220 A. B. BROWN. Improvements in actuating the valves of engines worked by steam or other fluid. Dated January 21, 1868.

The patentee claims, first, actuating valves of engines worked by steam or other fluid by connecting such valves to a rod carrying two pistons of different areas, the steam or fluid being allowed constantly to act on the smaller area, whilst the larger area is alternately acted on by steam, and open to the outlet or exhaust, the admission of steam to act on the larger area being effected through a port leading from the cylinder of the engine near to one of its ends, as described. Second, he claims the employment of a momentary leak of steam to prevent the sliding or reciprocating valve from being again at once shifted back at the time when it has just been shifted by steam having passed from the cylinder of the engine to act on the larger area piston, and when, if there were not such leak, the valve would be shifted by reason of the port through which steam had previously passed from the cylinder being then momentarily open to the exhaust. Third, he claims governing the opening of the cylinder to the outlet or exhaust by a valve actuated by a tappet or small piston, as described.-Patent completed.

221 F. L. H. DANCHELL. Improvements in machinery and apparatus for preparing, shaping, and drying peat and other vegetable and mineral substances. Dated January 22, 1868.

The inventor also erects cabins or dressing rooms for the convenience of bathers, likewise a deck or platform around the inside and outside of the bath as a promenade.-Patent abandoned.

223 P. HARROWER and J. C. STUART. An improved spray producer, termed the Adams' spray inhaler, for the production of medicated vapours. Dated January 22, 1868.

This invention consists, generally, in a new or improved construction of a small portable apparatus for producing a stream or jet of fine spray or vapour used for medicinal and odoriferous purposes through inhalation and othervessel and a stream of liquid of a medicinal character from a phial or other vessel not heated containing it.Patent abandoned.

This invention consists, first, in a combination with a
revolving wheel or hollow ring or cylinder working in con-
tact with a fixed outer ring of curved steam pipes or arms
adapted to the wheel, the latter being divided into buckets
or chambers, which divisions constitute pistons for opera-wise by the combined action of a jet of steam from a heated
tion in connection with revolving or other abutments, and
the wheel being further furnished with bonnetted or other
suitable side escapes for the steam as it is exhausted from
or works its way through the engine, whereby the latter
is impelled, not only by direct action of the steam on the
pistons but also as it flows through the steam arms or
pipes, buckets, and from or out of the side escapes or out-
lets, by its action, as in the case of a simple emission
engine or Barker's mill or wheel. The invention also
consists in the employment (with such an arrangement)
of oppositely arranged or curved steam pipes or arms to
the wheel with valves for controlling the inlets and outlets
to the bucket on opposite sides of the pistons, so as to
facilitate or effect the reversal of the engine. Also the
invention consists in a combination with such valves of
pistons working in cylinders that are in communication
with opposite or reverse steam supply pipes or passages to

226 W. THOMPSON and T. STATHER. Improvements in mills for grinding or crushing. Dated January 22, 1868. This invention relates to mills in which the material to be operated upon is supplied to a circular casing or drum in which beaters are fitted, the beaters having a rapid rotary motion imparted to them, so as to grind or crush the material against the inside of the drum or against a revolving ring in the drum, the drum or the ring being serrated or plain internally. The patentees make the discharge aperture at the lower part of the drum instead of at the upper, and they cover the aperture with wire screens or perforated plates, so that, by having screens or plates with different sized meshes or perforations, the grinding or crushing may be regulated to any required degree of fineness or roughness. For grinding bark, for instance, they employ plates with perforations of, say, 14in., and less as required, while, for grinding a material very fine, wire screens with, say, forty meshes or more to the inch, may be employed. For grinding grain the spindle or shaft of the beaters in the drum passes through the lower part of the feed hopper, and is made with a screw to feed the grain into the drum, or with pins to agitate the grain and make it enter the drum in a regular manner; at the side of the drum, opposite the hopper, is a spout to admit a current of air to keep the mill cool, and this spout may be used when required to feed larger substances, such as bones, into the drum.-Patent completed.

230 R. NEEDHAM. Improvements in the valves of steam engines. Dated January 22, 1868.

This invention has for its object improvements in rotating or oscillating valves of steam engines, and consists in making such valves according to the following descriptioh. The valve consists of two hollow conical plugs or antifriction cones (that is, cones having a peculiar curve) working in corresponding seats, and the bases of these cones are in opposite directions, thus rendering the valve a perfect equilibrium. These cones are made separately, but are connected together by means of a rod or shaft, the connection being made so that each valve may work up to its seat independently of the other, but that the two may rotate simultaneously. The valve thus arranged works in a chamber, and each of the cones is provided with a partition which divides it into two compartments, the one communicating with the chamber, and the other with an outlet leading into the exhaust pipe, and radial openings are formed in the cones, which, during the rotation of the valve, alternately coincide with the passage leading into the cylinder. The inventor makes the openings which admit the steam to the cylinder of a peculiar form, so that the steam shall be at first admitted through a very small aperture, which gradually increases in size as the valve rotates, thus admitting more and more steam until the valve is fully open, then, instead of closing gradually, closes so as to shut off all the steam at once. This is accomplished by making the opening of such a form that the shut-off side is parallel to the axis of the valve, and the inlet or leading side more or less inclined thereto. The steam is admitted into the chamber with which one of the compartments in each of the cones communicates, and the valve, being properly arranged, is rotated by means of suitable mechanism from the crank shaft of the engine, each part of the cylinder being thus opened alternately to the steam and exhaust pipes.-Patent abandoned.

231 T. GOUNE. An improved canteen. Dated January 22, 1868.

This invention consists in making canteens of a portable description of any desired outline or shape in two parts, shells, or dishes which fit or close upon each other at their rim or edges, the one being furnished with a metal loop hinged to its inner edge, and which is equal, or nearly equal, in length to the internal diameter of the shell, and is for the purpose of clipping upon and holding in position when the canteen is closed. A liquor bottle which s made to lie within the shell, when open and in use, the portion of the shell with the metal loop serves as a fryiug pan, the loop being turned back and forming the handle for the same. The other shell or corresponding part of the canteen may be used as a serving dish, and, when the two shells are closed, a strap may pass around them, and through loops formed upon their outer edges in a line with the metal loop in the inside.-Patent completed.

motion, the inventor, according to one part of this invenIn order to deliver a bag from a railway carriage in tion, arranges within the carriage, and close to the side thereof, a rotating post or vertical axis, to which, near the bottom, an arm is jointed in such manner that it can be turned down so as to stand out radially from the post or axis, or be turned up so as to lie close in against the post or axis, and parallel to it. At the end of the arm a blade is jointed, and is fitted with a spring acting upon it, as the spring of a pocket knife acts on the blade. The bag to be delivered has connected with it a metal stem with a suitable head, and this stem is shut in between the arm and its spring blade. This being done, within the carriage a trap in the side is opened, and the post or axis is turned half round, which causes the arm to project out from the side of the carriage with the bag suspended from it When the bag enters the receiving net arranged on the line of railway, the shock opens the spring blade out from the arm, and the bag is released. There is a cord conthe post or axis, then up and over a pulley at the top of nected with the arm which passes over a pulley let into poise weight; this weight as soon as the bag is released the carriage, whence it descends and receives a counterdraws the arm up, so that it may not be liable to strike the piers of bridges, or other obstructions.-Patent abandoned.

An improved method of conveying Dated January 25, 1868. rotary motion to arles, This invention consists of an improved method of rotating axles on the ratchet principle in all machines, carriages, sewing machines, &c., worked either by steam, manual, or other power. Two flexible connecting rods, chains, or bands act upon two hollow drums, inside each of which are suspended one or more pawls. Each pawl works on a cogged or roughened wheel, or a wheel surrounded within the drum, and is kept in position to work by means with a tire of vulcanized india-rubber fixed on the axle other end of such lever being fastened to a ring working of a lever attached to a pin at the end of the pawl, the loose round the axle or bearings of the drum. Friction is applied to this ring by means of a weight or spring, so as slightly to retard its free movement. The drums have the same centre of motion as the axle to be turned. When the drum is moved backwards, the lever acting from the ring before mentioned on to the pawl lifts it

just free of the ratchet, and keeps it so until the movement is reversed, when it instantly causes it to cog into the teeth of the ratchet. By this apparatus also the noise which would otherwise be occasioned by the pawl when trailing on the ratchet is obviated. The connecting rods, chains, or bands, after encompassing the drums to which they are attached, are passed over pulleys placed in some convenient part of the machine. The upper portion of one rod, chain, or band, and the lower portion of the other' are fastened respectively to the piston or other motive rod. The machine being put in motion alternate action is given to the pawls, which working on the cogged or roughened wheels impart continuous rotation to the axle. -Patent completed.
