useful .provements in lVlagnetically-Operated Talves, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to valve mechanism, and more'particularly to pilot valves to control the operation of larger or main valves for pressure regulating, temperature control and similar purposes. The improved valve mechanism may also be used as a whistle valve or water control valve, particularly when it is desired tohave the valve located: at some distance from the point of operation.
The objects of this invention are to proe a valve mechanism of the character citied which is of most simple construc- 32011, and is. highly efficient. and durable, there being a minimum possibility of derangement; a mechanism which is electromagnetically operated and extremely sensitive to such operating means; and a mechanism which is readily assembled. Further ohiects and advantages incident to my improved construction will. be apparent to those skilled in the art to which it appertains. l have illustrated my invention in p1 rerred form in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure l is a longitudinal section of the apparatus; and Fig. 2 is a section on the line 22 of Fig. 1.
Referring to Fig. 1, the valve mechanism comprises, in general, casing or cylinder 3, a piston 11 with its stem 6 provided with the usual packing 7 and packing nut 8, an inlet port l, and an outlet portf). The piston is provided with an extension 2 having an enlarged head 13. The head 13 acts as a stop and as a guide for the piston to prevent binding thereof and has rather a loose fit in the cylinder so that the pressure of the fluid acts on both of its faces. The head also acts somewhat as a dashpot. The piston, stem, extension and head are made in one piece, which is adapted to be inserted and removed through an opening in one end of the casing, said opening being normally closed by the threaded plug 14:.

facesthereof under the pressure of the fluid entering at port The area exposed to the pressure 1s, however, greater on the side away from the stem, because ofthe unbalanced area of thestem, and the piston is, therefore, normally pressure held in a position. uncovering both the ports a and 5. P nt the area of the stem being comparatiyely small, it will be obvious that only a slight differential ofpressure will exist and that only a small force will be necessary to bring about nhveinent of the piston to port covering position. This insures a very sensitive operation of the valve.
Upon a bracket 15, on the casing 3, is
supported the electromagnetic operating means indicated as an entirety by the letter Briefly described, this operating means is of the solenoid type having a coil 16 and a movable core 17. The coil is supported on a spool-like member 18 extending only part way through the central space of the coil. A pin or rod 19 is slid-ably mounted in this member 18 so as to be readily movable longitudinally of the coil. Its upper end carries a bee d 530 which limits its downward movement and its lower end is normally out of engagement but is adapted to be engaged thereby upon upward movement ofthe core when the coil is energized. Convenient terminals 21 are provided for the coil, the current for which may be controlled either by an automatic or a hand 0perated switch, as desired, the same being, however, not shown as it forms no'part of the present invention. A casing 22 incloses the parts and the whole is 'fastened in any suitable manner to a main plate or frame which carried from the bracket 15, as set forth.
The core is provided with a stem 24-. which slides in a plug 25 screwed into the bottom of the casing 22. The core when not magnetically attracted is normally gravity held in lower position.
Gn theplate 23 is pivoted a bell-crank 26, one arm of which engages the stem 6, and the other, the head of the pin 19. When the core is attracted toward the center of the coil, it strikes the pin 19, thereby actuating the bell-crank lever to move the piston 11 against the fluid pressure to cover the outlet port 5, which action, of course, stops the flow of said pressure and effects whatever operation the valve may have been intended to control. The parting of the valve may be altered to meetv the require:
ments of the particular service to which the valve is to be put. a
As will be seen, the apparatus 1s exceedingly simple and has been found to be high- 1y efficient.
'What I claim is:
