ALFRED COATES Engine Tenter 20 Yardley Street Sheffield late of 2 Court
1 House Robertshaw Street Sheffield do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of our apparatus for the immediate stoppage of gas or steam engines
from any room of the works or factory is to place any or every workman in such a
position that in case of danger he may be able to close or shut off completely steam
or other vapours from entering into the cylinders of the engines where the position
or place of danger is at a distance from the engines.
The accompanying drawing shows an elevation of a governor A such as is
generally used in connection with a Crossley gas engine; on the lever B at a
suitable distance from it, I preferably fix a pin C with a wire or other attachment D
connected to a rope, chain, wire or the like E; by bell hanging or similar
arrangement. The said connection E communicates with a handle or lever F,
which may be suspended over any machine or where desired in the workshop or
factory so that when the handle or lever is moved whilst the engine is in motion
it communicates with the governor lever B so that it immediately throttles or shuts
off the steam or other vapours from the cylinders, thus completely stopping the
engines when desired.
