Abstract

277,879. Plummer, C. St. C., and Kermode, W. M. April 7, 1927. Steam traps of the bucket float type are provided with a pilot valve opened by the fall of the bucket and held open by a trip catch until the discharge is complete. The float 6 is provided with a guide pin 8 sliding in the discharge tube 7, and carries a bracket 9 pivoted to a lever 11 which is also pivoted on a fixed spindle 12. A projection 13 on the lever 11 is adapted to engage with a projection 14 on a sleeve 15, carrying a fork 17, Fig. 6, which bears against an adjustable stop 18 on the spindle 19 of a spring controlled pilot valve 20. Pressure fluid is thus admitted through passage 21a to a cylinder 21, the piston of which opens the main discharge valve 22. When the pilot valve is open, a detent 25 on the sleeve 15 engages with a gravity trip catch 26 which holds the valve open until the discharge is complete, and the rising bucket lever 11 then engages the roller 28 and releases the catch. The main valve may be operated by hand by means of a screwed spindle 29 which engages the piston.
