Title: Improvements relating to Gas Lighting and Extinguishing Apparatus.
Inventor: ELTON EDMUND HARRY
Filed: 1908-02-07
Granted: 1909-03-08
Abstract: 2816. Elton, Sir E. H., and Stephens, R. Feb. 7. Lighting and extinguishing gas.-In a modification of the valve - actuation apparatus described in Specification No. 15,067, A.D. 1906, a weighted lever 11, Fig. 1, connected by an arm to the bellows operates the pilot and main valves 6, 5 directly by means of the engagement of projections 11<d> on the lever 11 with grooves in the valve-spindle or between flanges 51, 61 on the valve-spindles, or by means of the engagement of the slotted ends of the lever with the grooved ends of the spindles. The threaded part of the lever 11, carrying a counterbalance weight 20, is inclined in such a manner that the weight may be moved without altering the difference between the lighting and extinguishing pressures. In modifications, adjustable weights are arranged on a screw stem on the lever parallel to its pivot, or on a pivoted arm arranged to move in a vertical plane between adjustable stops on the lever, or on an arm fixed on the lever 11 in such a position that it is vertical when the main valve is open or closed according as it is desired to vary the lighting without altering the extinguishing pressure or vice versa. In another modification, a ball 202, Fig. 9, arranged between adjustable stops e on a screw spindle e<1>, fits in a groove in the lever. The arm 14, Fig. 12, may be connected to the lever 11 by a link 141 swinging laterally between stops as shown in Fig. 2, or swinging in a vertical plane between adjustable stops e, Fig. 12. The lever 11 is provided with an obliquely - pivoted swinging rod 24, Fig. 4, which, on the first increase and decrease of pressure in the mains, rests against a fixed stop 282, and descends into a notch 28 in a fixed piece 281, thereby retaining the lever in the raised position until the pressure is again increased and decreased in the mains. When employing the lever for operating several valves, the piece 281 may be provided with several successively-descending notches in order that the arm 24 may descend, after each temporary increase of pressure, from one notch to the next and thereby allow the lever 11 to close a valve. In order to enable the main-valve to be closed by an increase of pressure, the lever .11, Fig. 14, is provided with a hinged catch 11<d>, which, when the lever rises a certain amount, becomes disengaged from the flange 51 on the valve spindle and allows the valve to fall. A stop 11<e> on the lever prevents the catch from swinging too far forwards, and the lower edge of the catch is inclined for enabling it to engage the flange 51, when the lever falls. The diaphragm may be arranged at the side instead of at the bottom of the casing.
