TANK VALVE.
APPLICATION FILED AUG. 29, 1905.
Patented Dec. 1, 1908.
Wjiwwases I is so mounted that it can be adjusted to of water passing through the valve chamber Henderson, in the county of Mills and State inlet pipe 12 extending through the bottom UNITED STATES PATENT o Ion Amtsh. Boeenss, oFnENDERsoN, IOWA.
TANK-VALVE Application filed August 29,
To allhbhom it may concern Be it known that 1, JAMES H. BOGGESS, a citizen of the United States, residing at of Iowa, have invented a certain new and useful Tank-Valve, of which the following is a specification. i
The objects of my invention are to provide'a float valve of simple, durable and inexpensive construction in which the valve various positions so that the height of the water in the tank can be accurately predetermined.
A further object is to provide means for forcing the valve out of engagement with the valve seat and for maintaining the valve out of engagement against any force so that the amount of downward pressure of the valve against the force of the water can be regulated by the adjustment of the weight on the lever for operating thevalve.
My inven ion consists in certain details in the construction, arrangement and combination of the various parts of the device,. whereby the objects contemplated are attained, as hereinafter more fully set forth, pointed out in my claim and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a sectional View of my valve mounted. in'an ordinary tank. .This view also shows the tank in section. Fig. 2 is a top view of the valve showing the lever for operating the valve broken away, and Fig. 3 ice, sectional view out on the line 3---3 of Fig. 1 looking downwardly.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, I have used the reference numeral 10 to indicate the tank in which the valve is mounted having the outlet pipe 11 and the portion thereof. The upper end of the pipe 12 has a screw threaded flange designed to screw'into the lower portion of the valve casing which also has a screw threaded opening 13 extending into its lower portion into which the screw threaded portion of the inlet pipe 12 is screwed. The valve casing, I have designated by the numeral 14 and this casing has a circular rounded flange 15 at the top portion of it which forms the valve seat and the upper portion of the valve chamber 16. Extending upwardly from one side of the valve casing are the arms 17 between which the valve lever 18 ilpecification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 1, 1908. 1905. Serial No. 276,760.
is pivotally mounted by the pin 19. EX tending upwardly from the valve casing at a point diametrically opposite to the arms 17 are two guiding arms 20 between which the lever 18 operates. These arms are designed to prevent the lever from any lateral movement as it is swung upwardly and downwardly on its pivot. There is an opening in the lever 18 midway between the arms 17 and the arms 20 which I have designated: by the numeral 21 into which the upper hooked tion of the valve stem 22 is passed.
The valve stem extends downwardly from the opening 21 through the openin 23 formed by the valve seat to a point a s ight distance above the screw threaded portion of the valve casing. Mounted on this stem 22 and. at a point where it can be easily thrown into or out of engagement with the valve seat by the operation of the lever 18 is the substantially round valve 24'. This valve is also capable of being moved up-.
por-
beneath the valve 24 is the valve socket 25 V in which the valve rests. the valve stem is screw threaded and a nut 26 is screwed into the screw threaded portion to support the valve 24 and the valve socket 25 m the desired position b 'sim 1y screwing or unscrewing the .nut. he val and valve socket can be raised or lowered so that the'distance the-lever 18' will have to be raised to close the valve will be increased or .The lower end of diminished byunscrewing or screwing the nut upon the stem. At the extreme free end of the lever 18, I have pivotally screwed a float 27 which is designed to be fioatcalupwardly by the water coming into the tank and toraise the lever as the water raises it and close the valve and shut off the Water supply, Slidingly mounted on the lever on that portion of it which is between the point of attachment of the float and the arms 20 is the weight 28 which is ad justably secured to this lever so that the lever will be forced downwardly to a greater or less degree as it is moved toward or away from the freeend of the lever 28. to adjust the weight so that the valve will be more or less readily opened as the water flows out of the tank.
Having thus described my invention, what 1. claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, therefor is-- The combination of a tank having a water This enables the operator outlet therein, a pipe extending up through on said pipe and at its upper end ter1ninat 15 vertically between the other pair of brine,
the bottom. of Elie tank and adapted to be connected with a sonrceof Water supply, a Valve casing having its'lower end threaded ing in an inwardly directed circular flange the under face of which forms a valve shat, arms extending upwardly and outwardly from the upper face of said circular flange, said arms being arranged in pairs and located on diametrically opposite portions ,Of S2ll(l flange and being; formed integral with said 1 flange, a lever pivotally connected bet-ween i one pair of said arms and arranged to swing own? ia herelry it is held. against inier l play, a float on the lever, a, wcig'm SlIClil, mcunted on said lever a stern dc ending from the lever into the casing, a ball valve detaclmhly secured 011 hhe slvem and located in {he 0 sing below the flange thereof, and a valve snake's also demehahly secured on me stern and ar ranged beneath the ball valve for the same to rest in. Des li'ieines, iown, August l3, 1;)04.
