Application filed April 2, 1919. YSerial No. 286,986.
ToA @ZZ 'whom it ma/y cio/noem.'
Be it known that I, THEODOREC. Pnou'rr, a citizen of the United States, residing at Elgin, in the county of Kane and State of ,5f Illinois, have-invented certain new and useful Improvements inv Needle Valves, of which the following isa specification.
, My invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in needle valves for 1.0 valve mechanisms which are used in connection with gas supply apparatus where'deli-V cate control is desirable, particularly in connection with pulmotors and oxygenizing apparatus for aviators, and the like.
1.5 The t invention consists in the features, combinations, and details of construction hereinafter described and claimed.
In disclosing my invention, so thatthose skilledin the art may practice the same, I
; have chosen to illustrate it in combination with one type of reducing valve mechanism, such as may ybe used in connection with oxygenizing apparatus for aviators. It will be understood, however, lthat I do not desire 2(5to limit the use of rny invention to such devices, or any more than is pointed out in the accompanying claims. It is well known that in the art towhich this invention relates nearly all gases, as well 3.0 as atmospheric air, contain more or less solid materials in a finely divided state, so that when such gases are vforced through delicate valves under high pressures, or velocities, a
scoring action is likely to, and in mostcases does, take place on the tapered end of the needle valve against which end such solids arek impinged at a high velocity. Again, where oils or glycerine are present in the gas or rair a gumming action results, all of which 4.0 impair the efliciency of such valves and, in connection with oxygenizing devices ,for aviation purposes, render such valves practically useless.
Further, it will be apparent that if any moisture is present in the air or gas and the valve is used as an oxygenizing apparatus for aviators, such moisture at high altitudes would freeze and the resulting frost or ice would impede the correct operation and proper functioning of the valve with possible fatal results. In the accompanying drawings- Figure l is a sectional elevation of one type of reducing valve, showing my improved needle valve 1n operating position;
Fig. 2 is a cross sectional elevation, taken on the line 2 2 of Fig. B, showing the interioriof the valve; r v
F ig. 3 is across sectional elevation, taken on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2; and
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the jewelled needle valve.v l
tion with the reducing valve of a certain type, that is,^a'reducing,valve whichmay be used in connection with oXygenizing apparatus. The valve mechanism, generally speaking, is preferably formed of a cupshaped body portion 4, provided with a lovs7 pressure gas chamber 5. A yoke, yblockor similar element 6 is. provided `and rigidly secured tothe body portion of the valve mechanism in the gas chamber thereof by means of its threaded stems 7` and locking nuts 8.Y .Thisyoke or block to yall intents and practical purposes formsv a part of the body portion, and is provided with aninlet port 9 and an outlet lport 10, which may be connected with any desired mechanism.
VA cup-shaped cap portion 11 is provided, which has threaded engagement with, the body portion, as shown, and forms a diaphragm 12, which, in turn, is operatively connected with a valve-carrying bar 13uponr which a jewelled needle valve 14 is mounted, and by whichit is operated to open and close the valved openino 18 of the inlet porti 9. The jewelled needle valve is preferably made of sapphire, cut and ground to the desired conical shape, and forms the said controlling valve. It is mounted upon the carrying bar, so that thepdiaphragm, which forms one of the walls of said gas chamber, at normal pressure` holds said controllingl valve in its normal open position, but when subjected' to an excess of pressure it is eX- tended or expanded so as to move thejewelled needle valve through its connecting mechanism to its closed position. The valve-carrying bar may be connected directly withthe diaphragm portion, or, as shown in Fig. y3, may bev connected by means of screws 17 with a flexible disk 15, thelatter being connected by means of the threaded stem 16 with the diaphragm. y
In operation, gas under pressure, such as oxygen, is supplied from any desired source, and enters the valve mechanism through the inlet port, passing through the valve open- In disclosing my invention I have, as above stated, chosen to disclose it in connec- SKO.
ing thereof into the lovv pressure chamber. When the gas pressure exceeds a predetermined amount, say, about lifty pounds to the square inch, the diaphragm is extended to the right, and .carries lwith it the valve-carry ing bar and controlling valve, thereby closing the valve port. Such gas as may be in-the reducing chamber Will pass out through the outlet port, and When a suflicient amount has passed out therethrough the pressure therein vis reducedy or talls below a predeterminedhamount, and the diaphragm is permitted to move inwardly, or in theopposite direction to its normal position, and returns the jevvelled needle to its initial or `normal open. position. i
