Claims. (Cl, 18S-e536) This invention relates to hydraulic variable retarding devices, as cylinder and; piston dash pots, and has for its object a check and control valve assembly in the piston forcontrolling the flow of fluid through luy-passes from oneA side of the piston to the othertside, whichasseinbly is Dalfticularlyl simple and compact.
The invention consists in the novel features and in the combinatioris and constructions hereinafterset forth and claimed.
In describing this invention, reference is had to the accompanying drawings in which like characters designate corresponding` parts in all the views.
Figure 1 isaside elevation, partly broken` away, of a cylinderand piston retarding device or` dash pot embodying this invention.
Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view taken centrally of ligure` 1.
Figure 3 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional View ofthe piston construction showing the check valve and the throttle valve controlling the` flow of iluid through the by-pass from one end of the cylinder to the other when the valves are in normal or` starting position` Figure 4 is a view, similar to Figure 3, showing the position of the valvesV when in fully operated position.
The invention resides in the piston having a by-pass extending lengthwise thereofand opening through the opposite ends or pressure faces thereof, a check valve` in the by-pass to check the flow of fluid in one direction, Vasecond bypass around the check valve, a self-opening throttle valve in the piston and also an operating member in the piston` operable to progressively close the second lay-pass, and means for operating the throttle valve from outside of the cylinder and piston.
One of the features of the invention is the throttle valve mounted to shift axially in a passage in the check valve, the throttle valve beiner formed with a second by-pass leading from the rst by-pass through the outer end or the throttle valve and opening into the cylinder.
The Construction here ShQWn is intended primarily to eontrolthe operation of the knee lock of an artificial leg and operable by the action of the stump of the natural leg in the socket of the artificial leg, or by the contraction and relaxation of thigh muscles, such as the quadriceps tendon, as in my application, Sr. No. 779,011, filed October 10, 1947, now Patent No. 2,568,051, issuedv September 18, 1951.
I and 2 designate respectively the cylinder and piston of a hydraulic retarding device or double 2. acting dash pot, these having relative axial movement, the cylinder I having a bracket 3 at its lower end forconnection to a` iixed point, and the piston 2 having a rod 4 provided with a coupling 5 for pivotal connection to a bracket at the lower end of the socket` of` the leg, the
`pivotal connection being eccentric to the axis `the bore of the cylinder and a reduced portion 8 at one side, as the upper side of the intermediate portion, the reduced portion 8 being spaced from the Walls of the cylinderl providing an annular space 9. The piston is shown as also having a depending portion In on the other side or below the intermediate portion 6. The body and its reduced portions are formed` with an axial bore opening through the lower edge of the reduced portion III and terminating short of the upper end or the body 2, providing a head at II from which the piston rod 4 projects, the bore I2 of the piston rod opening into the bore of the piston body.
I3` designates a cage or casing iitted at one end, as the upper end, into the upper end of the bore of the piston body and depending` into the bore of the piston body but spaced apart at I4 from the wall of the bore to provide an annular chamber,
I5 designates a plug or second casing threading intothe lower endof the piston body and teleseoping on the lower end of the cage I3. Radial ports I6 in the piston body 6 connect the annular spaces 9 and I4 and radial ports I'I con- -nect the radial spaces I4 and the internal chamber i8 in the plug`l5. These spaces 9, I ii, and radial portsn I6, I1, form a by-pass from one end of the'cylinder to the other. The chamber I8 opensthrough the outer end, that is the lower end of the plug I5.
20 designates a'uid pressure operated check valve located to check the ilow of iiuid in one direction, as downwardly, from above the piston through the lower end thereof, this being shown as semi-spherical and coacting with a .seat at 2I on the walls of the chamber I8 where it opens through the lower end of the plug I5.
22 designates the throttlevalve, this being slid- `any suitable manner.
able through a passage at 23 in the check valve, it having an axial bore 24 opening through its lower end and laterally extending ports 25 opening through the periphery thereof and normally opening into the chamber I8. The throttle valve is normally in the position shown in Figure 3, and is shiftable downwardly so that the ports 25 are covered or cut oif` progressively. The throttle valve is also provided with a head 26 seating on the check valve when the throttle valve is fully closed and thus holding the check valve closed. The passage 24 and radial ports 25 constitute a second by-pass around the check valve. The throttle valve may be actuated in It is here shown as self opening and actuated hydraulically to closed position by a piston or plunger 28 in the upper portion of the bore of the casing-I3 and pressed upwardly by a spring 29. The casing communicates with the passage of the piston rod 4, previously referred to, so that any pressure created by the action of the thigh muscles is transferred to the plunger 28 when this device is embodied in a knee lock mechanism of an artificial leg. When actuated, the plunger 28 is pressed downwardly and through a coupling 30 actuates the throttle valve towards closed position an amount corresponding to the tension or relaxation of the thigh muscles.
In order to adjust the effective cross sectional area of the by-pass, a gate 3| in the form of a sleeve threads on the upper reduced portion of the body 6 of the piston and is adjusted axially to carry its lower edge 32 in position to cut off more or less the radial passages i6. `This sleeve or gate does not entirely fill the annular passage 9. One way of initially adjusting it is to pull the piston upward until the lug 33 interlocks on one side or the other of a key 34 at the lower end of the head 35 of the cylinder l and the piston rod is given a partial turn and thereby turning the upper end of the piston body 6 in the sleeve while the gate is held. from turning movement. In order to limit this relative turning movement, a radial pin 33 on the upper portion of the piston body 6 moves in an arcuate slot 39 in the gate.
This piston and valve assembly is particularly compact and the valve operation sensitive to such small forces as are generated by relative movement between the stump of a leg and the socket of the artificial leg, such as'are generated by the tension and relaxation of thigh muscles.
