IMPROVEMENT m VENTlLATOR-REGlS T ERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 154,387, dated August 25, 1874; application filed August 1, 1874.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY A. GOUGE, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Ventilator-Register, of which the followingis a specification:
Figure 1 is a front view of my improved register, showing in dotted lines the position of the openings, the valve, and the posts. Fig. 2 is a detail vertical section of the same, taken through the line 00 m, Fig. 1.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts My invention has for its object to furnish an improved ventilator-register, which will allow the air to enter the ventilating-flue in a body, instead of being broken up into small streams, as is the case when the ordinary register is used, so that it may enter the flue in a compact current.
The invention consists in the combination of the posts having a right screw-thread upon one end, and a left screw-thread upon the other end, the nuts at each end, and the locknuts, with the front plate, and the flue, provided with a weighted valve and a balancecord, as hereinafter fully described.
A is a branch flue leading into the main flue, and which is designed to be set in the wall, or otherwise secured to said flue. The outer end of the flue A is provided with a narrow outwardlyprojecting flange, a, to overlap the wall around the opening in which said flue A is set. B is the front plate of the register, which is made without any opening throughjit, and the outer surface of which may be made plain, or may be ornamented, if desired. 0 are four posts, which have right screw-threads out upon one end, and left screw-threads out upon their other ends. The outer ends of the posts 0 screw into nuts or short bars c,secured to the front plate B, which plate may be made double, to cover and conceal the bars or nuts 0 The inner ends of the posts 0 pass through holes in the flange a of the flue A, and screw into nuts 0 placed upon the inner side of said flange a, and kept from turning by resting against the side of the flue A, or by other convenient means. The inner ends of the posts 0 should have slight heads formed upon them to guard against their being accidentally screwed out of the nuts 0 Upon the posts 0, upon the outer or forward side of the flange a, are placed lock-nuts 0 which, by being turned up against the flange a, prevent the posts 0 from getting out of place when adjusted. D is the valve, which is hinged at its lower edge to the lower side of the flue A, and to the inner side of its upper part is attached a weight, d to lower the said valve when released. The valve D may be provided with small springs d to prevent it from being drawn so far forward that the weight (1 will not open it. 7
The same thing maybe accomplished by making the valve seat with a slight inward inclination.
To the upper part of the valve D is attached a cord, E, which passes through a guide-eye, or over a guide-pulley, F, attached tothe upper part of the inner side of the frontv plate B, The cord E extends downward, and hangs in such a position thatit may be conveniently reached to adjust the valve D. To the lower end of the cord E is attached a weight or a weighted tassel, e, to balance the weighted valve D d so that the said valve will stay in any position into which it may be adjusted.
If desired, the lower end of the cord E may be secured to a belaying-cleat or other convenient device. The flue A is built into or otherwise secured to the wall or main flue with the posts 0 attached to it.
To attach the front plate B, the posts 0 are screwed out as far as possible, and the said plate B placed upon their outer ends. Then, by turning the posts 0, they will be screwed at the same time into the nuts 0 0 When the plate B is brought to the desired distance from the mouth of the flue A, the lock-nuts c are turned up and the plate is locked in place. By this construction, by loosening the locknuts 0 and turning the posts 0, the front plate B may, at any time, be adjusted at .any desired: distance from the-mouth of the Having thus described my inven tion,l claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination of the posts 0, having a right screw-thread upon one end, and a left screw-thread upon the other end, the
nuts c 0 and the lock-nuts 0 with the front plate B, and the -fiue A, provided with a Weighted valve, D d, and a balance-cord,
E" e, substantially as herein shown and described.
