Filed: 1910-06-10
Granted: 1910-10-06
Abstract: 14,113. Beck, F. May 6, [Convention date]. Movable - abutment type; valves, cut-off.-A piston e carrying an outwardly - sliding abutment i is seated loosely on a crank which it drives by its rotation round the internal surface of the casing. By arranging the abutment below the piston, it relieves the lower part of the casing of the wear due to the weight of the piston. Motive fluid is admitted from a chest 1 through a port 5<1> in a disk 5 and a slot 4 in the head 2. A disk 7, actuated by a crank or the like so as to roll in the chest 1, acts as a cut-off valve, the period of cut-off being controlled by the governor or other means rotating the disk 5 so that its port 5' occupies different positions along the slot 4. Thus minimum steam-admission occurs when the port 5<1> coincides with that end of the slot 4 nearest the centre of the chest 1, and vice versa.
