in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to water gauge glasses in which the gauge glass is
metallically and hermetically fitted between the outer level taps.
The accompanying drawing shows this improved apparatus in section and partial
elevation.
This improved gauge glass is arranged in a frame v connected at both its upper
and lower ends with sockets o for the gauge glass holder. In each socket o a
screwed guide bush p and a tightening screw q which latter is fitted with a washer
ring are inserted from opposite ends towards each other. The washer is pressed
against the edge of the glass s which latter passes through the bush. The upper
part of the tightening screw is dished or spherically recessed. In this recess
closely fits a spherical head of a screw t having a milled shoulder to facilitate its
being turned, the shank of which screw is screwed into a stuffing box ring u.
A screw with a similarly shaped head w is firmly screwed on to the lower water
level tap and closely engages in the corresponding recess of the lower socket. By
this arrangement of the gauge glass any leakage from the same, when not in a
perfectly vertical position, as has been the case in the gauge glasses hitherto
employed, is entirely excluded.
ย
If the gauge, glass has to be taken out and replaced by a new one the upper
round headed screw t is screwed up a little and then the frame together with the
water gauge glass is taken out and the insertion of a new glass in the same can be
effected without further trouble.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me
by my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is :-
1. The improvement in or relating to water gauge glasses which consists in
arranging the gauge glass in a frame (v) connected above and below to sockets (0)
of the gauge glass holder, and in mounting said frame and gauge glass between
two screws (tw) having spherically shaped heads to fit into spherically shaped
recesses in tightening screws (9) screwed into said sockets, substantially as
described.
2. The general construction and combination of parts, taken as a whole,
forming the improved gauge glass, substantially as described and illustrated.
Dated this 21st day of September 1896.
