It
will be noted that one stein is provided for 10o botho these valves. and that they act; simultaneously. ln order that 'the parts mayfbe disconiiected, a joint 83is lprovided in the st em so that the dash-pot mechanism can be disconnected without taking ott' the pilot 105 ln Fig. 9 isshown the construction when -the b vdranlic dash-potis omitted. To the .end of the rod or stem'll is screw-threaded tbc cap S4..ivbich contains the head of the' 1 10 rod S5.. This rod forms au axial continuation or extension of the stem #ltiaud passes through a long packing sleeve. 8G to prevent` the escapeof steam fro'ni'the cylinder. To the lower cndof the rod is secured a bracketl (t2 to. .which 15 connected. by the pivot 7l,` thc lever the latter in turn being con'- iicctcd tothe governor. The total movement of the"governor in this `illustration is assumed to be different from thatpreviously 129 described, hence the distance. betwecn the axes of the stein 49 and-pivot Tl is different from that in Figs. 2.and 5. The construe-- tion and arrangement,of the pilot-valve and the steam passagesrand ports cooperating 1.25 'therewith to control the movementslof the,
' piston 55 are the saine as that of the similar parts shown` in' l"igs. 2. 2l, and. T. and previously dcscritied. 'lhe .exhaust from the c i'linderescapes by the pipe .78 to a con-V denser .or' to the atmosphere, as4 desired. 'lhe lower end of the pilot valve is pivotally connected to the lever 70, and the latter is provided with a` guide 8T to 'direct it in its vertical"movements The Aoperation .of my improved mechanism is as follows Assuming that the turbine is in operation and one valve is openand the :load increases. The governor will depress the roda'. AThis moves the relay valve' (57 and-"theby-pass lvalve 68 down, and steamfi's admittedto the underside of piston 55, Figs. 2 and 6. This causes the latter to move upwardly and' carry with it the second valve, and thusmole steam is admitted to'theturbine. As the piston 55' moves upwardly 1t carries with it the piston 59, and the liquid above the latterv piston is conveyed through the passages-and ports past the valve 68 to the' under side of the piston. As the motor piston begins to move,
1t carries with it the pivot 71 of the leverA 70, thepivot 72 now lbecoming the; fulcrum.
This action continues until "the valves-67' and (i8 close the ports, when the motorl will cease operating and a body of fluid will' confined above andajsecond body below the .dash-pot piston 59.'A A furtherlincrease -inV load will open the third valve, or' a greater number' of valves, if the turbme is so provided. Onl the other hand, if the laaddecreases, the valves will close, one'afterlithe other, and the valves 67 'and 68 vwillib moved accordingly. On a decrease lin lod. these valves are moved upwardly at the startj and .subsequently downward by the movenient of the motorl iston.
In accordance with the provisions of thepatent statutes, Iha-ve described the principle of operation of my Invention, together with the apparatus which I now consider to represent the best embodiment thereof; but
I desire to have it understood that the apparatus shown is only illustrative, and that the invention can be carried out by other means.
