Description

G. F. PIKE. Steam-Traps;
No. 196,764. Patented Nov. 6, I877.
NITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
CHARLES F. PIKE, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
IMPROVEMENT |N STEAM-TRAPS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 196,764, dated November 6, 1877 application filed June 30, 1877.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHAS. F. PIKE, .of Phil- Fig. 2 is a modification of the small curved bar d.
a is a tube. 1) b are supports. a 0, Figs. 1 and 2, are curved bars. d is a small curved bar. 0 0, Figs. 1 and 2, are connecting-pieces. f is a rod to communicate motion to a valve on the lower end of the tube a. h, Fig. 2, is the same asf, Fig. 1.
The supports 1) b are secured upon the ends of the tube a. The curved bars 0 c are fastened to the supports b b. Then, by means of the connecting-pieces e e, the small curved bar d is held firmly in place. On the lower end of the tube a is placed a valve of any desired construct-ion. The steam enters the tube a at 4 its upper end, heating and expanding the tube. This carries the ends of the bars 0 c from each other, causing the centers of the bars to move toward the tube a. This movement of the centers of the bars 0 0 brings the ends of the small curved bar 61 nearer together, causing it to move the rodf. The rod f,being-connected to a valve on the end of the tube a, its motion closes it. When the water caused by condensation fills the tube a it cools and contracts.
it, reversing the operation above described, opening the valve, allowing the water to escape. This operation is repeated automatically.
The bar d can be fastened to the bars 0 c in various ways.
The small curved bar 01, instead of being made in one piece and sprung in its center by the motion of the curved bars 0 0, can be constructed asshown in Fig. 2 at g g.
What I claim is The combination of the tube at, having longitudinal bars'c 0 attached thereto, and curved bar (I, provided with a rod for communicating motion to a valve, as and for the purpose specified.
