SPECIFICATIDN forming part of Letters Patent No. 753,018, dated-February 23, 1904. Application ied December 18, 1.902. Serial No. 135,738. (No model.)
T all whom, it .ma/y concern:
Be itknown that I, JOHN V. WELLS, a citizen v I of which will be fully described hereinafter.
This specification is an exact description of one example of my invention, while the claims define the actual scope thereof.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying1 drawing, forming a part of this specification, in which the igure represents a longitudinal section of the invention, showing the parts in full release position.
1 indicates the main casing of the valve, which has a flange 2 at one end adapted to be bolted to the auxiliary reservoir or other supporting member and to the opposite end of which is fastened the usual cap 3 or any other equivalent device carrying the spring-pressed pin 4. Within the main casing 1 is formed the cylindrical piston-cavity 5, and this communicates with the valve-cavity 6, both of which cavities 5 and 6 are iitted with bushings in the usual manner. o
7 indicates 'the train-line connection, which communicates by a passage 8 with a longitudinally-extending passage 9, formed in the bottom of the valve-casing, this passage running into the cap 3 and communicating with the cavity 5 through the ports 10. The passage 9 also extends toward and communicates with the high-speed blow-down device, which will be hereinafter fully described.
1l indicates the brake-cylinder connection,
which communicatesl by a port 12 with the slide-valve cavity 6.
13 indicates the triple exhaust-port leading from the cavity 6.
integral with the piston 15, is a centrally-disposed stud 19, which carries a cross-piece 20,
from each end of which pass longitudinallyextending side straps 21, terminating at the front end of the valve in an eccentric ring 22,
.which fits snugly in the valve-cavity 6 and is perforated, as indicated at 23, to allow the free movement of pressure through it in either direction.
The slide-valve is formed with a central or main cavity 24, having a port 25 leading therefrom and'adapted to register with the port 14 upon the emergency or high-speed application of the brakes. The central cavity 24 of the'valve opens into a cavity 26 in the end of the valve, and from this cavity 26 a port 27 leads, this port being adapted to communicate with the brake-cylinder port 12 on emergency application. In the outer end of the enlarged vcavity 26 a nut 28 is screwed, and siiding loosely in this nut is a hollow stem 29 of a valve 3Q, which seats on the inner end of the cavity 26, as shown in the drawing. The hollow stem has openings 31 therein, these openings communicating with the cavity 26 when the valve 30 is in the position illustrated. When, however, the valve 30 is moved from its seat forward, or to the right in the drawing, the openings 31 `are closed by the inwardlydisposed tubular extension of 4the nut 28.
32 indicates a weak spring which has only power to seat the valve 30 when pressures are equalized, `and when the parts are in the position shown the pressure of the auxiliary reservoir, which communicates with the end of the valve-cavity 6, acts on the valve 30, to reinforce the spring. According to the adjustment hereshown the openings 31 are half and 34 indicates a port formed in the top of the Valve and communicating with the longitudinally-disposed passage 35 therein, which passage has two branches 36 leading to opposite sides of the central cavity 24 downward to the face of the slide-valve, these passages 36 being adapted to register with the cylinder-port 12 to effect a service application of the brakes. In the cavity 35 a pin-valve 37 works, this valve commanding the port 34,
and said valve is connected directly to the piston 15 by means of the cross-pin 38. As usual in triple valves of this sort, the piston 15, with the parts 19, 20, 21, 38, 37, and 22, is allowed a slight movement independently of the slidevalve, and this relative movement serves to throw the pin-valve 37 to and from the position shown in the drawing. Formed on the inwar'd'extension or tail 39 of the slide-valve is a port 40, which is adapted to register with the port 14 when the parts are in release position, and this port 40 is commanded by an inwardly-opening check-valve 41, the opening movement of which is 'limited by a pin 42, fastened in the body of the slide-valve.
rlhe right-hand end of the passage 9 communicates with a transversely-disposed passage 43, which according to the constructionV here shown is of two diameters, and into the larger or outer diameter screws the threaded nipple 44 of a case 45. Said case is preferably provided with a vent 46, and in the outer end of the case is screwed a nut 47. A pocketnut 48 works over the outer end of the nut 47 andI is adapted to bear when in fastening position against the outer end of the case 45. A port 49 is formed in the body or main case 1, and this port leads from the brake-cylinder into the case 45. In this case is mounted to move longitudinally of the case, and consequently transversely of the valve, a piston 50, to which is fastened or formed integrally therewith a hollow rod 51. Working in the outer end ofthe spring-nut 47 is an adjusting-screw 52, which serves to limit the outward movement of the rod 51, and 53 indicates a spring, which bears between the nut 47 and the piston 50 and keeps the same normally in the position shown in the drawing. rlhe rod 51 projects inward beyond the piston 50 and is formed directly adjacent to the piston with a number of perforations 54, these perforations being in a true annular line, and in the extremity of the rod 51 a number of perforations 55 are formed, these latter perforations being arranged spirally around the rod or, in other words, at dierent points along the length thereof.
y Screwed in the minor diameter ofthe opening rrfa-3,018
43 in the valve-case 1 is a nut 56, which has a passage therethrough and which carries at its inner end a check-valve 57, this valve opening into the passage 9, but seating automatically against the movement of the fluid from said passage into the case 45. The nut 56 is provided with an outer tubular extension 58, through which the rod 51 passes, andthe nut 56 is chambered in its interior, as indicated at 59, this chamber receiving the inner end of the rod 51 when the parts are in the position shown. It will be observed that in this position the openings 54 are covered by the outer end of the extension 58 and that the openings 55 all lie within the chamber 59 of the nut 564that is to say, none of these openings are covered by the extension 58 of the nut 56. It will also be observed that upon a slight movement of the piston 50, which movement is barely suiiicient to uncover the openings 54, the openings 55 will lie within the chamber 59, and therefore not covered by the extension 58.
Such being the construction and assemblage of the apparatus, its operation may be traced as follows: Assuming that the parts are in the position shown in the drawing and that it be desired to charge the auxilary, the pressure passes through the passage 8 and to the left in the passage 9 until it enters the piston-cavity 5. The piston 15 if not in the position shown will be-immediately thrown into this position, and then the pressure from the train-pipe will pass through the passages 17 and 18 and cavity 6 into the auxiliary, charging the same until the pressures in the auxiliary and train-line are equalized. To effect aservice application, the pressure in the train-line is reduced suflicientl y to move the stop 16 of the piston 15 into contact with the pin4, but not sufciently to move the piston beyond that position. This results in cutting out communication between the ports 12 and 13 in the valve-casing 1 and in placing the passage 36 in communication with the port 12. At the beginning of the movement of the piston the parts 19, 20, 21, 37, and 38 will move slightly independently of the valve, and thus the pin 37 will be drawn to the .left from the vposition shown in the drawing, so as to uncover the port 34. Also it will beobserved that the above-described movement of the piston 15 is sucient to clear it from the by-pass 17. When these operations take place, the pressure from the auxiliary passes through the ports 34, 36, and 12 into the brake-cylinder, thus applying the brakes. The pressure in the auxiliary expands into the brake-cylinder equal to the amount of train-line reduction, when the piston 15 and pin-valve 37 will close the port 34, and the further passage of pressure into the brake-cylinder is prevented. This movement is not suiiicient, however, to return the slide-valve to release position, and consequently the brake-cylinder pressure is IOO IIO

the train-line pressure, all of which will be understood. To rechaerge the auxiliary upon increasing the train-line pressure, the parts will assume the position shown in the drawing, and then the air will blow through the passages 1'7 and 18 and also through the passages 14 and 40, lifting the check-valve 41 in this operation. Now in this connection it will be observed that by providing the passage 40 and the valve 41 I am enabled very rapidly to recharge the auxiliary without in any way increasing the area of the ley-pass 17, which increase, if made, would disastrously affect the operation of the apparatus.
To eiect an emergency application,the trainline pressure is reduced to such an extent as to cause the piston to move up tightly against the diaphragm 10. This places the port in communication with the port `14 and the port 27in communication with the port 12. The instant that the ports 14 and 25 communicate the air from the train-line passes into the main cavity 24 and unseats the valve 30 and covers the openings 31, so that a portion of the train-line pressure blows through -the ports 14, 25, 24, 27, and 12 and into the brake-cylinder. The valve 30 is unseated by the train-line pressure, owing to the relatively large area which is exposed to the train-line pressure. This continues until 'the train-line pressure is reduced, lwhen the valve 30 is returned to its seat by the pressure from the auxiliary, whereupon the openings 31 are uncovered and the auxiliary pressure rushes in through the hollow1 stem 29, openings 31, and ports 27 and 12,l thus completely charging the brake-cylinder and eecting an emergency In this connection it will be observed that in eifecting an emergency application pressure is drawn both from the trainpipe and auxiliary.
In effecting a high-speed application of thel brakes-which is to say, when introducingv into the brake-cylinder an abnormal fluidpressure-the operation of the slide-valve and piston 15 is the same 'as that which takes i place during an ordinary emergency application of brakes. At this time, however, the devices associated with the case come into action. Let it be assumed, for example, that the high-speed brake is operated with one hundred pounds pressure in the auxiliary,
rwhich may be said to expand down to eighty pounds in the brake-cylinder. Let it also be assumed that sixty pounds pressure in the brake-cylinder is the ordinary working pressure for emergency applications. If the train is running at high speed, eighty pounds may be charged into the brake-cylinder without danger of sliding the wheels; but it is necessary to cut this pressure down as the speed of the train decreases, so that when the train reaches a comparatively slowvspeed the brake- The brakes are released by increasing 'cylindery will contain but ordinary emergency pressure say sixty pounds. To do this, the spring 53, through its cap-nut 47, is adjusted so that the piston will be moved up into the position shown in the drawing against all pressure at or under sixty pounds. Pressures over this will throw the piston 5() down. The spring '53 therefore. regulates the amount of pressure which is to be retained in' the cylinder. The adjusting-pin 52 should also be moved so as to limit the outward movement of the parts 50 and 51 to the desired degree-that is to say, to prevent outward movement of the hollow rod 51 suliicient to close all of the openings 55. Assuming, for example, that the pin 52 is adjusted so that if the piston 50 were moved outward under eighty pounds pressure in the brakecylinder one of the openings 55 would be uncovered, the others being covered by the extension 58 of the nut 56. lll/Then, therefore, eighty pounds are introduced into the brakecylinder, the brakes will be instantly applied with great force, and simultaneously this pressure will be communicated through the port 49 intov the case 45 and the piston 50 will be thrown down until its movement is stopped by the pin 52. This uncovers all of the openings 54, and it closes, let me say, all but one of the openings 55. The air then passes from the case 45 above the piston 50 through the openings 54 into the hollow stem 51 and out or' the exposed opening 55, after which it raises the check-valve 57 and passes back into the train-line. This relieves the pressure in the brake-cylinder, and consequently in the case 45, and the spring 53 then acts slowly to return the piston 50 to its seat on the extension 58. As this return movement begins the several openings 55 will be successively uncovered, and consequently the moment the pis- IOO ton 50 'begins to move upward the discharging capacity of the blow-down device will gradually increase, and pressure from the brakecylinder will be therefore gradually relieved until the spring 53 completely returns the piston 50 and closes the openings 54. This will take place, owing to the above-referred-to adjustment of the cap-nut47, exactly when sixty poundsA pressure is reached in the brake-cylinder. Of course the amount of pressure may be varied at will, the above figures being given merely for illustration. Thereforeby this mechanism the high-speed' application may be made under great pressure, and this will be automatically blown down to normal pressure in a certain predetermined time, which normal pressure may be retained the same as the usual emergency application until the train-line pressure is increased to throw the slide-valve back into release position. The pin 52 limits the time which the device takes to blow the brake-cylinder pressure` IIO pressure, and the spring 53, with its adjusting-nut 47, regulates the amount of pressure which is to be retained in the brake-cylinder. Several advantages are obtained by blowing down the high pressure of the brake-cylinder into the train-line. When an emergency application is madelby tight or sticking pistons,
spirit and scope thereof.
broken graduating-valve pins, or unnecessarily by the operator, the pressure lthereby wasted can be retained in the train-line and used to release and recharge and does not hinder the emergency application when made by the operator or by a broken train. It also permits of a greater amount of train-line pressure to enter the brake-cylinder when the operator merely discharges suiiicient pressure to start the brakes.
Various changes in the form, proportions, and minor details of my invention may be resorted to at will without departing from the Hence I consider myself entitled to all such variations as may lie within the intent of my claims.
