JOHN S. AFFLECK, OF BROOKLYN, (GREEN POINT STATION,) NEW YORK.
PACKING-RING FOR BOILER-TUBES.
sPEcIFrcAmroNforming parc of Letters Patent No. 229,070, dated June 22, 1880. Application led December 26, 1879.
To all whom 'it may concern: V
Be it known that I, JOHN-S. AFFLECK, of Brooklyn, (Green Point Station,) in the county of Kings and' State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Metallic Packing-Rings for the Joints of Tubular Boilers, of which the following is a specification.
Figure l is a sectional view of the improvement shown as applied to a tube-connection. Fig. 2 is a side view of one of the packingrings. Fig. 3 is a cross-section taken through the line x Fig. 2.
Similar letters of reference indicate correspondin g parts.
The object of this invention is to furnish packing-rings so constructed that they Will adj ust themselves to any imperfections in their seats, and will melt should the boiler become i unduly heated.
I will describe the improvement as applied to the tube-connections of a Roots tubular boiler7 but do not wish to limit myself to that application, as my improvement may be used with advantage. in various other places.
A represents a boiler-tube connection, the rims B of which are connected with apertures in the boiler end plates, attached to the ends of the tubes. .Around the rim B is formed a ange or shoulder, C, the face of which is grooved or recessed to receive the packingring.
D is the body of the packing-ring, which is interposed between the recessed shoulder C and a corresponding recess in the end plate. The packing-ring D is made of a soft metal, and has V-shaped lips E formed upon its opposite sides. With this construction, when the connection A is secured in place, the ribs E, being made thin,- will yield to any roughness in the seats, and will be pressed into any depressions in the said seats, so as to make a close joint.
With this packing, should the water get low in the boiler and the boiler become unduly heated, the packing-rings will melt and allow steam to. escape and give warning before the overheating has reached a dangerous point.
I am aware that soft metal has been heretofore used in packing-rings; but
What I claim as new and of my invention is- A soft-metal packing-ring having a body, D, provided with a lip, E, on each side, in combination With a boiler-tube connection having a rim, B, with the grooved an ge G, as and for the purpose specied.
JOHN S. AFFLECK.
