Granted: 1908-10-15
Abstract: 5401. Freborg, C. March 10. Compressed-air engines; vacuum engines.-The engines are used chiefly for driving automatic musical instruments. Figs. 1 and 3 show the general arrangement of the engine, which is constructed entirely of metal and has three cylinders mounted side by side and provided with common end plates 4, 5 connected by bolts 6. The cylinders, crank - shaft 17, and the transmitting - mechanism are supported by longitudinal frame members 7, 8, 9, which are tied together at the base and rear by other frame members. The crank-shaft contains three cranks set at 120 degrees, and transmits power to one of the shafts 73, 75 when a clutch element 55 is in engagement with a pinion 51 or a sprocket-wheel 53. The clutch element 55 is interlocked with the main admission valve 65 by means of a lever 61, which is pivoted to the clutch arm at 62 and has an upwardly projecting end engaging pins 70 on the rotary valve, so that the clutch is operated only when the valve approaches the limit of its travel in either direction. A V-shaped slot 67 in the valve varies the admission of fluid from the reservoir as the valve is rotated. The main admission pipe 29 leads to a flat chamber 28, adjacent to the cylindrical valve chamber 30 and suitably apertured for the admission of the fluid thereto. The valve chamber is divided into two parts by a wall 37 and communicates with the atmosphere at each end and by means of a port 41. Each cylinder has pipes 31, 33 connecting its front and rear ends respectively to the valve chamber, so that pressure fluid is admitted alternately to each end as the corresponding valve 43 is rotated by means of links connecting it to the corresponding crank. Each valve contains a pair of exhaust ports 48, 49 diametrically opposite to one another, and a single admission port at rightangles to the exhaust ports. The exhaust ports from each valve communicates with the nearest of the three exhaust outlets of the valve chamber in each case. During the operation of playing, the music is unrolled from the shaft 75 and rolled on to the shaft 73. When the handle 68 of the main valve is in the extreme left-hand position, the main valve is closed and the clutch is in position for driving the shaft 73. When the handle is moved towards the right, the shaft is rotated. When the music is finished, the handle is ,moved to the extreme right-hand position, and thus opens the valve fully, and at the same time reverses the clutch so that the roll is rewound on the roller 75 with a quick-return motion.

The position of the stops J carried by the chain is adjusted by operating the wheels F from a shaft U, the position being indicated on graduated wheels X. The shaft C carries at one end a crank, the pin P of which operates a beltoperating rod R. This rod actuates a rack N<2>,. Fig. 8, which drives a pinion B<I>, keyed to a casting C' carrying screw stops E<1>; these engage a lever F<1>, pins H<1> on which engage stops J<1> on the lever I which shifts the belt and operates the clutch. The shaft D<1>, on which the pinion B' is mounted, is connected to a weight which it lifts in its initial movement and which afterwards assists the movement of the shaft and ensures the completion of the movement of the belts and clutches. The feed may be obtained by gearing operated by the movement of the lever D, which operates the cushioning weights or springs. When wire ropes are used instead of chains, such ropes are wound on drums Y<1>, Fig. 5. The shaft C has screwed threads B<2> of the same pitch as the grooves in the drum, so that as the wire is wound or unwound to adjust the position of the stops, the rope will remain parallel with the guideways of the machine.
