No. 19819.—1st August, 1905.—ALBERT HENRY FARMER, of Devonport, Auckland, New Zealand, Engineer. Improvements in or relating to steam-valves.*

Extract from Specification.—This invention relates to improvements in the construction of steam-valves by means of which the valve may be operated to open or close at a distance therefrom, and which, should any leak or escape of steam occur in the pipes controlled by the valve, such valve will be automatically closed so as to shut off the supply of steam. The invention relates particularly to that class of valve in which a cylinder is combined with the valve-chamber, and which cylinder contains a piston connected by means of a rod to the valve itself, such piston being adapted to be operated upon to open or close the valve by means of steam admitted to the cylinder below or above it. Such appliances have also combined with them means for pressing upon the valve-rod so as to keep the valve normally closed.

[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]
