liquid purifying apparatus and more particularly to -mechanism for automatically making and breaking the circuit to the electrodes when the liquid is turned on or off. 1 The object of the invention is to provide a simple device whereby the electric current automatically established as soon as the 1 service faucet is opened'and slightly before. the liquid begins to flow through the purifyl ing apparatus, and whereby when the liquid is shut off the current is automatically broken, but not until slightly after the liquid ceases to flow through the purifying apparatus, whereby a saving of electric current is effected but nevertheless the electric t current flows for an appreciably length of time than the greater flow of liquid:
all the liquid flowing ing apparatus.
The invention comprises control valve mechanism constructed and arranged as hereinafter described and claimed.
I In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is in part a side view and in'part a vertical through the purify- Fig. 2 is a vertical section taken on aplaue at rightangles to that on which Fig. 1 is taken; Fig. 2 is a side view of the upper 2 part of the device showing the parts in'position to hold the circuit closed; Fig. 4 is a horizontal section on the line 4- 1, Fig. 3; l and Fig. is a side view of the locking l means for the circuit controller on an enl larged scale.
The" control mechanism includes a suitable casing, 1 arranged to be placed preferably in the conduit leading from the liquid purifying apparatus, but may be placed in the conduit leading to said apparatus. This casing is provided on one side with an inlet'2 comin from the liquid purifying apparatus an on the opposite side and somewhat lower with an outlet 3 leading to the service or house pipe, and which outlet, or the pipe connected thereto, will be controlled by a suitable faucetor cock. In the casing between the ports 2 and 3 is a valve seat 4 around an opening 5 which establishes communication through said casing. Cotiperating with the valve seat 4: is a suitable valve 6 which is provided with a downwardly projecting guide 7 extending through the opening 5. Projecting upwardly from the valve 6 is a stem or rod 11 passing loosely through an opening in a yoke '12 on the under side of a piston or disk 13, and provided at its upper end with a nut or head l t. The piston or disk 13 is vertically movable in the cylindrical upper portion 15 of the casing, and is provided with an equalizing port or passage 16 therethrough. The upper end of the cylinder 15 is connected by a release passage 17 with the outlet port 3. A port 18 opens through the valve seat and is covered by the valve 6.
interposed between the cross member 22 of section through the control mechanism,-
the piston 13 in its lowermost position.
Rising from the cross member 22 are a pair of guide rods 27 having secured to their upper ends the cross meniber 28 through which the upper end of projects. Mounted on the cross member 28 are a pair of pair of carbon contacts 30, the latter being carried on the lower ends of rods-31 which are, freely slidable in openings in metallic members 32 mounted on the cross member 28, and to which the metallic contacts 29 are also connected, and which metallic members 32 are provided with binding'posts 33 to which are connected the positive and negative leads respectively coining from any suit-- acts normally, to keep the.
metallic contacts 29 and a.
rod
able source of electric current. Slidably mounted on the guide rods 27 is a cross head 35 upon. the ends of which are mounted metallic members 36 carrying metallic contacts 37 cotiperating with the metallic contacts 29 on the upper cross members 28, and
with carbon contacts 38 mounted on rods 39 elevated it is above the shoulder 42 on the and coiiperating with the upper carbon contacts 30. The metallic members 36 are also provided with binding posts 39 to which are connected conductors leading to the liquid purifying apparatus. A helical compression spring 40 around rod.20 is interposed between the upper cross member 28 and the sliding cross head 35 and serves normally to hold said cross head 35 in its depressedposition, or with the circuit broken, as shown in Fig. 1.
The circuit is closed by elevating the cross head 35. This position is shown in Figs. 2 and 3. When in' such position the cross head 35 is locked to hold the circuit closed by means of a trigger or latch" 42 pivotally mounted on any suitable parts, such as upon one of the guide. rods 27 and normally held by spring 43 in locking engagement with the cross head 35. Secured to the rod 20 above the bracket cross member 22 is a suitable cam member 44, shown as of double cone shape, which upon its extreme downward movement engages the projecting portion 45 of the trigger and releases said trigger from looking engagement with the cross head so as to allow the spring 40 to suddenly move the cross head downwardly. Connected to trigger 42 is a second trigger 46 arranged to engage the cross head 35 on its oppos te side but unprovided with a portion 45 so that when it engages the cross head it cannot be released by the cone 44. The spr ng 43 normally holds the trigger 42 against the cross head and the trigger 46 away therefrom.
The operation of the mechanism described is as follows: We will suppose that the service outlet 3 is closed and no liquid flowing through the purifying apparatus. In this conditlon the parts will be in the position shown 1n Fig. 1 with the valve 6 seated on seat 4, so closing the passage through the cas ng, the piston 13 being in its lowermost posltion and the cross head 35 also in its lowermost position with the circuit open. As soon as the service spigot is opened the pressure 1n the cylinder 15 above piston 13 is suddenly relieved through relief passage- 17 thus permitting the supply pressure underneath the piston 13 to raise said piston 13. The effect of this is to compress spring 25 and cause cam 44 to engage cross head 35 and lift the same until the circuit is closed. In closing the circuit the carbon contacts 30 and 38 first touch so establishing the circuit through a path of high resistance, or through non-arcing terminals. The
the cross head 35,
further upward movement of the cross head causes the contact carrying rods 31 to slide upwardly and then the metallic contacts 29 and 37 come into contact to establish the circuit through said metallic contacts. The spring 43 holds the trigger 42 against the cross-head 35, and when the latter is fully trigger and the spring presses the trigger inwardly to bring the shoulder 42 underneath the cross-head and lock the latter in elevated position. The piston 13 can lift about iof an inch, or until the circuit is fully closed, before its yoke 12 contacts with the head 14 on the stem 11 of a valve 6, and it is not until this takes place that valve 6 is lifted from its seat. Consequently the electric circuit is fully established to the purifying apparatus before any liquid can begin to flow through the latter, for the reason that no liquid can flow through the purifying apparatus until valve 6 is raisedfrom its seat. The parts remain in this position, that is, the position shown in Figs. 2 and 3, as long as the service pipe is open. As soon as the latter is closed the pressure above the piston 13 immediately equalizcs through the relief port 17 with the pressure at the supply side 2. This permits spring 25 to move the piston 13 downwardly, and as soon as said piston has moved downwardly slightly the valve 6 is seated by the action of gravity. This seating of valve (5 however takes place considerably before the piston 13 has moved down to its full extent. Until the valve 6 seats, the equalization of pressure above and below piston 13 takes place very rapidly through port 17 so that the first part of the downward movement of the piston is quite rapid and gives a quick seating to valve 6. As soon as valve 6, however, is seated, so cutting off communication between supply 2 and relief port 17, the further downward movement of the piston is more slow, since the equalizing port 16 through the piston is so small that only a gradual equalization takes place. During such slow downward movement of the piston the circuit is still closed, being held closed by the trigger 42. Just as the piston 13 approaches the limit of its downward movement the cam 44 contacts with the projecting portion 45 on the trigger 42 and moves said trigger out of locking engagement with whereupon the spring 40, in compression when the circuit was closed, moves the cross head 35 downwardly with a snap, so getting a quick break of the circuit, said circuitbeing first broken between the spring or metallic contacts 29 and 37, and finally broken by the separation of the carbon contacts 30 and 38. When the purifying apparatus is being flushed and no liquid flowing through to the valve 1, the cross head 35 is raised by hand which was placed and the trigger 46 moved into position to lock the same, the cam lfremaining depressed, so that current is flowing through the purifying-apparatus While flushing and notwithstanding that valve 6 is closed. It will be thus seen that the control device described makes and breaks the circuit to the electrolytic purifying apparatus with the starting and stoppage of flowof liquid through the purifying apparatus, but in a manner to establish the circuit before the liquid actually begins to flow between the purifying apparatus, and holds said circuit closed until the elapse of an appreciable time after the liquid ceases to flow through the purifying apparatus. The operation of the device, however, is entirely automatic. The consequence is that the circuit is not unnecessarily held closed to waste cur rent when the purifying apparatus is not in use, but nevertheless all of the liquid flowing through the water purifying apparatus is efficiently and 'sufliciently subjected to the action ofthe electric current.
