Title: Improvements in or relating to Rotary Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: NIELD DOUGLAS
IPC: F02B53/00
Filed: 1913-05-17
Granted: 1914-03-26
Abstract: 11,522. Nield, D. May 17. Movable - abutment type; working-fluid supply.-In a rotary internal-combustion engine, the combustion chambers b, having suitablyoperated inlet valves m and sparking-plugs n, are enclosed at each end by sliding or hinged abutments c. Springs c<3>, Fig. 4, tend to keep the abutments c in contact with a piston d which has two heads d<1> acting as cams to lift the abutments. The first head d<1> clears the first abutment c and compresses the charge in the chamber b, where it is ignited, the second abutment c being then maintained in its raised position by a cam l on the piston shaft, Fig. 3, actuating through a lever k a spring-pressed plunger k<1> which engages for the proper period a quadrant c' on the abutment spindle c<1>, Fig. 4. Exhaust ports e are provided, the second head d' acting as a scavenging-piston while the second abutment c is held in its raised position. Air-inlet valves p may be provided to prevent the formation of a vacuum behind the scavenging-piston. The scavenging- piston may serve also to draw in the charge, and if necessary may operate as a working- piston in another position.

The shaft 3, Fig. 1, of the lower disk 2 is mounted in a swivel bearing 4, and carries a wheel 10 gearing with a stationary internal wheel 11, the lower end of the shaft being mounted in a bearing 5 secured to a bevelwheel 6 gearing with a wheel 8 on the driving- shaft 9. The feed-shoot 13 is pivoted on an horizontal axis 14 at the end of a vertical pivot 15 in a bracket on the trough 16, and carries a yoke 18 engaged by a damsel 17 secured to the top of the disk 2, springs 48 effecting the return movement of the shoot. A sweeper 19 carried by the lower disk, and which may be spring-pressed, discharges the ground material from the trough 16. The grinding- members may be arranged on their sides, the gears 6, 8 being then dispensed with and the bearing 5 secured directly to a belt-driven pulley. In a modification shown in Fig. 3, the step bearing 20 of the shaft 3 is adjustable on the gear 21 so that the throw of the disk 2 can be varied. The bearing 20 may be secured to a slotted member 22 on the wheel 21. A wheel 24 on the shaft 3 gears with a wheel 29 on a shaft 30, which is driven by bevelgearittg from the driving-shaft and carries a wheel 34 gearing with the wheel 21. The wheel 24 is cupped to serve with a member 26 as a bearing for the swivel 2-5, and radial projections 28 on the wheel engage in slots 26 in the swivel. The platform 37, which carries a bearing 35 for supporting the wheel 24, is adjustable vertically on pillars 36 by means of nuts 39, which are connected by a chain 42 and operated simultaneously by a hand-wheel 41. The feed-trough 13 is carried by a casing 45 secured to the pillars 36, and, preferably, springs are interposed between the casing 45 and the casing 43 of the disk 2. The disk 1 is locked in position by means of hand-screws 44 bearing partly on the casing 45 and partly on the disk casing 46, and the casing 46 may be hinged to allow it and the disk 1 to be swung aside for cleaning &c. The platform 37 has walls 47 to form an oil-bath for the gearing 24, 29. Specifications 14,733/12 and 14,559/13 are referred to.

Granted: 1914-11-05
Abstract: 10,229. Christie, P. M. April 25. Drum or barrel winding-machines; winches; driving - gear.-Driving - gear for drums or winches is arranged so that the load may be moved slowly from its initial position, then raised at a gradually increasing speed until near the end of the journey, and finally raised at a gradually decreasing speed to the delivery point. Means for stopping the load at any point without stopping the engine also are provided. The apparatus comprises a drum 4 connected by belt reversing-gear to a countershaft, which is geared by friction change-speed gear 17 to a driving-shaft 20. To change speed, the screwed rod 23 is manipulated to position the disk 18, which is mounted on a shaft feathered inside the shaft 20. Either of the pulleys 9, 10 may be clutched to the countershaft by moving it axially through the medium of a loop 14 and lever 15 working over a setting- rack. The axial movement of either pulley causes the inner rim to press against the tails of pawls on the member 13, thus engaging their front ends with slots on the pulleys. Springs on the pulleys assist the de-clutching movement. The load drum may be supported by a conveniently-placed pawl when neither pulley is clutched to the shaft.
