T o @ZZ whom t mag/concern: l
Be it known that I, CHARLES HENRY STENBERG, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ellsworth, in the county of Hamilton and State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful Thermostatic Regulator, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to provide a thermostatic regulator ofsilnple and inexpensive construction 'arranged and constructed to control the inflow of heated air to an incubator or the like.
A furtherobject is to provide such a device provided with means whereby the inflow of hot air is automatically regulated by the change in temperature of the air surrounding the incubator or the like as wel] as by the change of temperature within the incubator.
More particularly it is my object to proA vide means within and without an incubator or the like for regulating the temperature within the incubator which means lare' arranged to co-act with each other for controlling the iniiow l'of warm air to the interior of the incubator.
My invention consists in certain details in the construction, arrangement and com-bination of the various parts of the device, whereby the objects contemplated are attained, as hereinafter set forth, pointed out in my claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l shows a vertical, Asectional view through a portion of an incubator equipped with a thermostatic regulator embodying my invention. Fig. 2 shows-a detail viewin 'section of the thermostatic disk outside the incubator, :and part of the mechanism adjacent thereto. Fig. 3 shows a detail sectional view of mechanism for mounting the rod which extends into the incubator to the thermostatic disk therein. F ig. 4 vshows a detail .section lview of the operation of .the rod 2o.
n the accompanying drawings I have used the reference numeral 1'0 to indicate the walls or frame of an incubator which may be of heat insulating construction. Mounted within the incubator and spaced apart hom the bottom thereof is an egg tray 11.
'-The incubator may be supported u on the legs 12 if desired. Secured 'tothe rame `is a Ibracket 13 upon which rests an ordinary .lamp 14: orother suitable source 'of heat. 'The chimney I5 of the lamp extends into a cylinder 16 which is open at its upper end. Communicating with the cylinder 16 is a warm air conducting tube 17 which extends into the incubator preferably above the egg tray 11 and is open at its inner end for the lpurpose of discharging warm air within the incubator.
The parts heretofore described are of or dinary construction and-of themselves form no part of my present invention.
Mounted on the top of the incubator frame 10 is an upwardly extending bracket 18 the upper end of which is preferably bifurcated thereby forming two` arms 19. Pivoted between the upper ends of the arms 19 is a rod 20. Pivoted to one end of the rod 2O is a downwardly extending 'rod 2l to the lower end of which is securedV a cap or cover 22 designed in one position of its movement to entirely 4close the upper end of the cylinder 16. Slidably mounted on the other end of the arm 20 is a weight 23 which may be secured in any position of its movement on the rod 20 by means .of a set screw 24..'
verted cone. I have provided in .the lever arm 26 a plurality of openings 26a' for mounting the screw 27 in different positions in the lever arm 26.
Mounted on the top of the incubator is a base or block 28 -having at its upper surface a socket or vertical .opening Received 'in the socket in the block is a downwardly extending lug 29 on a thermostatic disk "30 of ordinary construction. The lug 29 .is vertically adjustable within the socket in .the lblock 28 and maybe secured in any position .of its sliding movement by means -of a set screw 3l, mounted in the 'block 28,. On the upper'side .of the disk 30 is a 'block or llug 30a inthe upper surface of which .is a cavity shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 2. The pointed lower end of the screw '27 is received in the cavity in the ,block or lug 30 as shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 2. Thus it will be seen that one end of the lever arm.26 is supported by the disk 30.
Mounted .on the .upper side of the lever.
On the upper surface' of the disk 41 is a lug or block 42 similar in construction to the block or lug 30a having at its upper surface a cavity in which is received the lower end of the rod 38. It .will therefore be seen that the ends of the lever arm 27 is supported by the disk 41 and 30. l
I will now describe the practical operation of my improved thermostatic regulator. As-
suming'that the parts are installed in position as heretofore described, the temperature within the incubator may be very accurately regulated by nieans 'of-my device. Assuming that the. lamp 14 is lighted for'heating the air in the cylinder 16, the parts are adjusted so that when the disks 30 and 41 are contracted and in their normal position, the
It is a well known fact that the air in the bottom of the incubator and in the top thereof varies considerably in temperature whenever the air outside the incubator is considerably higher or lower than the temperature of the air within the incubator. fore desirable that the discharge of warm air into the incubator be regulated to some extent to correspond to changes in the temperature of the airA outside theincubator. For effecting this regulation I have provided the thermostatic disk 3 0 and the parts connected therewith. It will be readily seen that the parts may be adjusted by means of the screws in the blocks 40 and 31 and by ivarying the position of the bearings 35 and the block 32 and the screw 34 to meet all ordinary variations in temperature. In this connection it is noted that I have provided in the rod 20, openings similar to the openings 26a in thelever arm 26 in which the screws 34 may be mounted in different positions. By selectively mounting the screw It is there- 27 in different openings 26a or selectively described. I am able to make adjustments to meet practically all conditions.
I claim as my invention.
