Description

n.17.. B'ORDEN.
GAGE-coax.
lamented :une 19, 1877.
N.PETERS. PHGTUALITHQGRA UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
HENRY LEE BORDEN, OF ELGIN, ILLINOIS.
IMPROVEMENT IN GAGE-SQCKS.
Specification forming part of Lettere Patent N'o. 192,145, dated June 19, 1877 application filled February 3, 1877.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HENRY LEE BOEDEN, of Elgin, in the county of Kane and State of Illinois, have invented a new and Improved Gage-Cock, of which the following is a specication:
body of the gage-cock. The vinternal threadv and the thread of the spindle extend from the valve outward beyond the exterior of the boiler. A passage is provided in the body of the gage-cock for the escape of steam or water, which is closed by the valve.
The object of the invention is to provide a gage-cock that will not allow of the escape of hot water or steam if it should be broken off outside of the boiler-shell.
In the drawing, A is the body of the gagecock, which is bored longitudinally through its center, and threaded internally to receive the spindle B, upon which a thread is cut that fits the internal threads of the body A. The inner end a of the body is concaved to receive the convex valve C, which is attached to the end ot' the threaded portion of the spinv dle B. The outer end of the spindle B is provided With a hand-wheel, D, and is surrounded by a stalling-box, E, at the outer end of the body A.
A passage, b, runs lengthwise through the body A, the inner end of which terminates at the annular groove d cut in the valve-seat, and is closed by the valve C, and its outer end terminates in a nozzle, c. The body A is threaded externally and screwed into the boiler in the usual way.
The internal thread of the body A and the thread of the spindle B extend from the valve and valve-seat outward beyond the boilershell, so that if the gage-cock should by acci-4 dent become broken outside of the boiler-shell the valve would be undisturbed, and the accidents that usually follow the breaking of a gage-cock entirely avoided.
The valve of the cock is opened or closed by turning the screw by means of the handwheel. l The stuffing-box at the outer end of the body A is not deemed essential, as little, if any, water or steam can escape around the spindle.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A gage-cock for steam-boilers consisting of a body, A, bored longitudinally and threaded internally, and provided with the passage b and valve-seat, as described,.a threaded spindle, B, that extends through the body, and a valve, C, attached to the inner end of the said spindle, substantially as herein set forth.
