a Be it known that wefMAnIsoN M. LIFF andWILLIAM R. HoN, citizens of the United States, residing at Conception Junction, in

thecounty of Nodaway and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combinationwvalves; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, andexact description oftheinvention, suchjas will enable other skilled in the 'art to which it appertains to make and use the, same. a

This invention has for its object topro vide an improved valvewhich may-not be opened'by unauthorized persons and is par- I ticularly adapted forusein controlling the flow of liquid fuel to the explosive engine of a motor vehicle, although it isnot necessarily limited to suoh iuse,

Another object is the provision of a valve having the inlet and outlet 1 ports arranged out of line with the ports 1 in the valve sections, so as to prevent an unauthorized pera son disconnectingthe pipes'leading to and 25 fromsthe valve and inserting an instrument inwthe valveports in order to ascertain the combination of the valve.

1 With these and other objects in view,.the

invention consists in the novel construction,

combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter specifically described,

claimed and illustratedin the accompanying drawings, in which: A

Figure 1 represents a longitudinal sectional view through the improved valve,

Fig; 2 represents a top plan view thereof, Fig; 3 represents a horizontalhsectional view on the line 3+3 of Fig. 1, v a Fig. 4 represents-a fragmentary sectional viewon the line 4-4 of Fig. 1, and

' Fig. 5 represents a detail sectional View on the line 5-5 of Fig. ,1. v s 7 Referring to the drawingin detail, wherein similar reference numerals designate cor responding parts throughout the several views, the numeral 5 indicates the cylindrical-casing of the valve, having theeXternal flange 6 at the upper open end thereof upon which is supported the top plate 7 The top plate 7 is secured in positionupon theflange' Specification of Letters Iatent.

Thelowermost valve section 1 1 is formed with an integral lug 21, which projects axially therefrom and i i s engaged by anadjustable screw 22 fitted in a plug 23 securedin an aperture formed in thebottomvof the casing-5. The screw 22 normally retainsthe Valve sections in p0: sition in thecasin'g and the loose move mentof thepvalve fsections incident to the wear of the screw 22 is compensated for by an expansion spring 241, which is confined betweenthe plug 23 andithe lowermost valve section 14; v h I; a a a A relatively stationary, circular plate 25 is fitted in a groove 26 formed in the upper openend of the casing 5 and is locked in position therein Joya-pin 27 .1 The plate 25 is iormed with a transverse passage 28' adapted tobe alined withthe ports in the several valve sections, so as to permit fluid to pass from the chamber. 19 through the
