This inventionrelates to improvements in damper apparatus and 1s dlrected more particularly to apparatus for operating flue 1 ferred and which for purposes of disclosure is shown in thej'accompanying drawing, in which:
" Fig. ,1- a front elevationallview of the "lever operating'means'forming a part ofthe invention;
'Fig. 2 is a partial sectional elevational view through a flue and showing certain details of construction. q
Fig. 3 is a rear elevational view of a housing forming part of the invention. I
Fig. 4 is a small scale plan view of a plate for retaining the operating leverin place, and V .Fig. 5 is a smallscale perspective view of the hub portion of the operating lever showin'gcertain details of construction. L V eferring to the drawing, the invention will now be described ind'etaily r I flue or air duct is represented at 2, which in ordinary practise is run along awall or between wall forming sections so as to. be concealed. In. the form offlthe invention shown the flue ,is disposed at one side' ofa wall or partition- W and may be an airduct "through which it is desiredto cont rol" the flowof air by a damper 4 which is shown as being in an open position. When closed it will assume a substantially. horizontal position.
The damper may take any well known form and has onits opposite sides trunnion blocks 6 and 8 which have trunnions' 10 as @345 shown on the block 6'extending'therefrom."
I "A housing 12 as shown in Figs. 2andl3is secured :to the flue by any suitable means. The housing comprisesfa hollow body 16 7 anda cover-plate '18 secured thereto. Lugs 20 extending from the body are secured to :thefflue in the embodiment of theinvention shown.
A socketmember 24 is provided withian,
outer raceway and'is mountedfor} rotation by means of balls 26 inthe housing as shown.
The cover plate 18 of the housing has anIoutwardly projecting hub or boss .19 ,whichQis interiorly threaded for receiving 'athreaded end of a'tube 28 which may' be offany desired length for extending through the wall Was shown. I i
tion of the spring which of course tends to urge the damper in a clockwisejdirection. I
A wall plate 44 is provided for securingto the face of a wall bymeans of screws 46 and has an internally threade'dboss or hub 45 so that it may be'screwed onto an outer threaded end of tube 28. When screwed onto I i the tube the screws 46 arefs'crewed intofthe no Lil wall and the wall plate is held thereby against rotation.- c
A retaining plate 48 is removably secured to thewall plate by screws 50 in suitable 5 tapped holes in the wall plate and this has a central opening 50 with an inwardly extendiilg lip 52; An operating lever 54 has a cylindrical hub or shaft 56 provided with a cut-away portion 58 longitudinally thereof and a peripheral groove 60, While a squared portion 62 extends from the end thereof and is receivable inthe outer end of the square shaft30.' i
The lever 54: and'plate' 48 are assembled by slipping the hub of the lever throughthe Opening of herlate :This may hastens rotating one or the other so that the lip 52 of the plate passes through the cutawayipori tion- 58 of the until the lip 52 registers with the groove 60 ofthe hub-when th plate and handle Inay herotated relative to one 1.} ,thr-, r' v r ftion of the d mper and swings in a clockwise pnWhieh the damperclose s.
