Granted: 1915-01-26
Abstract: 2096. Naeder, J., and Naeder, M. Jan. 29, 1913, [Convention date]. Cam-actuated pumps; stroke, varying; valve-gear. - Comprises improvements in the distributing- valve and in the stroke-varying means of hydraulic transmission gears of the piston-and-cylinder type. A series of fixed radial cylinders 1, Fig. 1, are provided with pistons 3, which are pivoted to shoes 5, the shoes being retained in position against an eccentric disk 4 by two rings 7. The driving- shaft 2 carries an inclined cylinder or disk 9, upon which is mounted the disk 4, so that the eccentricity of the latter disk may be varied by the axial displacement of the cylinder 9. The stroke of the pistons 3 depends upon the eccentricity of the rotating disk 4. The cvlinder 9 is displaced by turning a band-wheel 13, which carries a toothed ring 12, gearing with pinions 14 on screwed spindles 16, 18. The direction of displacement from the mean position determines the direction of flow of liquid. The distributing valveplate 24 is mounted upon three short cranks 31, 32, 33, the central crank 33 being rotated by the driving-shaft 2, and the others rotating parallel thereto, so that the plate 24 receives a movement such that every point in it moves in a small circle with a radius equal to that of the crank 33. Wear of the plate 24 is thus equalized, and also diminished, since its movement is very small. Communication is thus made alternately with the suction and delivery chambers 26, 27. Fluidtightness at the valve face is secured by the provision of loose sleeves 35, around which are placed cup leathers.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Air Compressors, Vacuum Pumps, or like Apparatus.
Inventor: OSCAR RAYNAR WIKANDER
IPC: F04B39/00
Filed: 1915-02-23
Abstract: 2938. Wikander, O. R. Feb. 18, 1914, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Regulating delivery by opening suction and delivery valves.-Means are described for holding the inlet or discharge valves of an air compressor or exhauster, or a blowing - engine, open during a determined variable part of the exhaust or inlet stroke. The invention is stated to be applicable to the regulation of the discharge from a reciprocating water pump. In the compressor shown in Fig. 1, the suction valves 3 are provided with springs tending to close them, and with pistons 5 acted on by air passing to the cylinders 6 from an auxiliary tank 8. Air from the main tank 10 passes through a pipe 14 to the space below an adjustable spring-pressed piston 15, on which is secured a needle valve 12 controlling the entrance of air to the tank 8. Air leaks continuously into this tank through an aperture controlled by a needle valve 16, and passes to the atmosphere by a leak 9. If the consumption of air is increased, the consequent fall of pressure in the main tank allows the valve 12 to fall, so that the pressure in the tank 8 and consequently that behind the piston 5 are diminished. The suction valve thereupon closes more nearly at the beginning of the discharge stroke, and the amount of air supplied is automatically increased to equal the amount withdrawn. The pressure throughout the system is thus kept constant. Fig. 2 shows a compressor having its inlet valve 19 in the piston and a discharge valve 20 provided with a spring pressing it downwards and open at the back to air from the auxiliary tank 8, which is connected with the main tank by an opening controlled by a needle valve 24, and leaks to the atmosphere by a hole 9. The valve 24 is mounted on a piston 25 on which is an extension 26 in a chamber open to the atmosphere. Above this extension is a piston 29 open on its upper side to air conveyed by a pipe 36 from the main tank; an adjustable spring 34, surrounding the stem of the piston, tends to raise it. Diminution of pressure in the main tank, due to increased consumption, allows the spring 34 to raise the piston 29 from its contact with the extension 26; air from the main tank passing through a valved pipe 38 raises the needle valve 24 and allows more air to enter the tank 8, increasing the pressure therein and behind the exhaust valve 20 so that this valve closes earlier in the suction stroke and increases the air supply. Air leaks from the main reservoir to the tank 8 past a needle valve 41 and also past a valve 42 operated from a speed regulator, so that the tank pressure may be regulated according to the speed of the engine, and thus, indirectly, according to the power consumption. In multiple-stage compressors, each stage may have its own regulator.
