SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 662,819, dated November 27, 1900- Application filed $eptemb9r 29, 1899- Scrial No. 732,123. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that we, SYLVAIN LOUIS RA- vIER and ARMAND JANET, citizens of the Republic of France, and residents of Paris, France, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Devices for Automatically Closing the Tubes of Water Tube Boilers in Case of Rupture, of which the following is a specification.
This invention has for its object to provide an efficient device for automatically and efficiently closing the tubes of water-tn be boilers in case of rupture whatever may be the condition ofthe tube ends. For this purpose we em ploy metal, such as lead orlead alloy, which is soft enough to apply itself closely to the edges of the openings of the tube ends even if they be irregular, or sufficiently firm non-metallic material, such as prepared leather, vulcanized rubber, fiber, or the like. We place such pieces in front of the openings of the tubes, so that in case of rupture of the tube they are caused by the current of Water or steam to apply themselves to the edges of the said openings, thus stopping the passage of water or steam into the tube.
In order to prevent the device from being melted or otherwise destroyed in case of overheating, we may employ a core of a metal which fuses with difficulty-such as bronze, steel, iron, or the likeand cover the same with soft metal or sufficiently firm non-me tallic material, as above said,.s0 that even in the unlikely case of the soft metal or material fusing or being disintegrated by overheating the hard portion or core will still stop the tube when necessary, although in a less perfect manner.
In order that this our invention may be the more readily understood and carried into practical effect, reference is hereby made to the accompanying drawings, wherein Figures 1, 2, 3, and -l-show different embodiments of the invention.
When the device is to be applied to a tube in a Du Temple boiler in accordance with this invention, the said device A may be composed of a body or core of a material fusing with difficulty and of a semispherical shape, connected with a rod B, of the same kind of material, and the said body or core may be covered with a cover of soft metal or material of corresponding shape and be maintained in front of the tube 0 by its rod engaging with the tube and by a bar D, mounted in front of the row of tubes, Fig. 1. Such bar may become useless by using convenient devices E E inside the tube forholding the rod B, Fig. 2.
When the device is applied to a tube in an Oriolle boiler, the constructional arrangement may be similar to that aforesaid, except that the bar D is omitted, as the device is provided with an extension F to rest against the cover or jacket Gr of the boiler or against a part formed on the cover or jacket, Fig. 3.
When the device according to this invention is applied to a tube in a Belleville boiler, the shape of the device can be that of a disk A with curved edges like aclack-valve, resting at its edge in a groove H, wherein it can move as.upon a hinge and which holds it' in place in front of the tube-opening jointly with the rod B on the device engaging with the tube 0 itself, Fig. 4:.
As aforesaid, these devices may be made entirely of soft metal or material or of a material fusing with difficulty and having soft metal or material applied thereto. In both cases the outer form can be the same for same types of boiler; but the device can be varied according to the. type of boiler to which the device is applied.
Having fully described our invention, what we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is i 1. In a device of the character set forth, th combination with the tube of a Water-tube boiler, of a rod, a suitable metal head on said rod, and means for normally holding said head in front of the opening of the tube, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. In a device of the character described, the combination with the tube of a water-tube boiler, of a rod movably inserted into one end of said tube, a suitably-shaped metal head 011 the end of said rod outside the tube and adapted to be applied against and completely close themouth of the latter, a coating of suitable material on said metal head and means for preventing the rod from completely leaving the tube, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof we have hereunto sign ed our names in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

EDWARD P. MAOLEAN, GEORGE E. LIGHT.
