Tank Valves, of which improvement the fol-' lowing is a specification.
My invention relates to valves for controlling the supply of water from the tank of a locomotive tender to the injector connections on the locomotive, and its object is to provide an appliance of such type which will be desirably applicable in connection with the water bottom tender tanks which are now in general service, and which will obviate the necessity of perforating the upper sheets of the water bottom and extending the operating shaft through the coal space of the tender, and will also enable either the valve member proper or the strainer, or both, to be removed and replaced whenever desired, without involving the delay and waste of draining the water from the tank.
The improvement claimed is hereinafter fully set forth.
In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a plan or top view of an appliance illustrating an embodiment of my invention; Fig. 2, a vertical longitudinal central section through the same; Fig. 3, an end view, in elevation, as seen from the right; and, Fig. 4;, a vertical transverse section, on the line a; as of Fig. 2.
In the practice of my invention, referring descriptively to the specific embodiment thereof which is herein exemplified, I provide a valve casing, 1, which is preferably, as shown, an integral casting, and which is divided by horizontal and vertical partition walls into a water receiving chamber, 1, which is located at its top; a valve chamber, l", and a strainer or discharge chamber, 1". The valve and strainer or discharge chambers are disposed with their axes in a common vertical plane below the water re ceiving chamber, and are of substantially circular cross section, the valve chamber varying therefrom by being flattened at its top by the partition which divides it from the water receiving chamber. The axis of the strainer or discharge chamber is located below that of the valve chamber, thereby caus- 7 the object of this construction being to give the freest possible access of water to the strainer ordischarge chamber for a determined volume thereof which will enable the entn'e casing to be made of as small dimensions as possible. An inlet opening, which may be, as shown, of the full diameter of the water. receiving chamber, is formed in the top thereof, said opening being surrounded by a flange, 1, through which the casing is connected to the bottom of the tender tank, around an opening therein, and a delivery nozzle, 1", is formed on the bottom of the wall of the strainer or discharge chamber, for the attachment of a pipe or hose section leading to the injector on the locomotive.
Communication between the valve and strainer or discharge chambers is controlled by a main or service valve, 2, of the lift or puppet type, which is fitted between guides, 1 in the valve chamber, and is adapted to close on a seat, 1 surrounding an opening in the partition wall between the valve and strainer or discharge chambers. The valve, 2, is fitted detachably between collars on a valve stem, 3, having an external thread, 3, which engages a corresponding internal thread on a nut, 4, fixed in a head, 4:, which closes an opening in the outer end of the valve chamber, and is secured detachably to the casing, 1, by studs, 4 The valve stem passes through a stufiing boX, 4, on the head, a, and carries, on its outer end, a hand wheel, 3*, by which it may be rotated, to move the valve, 2, to and from its seat as desired.
A cylindrical strainer, 6, is fitted in the strainer or discharge chamber, being interposed between the seat of the service valve, 2, and the discharge nozzle, 1 said strainer being insertible and removable through an end opening in the casing which is closed by a removable head, 1 secured in position by studs, 1, and nuts.
The water receiving chamber communicates with the valve chamber through a. normally open passage, 1 formed in the partition wall between the two chambers, said passage being controlled by a supplemental shut-off valve, 5, connected to and operable by a stem, 5, which passes through a stuffing box, 1, on the wall of the water receiving chamber, on the opposite side of the easing from the valve stem 3 and is coupled to Y a handle section, 5 lVhen the shut-off valve is moved ofi its seat for the operation of the appliance in service, the handle section drops by gravity, and prevents the accidental or undesired closure of the shut-off valve.
It will be observed that all the parts of the appliance are readily accessible, and that either the service valve or the strainer, or
both, can be readily removed for cleaning or repair, Whenever desired. By closing the supplemental shut-0E valve, this can be done Without drawing off the water from the tender tank. I
I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent:
1. A valve casing provided at its top with flanges for attaching it to the underside of a tank floor, the upper part of the casing form ing an inlet chamber, a horizontally sliding valve in said chamber to control the egress therefrom, a valve chamber located below one side of and normally communicating with said inlet chamber, a horizontally sliding valve in said valve chamber to control the egress therefrom, a strainer chamber located below the other side of said inlet chamand horizontal cylindrical valve and strainer chambers below, the partitions between the inlet and valve chambers and between the valve and strainer chambers having openings surrounded by valve seats, and the strainer chamber having a discharge opening in its bottom, horizontally movable valves in said inlet and valve chambers, re-
spectively, to close said openings, and means 7 for actuating said valves projecting through opposite sides of the casing.
