SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 309,377, dated December 16, 1884,
Application filed May 12, 1884. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JAMES COOKER, a citizen of the United States, residing in Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful. Improvements in Steam-Boiler-Flue Cleaners, of which the following is a specification.
The object of this invention is to produce a simple and effective device for cleaning boilertubes by means of a jet of steam, which will be fully and clearly hereinafter shown and described by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation, partly in sec tion, of the device complete, and Fig. 2 represents a top view.
The invention consists of a tube, or, provided with a head, to, having a square or hexagonal nut, a. The lower portion of the tube a is connected in the usual way with an elbow, (L to which is secured the tube to", having a piece of rubber or other flexible tube, a for connecting in any well-known way with a steamboiler. Just below the tapering head a of the tube a is one or more outlet-openings, c.
c is a flaring case adapted to slide back and forth along the tube a. It is provided with an inwardlytapering head, 0, constructed to fit the tapering head of the tube a, so as to form a valve, as shown.
At the lower end of the case 0 is a flaring rim, c and below it isa flaring collar, 0, (also adapted to slide along the tube a.) Re low this collar 0 is a spiral spring, 0 and below the spring is a nut, e, and a jam-nut, 6, both being arranged to screw back and forth on the tube a. Their object is to increase or diminish the force of the spring and to keep it in place.
I have shown a coupling, 6*, to be used when the tube ais made in two pieces; but this may be used or not, as may be desired.
The head or case 0 is provided with a flange, e.
The object in making 0' tapering or cone- 5 shaped is to adapt it to be used in flues of different sizes. M
0* represents a wooden handle by which the device is held while being used.
The operation of the invention is as follows: The tube a being suificient-ly long to enable the (iperator to move about the required distance and connect it with the steanrboiler in the usual way, the operator places the head or case a into a flue and pushes forward with sufficient force to overcome the spring and bring it toward the position shown by the dotted lines This operation brings the opening 0 out beyond the tapering portion 0 and allows the steam to pass into the flue and clean it. A close joint is produced between the tube a and the lower portion of the case 0 by means of a packing,f, of cotton or other well-known material.
I claim as my invention A boiler-flue cleaner consisting of a tubular portion provided with a suitable handle, a tapering head, a, and openings 0, in combination with a sliding case, 0, provided with a valve'seat, 0 a stuffing-box for keeping a 7:) tight joint, a spring and connections for holding the parts in position, and a suitable tube for connecting it with the boiler, as and for the purposes described.
JAMES COOKER.
