' SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 653,728, dated July 17, 1900.
Application filed January 31,1899. Serial No. 704,014. No model.)
- To all whom it may coiwern:
joint is separated the supply of gas, in the case of a gas-bracket, is out 01?.
For purposes of illustration lwill now refer to the annexed drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a sectional elevation showing the parts forming the joint detached; Fig. 2, a sectional elevation showing the parts forming the joint when in position or engagement; Fig. 3, a side elevation to reduce scale, showing my invention in position; Fig. 4., a plan View of Fig. 2; Fig. 5, a side elevation show- ;ing a pipe provided with a series of cups and valves.
' Referring to Figs. 1 and 2,-the cup e is provided' with the valve f, which is maintained against the seating by means of the spring g, which bears upon the carrying socket-piece 2'. This cup -e is secured on the required pipe in any convenient manner, such as by means of the screw-thread h. The valve f is of a size to project, as shown, into the cup. The
, ball a is provided with the perforations d,
which communicate with the passage b, and
Ft'ojghis ball a the required article, such as a 'bracken'is, secured by means of the screwthread 0 or other suitable arrangement. The weight of ,the parts-that is to say, the ball and bracket, &c.- -and the strength of the sprmg gv are in such a relation to one another that when the ball a, carrying the required bracket, is placed in the cup e the spring 9 is overcome and the valve f is thus opened, and i of combustion.
the gas may pass through the joint to the point At the same time a joint is formed between the ball a and the cup e. By this arrangement it will be seen that in the case of a pipe,-as shown in Fig. 5, having a series of cups and valves arranged thereon a bracket may be placed in the required positionthat is to say, the ball. a, carrying the bracket, may be removed from cup to cup, as required. When the ball at is removed from the cup 6, the spring graises the valve f, and so closes the aperture to the passage of the gas. A
Although for purposes of illustrationl have shown myinvention as arranged so that the valve is carried in the cup, it will be readily understood that, if desired, the valve may be so arranged as to be carried in the ball; but this is a matter of detail.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patout, is-- In joints of the class herein described in combination, a cup in connection with the gas-supply a spring-valve carried in said cup and having a projection into the interior, a ball having perforations and in connection with the outlet, said ball and outlet branch.
or parts being of sufficient weight to depress the spring-valve aforesaid and allow of the passage of the gas to the outlet or point of consumption, said cup and ball being adapted to fit one another sufficiently tight for the prevention of the escape of gas, substantially as described and illustrated herein and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing l have hereunto set my hand this 6th day of December, 189$.
