Title: Improvements relating to fluid pressure braking apparatus
IPC: B60T15/56
Filed: 1924-06-23
Abstract: 224,858. Westinghouse Brake & Saxby Signal Co., Ltd., (Assignees of Martin, G. H.). Nov. 17, 1923, [Convention date]. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Act]. Fluid-pressure. - In fluid-pressure brakes, the main reservoir or other source of pressure supplying fluid when the brakes are applied is connected to an additional reservoir through a non- return valve, the arrangement being such that in the event of the failure of the main pressure supply, the pressure fluid retained in the additional reservoir may be utilized to apply the brakes. The invention is shown applied to a double-end brake equipment of the straight air type comprising a driver's valve 4 at each end of the car, a brake cylinder 2, main reservoir 3, straight air pipe 17, and an emergency valve 1 controlled by a valve 5, the additional reservoir 25 being connected to the main reservoir through a non-return valve 27. Normally the pressure on each side of the piston 8 of the valve 1 corresponds to main reservoir pressure, so that the spring 34 holds it in the position shown and a cavity 33 in the slide valve 12 connects the pipe 17 to a passage 35 leading to the brake cylinder. Accordingly the driver can apply and release the brakes in the usual manner, whilst an emergency application can be effected by the conductor or a passenger operating the handle 24 to open the valve 19 of the valve 5 and close the valve 21. The right-hand side of the piston 8 is thus exhausted to atmosphere through the pipe 7 and port 20 and communication between the pipes 10, 7 is cut off, so that the piston moves to the right to open the passage 35 to main reservoir pressure. In prior constructions, should the pipe 11 break or the main reservoir pressure fail, the brakes cannot be applied, but in the present case, if the driver turns the cock 29 which normally connects the pipes 10, 11 so as to isolate the main reservoir and connect the pipes 10, 30, the pressure retained in the reservoir 25 will move the valve 1 to emergency position and give a brake application.

A thread-feeler for a stop-motion is in the form of a leaf-spring having a part adapted to be maintained by a running thread and of the position to which it is biased by its own resilience, the width of the feeler being at least thirty-two times its thickness. To adapt the feeler to different yarntensions, it is mounted adjustably in a clamp 12, or a bar 15 is moved to bear against it at an appropriate point. To actuate the stop motion when the thread fails, (a) the feeler may move into or out of contact with a bar 14 to establish or interrupt a control circuit; (b) the feeler may actuate a micro-switch; or (c) the movement of the feeler may affect a photo-electric circuit. The clamp 12 may be rotatable.

Title: Improvements relating to cooking stoves fitted with boilers
IPC: F24C13/00
Filed: 1946-05-20
Abstract: 623,019. Cooking stoves with fitted boilers. MARICHAL, A., GLORIEUX, J., VERMEULIN, E., MARECHAL, J., and MAQUEST, G. May 20, 1946, No. 15253. Convention date, July 27, 1939. [Class 126] [Also in Group XIII] A cooking stove with a fitted boiler 18 comprises a horse-shoe shaped firebox 4 accommodating a feedhopper 2 and extending down to the vicinity of a circular grate 10 which is adjoined by an inclined tilting grate 14 in connection with a heating conduit for the boiler 18, a displaceable damper plate 16 supporting the fuel on the tilting grate 14 and regulating the firing or heating of the boiler 18. The damper plate 16 being in a lowered position, fuel from the feedhopper 2 is distributed over the circular grate 10 and the tilting grate 14. Combustion gases from the circular grate 10 and the tilting grate 14 may pass to the collecting chamber 23 by passing through an opening 25<SP>1</SP> controlled by a flap valve 25, conduits 22 through the boiler 18 controlled by other flap valves 24 and a lateral conduit which leads directly to the collecting chamber 23 from beneath the hot-plate 8 and is controlled by flap valves 26. All the heating gases may be utilised for heating the hot-plate 8 when flap valves 24 controlling conduits 22 are closed and the other flap valves 25, 26 are opened. The boiler 18 alone will be heated if these flap valves 25 and 26 are closed and the flap valves 24 controlling the conduits 22 remain open. The hot-plate 8 alone will be heated when all the combustion gases produced escape to the chimney through the lateral conduit controlled by the flap valve 26, the other flap valves 24, 25 being closed and the damper plate 16 being raised by a lever 27 thus removing fuel from the tilting grate 14 to the circular grate 10. Compressed air may be supplied to either combustion zone as required by pipes 29, 30, 31 beneath the grates 10, 14. The boiler 18 at the back of the stove comprises several overhanging hollow pockets 21 between and around which heating gases may pass before reaching the chimney.
