AUTOMATIC FLOW-REGULATING VALVE.
Specication of Letters Patent.
Application mea January 14, 191e. serial No. 72,027.
T0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALEXANDER S. BRUCE, a citizen of the United States, residing in Bangor, in the county of Penobscot' and State of Maine, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Automatic Flow-Regulating Valves, ofl which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention 1s to provide an automatic valve, of simple and cheap construction and of few parts, whereby the flow of fluidsV therethrough (especially those of gaseous form) may be automatically regulated by the action of the varylng pressure exerted by such fluids. Such valve may be used with advantage as in air-intake for the inlet of the manifold of internal combustion engines, and is shown and described herein as so placed.
Fromthe drawing and description it will be seen, that my said improved automatic regulating valve, may be used with advantage, to automatically regulate the flow of all fluids, by the varying pressure, whetherl the pressure upon the moving and actuating parts of the valve is varied by 1ncrease `o pressure upon the -inlet side, or diminutlofi of pressure upon the outlet side, of such moving and actuating parts.
My said invention is fully shown, described and claimed in the following specilication, of which the accompanying drawing forms a part, wherein similar numerals of reference designate like or equivalent parts wherever found throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a face view of my said valve as applied to the manifold inlet-pipe of a .two-cylinder explosive vapor engine just above the carbureter. Fig. 2 is a view in detail of such, valve in central longitudinal section, showing the same in the closed position. Fig. 3 is a like view showing the same in the medial or half open position, caused by increased pressure upon the inlet or diminished pressure on the /outlet side, and Fig. 4 is a like view of the positioning of the moving parts, when upon further increase of exterior or diminution of interior pressure the valve-disk is forced to the fully open position.
In the embodiment shown the valve comprises an outer shell 1 having a diminished 4end 2 at one end thereof which is externallv screw threaded and. the other en@ inte/maui' screw threaded. The diminished end has a conical opening enlarging in its inward d irection, the diminished end 2 forming with the shell 1 a shoulder 3, In the shell 1 a reclprocating member or active member 4 of the valve is disposed which comprises an outer cylindrical portion 5 having near one end an inward radially extending vflange 6, the inner end 7 of which is bent at right angles to such ange 6 and extends out be; yond the end ofthe cylindrical portion 5 adjacent thereto. When positioned in the shell 1 the outwardly extending portion .7 of the active member 4 extends ina direction away from the diminished end of the shell 1. To the internally` screw threaded portion of the shell 1 a disk member 8 is secured which is provided with a central orifices 10 surrounding such central bore.
Secured in the bore 9 of the disk 8 is a screw threaded shank 11 of the guide member 12 of the active member 4. flflhmlgguide` member 12 is provided with-Piattiy enlargedannular portion 13 to form a shoulder and an elongated taperingmember 14, betweenfgiwhich tapering member 14 and thewshoulder 13 there is providednan.r for the reception '4C IQ Stop-washerl, the shoulder 14 being disposed betweenfthe annular recess 15 and the shank 11. Q
In operative position, the tapering member 14 is disposed in the shell 1 with its diminished end projecting into the :conical opening in the diminished end 2 andffisprovided with a washer 16 of any suitable zmaterial against which the diminished outwardly extending portion 7 of the'l'iactive member 4 is adapted to abut, the activev p member 4 being normally maintained contact with this washer 16 by the coil spring 17 strained between the shoulder 3.and I the Harige 6 of the active memberfll and en circling the tapering member 14. For lock ing the shank 11 in position on the-disk 8,
a nut 18 is secured to the outwardly extend-ff of a fuel conduit of a combustionengine, in the present instance, Fig. 1, the-valve being shown as secured to the manifold M of an automobile engine between the carbureter C 6 and the combustion chamber not shown, the
external screw threaded portion 2 being secured into an opening provided in the manifold M.
In the operation ofthe device, it will be 10 seen that according to the vacuum created uponthe outlet side of the valve, or an excess of pressure `created upon'the inlet side,
vtheactive memberor disk-valve 4 will be drawn a greater or less extent toward the diminished vend of 2; against the tension ofthe spring 17 and thereby, due to the tapering member 14 gradually narrow- 111g4 as it `approachesr the Ydiminished por-` tion of the shell `2, the opening between the active member 4 and the tapering membery 14 ,f will increase, and thus the air drawnin through the perforations 10, will be more `or less freely drawn in therethrough, according to the size of the opening between the aotivemember 4 and the tapering member 14, which is determined by the variation of pressure,- and proportioned Iby theadjustment of the tapering `member 14, bymeans of its positioning.
It is obvious that ,various changes and a casinghavingan inlet `and an' outlet; a I
.tapered-spindle or member adapted by change in position to vary lthe area of the.
casing passage; and a'bodily moving diskmember lor valve with an orifice through which.y thespindle passes, reciprocated upon the spindle byvariations in the pressure,
from the fully open to the fully closed posi-` tion; andr a spring normally forcing the disk-member valve'into closure.
