Title: An Improved Pressure Regulating Valve.
Inventor: BRETSCH OTTO
Filed: 1908-09-15
Granted: 1909-09-15
Abstract: 19,358. Breetsch, O. Sept. 15. P r e s s u r e -regulating valves.-The main valve f is situated on the highpressure side and is bared centrally to receive an auxiliary valve i to which is connected'a spring-pressed piston b exposed to the reduced pressure in the outlet. The auxiliary valve i has a central boring 5 so that the underside of this valve is subject to the reduced pressure only, thereby avoiding hammering. In operation, when the point p of the wheel-operated screw is withdrawn the spring c opens the auxiliary valve which provides a discharge from the chamber g below the main valve of greater area than the inlet passage h from the high-pressure, whereby the main valve is free to fall open. Excessive pressure in tho outlet d raises the piston b and the auxiliary valve which raises and closes the main valve by means of the valve shoulder at k.
