assignments, to Union Carbide and Carbon Corporation, a corporation of New York Application September 4 claims.
This invention relates to cabinets, particularly those for housing cylindersof fuel gas and the mechanism associated with such cylinders whereby gas Vis alternately delivered at a regulated 5 pressure from 1 pipe. More specifically, the invention relates to a novel means whereby the change-over and pressure` regulating devices may be more easm ily and quickly mounted on and removed from the rear wall of the cabinet.
The cabinets heretofore in use have been built to house two upright cylinders of fuel gas, and the change-over and pressure regulating devices have occupied space between and above the cyl-A inders. Before or at the time'the cabinet was installed, these devices were secured to the rear wall of the cabinet, sure regulator to the cabinet wall by means of bolts or screws. At times it is advisable or necessary to remove these devices for inspection or Y repair, or to substitute a diiierent'pressure regulator, and in some instances to mount'the devices in a diierent position in the cabinet.
Therefore, one object'of this invention is to provide a novel means for quickly mounting a pressure regulator on a fuel gas cabinet withoutthe use of any tools whatever, so that it is firmly secured thereto, and may also be quickly andeasily removed. 39 other aims, obieets, and novel feanues wm appear in the following specication and the accom l drawings, in which Fig. l is a front view of a cabinet embodying this invention 'with the doors thereof open to tor, the changeover device, and accessory parts'mounted therein;A x

Fig. 8 is a sectional view` along line 8-8 of. Fig. 7 showing the means for securing the mount-, ing plate to the cabinet. Y '5 The broad idea of my invention comprises providing a fuel gas cabinet and a fluid pressure regulator withintertting parts so. constructed and arranged that the pressurel regulator may be assembled to the fuel gas cabinet quickly and 1 easily without the use of any tools whatever.
One example of the application of `my invention is shown in the accompanying drawings wherein a fuel gas cabinet In, constructed chieily 'orrentirely of sheet metal, is provided with a 15 I let conduit I1. Each-'of the leads I6 is provided to cylinders A and B of liquefied or compressed 25 fuel gas. Only one cylinder is'ordinarily in service at a time, the other being keptin reserve, so that when one cylinder becomes empty, the changeover valves It may be operated, closing the lead I6 from lthe empty cylinder and opening the 30 lead I6 connected with the full cylinder, after which the empty cylinder may be replaced.
The lugs II, as hown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3 are sheared from the rear wall oi the cabinet I0 in the area .between the cylinders A and B and 35 pressed'inward far enough to extend some distance through suitable openings, slots, or recesses Il in the mounting bracket l2, as shown in Figs.` 3
" and 4. Any suitable number of these lugs Il may be provided, such as illustration and they may be arranged in any suitable way such as in aligned groups o! two or. more. The mounting bracket i2 is provided with two associated openings I9 in each corner thereof adapted to nt around the lugs II which 45 project inward therethrough. The lugs are preferably of substantially the same size as the open.- ings and when the regulator is mounted on the vlugs the upperedges of the openings rest on the upper edges of the lugs. When assembled'the 50 mounting bracket may be securedv to the lugs `Il by any suitable means or retainers, suchas pins 20 that are inserted or passed vertically behind or through the lugs I I and in front of the mounting bracket lz. Four attaching pms ze may be em'- 55 eight shown in the 40 I ployed, or one pin may be used for each group `of aligned lugs at each side of the mounting bracket. as shown in Fig. 1. When in place the pins hold y the bracket rmly against the wall of the cabinet so that the regulator and associated devices are secured against movement or displacement.
The mounting bracket I2 is provided with a vided with openings 23 by which a pressure regulator I3 may be attached thereto by means of bolts 24. This mounting bracket may vary in form according tothe type of 'regulator employed and the means for mounting it upon the plate.
Also the mounting bracket I2 may be an integral part of the regulator I3 as shown in'Fig. 6. Fur.- thermore, the regulator I3 may be provided with feet having openings I 9 therein; or the mounting bracket- I2 may be of skeleton construction.
common to both mounting positions.
'Ihe mounting bracket I2, regulator I 3, valves I 4, gauge I5, and leads I6 are ordinarily shipped securely attached to the cabinet until it is manually removed, which operation may be performed with equal facility to that of attaching.
While a preferred embodiment of my invention part of the lugs maybe has been yillustrated and described, it will be understood that the lugs Il maybe of a diiierent iorm from that shown land the means for mounting bracket form thereto. Also, other means for holding the bracket to the cabinet may be substituted for the pins 20. This and otherchanges may be-made without departing from the range of the invention or the scope of the claims.
I Claimfll 1. In a cabinet adapted to house two fuel gas cylinders in upright position and spaced apart; the combination of means' for mounting a pressaid lugs to hold said slots and said lugs in intertting relation and said bracket on said wall.
2. In a cabinet for fuel gas cylinders, a pluralty of lugs carried by said cabinet; a bracket ulator to said cabinet.
3. In a sheet metal cabinet for fuel gas cylinders, a plurality of groups of Avertically aligned inwardly extending V-shaped integral lugs formed in the lrear wallV thereof a bracket for a pressure regulator having a plurality of groups of similarly spaced vertical rows of lugs on said wall between the cylinders and projecting through said rows of slots, respectively; and two pins sevand removable through the space between the cylinders without disturbing the latter.
