Inventor: SCHMIDT ARNOLD BARON VON
Filed: 1908-03-17
Granted: 1908-09-24
Abstract: 5965. Schmidt, Arnold, Baron von. March 18, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Compressed - air engines.-In a compressed - air machine, air under pressure enters a wedge-shaped valve chamber d by a nozzle g. The supply ports b<1>, b<2> enter the valve chamber at the side, and a diaphragm n pivoted on a pin e may oscillate to close either of them. In the position shown in Fig. 1, air passes by the port b<1> to the cylinder end I and forces the piston to the left, acting expansively when the edge p closes the port b<1>. At the same time there is compression in cylinder end II. Towards the end of the stroke the piston uncovers the port c, the port b<1> still being closed. Cylinder end I exhausts and the port b<1> is then opened by the motion of the piston due to its momentum. There is a rush of fluid and the pressure in chamber d falls, and this, combined with compression behind the diaphragm n, causes the diaphragm to move over for the reverse stroke.
