TRIPLE VALVE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 16, 1909.
Application filed January 15, 1904. Serial No. 189,116.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WALTER V. TURNER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Wilkinsbnrg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have inventeda certain new and useful Improvement in Triple Valves, of which improvement the following is a specification.
This invention relates to triple Valve devices for automatic fluid pressure brakes, and has for its object to provide an improved means embodied .in said valve device for securing a localdischarge of train pipe air at each triple valve in service applications of the brakes and thereby accelerate the action of said valves throughout the train.
In the standard air brake apparatus, as at present in use, a service application of the brakes is produced by making" a gradual reduction in train pipe pressure at the train pipe discharge valve on the locomotive, consequently all of the compressed air whichis vented from the train'pipe to produce the desired reduction in service application must be d-ischar ed at the front end of the-train pipe, there y causing a very slow reduction in pressure at the rear end of the train, due to the expansion of the air toward the forward end, and a correspondingly SlOW action of the rear triple valves in service applications, especially on long trains. This is an objectionable feature of the apparatus in practice, and my improvement is designed to overcome this defect by providing a triple valve device having means for auto- .matically venting fluid under pressure from the train pipeloca-lly upon each car in service applications, and thereby hasten, by the well known serial action, the movement of each succeeding triple valve, and the complete service application of the brakes.
I will now describc'anore in detail a preferred form of triple valve device embodying my improvement, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which Figure l is a.;lo'ngitndinal section oi? a quick-action triple valve device embodyingv my invent-ion, the lower part of the check valve case being shown in elevation and the the brakes.
parts being indicated in full release-posi-" tion; Fig. 2 a broken longitudinal section of the triple valve device with the parts in the position for service application; Fig. 3 a similar view showing the parts in lap posi tion; Fig. 4 a plan View of the valve seat;-
auxiliary reservoir, piston 4, stem 8', main slide valve 9, raduating stem 6, and spring H I. Anfadditional spring 27 to be compressed in emergency applications only, may
also be used and bears against a cup 28 Sun rounding the collar 30 of the graduating stem 6, and provided with a shoulder 29, which is engaged by and forms a stop for the said collar 30 in service applications of The graduating stem 6 is preferably made slightly longer than in the present standard triple valve, for the purpose of engaging the stem 5 of the iston, so that the graduating sprino 7 wil be slightly compressed until the cellar 30 engages the shoulder 29 when the valve is In service position, as
shown in Fig. 2, and will expand and move the piston and valve to lap position as shown in Fig. 3 when the pressures equalize on opposite sides of the piston in a service application.
The main slide valve is provided with emergency port 2 1, service port 11, local train pipe discharge ports 12 and 15, and" exhaust cavity 10. In the valve seat the service port 16 leads to the brake cylinder passage 23, and the port 19 communicates with the exhaust in the usual way. I also provide the local train'pipe vent ports 18 and 17 of small capacity relative to the service port, the port 18 leading from the train pipe passage 1 and the port 17 being shown as venting to the brake cylinder, aL
though a will be evident that it might lead to the atmosphere or' elsewhere if desired. The main slide valve 9 is provided with the usual emergency port 24, exhaust cavity-10,
and quick action portv 26 for supplying pressure to port 21 leading to the emergency piston 22, when the valve is in emergency position. In the main slide valve are-also located the service part 11 and the local train pipe discharge ports 12 and 15 adapted-to register with the respective ports 16,
17 and 18 of the valve seat when the valve is in service position, as shown in Fig. 2.
on the main slide valve 9 is mounted the auxiliary or graduating slide valve 13 moving with the stem 8 of the main piston and having the-usual lost motion with respect to the main slide valve. In the graduating valve is formed the cavity 14 for connecting the local train pipe discharge ports 13 and 15 of the main slide valve when in service position.
The operation of my improved valve de-' vice is as follows: The parts being in full release position, as indicated-in Fig. 1, air under pressure from the train pipe flows through the feed groove around the triple piston and charges the auxiliary reservoir in the usual way; when a gradual reduction of train pipe pressure is made at the service discharge port of the engineers brake valve on the locomotive, the first triple valve piston is then actuated by the preponderanceof auxiliary reservoir pressure to move rear- --wardly toward service position, the first part of the movement drawing the gradeating slide valve to the position for connecting ports 12 and 15 of the main slide valve through cavity 14, and opening the service application port 11 of the main valve. The head of the triple piston stem thenengages the main slide valve 9 and the further movement of the piston carries the main slide valve and graduating valve with it to the service position, as indicated in Fig. 2, in which the graduating stem 6 is actuated by the stem 5 to compress the graduating spring 7 an amount slightly reater begin to open at the same time or preferablyslighitly in advance of the opening of the service port, and remain open to their full capacity until the service port is fully open as shown. As soon as the ports 12 and 15 of the main valve register with ports 17 and 18 the bra with the exhaust port 19 through the cavity 10 of the main slide valve.
The emergency action of the device caused in the valve seat air from the train pipe begins to discharge to the brake cylinder,
thus creating a local reduction of train pipe this is to hasten theaction of each succeeding trip'le'valve to the extent-=ofthe local venting of the train pipe at each valve, and] to secure a positive and prom t movement of each valve to' fully open it service port from the auxiliary reservoir to the brake cylinder and slightly compress the graduating spring 6. The relative capacities of the local train pipe discharge ports and the service application port are so calculated as to insure a more rapid rate of reduction of the auxiliary reservoir pressure to the brake cylinder than of the trai'n'pipe through the local vent ports after the service train pipe discharge port at the engineers brake valve has closed and the result of this is that, following immediately after the automatic closing of the train pipe discharge at the en gineers brake valve, the pressure oftli'e auxiliary reservoir is reduced to substantially equal that of the train pipe, and the piston,
then'being balanced as to fluid pressure the graduating spring 7 movesthe piston and graduating valve 13 to hip osition,'see Fig. 3, thereby first cutting oti communication between the local train pipe discharge ports 12 and 15,'and then closing the service port 11 through the main slide valve. If the additional spring 2'1 is omitted and the graduating stem 6 is made shorter, so that the spring 7 is not compressed when the main slide valve moves to service position, itwill be apparent that the auxiliary reservoir pressure will diminish by discharge to the brake cylinder until slightly below that of the train pipe, when the train pipe pressure will operate to move the piston and graduating valve to lap position "in a manner similar to that of the present standard triple valve device, and if desired such a constructicn may he used with vmy improvement. Further service reductions may be made in the same way for increasing the brake cylinder pressure. The release of the brakes is brought about in the usual manner by increasingthe train pipe pressure and moving the piston and main slide valve to the full release position shown in Fig. 1, in which re cylinder port 16 co municates by a sudden reduction in train pipe pres,
sure is substantially the. same as with the present standard apparatus, both springs 7 and 27 being compressed as the piston moves to emergency position.
In order to prevent any tendency of the piston and valve to go to emer ency pose tion in service applications on s ort trains,
due to the local train pipe discharge, the graduating port 11 in the main slide valve is provided with a foot or extension 25 in the face of the valve, so that the first move ment of the main valve from its service position toward emergency position operates to cut off the local train pipe discharge, while at the same time maintaining the service port from the auxiliary reservoir to the brake cylinder open to its full capacity. The train pipe discharge being closed the auxiliary reservoir pressure will then reduce to the brake cylinder with suflicient rapidity to prevent further movement of the valve toward emergency position, as will be readily understood. Any suitable form of main valve and auxiliary valve means, having the desired functions, may be employed for producing these results.
