removed. The ports may be closed by means of cylindrical plugs, which may be linked together so as to be operated simultaneously. The motion of the diaphragm may be transmitted to the controlling-valve in a magnified form by means of linkage 56, 57, Fig. 14. In the modification shown in Fig. 16, the double-beat valve 7, 7<a>, being balanced, can be operated by a small piston 13. The spindle of the valve may be flanged, so that the parts 7, 7<a> of the valve may slide on it and be secured by a nut.

Title: Improvements in Electric Incandescent Lamps.
Inventor: FESSENDEN REGINALD AUBREY
Filed: 1900-04-04
Granted: 1900-05-12
Abstract: 6308. Fessenden, R. A. April 4. Incandescent lamps.-A lamp having an incandescence rod of magnesia, kaolin, or the like, conducting only after preliminary heating, and having either a concave radiating - heater, or a means for applying to the rod a streak of graphite or other conducting-material when the lamp is about to be used, is provided with an automatic electromagnetic switch 41, 26, to connect at first wires carrying a pressure higher than normal to the heater or the incandescence rod, the pressure being lowered as the rod becomes conductive, until eventually it is connected directly to the normal supply wires 32, 36. The rod may otherwise be heated previously by a lamp. Fig. 2 is a diagram of connections for a lamp in which graphite is applied to the rod, the ends of which are connected to wires 24, 24<a>; the parts 26 of the switch, shown separately, are on the axle of a spring-controlled armature 41, movable by an electromagnet 29, the coils of which are included in the supply wire 36. The switch is shown in the starting position, alternating current being supplied from the wires 32,36 to the primary 33 of a transformer, and the secondary 37 of this connected through the switch and wires 24; 24<a> to the incandescence rod. As the current increases, the armature 41 turns into line with the magnet 29, increasing the inductance of this so as to limit the current, until the switch connects the wires 32, 24, 36, 24<a>, and cuts out the transformer. In a lamp with a heater, this is connected directly to the secondary of the transformer, and the switch is arranged to connect the primary directly between the supply wires, at starting, and afterwards disconnect it. The heater is backed with asbestos or other non-conducting material ; the incandescence rod may be supported between fixed and spring-actuated end pins, and is connected between the normal supply wires through the magnet coils.

Patent GB-190017953-A (GB)
Title: Improved Process for the Production of Solutions of Saccharate of Iron.
Inventor: STAHLSCHMIDT FERDINAND
Filed: 1900-10-09
Granted: 1901-08-24
Abstract: 17,953. Stahlschmidt, F. Oct. 9. Sucrates.-Saccharate of iron solution, which is of undiminished solubility in water in presence of any percentage of common salt up to saturation and capable of neutralization in the soluble state by means of mineral acids, and is therefore readily capable of absorption, is produced without evaporation by decomposing by hot soda lye a hot aqueous solution of iron chloride sweetened with cane sugar. The iron chloride solution employed contains water in the proportion of twenty times the weight of the iron, and sugar in the proportion of 12 to 1 of iron oxide. The soda lye contains soda in the proportion of twice the weight of the iron, and water in the proportion of 10 times the weight of the iron.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Delivering Coins
Inventor: JANIK EDUARD
Filed: 1901-02-23
Granted: 1902-02-20
Abstract: 3916. Janik, E. Feb. 23. Money delivering apparatus. - The coins are ejected one by one from the bottom of a tube a by projections d upon a disc c, which is rotated with a pinion g when a key lever l is pressed down against a toothed sector i in gear with the pinion. When the reverse rotation occurs under the free action of a spring k under the sector, the projections, being on springs, dip under the coins; but, to prevent a few coins from being tilted because not heavy enough, the disc may be mounted in arms having a little play. The number of coins ejected is determined by the position of the operator's finger upon the key lever, as this works through slots in steps n, against which the former strikes. In modifications, the key levers are replaced by rod keys, or the sector bears steps and the finger always reaches one level. The discs also need not reverse.

Title: Improvements in Damper Regulators for Furnaces
Inventor: COATS SAMUEL
Filed: 1902-09-02
Granted: 1902-11-20
Abstract: 19,252. Coats, S. Sept. 2. Dampers, operating. The damper G of a steamboiler furnace is operated by a hydraulic cylinder B, the supply and exhaust valves of which, K and L respectively, are operated by a rocking- beam P, which is connected by the link N and lever R to a diaphragm cylinder S exposed to the varying pressure of steam in the boiler. The spindles of the valves K, L pass through elongated holes in the beam P, to which they are jointed by adjustable clamp pieces M<2>, N<2>, one of which is shown in section to an enlarged scale in Fig. 3, the lever being held between two such clamps. Each clamp consists of four fingers embracing the rod and screwed outside to engage a screwed and slightly-coned cap, by which they are compressed to clip the rod. To close the damper permanently if the level of water in the boiler becomes dangerously low, a fusible plug Z is employed, which melts in steam. When the plug melts, owing to the fall of the water level in the boiler, steam is admitted through the pipe T to the cylinder B. An alarm whistle T' is also sounded. Instead of a fusible plug, a float Z', Fig. 6, may be employed to operate a valve Z<4>, which controls an independent supply of water to the cylinder B. The limit of pressure at which the diaphragm cylinder S acts may be regulated by the adjustable weight R<1> or the spring R<2>.

Abstract: 24,702. Stockall, J. J. Nov. 11. Time - checking apparatus for workmen, In workmen's time-recorders and similar machines, more especially of that class in which the time of day is printed on a card by type brought automatically into the printing-line by the mechanism of an ordinary clock-train, devices are introduced whereby an indication, as by a capital or small letter, of the day of the week, and whether morning or afternoon, is printed on the card at the same time as the time of day. The day-device consists of the pivoted sector or wheel b, the pivoted card support d with its serrated foot f, the cam h having fourteen steps or radii corresponding to the letters, signs, or spaces on the sector or wheel b, the arm o pivoted to the card support, and the means for communicating rotary motion from the clock-train to the cam h. The crown-wheel m is revolved once in seven days, and imparts rotation to the cam h through the cog-wheel l and the spindle i. At each lift of the card support d, the link g lifts the sector b through the desired arc. The printing-sector b may be pivoted directly upon the spindle q, or may enclose and rotate around the spindle, and may be operated by rack gearing, or by crown-wheel gearing.
