Application filedMarch '2, 1917. Serial No. 152,162.
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, CHARLES M. SWINGLE, a citizen of the United "States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahogaand State of Ohio, have invented a new and use ful Cut-OE Valve, of which the following is a specification.
One object of the present invention is to provide an exhaust pipe for an engine, carrying a valve which is controlled by a permutation mechanism. 7
Another object of the invention is to improve the permutation mechanism per 36.
Another object of the invention is to provide novel means whereby, at the will of an operator, an audible signal will be given when the exhaust traverses the exhaust pipe.
A further obj ect of the invention is to provide a novel means whereby the owner of an automobile will be warned when his machine is being tampered with.
It is within the province of the disclosure to improve generally and to enhance the utility of devices of that type to which the present invention appertains.
With the above and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and ar'rangementof parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 shows in section, a device con structed in accordance with the invention, the cutting plane of Fig. 1 being designated by the line 11 in Fig. v2;
Fig. 2 is a section taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a top plan wherein the lid is open;
Fig. 4 is a section showing a modification; and
F ig. 5 is a fragmental section of the structure shown in Fig. 4, the parts having been shifted from the positions of Fig. 4.
In carrying out the invention as shown in Figs, 1 to 3, there is provided a fixed plate 1 having a marginal flange 2. Upon its inner side, the fixed plate 1 is provided, near to its periphery, with a rib 3. On the inner side of the fixed plate 1 near to the center thereof there is a small rib 4, the ribs 3 and 4 being of annular configuration. There is an opening 5 in the center of the fixed plate 1. The fixed plate 1 has an eccentrically disposed opening 6 adapted to receive one part 7 of the exhaust pipe of an internal combustion engine.
The invention comprises a fixed plate 8 having a marginal flange 9. On the inner side of the fixed plate 8 near to its periphery there is formed an annular recess 10. On the inner side of the fixed plate 8 there is a smaller annular recess 11. The fixed plate 8 has a central opening 12, and in the exterior face of the plate 8, about theopening 12, a polygonal seat 14 is fashioned. The plate 8 has an eccentric opening 15. concentric with the opening '6 in theplate 1, and adapted to receive a part 16 of the exhaust pipe. The plates 1 and 8 are united by a shaft in the form of a bolt 17 which holds the flanges 2 and 9 of the respective plates in abutment, as shown at '18. The bolt 17 has a head 19 received against rotation in the seat 14 of the plate 8, the bolt 17 passing through the opening 5 of the fixed plate 1. In the end of theholt 17 there is formed an opening 20. The bolt 17 is split at its end as shown at 21, so that said end of the bolt may be jyieldable.
Threaded in the opening 20 is a tapered screw 22 which expands the split end of the bolt and causes the same to grip the plate 1 about the periphery of the opening 5 therein.
The flanges 2 and 9 or the plates are cut away to form an aperture 23. Disposed on the flanges 2 and 9 at one end of the aperture 23 are spaced lugs 24 in which is pivoted an extension 25 at one end of a closure 26, the under side of the clos'ur'e 26 being equipped with a transverse rib 27 Disposed on the flanges 2 and 9 arelugs 28 which are located close together. The closure 26 has fingers 29 extended along opposite sides of the lugs 28. The lugs 28 are provided with openings adapted to receive a padlock 30, so that the lid or closure 26 may be held in a closed position.
Disposed between the plates 1 and 8 and journaled on the bolt 17 are permutation disks 31. Each disk 31is provided on one side with an annular rib 32 and upon the opposite side of each disk there is an annular recess 33 adapted to receive the rib 32,
on anadjoining plate. Each disk 31 has, also, a large annular rib 34 located on one face of the disk and adapted-to be received in a similarly shaped recess 35 011 the opposite face of the next disk. The rib 32 on the outermost disk is received in the recess 11 of the plate 8, the rib 34 on the said disk being received in the recess 10, the rib 4 on the other fixed plate 1 being received in the recess 33 of the other end disk, and the rib 3 on the plate 1 being received in the recess 35 of the said disk. The disks 31 are provided with openings 36 adapted to be disposed in coaxial relation to each other and in coaxial relation to the openings 6 and 15 in the fixed plates. The peripheries of the disks 31 are provided with notches 37 Numerals 38 are inscribed on the edges of the disks. These numerals38 are adapted to be alined with marks 39 formed on the end plates 1 and 8 on opposite sides of the aperture 23. c
In practical operation, the disks 31 may be manipulated by a suitable wrench (not shown), the wrench, coiiperating with the notches 37 in the disks. When a predetermined set of numerals 38 is lined up with the marks 39, then the openings 36 in the disks will be alined coaxially with the openings 6 and 15 in the fixed plates 1 and 8 respectively, and the exhaust can traverse the conduit '167. By a suitable manipulation of one or more of the disks 38, some or all of the openings 36 in the disks may be disposed out of alinement, and thenthe exhaust cannot traverse the pipes 7 and 16. It is to be observed that when the closure 26 is swung down onto the case comprising the plates 1 and 8, the transverse rib 27' on the closure will be engaged in certain of the notches 37 in the peripheries of the disks 31.
.ing closed.
A thin layer of graphite or other suitable substance, may be interposed between the ribs and the grooves of the various disks 31, and between the end disks on the plates 1 and 8, so that the structure will be gas-tight,
to an extent sufficient to make it operate.
In Figs. 4 and 5, a modified form of the invention hasbeen shown. 1
In the said figures, one end plate is denoted by the numeral 40, the flange of said plate being indicated by the reference character 41, and being provided with an aperture 42 corresponding to the aperture 23. An exhaust pipe is shown at 43. The plate 40 has a slot 44 therethrough. orient the permutation disks is shown at 45. In addition, a disk 46 is disposed adjacent the plate 40. The disk- 46 has a projection 47 carrying a finger piece 48 moving in the aperture 42. The disk 46 is provided with an opening 49 adapted to be alined with the exhaust pipe 43. On each side of the projection 47, the disk 46 hasnotches 50. At the bases of the notches 50, recesses 51 are formed in the disk 46. Reeds 52 are secured to the periphery of the disk 46 at the bases of the notches 50 and coiiperate with the recesses 51.
Let is be supposed that thepermutation' 7 disk 45 has been so disposed that the exhaust cannot pass through the structure from one end thereofto the other. Let it be supposed, further, thatthe disk 46 has 7 been rotated by means of the finger piece 48 until the finger piece 48 abuts against the flange 41 at either end of the aperture 42. Then one of the recesses 51 in the disk will be lined up with'the exhaust pipe 43. Under such circumstances, the exhaust from the engine, entering the pipe 43 will traverse the recess 51, actuate the reed 52, traverse one notch 50, and pass out of the slot 44 in the I end plate 40. The construction is such that an outlet for the exhaust is provided, preventing a bursting of the exhaust pipe, but,
. at the same time, an audible signal is given,
served that the finger piece 48 is provided with a notch 53 adapted to receive a rib' 100 on the closurelOl. The structure shownin Figs. 4 and 5 is the same as that described originally, savingfor the fact that the end plate40 has a slot 44, the disk 46 being added. e 7
Although the structure hereinbei'ore described is of peculiar utility on the exhaust pipe of an engine,'the form shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 may be put on the supply pipe of the engine or elsewhere if desire Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is 1 In a device of the class described, a casing-having ports and provided with an aperture in its periphery; permutation disks journaled in the casing and accessible through the aperture, for rotation, the disks having port's adapted to be alined with the ports of the casing; and a lid constituting a closure for the aperture and a protector for the disks, the lid and the permutation disks having interlocking elements, coacting when the lid is closed, to hold the disks in ad justed positions and against rotation.
2. In a device of the class described, a
easing having ports; permutation disksjournaled in the casing and having ports adapted to be alined With the ports of the casing; and another disk journaled in the casing said other disk having a port adapted to be alined With the ports of the casing said other disk having an audible signal which is movable With said disk into operative rela tion With one of the ports of the casing, the
10 casing having an outlet opening for the exhaust, after the exhaust has actuated the signal.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aflixed my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
