VALVE-ACTUATING DEVICE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 27, 1915.
Application filed May 1, 1912. Serial No. 694,540.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HANS Z. NELSON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Albert Lea, in the county of Freeborn and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Valve- Actuating Devices, of which the following, when taken in connection with the drawings accompanying and forming a part hereof, is a full and complete description, suflicient to enable those skilled in the art to make, understand, and use the same.
This invention relates to valve actuating mechanism particularly adapted to close the valve, at a determined time, which controls the supply of gasolene to vapor generating devices. And the principal objects of the invention are to obtain a device which is suitable for use in street lighting incandescent vapor lamps; and which may also be used in what are known as central generator incandescent lighting systems.
To accomplish the purposes sought by me I have embodied my invention in a construction which is simple, easily understood and operated, and which is not liable to get out of order.
In said drawings Figure 1 is a front elevation of the device, and of a generating de vice, showing the casing of said generating device in section and showing the casing of the timing element of the device in side elevation. Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of said device. 1F ig. 3 is an isometric view of a valve stem, the upper end of a lever, the lower end of an additional lever, both loosely mounted on said stem, and of a base which is rigidly mounted on said stem. Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the several parts which are illustrated in Fig. 1, with said casing of the generating device in elevation. Fig. 5 is a horizontal section on line 5-5 of Fig. 4, viewed in the direction indicated by the arrows. Fig. 6 is a horizontal section on line 6-6 of Fig. 4t, viewed in the direction indicated bythe arrows. Fig. 7 is a rear elevation of said casing of the timing element and of the lever operated thereby, andFig. '8 is a top plan view of a portion of said casing and lever.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several figures of the drawing.
Before describing the device embodying this invention a brief description will be given of a vapor generating device and accessories which are controlled by the device embodying this invention.
A is a casing, consisting of part a and part a which is hinged to said part a by hinge a.
a is the bottom of easing A.
B is a standard which is provided with horizontal member 1), vertical member 6, and base 6.
C are screws attaching base 6 to wall Z.
D is a filter tube, cl is filtering material, d, is a screw threaded stem, cl is a disk or piston on stem d, d is a cap on tube (Z and el is a packing nut. When stem d is turned disk cl is advanced and filtering material d is thereby compressed.
E is a gasolene supply pipe arranged to discharge into filter tube D.
N is a vapor generator and G is a connecting pipe between filter tube D and said generator N.
The device embodying this invention is constructed as follows: F is a valve which is provided with stem zterip 7. Base H is provided with the arms I is a lever which is loosely mounted on said stem f. l/Vhen said valve F is open the lever I is necessarily raised into substantially the position thereof which is illustrated in Figs. 1, 2, 3 and hand resting against the abutment which is illustrated in said Fig. 4. Lever I is provided with the horizontal part i, which is located or positioned between the arms h, h of base H.
I is a weight which is secured on lever I, in an adjusted position, by screw 1'. When lever I is resting against the projection or abutment which is illustrated in Fig. 4, it is on or slightly over the center, of the axial line of stem f,'and hence remains in said raised position.
J is a lever which is loosely mounted on stemf, and said lever is provided with the part or portion j, which extends into the path of movement of part 2' of lever I, (see Figs. 2 and 3).-
K is a bell crank which is pivotally mounted on fulcrum 76.
K is the shell or casing of the timing element of the device, (said timing element not being shown), and 7c is rigidly secured to said casing, (see Fig. One end of lever J H is a base which is rigidly secured to said is attached to the end of one of the arms of bell crank K, by loop j and screw 10?.
L is an arm or lever which is attached to bell crank K by pivot 70. V
L is a sharp edge on the under side of lever L, and L. is a weight'secured onsaid lever. M is the face of said shell K, and m is the key by means ofwhich the spring (not shown) for actuating said timing element is wound. M is a shaft or spindle of said timing element, and revolves once in an hour. baid shaft or spindle Mis provided with external screw threads, (see Fig.8.) '1
M is a set bolt in arm or lever L. To set the timing device one end of set bolt M is forcing it around on stem f. After lever I has commenced to turn, and as it gains some momentum, the horizontal part 2' therebrought ,into contact with the casing K when arm or lever Lislaid on'shaft or spindle M, with the sharp edge-L in engagement with the external screw threads on said'shaft; and hence, said bolt 3 is so 7 adjusted in said lever L that the requisite number of revolutions of said'shaft or spindle will occur before said leve'r'Lis discharged, from said shaft, (by'the turning of said shaft); When said lever L is discharged from. said shaft the weight L turns said lever J "on its fulcrum is, thus moving crank K and turning lever J on stem'f of the valvel'F. The turning of said lever-J turns lever I, by part j of said lever J coming into contact withsaid lever I and -Fof"comes in contact with. the arm 72, and
' embodies my invention constitute means,
whereby, when a supply of gasolene is opened to the vapor generating device herei in illustrated and described, the said'supply is permitted to flow for a determined length of time and is then shut ofi, automatically, by the operation of the device, at a time "measured by the timing element of the de- 7 said "valve provided with a' 1.
