IMPROVEMENTS IN HYDRAULIC ORGAN BLOWERS
Year: 1884

page_text: PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
I JAMES JEPSON BINNS of Lower Town Street Bramley in the County of York
Organ Builder do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS
IN HYDRAULIC ORGAN BLOWERS," to be as follows:
-
The object of my Invention is to construct hydraulic organ blowers so as to be
cheap, effective, easily regulated, noiseless, and simple in its parts.
I employ a large cylinder, piston and rod, the cylinder has port ways at each
end, over the port holes, is a valve connected to the piston rod of a second smaller
cylinder above the large one, this piston rod carries a double piston, at the side is
a cylindrical valve box containing a double valve worked by a rod this rod is
connected to the large piston and can be regulated to any nicety as to the length
of its stroke, the cylindrical valve box has at each end an exhaust pipe with check
tap connected to the exhaust in the large or under cylinder thus regulating or
steadying the working of the valve of the second cylinder.
The water feeds in to the centre of the cylindrical valve box, as the valve opens,
one or the other port, it feeds the second cylinder, while it exhausts at the other
port, on the return the other port feeds the cylinder, at the contrary ond whilst
the other is exhausting.

York Organ Builder do hereby declare the nature of my said Invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN HYDRAULIC ORGAN BLOWERS," 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 my Invention is to construct hydraulic organ blowers, so as to be
cheap, effective, easily regulated, noiseless, and simple in its parts.
I employ a large cylinder, piston and rod the connecting rod is attached to the
trace of feeder, the cylinder has portways at each ond, over the valves of the port
holes, is a valve cover, connected to the piston rod of a second smaller cylinder,
above the large one this piston rod carries a double piston each piston is fitted
with leather cups or rings at the side is a cylindrical valve box containing a double
valve, each valve is fitted with leather cups, so as to be perfectly watertight, and
are worked by a rod, this rod is connected to the large piston by a connecting rod,
and bracket, and can be regulated to any nicety, as to the length of its stroke, by
stops, the cylindrical valve box has at its each end, an exhaust pipe, with check
tap, connected to tho exhaust, in the large or under cylinder, thus regulating or
steadying, the working of the valve of the second cylinder, the water feeds into the
centre of the cylindrical valve box, as the valve opens, one or the other port, it
feeds the second cylinder, while it exhausts at the other port, on the return, the
other port feeds the cylinder, at the contrary end, whilst the other is exhausting.
DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of my Invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional plan through
the line A. B. Fig. 3 is a front elevation in section of Fig. 1.
I employ a large cylinder, C, with piston and piston rod, the piston rod D, is
attached to the trace D', of feeder D³, which it operates, the cylinder C, has
portways C¹, at each end, over the valves E, connected, to the port holes is a valve
cover F, connected to the piston rod G, of a second smaller cylinder H, above the
larger cylinder C, this piston rod G, carries a double piston H, H³, each piston is
fitted with leather cups or rings J, J, at the side of the cylinder H, is a cylindrical
valve box K, containing a double valve L, L, each valve is fitted with leather cups
M, M, so as to be perfectly air and water tight, the valves are upon a spindle N,
attached to a connecting rod-P, this connecting rod P is attached to the large piston.
rod D, of the cylinder C, by bracket R, and can be regulated to any nicety as to
the length of its stroke by stops S, S, nt each end of the cylindrical valve box is an
exhaust pipe T T, connected to the exhaust, for the large cylinder C, each exhaust
pipe T, may have a check tap thus regulating and steadying the working of the
valve of the second cylinder, the water fecds into the centre of the cylindrical
valve box at V, and as the valves open, one or the other port, it feeds the second
cylinder, while it exhausts at the other port, and on the return, the opposite port
feeds the cylinder, whilst the other is exhausting. For preventing jerking at each
end of the stroke, I employ an extra check valve W, with valve rod W¹, and
spring X, connected to the pivotted lever Y, carrying at its other end, the check
rod Y, whereby at each end of the stroke the check valve diminishes the supply of
water, by means of check rod Y2, and by valve rod W¹, coming in contact, with
the adjustable screw W, the spring X, returns the check valve to its proper
position.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is;-
1. The cylindrical valve box K, and valves L, L, constructed and operating as
shewn and described.
2. The combination of the two cylinders and the cylindrical valve box, constructed
and operating as shewn and described.
3. The arrangement of check valve and rods for preventing jerking or unsteadiness
at each end of the stroke as shewn and described.
a weary-card day of say 1884.
