Description

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.-
EEWIN F. BROOKS, OF BALTIMORE, MARYLAND, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF HIS RIGHT TO CHARLES E. SEAL, OF SAME PLACE.
IMPROVEMEN TJN COUPLlNG-THIMBLES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 150,517, dated May 5, 1874; application filed March 17, 1874.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDW'IN F. BROOKS, of
'the city of Baltimore, State of Maryland, have provided with two or'more small perforations,
and to it is pivoted a disk correspondingly perforated, the object being, by means of the pivoted disk, to accommodate the number of the open perforations to the requirements of the consumption in the building in which the stop-valve is used, and so prevent the waste which is ordinarily consequent upon unnecessary pressure in the distributing-pipes.
1n the drawings, Figure l is a central longitudinal section of my invention. Fig. 2 is an end view of the same, and Fig. 3 is an end view with the pivoted disk removed.
The same letter of reference is used in the various figures to indicate like parts.
a is the body of the eoupling-thimble, consistin g of an ordinary coupling portion, a, internally threaded to receive a pipe end, and a screw portion, 1), to connect with an ordinary pt pe-couplin g. The latter portion of the thiinble is provided with a coniform chamber, b,
closed at its outer end, and provided with two or more small perforations arranged in the are of a circle. Externally, this end is turned or channeled to seat the disk d, centrally pivoted, and provided with a series of perforations corresponding with those in the thimble. By turning this disk in either direction, the holes, or any of them, can be opened or closed, and the proper number to supply the demands of the house fixed.
This invention is particularly adapted and designed for use in gas-pipe, and will save the pipes from unnecessary pressure, and incidentally relieve the meter from its tendency to register more than has been consumed.
I claim as my invention-- l 1. A connecting-thimble, to be interposed between two sections of pipe, provided with an adjustable stop-valve,for the purpose speci- 2. The connecting-thimble a, provided with a coniform chamber, b, perforations e, and pivoted disk stop-valve d, substantially as described.
EDWIN F. BROOKS.
