FRANK H. OBDNEB, F BUFFALO, NEW YORK; FLORA M. ORDNER ADMINISTRATRIX OF SAID FRANK H. ORDNER, DECEASED.

STRAIGHTWAY VALVE.

Specification of letters Patent.

' Application filed January 28, 1909. Serial No. 473,924.

To all whom it mag concern:

- Be it lmown that I, FRANK H. ORDNER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Buffalo, county of Erie, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Straightway Valves, ofwhich the following is a full,

clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to improvements in valves and more particularly to straight way valves and it is especially designed to take the place of gate valves.-

I'have sought to produce a valve which would have a perfect seat and at the same time be easily and quickly opened. With this and other objects in view I have produced my invention and it provides a valve which is quick to open, has a perfect seat and is so constructed that nomatter what pressure may be exerted against it,-it can not leak nor creep. Moreoverthe edges of the valve seat cannot be ground by sand or other rinding substances found in water since ,t e valve seat is "always kept clear and free from grinding sediment by the flow of the first and last water which passes the valvea'nd its said seat.

My valve possesses not only the advan-' tages above enumerated, but it is simple in construction and. cheap to build. a Those skilled in the art will :easily understand from the following description and the accompanying drawings the many adinvention.

Referring now to the -drawingsa '-=Figurev 1 is a sectional elevation :of my invention,

a shoulder of the lower end of the spindle standard 6 thus holding firmly together in a tight joint the said spindle standard 6 and the valve casing 3.

The spindle 9 is preferably provided with screw threads l0 and 11 one of which is preferably a right handed screw and the other a left handed screw. The screw. threads 10 mesh with the screw threads in the spindle standard 6 as clearly shown. The screw threads 11 mesh with screw threads 12 in my wedge block 13. The spindle 9 passes through the spindle standard 6 and into the said Wedge block 13.

A screwthreaded cap 14 fits over the top of the spindle standard 6 and the spindle 9 passes through its center. The usual packmg means 15 are provided for keepin the joint formed between the cap 14 an' the spindle standard 6. To the top of the spindle 9 is suitably secured in the usual manner the hand wheel 16 or any other suitable means for rotatin the spindle 9.

The wedge bloc 13 is adapted when held 'in its lowermost position as clearly shown in full lines in .Flg. 1 to press a ainst the swing valve 17. This swing va ve 17 is- .pivotally mounted upon a pin 18 suitably located in the valve casing 3.

y The swing valve is adapted'to rotate :from the position may be pushed away therefrom by pressure. On opposite sides of the valve casing 3 I provide

glrideways

23 and 24 in which side flanges 25 and 26 provided on each side of the wedge block 13 are adapted to travel.

The function of the

guideways

23 and 24 and the side flanges 25 and 26 is to keep the wedge block 13 in a straight line of travel when it is moving upwardly or downwardly.

' The operation of my valve is as follows: When the valve is seated the partsoccupy the positions shown in full lines in Fig. 1. When it is desired to open the valve the hand. wheel 16' is revolved and the right handed threads 10 and the left handed threads 11 on the spindle 9 operate to. pro

vdime a quick upward travel ofthe wedge block 13. As soon as the wedge block 13 begms to rise it releases its pressure against the guide flange 19 of the swing valve 17 and the pressure of water in the pipe 4 may then be exerted to push the swing valve.

17 from its seat. If this pressure .is not sufficient to push the swing valve 17 from its seat then as soon as the wedge-block 13 is raised sufliciently far to come in contact with the flange 22 of the pin 21 the upward motion of the wedge block- 13 will pull the swing valve 17 away from its seat and when the wedge block 13 has reached the upper most limit of its travel the swing valve 17 will be in the position, shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, and will'be held thereby means of the pin 21. Reversing the rotation of the hand wheel 16 will quickly drive the wedge block 13 downwardly and this will simultaneously drive the swing valve 17 downwardly until the wedge block 13 and the swing valve 17 are in the position shown I in full lines in Fig. 1.

The seat of the swing valve 17 will obviously be kept clean of any sediment which would gnnd the seat by reason of the fact that the first flow of water over the seat .tends to keep it clean and the last flow of water which is allowed to pass the seat likewise washes it clean of any sediment. The pressure of the wedge block 13 against the guide flange 19 is always suflicient to keep the swing valve 17 firmly on its seat and produce a tight fit.

, Obviously it is not an essential part of from it's seat but of course the swing valve my invention that the screw threads on the spindle. shall be one right handed and theother left handed since they may both be either left or right handed, but when of the character shown and herein described, they will produce a quicker travel upwardly and downwardly of the wedge block and there-v fore a quicker opening of the swing valve. It is not essential that the SWIIIg valve 17 should be mounted as herein shown, the

only essential being that the said valvelbe made to move away from and onto its seat simultaneously with the upward and downward movement of the wedge block and further that it be held firmly on its seat by the wedge-block. I

What I claim is: V

1. The combination of avalve casingprovided with a valve seat, guide ways provided within said casing, a valvev pivoted within said casing, a valve controlling member longitudinally movable in said guide 'ways, link connections from-said valve controlling member to said valve to swing the latter on its pivot and means to actuate ,the valve controlling member.

2. In a straight way valve the combinetion with the valve casing, the valve handle and the valve spindle of a swing valve ro tatably mounted in said valve casmg, a wedge block screwthreaded to said valve spindle and adapted to hold said swing valve on its seat when in its downward po sition and release said swing valve from its seat when in its upward position, a pin secured to said swing valve and a hook flange on the upper end of said pin whereby when said wedge block is drawn upwardly it contacts with said hook flange and thereby draws upward said swing valve. 3. ha straight way valve, the combination with a valve casing, a'valve handle and its spindle, of .a swing valve rotatably mounted in said valve casing, a guide flange on the face of said swing valve, a wedge block secured to said spindle and provided with a guidegroove in which said guide flange is adapted to'travel, a pin secured to said swing .valve and'a hook flange on the fupper end of said pin whereby when said wedge block is drawn upwardly it contacts -with said hook flange and thereby draws upwardly said swing valve.

4.
