Patent GB-190604490-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Thermostatic Valves for Water Heaters.
Inventor: RUUD EDWIN
Filed: 1906-02-23
Granted: 1907-02-21
Abstract: 4490. Ruud, E. Feb. 23. Heating water; thermostats.-Relates to thermostats, applicable to control the supply of fuel to water-heaters, in which the valve is abruptly closed or opened by a thermostatic device acting through spring-influenced lever mechanism. Fig. 1 shows the apparatus, the fuel valve 3 being open Fig. 2 shows part of the valve-closing mechanism in an intermediate position ; Fig. 3. shows the position of the parts when the valve is closed. Pivoted to the frame structure 10 are two crank levers. One lever 11 is provided with a bead 12 fitting closely between two collars 13 on the valve stem. The other lever 15 has a smaller head 16 possessing a certain amount of play between the collars 13, but on the side of the valve stem opposite to the lever 11. The other ends of the levers are fitted with springs 17, 18, each of which exerts a thrust to keep the lover in contact with upper or lower stops carried by the plate 21. The lever 11 has no connexion with the multiplying-levers 4, 5, actuated by the thermostatic device 1, but the lever 15 is provided with a wing 24 making contact with a projection upon the lever. The wing is also in contact with a spring 26 carried by the lever 5. In operation, the expansion device 1 actuates through the levers 4, 5 the lever 15 by means of the wing 24, and moves this lever gradually to the position shown in Fig. 2, the spring 18 being then in a line with the points between which it acts. As the lever advances farther, it is tripped by the spring 18, the head 16 rapidly striking one collar 13. As the spring 18 is stronger than the spring 17, the lever 11 is actuated by the movement of the collars 13 and passing suddenly from one position to the other abruptly closes the valve. As the temperature falls. the lever 15 returns to the position shown in Fig. 2, being actuated by the lever 5 through the spring 26. Finally, the lever 15 moves abruptly to the position shown in Fig. 1, the lever 11 and spring 17 being moved through the collars 13 as before. The spring 26 permits the lever 5 to be moved without actuating the lever 15 when contraction of the expansion device proceeds beyond the limit for which the regulator is adjusted.
