Granted: 1906-09-27
Abstract: 26,797. Thompson. W. P., [Fenwick, E. T.]. Dec. 22 Gas and like engines, starting, and pumps for. Compressed air, which may be used for starting internal-combustion engines as shown in the Figure, or for other purposes, is stored in a reservoir 6, by a pump 10, 13, operated by the explosions in the motor cylinder 1. To charge the reservoir-6, the cock 7 is closed, while communication between the pump and cylinder is established by opening the cock 9. The explosions in the cylinder 1 drive the rigidly-connected pistons 11, 15 upward, thus forcing air, which has previously entered the chamber 13 by way of the non-return valve 22, through the non-return valve 17 and pipe 24 to the reservoir 6. To prevent the piston 15 from being thrown violently against the cover of the pump chamber 13, a projection 20 on the piston is arranged to enter a recess 19 in the pump cover and thus throttle the air supply to the reservoir. During the latter part of the upward stroke of the pistons, air passes to the reservoir through the passage 21 in the piston pro-. jection 20. The passage 21 also prevents the formation of a vacuum behind the projection during the down-stroke of the pistons. When starting the engine, communication between the cylinder and pump is cut off, and compressed air is admitted to the cylinder during the out-stroke of the piston by opening the cock 7. Gases of any description may be compressed into the reservoir 6
