JOSEPH S. WOOD, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
IMPROVEMENT IN GAS-REGULATORS.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSEPH S. WOOD, of the city and county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Gas-Regulator; and I do hereby declare the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
The object of my invention is to make a gas regnlator which shall equalize the pressure of gas through the various burners in a house or building, so that whatever the number of burners in use the pressure through each will be nearly constant.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.
Figure l is a cross-section. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section through w 3 Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section through the receiver.
Similar letters in each refer to the same parts.
I construct my regulator of a tin vessel, A, which is filled with water up to the outlet B. G is an air-tight receiver, open to the water atthe bottom 0. Two air'tight chambers, I), are soldered to it to give the receiver the requisite buoyancy in the water. These chamhers had better be made too large than too small. The receiver can then be weighted to its proper buoyancy for the pressure of gas required. V
E and F are two bent pipes fastened securely inside the vessel A. The end E is connected to the pipe from the meter.- The short arm E terminates above the water-level in the receiver 0. The end F is connected to the pipe leading to the gasburners, and the short arm F terminates above the water-line under the receiver 0. These pipes may either be bent at the bottom or screwed into a halfturn. I prefer to screw them into a casting, G G, which is soldered inside the bottom of the receiver A, and holds the pipe securely in place. The arm E has a ring, 9, screwed on, having in it a small central opening, a. In this hole, and suspended to the receiver 0, is hung a valve, h, in the form of a conical plug. K. is a screwed rod passing airtight through the receiver 0, and by which the position of the valve h may be adjusted.
The action of the regulator is this: The gas from the meter passes down pipe E, up E through opening n'into the receiver 0, then down F and up F to the burners. The pressure of gas in the pipe F F 2 and the receiverG is always the same. Suppose it is required to have a constant pressure of two inches of water to the burners, and the main is generally at four inches pressure, the receiver G is so weighted that as soon as the pressure in it gets above two inches it rises and lifts with it the valve h. As this valve h rises it contracts the opening a, and the receiver 0 rises to just that point at which the opening a will admit sufficient gas to maintain the pressure at two inches in the pipe F.
The receiver 0 is guided in its up-and-down motion by rings at sliding upon the pipes E and F.
I do not claim the inverted receiver-O, or
stantially as described.
3. The combination of the vessel A, pipes E and F, receiver G, and valve h, arranged and operating substantially as described.
JOSEPH S. \VOOD.
