Patent GB-761753-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to the control of gas valves
IPC: F23Q9/02
Filed: 1952-08-27
Abstract: 761,753. Valves. SMITH METERS, Ltd., MIDLAND BANK EXECUTOR & TRUSTEE CO., Ltd., [Representatives of CHARLES, A (deceased) and CHARLES, J. A.]. Nov. 27, 1953 [Aug. 27, 1952], No. 21569/52. Class 135. Means for controlling gas valves comprises a recessed cam 19 rotatable through an angle proportional to a predetermined time interval, a valve operating element 14 adjustable, about an axis 12 spaced from the axis 16 of the cam, from the inner end of the recess 22 to the cam periphery for opening or closing the valve 9, and a timing clockwork mechanism 40 set in operation on adjusting the cam and which returns the cam to its initial position for movement of the valve to its initial position, the cam and cam setting element 17 being in fixed relation to a common spindle and one end of a coiled spring whose other end is anchored to the spring casing. On pushing in a spring loaded plunger 32 to remove a pin 36 from the path of a knob 17, its coned end 30 moves a lever arm 28 clockwise until it is held in a groove 37 preventing the return of the plunger and through the forked arm 26 and pin 24 rotates the lever 14 to open a valve 9 and withdraw a pin 23 on the lever 14 to the outer end of a slot 22 in a cam 19. On turning the knob 17 a predetermined amount over a time dial, its shaft 16 winds a spring connected between the shaft and casing, and rotates the cam 19 so that the pin 23 rides on to its surface and the lever 14 moves the arm 28 out of groove 37 and lever 29 into position behind the cone 30 to prevent the plunger and pin 36 moving completely back into the knob locking position. The spring then rotates the knob, shaft and cam in a reverse direction under the control of an escapement mechanism the last gear 40 of which is rotatable on the shaft 16 between a collar 41 and a spring washer 42 acting as a friction clutch. After the predetermined time the pin 23 re-enters the slot 22, the valve closes under spring action and the lever 29 releases the plunger so that pin 36 locks the knob in its initial position. The plunger may be a straight edge notched cam or a rotatable element, act directly on lever 14 or be omitted in which case the knob may hold the valve open by engaging a bolt. The time control mechanism may open the valve instead of closing it and two mechanisms may be combined to open one and close another valve, two concentric shafts 16 being used. An electrical signal may indicate the return of the cam to its initial position. In another embodiment a double disc cam is used, the first moving the pin out of the slot on to a larger second cam edge which then provides the time control and gives an abrupt closure of the valve, the discs being pin and slot interconnected. If the discs are spring interconnected the second cam may be the same size or smaller.
