VALVE FOR MOTORS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 545,868, dated August 27, 1895. Application filed March 21,1895. Serial No.542,669. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: represents a similar port on the opposite side lie it known that I, ALLEN T.

Said valve is of closing port m and uncovering portm', which curved form, fitting the face of the cylinder will admit the medium of force to the duplex E. Said valve is provided with an annular piston D, which will force the said piston 95 flange 'i, fitting and seating in the tubular hack in the cylinder E, carrying with it the flange 51', formed on the shank or neck 77. of the main Valve G, which covers port a, and adpis'ton D. mitting the medium through the port 0. onto 2 represents a port formed outside of the the opposite face of the piston for driving flange j and receiving its pressure'supply the motor in the reverse direction. The ex- 10a from the inlet F through the passages e behaust is alternately through the supply-ports tween the cylinder walls and the neck 77.. e and through the port cl of the main valve and port I) in the cylinder to exhaust-chamber'c. The exhaust from the cylinder E, when the piston D D is thrown, is through the ports m m alternately with the port at of the auxiliary valve, thence by port 0, which communicates with the port d of the main valve, and thence with the exhaust-chamber. It will be observed that the neck of the piston D D carries the main valve and piston D D, reciprocates in the cylinder E, and sustains the thrusts and wear caused by the change of the stroke. The main and auxiliary valves, it will be observed, are practically balanced and may be moved easily. The exhaust ports and passages are made so as to cushion the movement of the piston by the resistance of the exhaust through the passages.

In the modification shown in Fig. 8 the main valve is provided with an annular stein tseating on the annular boss 7.) on the neck of the piston D D, which holds the main valve firmly in position laterally but yet allows it to drop down as it wears away, so as to keep its contact with the seat, and the pressure being sufficient to hold it in its seat. Likewise the auxiliary valve H, while being practically balanced, has a slight excess of pressure on its top side to hold it to its seat.

It will be observed that the ends of the duplex piston D D are connected by a neck or shank, around which the pressure medium passes, to supply the ports Ct to and m m, respectively. The said piston has its bearingsupport. in cylinder E and but little Wear is brought upon the main and cut-oft" valves, While the piston D D is practically balanced in the cylinder E.

I claim The combination with a motor cylinder and its ports and piston, the auxiliary cylinder E, and the duplex piston D D having its ends connected by a neck It provided on the under side with an annular flange, of the main valve G having an annular flange engaged with the corresponding flange of the said piston neck and provided with a central discharge port and with ports 6 e at its ends, and the auxiliary valve H seated upon the upper side of the piston neck 71., substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

ALLEN T. MILLER.
