DASH-POT AND ACTUATlNG-CYLINDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N o. 632,744, dated September 12, 1899.
Application filed J'uly 31, 1897.l Serial No. 646,634. (N0 model.)
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, GUsTAv BERNHARD PETSCHE, a subject of the Emperor of Germany,residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Dash-Pots and Actuating-Cylinders, of which the following is a true and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,which form a part thereof.
My invention 'relates to a novel construction of dash-pot particularly, though not exclusively, adapted for use in connection with an actuating-cylinder, which, together with the pistons working therein, is designed to transmit motion to some mechanical devicei such, for instance, as a valve.
The nature of my improvements will be best understood as described in connection with the drawings, in which they are illustrated,A
signed by me for operating slide-valves controlling the suction and delivery of Water from the pump. Fig. 2 is a fragmentary view showing the actuating-pistons in a somewhat different position from that indicated in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation showing an application of my invention to use as a dashpot pure and simple, and Fig. 4 is a sectional elevation showing an vadaptation of my device for use as an actuating device for horizontally-moving valves or other mechanism.
A, Fig. I, indicates the valve-chamber containing the valve, (not showm) operated by the valve and piston rod B. y
C U indicate portions of the framing securing the actuating-cylinder to the valve-casing.
D and Dindicate separate parts of a cylinder pivoted by an inwardly-extending iiange E, having a central opening E of considerably greater area than that of the valve-stem I extending through it. A perforation E2 is formed in the iiange E, and a plug or cock F is situated therein, by means of which the effective area of the passage can be nicely controlled. I also preferably provide a second by-pass or luy-passes E3 E4, the portion E3 leading from a point in the said walls of'one of the cylinder portions, as D, to a pointin the other cylinder portion,as D,which will not be closed by the piston moving in that portion, and in this by-pass I place a non-return valve, as indicated at G, which will permit the passage of liquid from the cylinder-section `D to cylinder-section D', as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, but will not permit the fluid to move backward through the by-pass. W'here a similar control of fluid from both cylinder-sections is necessary or desired, I provide the two bypasses, as indicated in Fig. 4.
H and H are pistons moving in the cylinder portions I) and D and connected by the stem I. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, which is adapted for carrying and moving a very heavy valve, I provide a contracted cylindrical extension D2 at the top of the cylinder-section D', in which lmoves a piston J, connected with a piston II', as shown, and acting to partially balance any pressure eX- erted on the piston I-I to depress it.
CZ and cl' are ports,which,as indicated in Figs. l, 2, and 4t, connect through a valve-casing K with a source of liquid under pressure, as indicated at K5, and an exhaust-passage, as indicated at K6, the exhaust-passage connecting with the valve-casing, as shown, by ports K and K2 and the pressure-main by a port K3, while K4 and K5 indicate ports connecting, as shown, with the passages d and d.
L is'a piston-valve moving in the valvecasing K, connected in any convenient Way through its stem L3 and having the rings L and L2, by which the admission and exhaust of the cylinder D'and D are controlled in a familiar way.
In cases where only the dash-pot feature of my invention is utilized the ports d and d may be connected together, as indicated .in Fig. 3.
h' and 71, indicate plungers attached, respectively, to the sides of the pistons H and II and adapted to fit neatly in and close the opening E in the iiange E at the end of each piston movement toward such flange. It will be obvious of course that upon the entrancey of the plunger into the opening E the flow of liquid therethrough will be immediately cut off, the liquid remaining between the face of the approaching piston and the flange being forced to escape through the opening E2 and the plug-cock F, which is adjusted to afford just aproper amount of resistance to take the shock of the moving parts connected with the pistons, while permitting the pistons and the parts connected therewith to make their proper stroke. The length of the plungers 7L and 7L is of course proportioned to the work which they have to do, and in the case such as indicated in Fig. l, where a heavy weight is alternately lifted and lowered, the upper plunger h should be, as shown, longer than the lower plunger 7L, as the shock of the descending Weight is necessarily greater than when it is ascending.
The function of the by-pass and valve is to permit the motion of the piston-weight from the flange without the resistance which would be oered by the contracted passage through the plug at the beginning of the stroke, and while the opening E is closed by one of the plungers the action of the by-pass is during this stage of the motion to permit a free flow of liquid from before the distant piston to beneath the piston which lies close to the flange. As the approaching piston will cover the port E3 before its plunger enters the opening E', the operation of the dash-pot feature of the construction Will not be interfered with. As the liquid contained between the pistons Hand H is subjected at certain periods to very great pressure, there will be a tendency to a diminution in its quantity, as a portion may escape between the piston and the walls of the cylinder. By providing the port E3 with an extension, as indicated at e3, which will extend below the outer face of the piston H when in itsuppermost position, a now of fluid from the outer portions of one or both cylinders D or D' will make up for any such loss and keep the space between the pistons full of liquid.
In another application filed by me July 3l, 1897, Serial No. 646,629, I have shown and described the actuating mechanism illustrated herein in Figs. l and 2 and have included in the said application certain claims for its combination with pump-valves. My present application, however, is to cover these features of the device, which I believe to be entirely new per se.
Having now described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
