Title: Process and Arrangements for Transmission of Power by Liquids under Pressure for Automobiles.
Inventor: HUGO LENTZ
IPC: B60K17/10
Filed: 1909-01-11
Abstract: 1909643. Lentz, H. Jan. 13, 1908, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Movable - abutment type ; valve-gear. - In hydraulic power-transmission systems for automobiles, the pressure liquid is supplied by a pump of the Roots'-blower type, and drives the rear axles independently by a pair of rotary engines, the speed and direction of the vehicle being controlled by a piston valve in the pump casing. The shaft a of a petrol or other motor carries a toothed drum b gearing with a similar drum c, both drums closely fitting a hollow chamber within the pump-body e. The casing e is provided with a suction passage f and a delivery passage g, both opening into a cylinder h, within which is arranged the distributing- valve i operated by a rod o. The valve has two collars j, k fitting closely in the cylinder h, and a central passage communicating with a transverse passage n. Two ports p, q in the side of the cylinder h communicate with the supply and exhaust sides of the duplicated rotary engines v, w driving the divided rear axle. In the position of the valve shown in Fig. 3, the pump forces liquid through the passage g and the port p into the engine, the liquid returning through the port q and the passage f. If the valve is moved to the left, the circulation of the liquid is throttled, giving a diminished speed to the vehicle. When the port q is closed, the port p still having a small opening on opposite sides of the collar j, as shown in Fig. 7, the liquid is locked in the engines and acts as a brake, while the pump is short-circuited, the liquid passing behind the collar j and through the passage n to the opposite side of the pump.

Title: Improved Method of and Means for Automatically Varying the Volume of the Compression Chamber in Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: BEAUMONT EUGENE GUY EUSTON
IPC: F02B75/04
Filed: 1909-01-27
Granted: 1909-08-05
Abstract: 2015. Beaumont, E. G. E. Jan. 27. Cylinders. - The volume of the combustion chamber is varied automatically according to the load on the engine by means of a loose piston B, which is loaded by a spring so constructed that it exerts a pull, during normal working, equal to the average pressure on the piston throughout a normal four-stroke cycle, and, when the charge is decreased to develop, for instance, half power, it exerts a pull equal to the average pressure throughout the cycle at half power. Hydraulic dash pots are employed to keep the piston B approximately stationary throughout each cycle, but to admit of its automatic adjustment as the load varies. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the spring d<1> acts through a lever D on the piston B, their movements being controlled by the passage of liquid through adjustable orifices a<3>, b<2>. In an alternative arrangement, the spring acts upon the piston B through a column of liquid in a pipe with an adjustable restriction. With the latter arrangement, several pistons may be loaded by the same springs, and the column of liquid may have a non-return valve with a small by-pass. In larger engines a single cylinder may be provided with several pistons B.

Abstract: 13,010. Johnson, C. H. June 3. Dynamometers, rotary transmission. -In a torsiometer provided with the usual sleeves B, C attached at one end to the shaft A and provided at the other end with disks E, G respectively, the relative rotation between which is to be measured, the disk E carries a resistance E<2> in circuit through slip rings and brushes H<3> with a battery H and an adjustable resistance H'. A contact arm G<2>, attached to the disk G, is adapted to move over the resistance E<2> and to take up a position depending upon the torque being transmitted. This arm can be put into circuit with a volt-meter J<3> and the battery through switches J<1>, J. In operation, the switches J, J<1> are moved so as to throw the voltmeter J<3> into circuit with the resistance E<2>, and the resistance H<1> is adjusted until the needle of the volt-meter moves to the end of its scale. The switches are then moved so as to connect the volt-meter with the contact arm G<2>, and readings giving the resistance of the two portions of the wire E<2> between its terminals and the point of contact of the arm G<2> are obtained. The switches may, however, be dispensed with. If the source of current is a dynamo driven from the shaft, a reading giving the power transmitted may be obtained. The wire E<2> may be so inclined to the contact - arm G<2> as to increase the resistance for a given movement of the arm, or the resistance may be made of a series of sections each of a convenient unit resistance.
