Title: Improvements in Valve-actuating Mechanism for Reversible Internal combustion Engines.
Inventor: DUNLOP JAMES
Filed: 1910-07-05
Granted: 1910-12-22
Abstract: 16,014. Dunlop, J. Jan. 5. Reversing. - In a four-stroke-cycle engine having separate valve shafts for operating the admission and exhaust valves, the gear-wheels F, G on these shafts are driven by clutch members B, which are fixed directly to the shafts and are adapted to engage automatically in the correct position for backward running when the engine is reversed. For example, the wheel on the admission-valve shaft may rotate through 90 degrees, and that on the exhaustvalve shaft through 270 degrees, relatively to the respective shafts. According to the Provisional Specification, admission and exhaust eccentrics on the same shaft may be driven by clutch members arranged similarly. Specifications 21,073/02, 19,415/04, 19,856/05, 12,070/06, and 12,417/09 are referred to.

Granted: 1910-12-01
Abstract: 19,162. Gruss, L. R. Aug. 15. Composite and pneumatic springs. - Consists in fitting a telescopic pneumatic wheel - spoke with a double differential piston operating in the tubular rim and hub members of the spoke. The rim member 14 is formed with a chamber 13 closed by a gland 15. The hub member 8 is fitted with a cylindrical chamber 18 closed by a gland 19. The small piston normally beds against the bottom of the chamber 13, and the large piston against the gland 19. The pistons, gland 19, and chamber 13 are fitted respectively with valves 27, 22, 26, 21, which operate so that an air cushion is maintained in the chambers. The valve 26 communicates with the atmosphere at 25 through a spiral groove 24 in the wall of the cylinder 18. The rod 11 connecting the pistons is fitted with a collar, between which and the gland 19 a spring is placed to cause a quick return of the pistons. For heavy vehicles, the collar may be fitted with a one-way valve 20<a>, which causes reduction of air pressure above the collar and provides additional resistance to inward motion of the pistons.

[Cognate Applications, 5839/12 and 8544/12.] Change-box motions. -Drop-boxes are moved positively in both directions solely by lever- and-rod devices, which are operated by pattern mechanism of the crank - wheel type. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, which is adapted to operate a drop - box with four compartments, t h e drop-box is actuated by bell - crank levers and rods connected by a rod a<2> to a lever a pivoted at a<1> to a lever b pivoted at b<1>. The lever a is operated, so as to move the dropbox one compartment, by a thin link m connected to a lever a<3>, which is pivoted at b<1> and is operated by a vibrator lever e. The lever b is turned to move the pivot a\ so as to move the drop-box two compartments, by means of another vibrator lever e. A drop-box at the other side of the loom may be operated by additional levers, which are arranged and operated similarly to the levers a, b and are connected to their drop-box through rods and levers n, n<1>, n<3>, n<4>, n<5>. The links m may be constructed as shown in Figs 6 and 7, each link consisting of bent side-plates 10, -11 having holes to receive the reduced ends 13<a>, 13<b> of pivot-pins 13.
