IMPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS FOR VENTILATION
Year: 1884

page_text: I HUGH SAMUEL SIMESTER of 155 Upper Thames Street in the City of
London Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS
IN APPARATUS FOR VENTILATION to be as follows:-
Automatic Valves to regulate supply of air through Vertical Tubes, Boxes, or
other apparatus to close or partly close, so as to shut out or prevent over supply
during storms or high winds, having counterbalance to wind pressure by the
weight of flaps, or by counter weight, or spring or by revolving cylinder, or cup &
ball.
A Valve of similar construction for outlets.
Vertical Tubes formed of sections of cast metal, or other material, or metal and
other material combined, so formed as to fit together without screws or rivets.
Vertical Ventilators formed of Tubes within one outer Tube.
Vertical Ventilators formed of a group of any number of Tubes Cast or fixed
together.
Single Vertical Tubes having the outward appearance of a group of Tubes.
Vertical Ventilation Tubes of Cast Metal, ornamented with sunk patterns, or
sunk lines.
Vertical Tubes of ornamental Glass, Pottery, China Papier mâché, Japanned
Ware.
Vertical Tubes of Métal combined with Glass, Pottery Tiles, China, Papier
mâché, or other suitable material.

page_text: I HUGH SAMUEL SIMESTER of 155 Upper Thames Street in the City of
London Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS
IN APPARATUS FOR VENTILATION and in what manner the same is to be performed,
to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :—
Automatic Valves to regulate Currents of Air through Vertical Tubes or other
Apparatus so constructed as to reduce without closing the opening for passage of
air in proportion to the Wind pressure during high wind and opening as Wind
pressure moderates.
Vertical Tube inlet or outlet Ventilators as follow.
Vertical Tube Ventilators formed in Sections of Cast Metal or other Material or
Metal and other material combined to fit or slide together with rebated frames to
receive panels of Metal or other Material which may be Works of Art, Lettered
Tablets, Photographs or any kind of decoration.
Vertical Tube Ventilators formed of Tubes within one outer Tube or Case such
as jamnbs of chimney piece &c.
Vertical Tube Ventilators formed of a Group of any number of Tubes cast or
fixed together.
Single Vertical Tubes having the outward appearance of a Group of Tubes.
Vertical Tubes of Ornamental Glass Pottery, China, Papier Mache, Enamelled
or Japanned Ware.
Vertical Tubes of Metal combined with Glass, Pottery, Tiles, China, Paper Mache
or other suitable Material.
Some of the above are intended to form Chimney piece Umbrella Stand or
Flower Stand.
I now proceed to further illustrate my Invention by reference to the Drawings
Figures 1, 2, 3 & 4 are plans and sections and 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10 are sections
shewing Automatic Valves "A" in frames "B" Figures 11, 12 & 13 are plans
and part elevations of Vertical Tubes formed in sections with rabated frames "C"
to receive panels "D" of Metal Glass Wood or other Material which may be Works
of Art Lettered Tablets Photographs or any kind of decoration Figures 14 & 15
are also illustrations of forming Vertical Tubes in sections to slide or fit together.
"E" are frames or boxes by preference of Cast Metal to receive Vertical Tubes "F”
of Metal China Glass or other material.
Figure 16 is plan illustrating Vertical Tubes "G" within outher Tube or
Case "H."
Figures 17, 18, 19, & 20 are plans I and part elevations "K" of groups of Tubes
cast or fixed together.
Figures 21, 22 & 23 are plans "L" and part elevations "M" of single Vertical
Tubes having the outward appearance of groups of Tubes.
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 "Automatic Valves and Vertical Tube Ventilators in such forms and
combination as herein before more particularly described."
