In the particular Constr t tion illustrated, 11 representsthe bottom' sheet "ofv a tank car i containing an c outletfo'peni'ng 12. Fitting flatwise; at its upper surface against the un: derside ofthe bottom sheet 11 to extendl across the opening'lQ, isk a'tank outlet member 18 mitre'formand with whichcooperates the valve Hproper 16 of valve mechanism provided for the purpose of controlling the How of material from the tank through the outlet fof the latter.` n n l 4Theyalve properfl isshown vas provided with a peripheral mitrezd seating'surface 17 at which it is adapted to engagelwith the seat t 15 and is formed with depending guidewin'gs i 18 `which extendinto'th'e `boreiofthe)leg 13.
'The `upper end portion `of the valve properv 16 contains an vupwardly opening, transversely disposed, groove 19'the-b'otton1 surface Yof which is preferably rounded as 'represented at 20. The upperportion `of the groove '19 is 1 restricted as represented at 21an`d provides the parallel 'shoulder' surfaces '22.r
shown as in the forinof anoutlet-"leg riveted 30 Rising from, and rigidly secured to, the leg 13 within the confines of the opening 12, is a series of screw bolts 23, forming studs, four of these studs arranged in a rectangular formation comprising the series in the particular construction shown, though the number and arrangement thereof may be varied as desired, these studs screwing into upwardly-opening threaded sockets in the leg 13l and represented at 24. The studs 23 serve as a support for a nut 25 shown as of spider form, this nut containing openings 26 at its marginal edge portion to receive the upper ends of the studs 23 provided with nuts 27 between which and shoulders. 28 on the studs 23, the nut 25 is firmly clamped in position.
Screwing in the hub portion 29 is a threaded rod 30, forming a valve stem to the upper end of which the lower end of an operating rod 31 is connected. The rod 31 which would` extend at its hand-wheel-equipped portion 32 to a point accessible for rotation by the operator in accordance with well known practice, is shown asjournalled in a bracket 33 secured to a side wall 34 of the tank, the lower end of this rod being shown as formed with a downwardly-opening socket portion 35 into which the upper end of the threaded stem 30 extends and to which it is secured as for eX- ample by a Cotter-pin 36 extending through the socket portion 35 and the upper end of the stem 30.
The lower end portion of the valve stemv 30 extends intorthe groove 19 in the valve proper 16, and is shown as comprising a head 37iwith its undersurface of general spherical form as represented at 38, this head being of greater width than the width of the restricted portion 21 of the groove 19. The valve stem 30 is formed with a neck portion 39 between the head 37 and the body portion,
of the stem 30, this neck portion, which extends into the restricted portion 21 of the groove 19, being of greater length than the height of this restricted portion, as shown. The neck portion 39 comprises the flat sided i elongated portion 40 adjacent the head 37 and the cylindrical portion 41 ofa diameter slightly less than the width of the restricted portion 21 of the groove 19, and of a length s slightly greater than the thickness of the walls of the portion 21.
Assuming that the valve is in open condition in which condition the valve proper 16 dependingly hangs from the valve stem 30 by 1 the engagement of the walls forming the restriction 21 of the groove 19, with the upper surface of the head 37 of the stem; the operator, to close the valve, rotates the stem 30 in clockwise direction in Fig. 3, the valve proper 16 lowering with the stem until the valve proper engages at its portion 17 with the valve seat 15. In this lowering operation as stated the elongated portion 40 of the neck of the valve stem extends into the restricted portion 21 of the groove 19 thereby forming an interlock between the valve proper 16 and the stem so that the valve proper 16 is rot-ating as it engages the seat 1 5, and it continues to rotate against this seat until the portion 40 of the stem, in the continued rotation of the latter, Amoves downwardly out of the restricted portion 21 of the groove which occurs in the particular construction shown immediately preceding the forcing of the valve proper 16 against the seat 15vf-or forming the desired tight closure which is effected, in the parti-cular arrangement shown, by the forcing of the head 37 downwardly against the bottom wall of the groove 19, in the continued rotation of the valve stem 30, it being noted that by the time the valve stem 30 has moved downwardly to a. position in which it starts to force the valve proper 16 against the seat 15,'the cylindrical portion 41 of the valve stem 30 is the only portion of the latter whichextends into the restricted portion 21 of thev groove, which permits the stem to rotate without rotating the valvefproper 16. n
In the opening of the valve, by rotation of the stem in counterclockwise direction in F ig. 3, the stem 30 rotates independently of the valve proper 16 to a point where downward pressure by` the stem on the valve, is released. By this time thel elongated portion l0 of the stem will enter the restricted portion 21 of the groove forming an interlock therewith for rotating the valve proper 16 on the seat'15, under the weight of the valve. proper 16, until the-stem 30 has been rotated sufiiciently far to lift the valve proper 16 from the seat 15 by engagement of the head 37 with the side walls of the restrictedportion 21 of the groove, whereupon the valve proper 16 will move bodily upward with the stem I30. y
It will beunderstood-fromthe foregoing that a valve structure constructed in accordancev with my invention provides for the automatic grinding in of the valve proper and the seat cooperating therewith under relatively light pressure uniformly applied, as distinguished fromwthe non-uniform pressure which is produced'where the valve is caused to rotate against its seat during the final seating of the valve.
Furthermore, by reason of the provision of the drive` connection between the stem andl the valve proper Aas shown and described the final seating of the valve is not consecutively in the same position which is of great ad-Y vantage as thereby wear of the valve and seat at one point of contactis avoided and instead the wear of the valve and seat is caused to be substantially uniform and consequentlv s said seat.
there is a uniform distribution of wear which makes for the production of better joints.
Another advantage of my improved construction consists in the ease lwith which the valve proper may be ground in if desired, as for example by a prolonged rotation of the valve proper on its seat. By slightly backing oli the stein to relieve the pressure of the latter against the valve proper 1G tending to force it to the seat the valve proper may be freely rotated on the seat-l5 by hand or by any desired mechanical `contrivance. The further backing off of the stem 30 to a position in which the elongated portion Ll-G of ther stein extendsinto the restricted portion 2l of the groove, permits the valve proper 16 to be rotated on its seat merely by rotating the stem 30l as through the means of the rod 3l or a wrench, or other means for rotating the valve through the medium of the stein, appliedy to the latter after disconnecting the rod 31 therefrom; A
It will also be noted that'a valve structure constructed as shown and involving the studs 23 disposed in the arrangementas shown for supporting the nut 25 permits of the grinding in of the valve seat, even when a grinding compound is to be'supplied to these parts, without requiring the disassembling of the parts of the valve.
kWhile I have illustrated and described a particular construction embodying my invention, I do not wish t-o be understood as intending` to limit it thereto as the saine may be variously modified and alteredwithout departing from the spirit of my invention.
"What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
