BETARD DEVICE.
A pplication filedAugust 1a, 1925. Serial No. 51,075.
The principal objects of our invention are to provide a device for retarding the pulsations of a gas or fluid and to so construct the device that it may be easily and thoroughly cleaned and easily adjusted.
A feature of our invention 1s the use of a needle valve to retard the pulsations of a fluid or gas in thepassage of the fluid or ure 2;
Figure 4 is a, diagrammatic view described below; and
Figures 5 and 6 illustrate attachments described below. v v
Figure 7 is a detail hereinafter described. Pipe 1 leads from any 'suitable.source of pressure to our device and pipe 2 leads therefrom to any suitable gauge, .these plpes being so threaded to the body 3 which has an opening extending transversely through it to receive the plug referred to below and which has also port 4 leading from said opening to p pe I 1, port 5 leading from said opening to plpe 2 and port- 6 leading from said openlng to the atmosphere.
Plug cock 7 fits within the opening in body 3 and is provided with ports 8,9 and 10 and with chamber 11 having a wall 12 thereof formed to provide a seat for needle valve 13. Port 9 opens into chamber 11 and ports'8 and 10 open into passage 110 which leads to chamber 11: \The plug cock is held in position by washer 14 and nut 15 and has m- .tegral with handle 16 and pointer 17.
The needle valve 13 is'fitted to an adapter 18 and is adjustable therein by threading 19 and is made gas and fluid tight by means of packing 20 and nut 21. The adapter 18 is so made pressure tight by the threading 22;
The relation of the point of the needle valve to its seat is adjusted by means of the threading 19, a knurled head 23 being rovided to i turn the needle va ve and said head 23 having Figure 3 is a section'on line.33 of Figon its flat face a graduated dial to indicate the angular position of the head with reference to a mark on the plug cock, such, for example, as the point of part 17.
-When the handle is in the position of Figure 1 port 8 is in line with port 4 and port 9 is in line with-port 5 so that if the point of the needle valve is Well away from its seat a. free passage of the material, such as gas or fluid, is provided through said ports and said passage 110 and chamber 11 from pipe 1 to pipe 2 giving full pulsationto the gauge tube. To retard this pulsation the needle valve is screwed inward until it comes in contact with its seat thus shutting off all connection between the source of pressure and the gauge. The needle valve is then screwed outward slightly away from its seat so that a small aperture is provided which wire-draws the steam, for example, and retards or damps the waves of pressure, giving a uniform pressure at the connection of pipe 2 and body 3 of approximately the mean of the pressure wave. The needle valve is adjustable within a very considerable range. To clean our device the handle is swung clockwise in Figure 1 until it points to port 6' and in this position port 10 is in line' with port-4 and port 9 is in line with port 6 (shown diagrammatically in Figure 4) and if the needle valve is now screwed outwardly there willbe a. free passage'to the atmos phere for the pulsating pressure through ports 4 and 10, passage 110, chamber 11 and.
If the plug cock is to be used as a stop cook the handle 16 is turned 90 in a counter clockwise direction from the position of Figure 1 and then port 4 is shut oil so that no fluid or gas can enter the cock.
7 In the dia ram of Figure 4 it will be clear that the fluid on gas will pass to the atmos phere and if the plug 7 is turned 90 in a counter clockwise direction port 9 will register with port 5 and port 8 with port 4 permitting passage to the gauge In this latter position port 10 will point generally toward port 6 but does not register with it 9 because port 10 is oflset with relation to port ing suitably fixed thereto a bracket :25 having perforation 26, the head 27 of the needle valve having perforations 28 so that padlock 29 may be used to holil the head 27 in the desired position with relation to bracket 2:; to prevent undesired movement of the needle valve after it has been properly set. I
In Figure 6 the bent handle 30 is provided with a perforated lug 31 and the adapter 18 is provided with peripheral notches such as 32. We provide a cap 33 to enclose the adapter and the head of the needle valve and to prevent undesired access to the latter, the cap having small pins, such as 34 to register with the notches 32. An eye 35 has integral pin 36, the latter attached to ca A padlock 37 locks the eye 35 to the per oration of lug 31, and therefore acts with the cap to prevent access to the needlevalve and consequently prevents undesired movement of the needle valve after it has been properly set.
In Figure .7 one of the pins 34 and oneof the notches 32 which are ofbayonet joint shape are shown.
