  • the housing 11 provides a control cavity 12 having a cover plate 13 by which the control cylinder 14 is placed into cavity 12.
  • Communication between the cavity 12 and the flat box line F is provided through passage 15 in flange 11a.
  • Communication between the cavity 12 and the vacuum header H is provided through the hollow toroidal insert 16 arranged generally centrally in the cavity 12 communicating through passage 17 in flange 11b and the plurality of radially extending passages 18 formed in the inner wall 16a of the toroidal section 16.
  • the toroidal section 16 provides inner wall 16a opening in an axial direction to permit insertion of the control cylinder 14.
  • Control cylinder 14 includes a first hollow, generally arcuate member 20 having a flange 20a on the bottom the closure effect for the closure member 22 to the control cylinder 14.
  • a vacuum introduction Line 26 is provided between the loading chamber 24 and the header II. This Line 26 permits, through the utilization of a regulator R, loading of the chamber 24 such that predetermined vacuum pressures will be maintained at the flat box.
  • Cover plate 13 is pressure sealed to the control cylinder 14 in such a manner to permit the assembly of the control cylinder H to the toroidal vacuum section 16 as access must obviously be afforded to attachment screws 21 interiorly of the cavity 12.
  • Sets of apertures designated 27, 28 are provided respectively above and below the cover plate 14 to permit atmospheric pressures to be selectively to the interior of cavity 12.
  • Piston 30 includes a connective control end 31 arranged in controlled relation to the loading chamber 24.
  • This connective control end 31 includes the afore-mentioned flexible, resilient, diaphragm bellows member which in its common form would comprise a cup-shaped member having a radially extending flange at its upper end.
  • the flange is designated 32, the sides of such cup 33 and the bottom 34.

  • These two capturing elements are clamped by a connecting rod 37 extending therethrough with capturing elements 37a, 37b cooperatively associated therewith.
  • bellows member The concept of the bellows member is to permit a relatively large stroke of the connective rod 37 by permitting the bellows to roll upon itself. Obviously, to control such rolling the sizing of the upstanding inverted cup-shaped clamp element 36 in relation to the interior wall of the dome shaped closure 22 is important and in this drawing this relationship is distorted to permit full explanation of the coaction of the elements. It should also be obvious that this sensing bellows could be provided as a flat diaphragm member if the same were large enough to permit the desired stroke.
  • the connective rod 37 extends to the vacuum and atmospheric introduction area of the cavity 12 and at such area a pair of rolling diaphragm bellows members designated respectively as an atmospheric bellows 40 and a vacuum bellows 41 are provided.

  • the connective rod 37 and the means for clamping the bellows members 40, 41 are designed to provide a rolling, opening and closing action over the vacuum introducing apertures '28 such that a balancing or floating motion will occur in accordance with the loading chamber 24 pressure and the pressure in the flat box.
  • a plurality of clamp means including a first cupshaped member 45, a spacing member 46 and a second cup shaped member 47 are provided on rod 37 between a shoulder 37c and a member device such as the threaded aperture 47a in cup member 47.
  • the diaphragm bellows members 40, 41 are respectively provided between first cup member 45 and spacer 46 and the second cup clamp member 47. Again the cup members control the rolling effect of the diaphragm bellows members to place the sealing side thereof against a solid surface with the low pressure always acting to hold the same against such surface.
  • a passage system 48, 49 is utilized to introduce atmospheric pressure into the area 50 defined by the diaphragm.
  • the vacuum control diaphragm 41 has the relatively low pressure of the header I-I acting to pull the same against wall 16a of the toroidal section 16 and the atmospheric control diaphragm H as the relatively lower pressure within cavity 12 acting to pull the same against the inner wall of control cylinder 14.
  • vacuum pressure is introduced into loading chamber 24 to thereby draw the connective control end 31 and rod 37 upwardly thus drawing up or rolling diaphragms 40, 41 upwardly to roll over to close atmospheric apertures 28 and to roll over to open at least certain of the vacuum introducing apertures 18.
  • the regulator acts to maintain this attained pressure in the loading chamber 24.
  • the vacuum pressure in the flat box will vary and as these variations occur the pressure existing in the flat box is transmitted to the cavity 12 and the unit will operate to maintain the predetermined pressure by either introducing more vacuum or by the introduction of atmospheric pressure into the cavity 12.
  • the control unit will move downwardly to open the cavity to atmosphere while closing or tending to close vacuum communication.
  • the control unit will move upwardly to open the passages 18 between the header H and the cavity 12. In this manner then a continuously operating unit is provided which will maintain proper flat box pressure.
  • the unit will primarily perform a relieving function which will open the header H to atmospheric pressure should the vacuum in the header H exceed a predetermined limit to prevent what is termed dead ending in which the vacuum pumps are forced to operate against a closed system.
  • this modified form designated generally 50 includes a generally T-shaped housing having a pair of opposed attachment flanges 51, 52, and a third attachment flange 53 arranged to attach the unit to the vacuum header H.
  • a screening attachment 54 is provided on flange 51 having a screen 540 therein and a regulator mounting attachment 55 is provided on the opposed flange 52 with a control member 56 mounted thereon controlling the introduction of vacuum to a control portion 57 within the housing.
  • Regulator 56 receives vacuum from a header connecting line 58 and delivers the same through passage 55a into the control portion 57.
  • a control cylinder 60 is provided interiorly of the housing 50 having one end 60a thereof sealed to screening flange 54 with the other end provided with a radially extending flange 60b which is sealingly clamped between flange 52 and the regulator attachment plate 55.
  • a plurality of apertures 61 are provided in spaced relation generally longitudinally centrally of the cylinder 60 to be in communicating alignment with the header communicating passage 53a. lnteriorly of control cylinder 60 a movable, flexible, valving diaphragm bellows 65 is provided to selectively open and close the apertures 61 by rolling upon itself as the pressure in the control section 57 varies.
  • the diaphragm 65 includes on it the first described device an inverted cup shaped unit having a radially extending flange 66 for clamping between flange 52 and regulator mount 55, side members 67 and a closure bottom 68.
  • Clamp members 69,70 are provided on opposite sides of the closure bottom 68 with a clamping element 71 exerting the clamping force thereon.
  • the clamp member 69,70 are cup shaped and are provided with longitudinally extending side elements 69a, 70a of a diameter to permit free movement thereof within the interior of control cylinder 60.
  • a biasing member 71 is provided with the control section 57 with one end 710 thereof located against clamp element 69 and the other end 72a thereof arranged about a locating shoulder 55b on regulator mounting plate 55.
  • This member 72 normally biases the diaphragm 65 downwardly against vacuum introduced into control section 57 to close the aperture 61.
  • the diaphragm member 65 provides, as the pressure in chamber 57 varies in combination with spring 72, an opening and closing effect over the aperture 61 by rolling upon the inner wall of the control cylinder 60 and is held there against by the relatively low vacuum pressure existing in the vacuum header H which communicates with all of the area around the control cylinder 60 and thus through the apertures 61.
  • the sizing of the aperture as applicant has determined is important to prevent tearing of bellows member 65 and also to control the introduction of atmospheric pressure into header H. Utilizing a staggered aperture arrangement will permit a varied vacuum pressure within chamber 57 which may be lower than the header vacuum to lift the bellows member and permit the introduction of atmospheric pressure while always providing that the relatively higher vacuum pressure in the header H will hold the sides of the bellows against the interior of the control cylinder 67.
  • a pressure of 10 inches may be introduced into chamber 57 which will in combination with spring member 72, place the unit in the position of FIG. 3.'lncrease to 20.5 inches in the header will result in an increase in chamber 57 and will immediately start lifting of the bellows against the spring 72.
  • the area of the bottom of the bellows 68 and the clamp members becomes important as the sensitivity of the unit will be a function of this area as compared to the respective areas of the aperture 61. As apertures 61 are opened the admission of atmospheric pressure will cause lowering of the header pressure and pressure in chamber 57.
  • the controller would be mounted on the standpipe for the individual flat box with a connection 81 being made to the vacuum header for the introduction of vacuum to the unit.
  • the unit includes a body member 82, having an opening 83, to atmosphere which would normally be covered with a screening device 84, or the like, to prevent particles from flowing therein.
  • a first cylindrical sleeve member 85 is positioned within the body 82 and defines a pressure regulated chamber 86, between itself and the body member 82.
  • This chamber 85 communicates with the flat box and is at flat box pressure.
  • a plurality of apertures 85a are formed through sleeve 85 to permit controlled communication between this pressure regulating chamber and the atmospheric pressure which obviously exists internally of the sleeve number 85.
  • This particular sleeve 85 is of a first diameter, and a rolling diaphragm member 87, is arranged therein for vertical movement therewithin to open the apertures 85a and permit communication between the atmospheric pressure and the pressure regulated chamber 86.
  • This particular diaphragm member 87 is, in the form shown, captured between a cup member 88, and a plate member 89.
  • Additional chambers are formed below this atmospheric entrance 84, and in the form shown a first cylindrical sleeve member 90 is positioned within the body member 82, and a second cylindrical sleeve member 91 is spaced radially inwardly therefrom, and said second sleeve has a plurality of apertures 91a therein to permit communication between the chamber 92 formed therebetween, which chamber, as illustrated FIG. 5, communicates with the vacuum header such that vacuum header pressure may be introducted through apertures 91a into the area which is directly connected to the flat box.
  • a second rolling diaphragm member 94 is provided, again held by a cup member 95, and a plate member 96 on opposite sidles thereof.
  • the two diaphragm members 87, 94 are connected in sealed relationship through a control shaft 97, such that they will move in unison vertically within the body member 82.
  • the diameter of the aforementioned cylindrical member 91 is less than the diameter of the upper atmospheric cylinder 85 for purposes which will be explained hereinafter.
  • the upper chamber 86 is a continuous chamber and is at the same pressure as the flat box area 93. This is obviously accomplished through communicating passages through the high pressure introduction member'98 located intermediate the afore-mentioned cylindrical members 85, 90 and 91.
  • This atmospheric introduction member basically provides an isolation arrangement and a mounting means for attachment of the rolling diaphragms 87, 94, thereto such that a cavity 99 is provided therebetween with an inlet passage 99a, affording the means for introducing pressure above atmospheric pressure into the chamber 99.
  • the concept of this device is to provide a means for controlling the pressure in the flat box by the introduction of vacuum pressure into the flat box area, or the introduction of atmospheric pressure into the flat box area. Obviously, this is obtained through the upward or downward movement of the combined structure consisting of the upper diaphragm 87, and the lower diaphragm 94 as joined by shaft 97.
  • the apertures 91a will be covered to prevent vacuum introduction into the flat box area and the apertures 85a will be open to permit the introduction of atmospheric pressure to the flat box area.
  • the reverse Upon vertical rising of the control element the reverse will occur and higher vacuums will be introduced into the flat box area while the introduction of atmospheric pressure is controlled to sealing of the apertures 85a.
