WATER-GAGE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 26, 1915.
To all 'wlz 0m it may concern:
Be it known that I, LEOPOLD KASSANDER, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in VVater- Gages, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to water gages adapted to be used in ascertaining the level of the water in steam boilers, and the like, and its novelty consists in the construction and adaptation of the parts as will be more fully hereinafter pointed out. In instruments of this class it is desirable that the thoroughly protected sight glass should be from injury and at the same time, danger of leakage should be avoided, and the descrlbed invention secures these desired ends efliciently and with economy.
, In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front View of a device embodying the invention; Fig. 2 is a central vertical section thereof, and Fig 3 is a transverse horizontal section on the plane of the line 3-3 in Fig. 1. Fig. 4. is a detail perspective view of certain of the compression members and a portion of the ring on which they are mounted.
In the drawings, 10 is the sight glass made of glass of usual form and dimensions, 11 is a casing made of suitable material as cast metal and provided with a vertical channel or recess 12 adapted to contain the column of water the height of which is to be ascertained.
13 and 14 are pipes or fittings secured to, or made integral with, the casing 11 and affording communication between the channel 12 and the water space of the boiler. The casing 11 is provided with two walls or side members 15, 15, the space between which is wider than the width of the sight glass 10 and terminating in a plane 16 slightly in front of the front surface of such'glass. In front of the walls 15, there is arranged a cover plate 17 having a long central aperture 170 through which the front surface of the sight glass is viewed, and which cover plate is secured to the casing 11 by any suitable means as bolts and nuts indicated at 18. In the space between the sight glass 10 and each wall of the casing there is arranged a suitable packing 19. Means are provided for keeping this packing in place without placing any undue strain upon the other parts of the device, comprising a series of straps 20 adapted to encircle the casing and provided with inturned flanges 21 which are adapted to contact with and press upon compression plates 22 which are inserted through apertures in the cover 17 provided for that purpose into the space between the sides of the sight glass and the walls of the casing and have their inner ends in the form of a continuous ring 22 that bears against the packing 19. A set screw 23 is adapted to pass through each strap at the rear and to impinge against the rear wall of the easing. A suitable packing 24. is interposed between the sight glass and the casing, and a further suitable packing 25 is interposed between the sight glass and the cover 17.
