Title: Improvements in Electric Ignition Devices for Internal Explosion Engines.
Inventor: GARDNER EDWARD
Filed: 1900-07-19
Granted: 1901-07-19
Abstract: 13,021. Gardner, E., Gardner, T. H., and Gardner, L. July 19. Gas and like engines, igniting in. In engines, such as that described in Specification No. 18,210, A.D. 1897, an electric igniting-device, such as that shown in Figs. 3 and 4, is used. Within the ignition chamber 3, Fig. 4, are two electrodes 1, 2, the former being a spindle fixed in the wall of the chamber, and the latter a crank-pin on a rotary shaft 4. Mounted on the shaft 4, outside the chamber, is a crank-plate 5, having a pin 6 on which is pivoted an inertia lever 7, the upper end of which is connected by a spring 8 to a pin 9 on the lever plate, or to the frame. Normally the electrode 2 is pressed by gravity, or by the action of the spring 8, against an adjustable stop, away from the electrode 1. It is caused to make contact with the latter by means of a rock-lever 11, actuated by one of the engine eccentrics, and having an arm 12 which trips the inertia lever 7, bringing the electrode 2 again away from the electrode 1 to break the circuit, and cause the ignition, when the arm 12 escapes from the lever 7, as shown in Fig. 3. To prevent premature sparking, external electrodes, forming part of the same circuit, are caused to make contact only just before the circuit is broken by the electrodes 1, 2. This arrangement is also intended to reduce the amount of current absorbed at each ignition. In a modification described in the Provisional Specification, the electrodes 1, 2 are normally in contact.
