UNITED STATES PATENT CHRISTOPHER M. BRIDGES, OF LEON, IOWA, ASSIGNOR TO HIMSELF AN CREED BOBBITT, OF SAME PLACE.
IMPROVEMENT IN FEED-WATER REGULATORS- Specification forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 167,639, dated September 14, 1875; application filed August 6, 1875.
To all whom it may concern:
- Be it known that I, CHRISTOPHER M. BRIDGES, of Leon, Decatur county, Iowa, have invented a new and Improved Boiler Feed-Regulator, of which the 'following' is a specification V My invention consists of a float in a chamber connected to the boiler at the water-level, to rise'when the water fills the chamber, and open a passage from the chamber containing the float to the pump, and allow the boiler pressure to close the check-valve in the supply-pipe from the tank, and so that a circulation of the hot water of the boiler will be maintained through the pump as long as the Water in the boiler is high enough to keep the chamber full and the float up; but when the water falls in the boiler below the connection with the chamber the pump will exhaust the chamber, and the float will fall and close the passage from the float-chamber,when the checkvalve, being relieved of the boiler pressure, will open, thus making an automatic regulator, and at the same time facilitating the circulation of the water, so that steam makes faster and more economically.
Figure I is partly a side elevation and partly a sectional elevation, and Fig. 2 is a transverse section.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
A is the boiler. B is the float-chamber; O, the pipe connecting the float-chamber with the boiler at the water-line; D, the float in the chamber; E, the pipe connecting the floatchamber at the bottom with the pipe E, which connects the feed-tank .G with the pump H, and I is a valve contrived to open connection of the floatfchamber with the pump, when the float rises, and close it when the float falls. The pipe F will have a'oheok-valve to be closed by steam-pressure when the valve I opens.
. Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent-- The float-chamber B, float D, passage E, and a valve, I, combined with the boiler and the pump, in the manner described, to open a circulating-passage through the boiler and feed-pump when the float rises, and close it when the float falls, substantially as specified.
