Title: Improvements in Valve-operating Means for Internal Combustion Pumps.
Filed: 1911-06-21
Granted: 1912-09-23
Abstract: 14,753. Siemens - Schuckertwerke. June 23, 1910, [Convention date]. Direct explosion apparatus. - The exhaust valves of internal - combustion pumps having reciprocating columns of liquid are operated by means of mechanism dependent upon the pressure of air in an air-vessel which constitutes a measure of the level of the liquid at any time. Fig. 1 shows a pump of the type described in Specification 18,595/07, fitted with an air-vessel 2 at the end of the play pipe 3, such air-vessel serving the double function of operating the exhaust valve 5 at the proper moment by means of the piston 11 connected therewith, and also of effecting the return movement of the liquid column after the water has come to rest on the outward stroke. The action of the piston 11 is regulated by means of a valve 9 in the pipe connecting the air-vessel to the cylinder 10. In a double-combustion-chamber apparatus of the type described in Specification 19,341/07, the valves 5 are partly controlled by floats and spring-catch devices which only allow the valves of either chamber to open when the water level in that chamber is near the bottom, the effect being that successive pressure increases in the air-vessel 2 cause the valves of the respective chambers to open alternately. The invention may be applied to a two-stroke-cycle pump such as is described in Specification 14,470/11.
