TRIPLE VALVE.
C'PEGIFIQATIQN forming part of Letters Patent No. 307,122, dated October 28, 188%.
Application filed April :'35'l 1884. (No model.)
To @ZZ whom it may concern.'
Beit known that I, ANsoN S. LAsLEY, a citizen of the United States, residing in Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvement-s in Triple Valves,77 of which the following is a specification;
This invention relates to improvements in triple valves` the primary parts of which-are a piston and a slidelvalve,which valves can be used in connection with hydraulic, air, or gas engines, or other mechanisms or apparatus to which said valves are adapted, but which valves are more particularly hereinafter described in their, application to air-brakes for railroadcars, in which brakesa triple valver is em*- ployed for establishing a communication vbetween the air supply pipe leading fromlthe main air-reservoir on the engine and the auX- iliary air reservoir on the car, and also between the auxiliary reservoir and the brake cylinder, for the purpose of automatically operating the brake.
Prior to my invention the air receiving chamber extending below the piston-chamber, and connecting therewith by a perforation in the bottom of the pistonchamber, has had its lower end closed by a plug having formed therewith a tube inclosinga spiral spring sur- 'rounding a rod projecting through a central perforation in the bottom of the piston-cham` ber, and for cushioning the piston in its descent, a hammering blow of the piston being prevented by a leather washer laid on the bottom of the pistonchamber. The piston of these valves is provided with a packing consisting of a flexible metallic ring cut through on one side and working by a spring action against the piston-chamber in a circumferential groove on the piston, and the piston-rod, which also carries the slide -valve, extends above the latter, and has a bearing in the screw cap of the valve shell, for staying the piston and slide-valveagainst a lateral or rockingmovement, in which respect a spring in an open recess in the slide-valve and bearing against the rod is employed as an auxiliary, as well as to prevent the slide-valve from working by gravityalone. l
From the above description it will be seen that in the construction referred to a full stroke not as an automatic air-brake.
of the piston involves a violent contact with the'bottom of the piston-chamber, which contact sooner or later strains and otherwise injures the piston and disturbs the stability of the slide-valve. Besides this, a slight accumulation of ice inthe bottom of the air- :receiving chamber is sufficient to destroy the operation of the sp ring-cushion, the tubes and spring of which,`.the pack-ing in the piston, and the recesses and openings in the slidevalve are catch-alle for dirt and other obstructing substances, and ,besides, are liable to freeze up even before thespring-cushion, or, at least,
.to become so nearly so as to render their op` eration uncertain or so slow that the valve will not effectively operate, and must therefore be cut off from the auxiliary air-cylinder, and the brake be operated as an ordinary and A tri ple Avalve to successfully and automatically operate 'an air-brake must of necessity respond quickly to any variation in the ai r-pressure employed to operate it, and must have all of its parts positive in their operation, and adapted to quickly relieve the brake-cylinderpiston from air-pressu re the instant it is desirable to unset the brake, and, above all, to avoid as nearly as possible any liability of any of the operative parts of the valve from freezing, or of being retarded in their movements by an accumulation of foreign substances.
The objects of my invention are therefore to promote the efiiciency of a triple valve by having its operative parts so constructed that unavoidable accumulations, whether of ice, dirt, or other substances, may be conveniently and quickly removed before they have materially obstructed any of the movable part-s of the valve. A further object is to dispense entirely with any necessity of a sprngcushion for the `piston or a washer to take up its striking force, and at the same time avoid the necessity of employing devices affording a receptacle for foreign substances or liable to freeze and by either of these means retard or destroy. the operation Vof the piston.4 A further object is to provide a slide-valve adapted without injury to itself toltake up an otherwise striking force of the piston. y A further object is to establish an equilibrium of airpressure on both ends of theslide-valve when' IOO upon its seat, and thereby not only relieveits actuating-spring from any strain by the airpressure, but at the same time insure an effeet-ive seating of the valve under every degree of air-pressure to which it may be subjected when in operation. A further object of my invention is to center the slide-valve and piston in such amannerthattheair-pressure in the'valve-chamber will exert a force tending to relieve the valve and its centering device from a liability to stick either` from freezing'or from foreign substances. A further object is to provide a convenient means for adjusting the valve,which means, together with the valve, shall be convenient of access. A further object is to provide means whereby the exhaust-port in the triple valve for the` brake-cylinder may have a diameter equal4 to that ofthe air-supply ports or passages, or at least such a diameter that the air may be so quickly exhausted from the brake-cylinder that the brake may be as instantly released as the slide-valve islifted off its seat; and, finally, to provide certain details of construction hereinafter fully described. I attain these objects by devices illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a central longitudinal section of a triple valve embodying my invention, said section being taken on the line x .fr of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a transverse section of the same, tak en on the line y y of Fig. 1; Fig. 3, a transverse section of theslide-valve and its bearing-shaft, taken 4on the line z z, Fig. l; Fig. 4, asection of the cut-off plug turned to cut off the 'triple valve.
Similarletters of reference indicate the same parts in the several figures of the drawings.
The valve-case is preferably made in two parts, A B, the upper part, A, being provided with an annular flange, a, projecting into the lower part, B, a suitable packing, b, serving in connection with the iiange to form a tight joint between the case-sections, which are additionally provided with laterally-projecting iianges c, (see Fig. 2,) through perforations in which bolts are passed for clamping said sections rigidly but removably together.`
Formed in the case-section A is an air-supply passage, C, a continuation of which is formed in case-section B, into which `the passage opens, said passage being connected by a pipe, d, when the valve is in use, with the brake-valve (not shown) and the main reservoir (not shown) on the engine. Case-section B forms a chamber, D, for convenience designated as a .supplychamber,77 which chamber is separated from the pistonchamber E by a perforated diaphragm, F, which is seated upon a shoulder on section B and held in'its seat by the iange a on the section A. This perforated diaphragm serves to strain the air escaping through it into the piston-chamber, and therebyprevent dirt and other foreign substances escaping from the supply-chamber into the piston-chamber, and thence to the bearing-surfaces and passages of the valvestructure; and, besides, this perforated diaphragm permits condensations, lubricants, &c., to escape from the upper part of the valve structure-to the bottom of the supplychamber. The supply-chamber is preferably of a straight cylindrical form, and has its bottom end closed by a screw-cap, G, that, when removed, provides for the largest possible access to the chamber for removing accumulations, and particularly ice, which latter, if it fails to drop outV by its own gravity, can be quickly and readily broken up-an operation not practical when such a chamber is only accessible through an orifice suitable for a plug, as in the structures now commonly employed.' Piston-chamber F has on one side, near its top, a groove, H, bisecting at its upper end with an eduction-passage, H, connected with an auxiliary reservoir (not shown) upon the car, to which the triple valve and brake-cylinder, hereinafter referred to, are attached by a pipe, e, tapped in said passage. The piston I is provided with a peripheral groove for receiving a packing, f, which is preferably composed of a solid filling of solder, but may be.
of any metallic substance which is desirable, but at the same time softer than brass, of which the piston and the inner walls of the piston-chamber, if not the entire case, are preferably composed. Metallic packing is desir able because less liable to tightly freeze or to be injured if thrown into operation when frozen, and, besides, does not gather upon its surface foreign substances, which would increase the friction and wear of both the piston and its bearing-surface. Piston I has cast with or otherwise rigidly secured upon its upper surface an inclined check-valve, J, the seat of which is formed in the top of the case and IOC similarly inclined, and the stem g projects into a vertical eduction-passage, K, in the case, said stem being provided with a groove, h, running out the upper end thereof, the purpose of which groove will hereinafter be described. Passage K affords a communication of the piston-chamber with a slide-valve chamber, L, in the upper end of the case, and bisectsa passage, M, continued by a pipe, t, leading to the brake-cylinder, (not showm) and also an escape-passage, N, which is in a plane slightly above the said passage M. The valvechamber Lhas its upper end closed by ascrewcap, O, secure in position like the cap G, and
forming the entire top of the valve-chamber,
IIO
ling the shaft, but an internal air-chamber for the valve, which chamber is extended above the base of the conewby an annulus, n, provided with perforations o, affordingaeommunication between the air-chamber l and the valve-chamber, andthe bottom fof-chamber is provided with radial slots n', opening into the chamber below the valve. Spring m seats at its lower end on the bottom of the air-cham ber of the slide-valve, and at its upper end bears against a disk, Q, tapped*andvertically adjustable on the shaft Q, for adjusting the tension of the spring, and with itv the pressure of the valve on its seat. In this connection it may be observed that by seating the spring well down toward the bottom of the valve, as shown, the operation of the spring is, for obvious reasons, more effective, while atthe same time apositive and accurate seating ot the valve is attained, and the friction ofthe valve reduced to a minimum. disk Q is provided with perforations p, the purpose of which will hereinafter be described, and has a Vfree bearing against the straight walls of the valve-chamber, and serves not only to center the slide-valve, but also the check-valve and thepiston. 1vVith the parts in the position shown in Fig. 1,-.in which the' piston iselevated above the lower end of the groove H, the check-valve is seated, and the slide-valve is raised above its seat, air iowing through the supply-passage C into the chamber D, and, passing through the perforate'd diaphragm into the piston-chamber, will enter the groove H, and pass thence through passage'H to the auxiliary reservoir, which may, for present purposes, be supposed to be iilled and under pressure by the air entering the valve through the supply passage. It', now, the pressure in thek supply-passage be reduced, the back-pressure of air in the auxiliary reservoir upon the piston will press the piston down below the groove H,Aand at thesame time lower the check-valve away from its seat until the groove L in its steln establishes a communication between the upper part of the piston-cylinder and passage M, just before which the slide-valve is fully seated and the air immediately flows out of the auxiliary reservoir through passage H', K, and M to the brake-cylinder and sets the brake.V As air enters passage M, it also flows through slots n in the slide-valve into the chamber-thereof, and ont its top, and through the perforations p in the centering-disk to the upper part of the valve-chamber; but-as the the perfor-ations o in said ange to the perforations in the disk. This accumulation of air above the slide-valve and centering-disk establishes an equilibrium of air-pressure on Theboth of their respective faces, and secures an effective seating of the valve against a pressure otherwise tending to lift it, while ,also relieving the spring from undue strain and from having a tension greater than is required for its normal purposes; and in this connection it should be stated that the spring, in 4addition to actuating and cushioning the slide-valve, also affords a spring-resistance for both the check-valve and piston, tendingto check their lfallafter the slide-valve is seated, and thereby prevents a hammer-blow of the centering d isk on saidvalve.
Vhen it is desired to unset the brake, airpressure is again admitted through the supply-passage G to the piston, which it forces upwardly, and with it the groove 7L, which, as soon as it passes the lower end ofthe straight wall vof the passage K, .cuts off t-he supply of aiuto the passage M, at which moment the slide-valve is lifted off its seat and the air in the brake-cylinder returns bac-k through passage M and escapes from the triple valve through the escape-passage N.
The general constructiontof my triple valve and the arrangement ot'its several passages and -movable parts is such that ample room and provision are made for having the exhaustport N of substantially the saine diameteras the passages, and in any case of a suiiicient diameter to permit the air in the brake-cylinder to quickly escape, and hence the brake to be instantly released, and the usually prolonged hissing noise of the escaping air obviated. It' desirable, however, this exhaustport maybe screw-threaded, as shown, and be contracted by means of a nipple, R, having a bore of any preferred diameter. Theexhaustport .may be formed in the same plane with the passage M 5 but it is preferably raised above that plane in order to have as direct an exitpassage for the a'ir as is possible and consistent with the desired dimensions and configurations of other parts and an effective closing of said `port by the slide-valve.
Fitting and turning `in the valve-case is a cut-off plug, S, (see Figs. 2 and 4,) which is of the common and well-known constructionthat is to say, is bored out -at q and grooved at r, to register, respectively, with passages M "and C, -which passage'G, by turning the plug and cutting ont the passages M and the lower portion ot" passage C, and hence the triple valve, (see Fig. 4,) may be made to register with and directly `join the upper part of passage@ with the upper end of passage M, whereby the brake-cylinder nia-y be operated by a direct air-pressure from the main reservoir when for any cause the triple valve is not in working order. rIhis plug is provided with the usual conical stern T for the application of a wrench to turn it, and also a spring, U, for holding it against its seat.
In conclusion, it should be observed that it would be no departure from the spirit of my invention to employ a widely-different c011- IOO IIO
struction of slide-valve in connection with the piston and check valve herein shown and described, or viceversa; and, furthermore, a triple valve may be made With the relative position and configuration of the several passages and grooves changed, and yet embody the essential features of the invention herein involved.
