GAS-LINE LOCK FOR AUTOMOBILES.
Specification of Letters Patent.
7 Patented Nov. 16, 1920.
Application filed December 8, 1919. Serial No. 343,153.
MARLEY, re-
provided with means whereby it may be locked in closed position whereby to prevent theft of an automobile.
An important and more specific object 18 the provision of a device of this character in'which the valve is of the gate type and screw operated whereby it may be moved to open or closed position, the actuating memher being operable by means of a key.
Another object is the provision of a device of this character which willbe simple and inexpensive in manufacture and installation, which may be applied at any desired point between the gas tank. and carbureter,
which will be efficient and positive in action, durable in service, and a generalimprovement in the art.
With the above and other objects andadvantages in view, the invention consists in the details of construction to be hereinafter more fully described-and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which v a Figure ljis a longitudinal sectional view through part of my device,
Fig. 2 is a longitudinal, sectional view taken on a plane parallel to Fig. 1, and
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view on a lane at right angles to that of Flg. 1.
eferring more particularly to the draw:
ing, the letter A designates a portion of the I gas line leading from the supply tank to carbureter, not shown, of an automo- 1 e. v v
In carrying out my invention I provide a valve casing 10 which is interposed and suitably connected within the gas line A and which is rovided centrally with a valve seat 11.
1 1, is a gate member 12 formed as a disk which is mounted for slidable movement in the county of' ovable within the casing; 10 and adapted to engage and close the seat any suitable manner, as by means of screw threads, with the valve casing 10 is a guide .member 15 through which the stem 14 operates and upon the upper end of which is secured, as by threading, the cylinder barrel 6 of a lock structure. Rotatable within the barrel 16 is the lock cylinder 17 having the usual key slot 18. This lockemechanism is ofcourse provided with the usual wards. The upper end of the stem 14 extends into the cylinder 17 and is formed for engagement by a suitable key 19 insertible within the slot 18 and adapted to rotate the cylinder 17. v I I The device being in position, in order to close and lock the gas line, it is merely necessary that the operator insert the key 19 within the slot 18 and give it several complete rotations in the proper direction, whereupon the consequent rotation of the stem 14 will cause movement of the gate valve 12 into engagement with its seat, cuttingofi communication with the pipe line A. It is of course obvious that when the valve is closed the automobile thus equipped cannot be stolen as there is no means for supplying gasolene, or whatever other-fuel is used, to the carbureter. When it is desired to reestablish communication it is merely necessary, that the operator reinsert the key and rotate the cylinder in the op-- posite direction whereupon the valve 12' will be disengaged from its seat.
In order to provide protection for the device I make use of a hood 20 formed as a shell threaded or otherwise secured upon the valve casing 10 and inclosing the upper portion thereof, the member 15 and the cylinder barrel 16.
While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is of course to be understood that I reserve the right to make such changes in the form, construction, and arrangement of parts as will not depart from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claim.
Having thus described my invention, I claim A device of the character described comprising a valve casing interpos'edin the gas line pipe of an automobile and provided with a valve seat, a valve slidablewithin' said casing and adapted to close said seat,
rotatably disposed within said guide member and threaded at one end for engagement Within the threaded opening in said valve member, a lock structure including a cylinder barrel casing mounted upon said guide member and having a disk-like head, a cylinder barrel rotatable Within said barrel casing and provided with a key receiving slot, the other end of said stem extending into said cylinder barrel, a key insertible in said slot to rotate said barrel and thereby to effect rotation of the stem to seat or unseat said valve, and an enlarged portion formed on said casing, and a shell threaded onto said enlarged portion and enga ing said head.
11 testlmony whereof I afiix m signature.
