Granted: 1905-01-12
Abstract: 25,861. Sonderegger, C. Dec. 9, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Gas-producers.-A gas engine, working in combination with a producer, forces a charge of air into the producer during the in-stroke or the compression stroke and receives a charge of gas during the out-stroke or the suction stroke. The gas valve being controlled to alter the speed or stop the engine, the pressure in the producer increases as the cut-off is made earlier, and a compressed charge remains in the producer when the engine is stopped and serves to start the engine. The invention is applicable to both two and four stroke cycle engines, and is described in connection with a twostroke cycle reversing-engine, in which the piston overruns a central exhaust port, as shown at a, Fig. 1, in connection with a single acting engine. The air is supplied by a compression pump to the cylinder through a valve v, and part of this air is forced through the non-return valve v<2> to the producer o. The gas valve v<3> is worked by a double taper cam n, Fig. 3, which is adjusted by a handlever h or by the governor.

Title: New or Improved Means for Regulating the Supply of Air in Gas Producers
Inventor: BROMHAM FREDERIC JAMES HEAD
Filed: 1907-06-24
Granted: 1908-01-09
Abstract: 14,539. Bromham, F. J. H. June 24. Producers.-The air supply to gas-producers is automatically varied as the grate becomes obstructed by clinkers. In one arrangement, a damper in the air-pipe is suspended from a vertical rod 5, which is alternately raised and dropped by means of a cam 2 attached to a clockwork - driven spindle 1, this operation taking place during the time between two or more successive clearings of the grate. In a modification, the damper is controlled by a cord passing over a roller loosely mounted on a sleeve screwed to the spindle. A spring is attached to the sleeve and normally holds the roller against rotation by means of a projecting stud. During the rotation of the spindle, an extension of the spring engages with a tumbling device which releases a counterweight lever adapted, in its turn, to release the loose roller from its engagement with the stud. The damper then returns to its normal position, the movement of the roller being controlled by means of a stop. The spindle is rotated by means of a pinion 40, Fig. 5, the teeth of which engage with one of several rings of perforations in a disk 37 carried by the spindle. A convenient form of damper consists of a portion of a hollow cylinder mounted in bearings in a vessel containing liquid.
