STEAM TRAP.
WITNESEIS 'NiTED STATES ROBERT NEV'ION, OF PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND.
STEAM-TRAP.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent-N0. 334,272, dated January 12, 1886.
Application tiled January i, 1885. Serial No. 151,824. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Roni-3er NEWTON, of the city and county of Providence, and State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Steam-Traps, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the aecompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification.
My invention relates to that class of steamfXtures which are designed to discharge the water of condensation without allowing any escape of steam; and the object of my invention is to increase the rapidity of action of this class of devices and to economize the amount of space required by the floating chamber; also, to so place the valvechamber and the inlet that they shall be below the water-level, and thus produce a better lubrication ofthe valve and a more thorough separation of the liquid of condensation from the steam.
' To the above purposes my invention consists in the peculiar and novel features of construction hereinafter described and claimed.
In order that my invention may be fully understood, I will proceed to describe it with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which the gure illustrates the trap in longitudinal vertical section.
In the said drawing, A designates the tank or receptacle in which the water of condensation is collected, and in which the valve is operated.
B designates the cover of the tank, C the tubular inlet, and D the outlet, the water-line being indicated by a broken line on a level with the outlet through which the water escapes, and by which the water-level is maintained. At one end the inlet C extends through the side of the tank and carries a Bange or shoulder, c, between which and the inner surmay be understood by reference to Letters Patent No. 284,469, granted to me September 5o I designates the discharge-pipe or vomit,y
J the weight for the chamber H, and K the drip-pipe, the outer end of which is closed by a valve, k, which opens outwardly.
By the peculiar construction above described the inlet and its valve are submerged, and thus a more perfect discharge of the water of condensation is effected, while at the same time the valve is lubricated. Vhen the water of condensation is to be discharged, it escapes through the pipes I and K, and hence a Very rapid action is produced.
The chamber H,by its cylindrical form, not only affords an opportunity for the use of the weight J but occupies much less space than if formed otherwise.
The cylindrical chamber H may be used with either the outlet I or the outlet K alone, and still maintain the advantage of rapid discharge herein referred to.
The purpose of the weight J is to steady the action of the chamber H, and in order to insure the proper action of the weight it is rendered adjustable upon the chamber by means of bolts which work through elongated slots in the weight, and by which the Weight is secured to the chamber. The end of the weight is recessed, so as to permit of the movements of the weight. These features are illustrated in the drawing, and by them the action of the weight in facilitating the fall and retarding-the rise of the chamber is properly regulated.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. In a steam-trap, the combination, with the tank A, provided with the overfiow D,
placed above the valve-chamber c', of the cylnder H, provided with weights :md connected 3. The combination, with the cylindrical by :L tubular Connection with the lower pzub chamber and its connections with the Valve, of the valve-chamber c, as described. of the pipes I K and the weight J, as de- 2. The combination, with the tank A, 112W- scribed. 5 ing a cover, B, and an outlet, D, of the inlet Y' C, having the flange o and valve-ohmnber c', l ROBERT NEVTON. submerged below the Water-line, the eyliul drieal chamber H, having the rings 71 the hole L, andthe pipes l K, and the arm G and elro bow E, as specified.
