Title: Reversible Rotary Steam Engine
Inventor: ELRICK GEORGE
Filed: 1906-04-24
Granted: 1907-06-24
Abstract: 9644. Elrick, G. April 24. Rotary engines combined with turbines; movableabutment type having abutments sliding axially. The wheel b, Fig. 1, has an annular chamber V on each side containing a plate piston c, and rotates in a divided casing a, a. The periphery of the wheel is provided on each side with a set of cavities III, Figs. 1 and 2, and corresponding cavities IV are provided in the casing ; the cavities IV are separated by a flange VI on the wheel, as shown. The exhaust steam from the annular chambers V exhausts through curved ducts m, m<1>, Fig. 4, and enters the casing cavities at n, Fig. 2. The steam is stated to expand in the cavities III, IV and thereby cause the wheel to rotate. The abutments each consist of a cut-off valve f, Fig. 4, mounted telescopically on an abutment valve e, which is reciprocated by a cam I acting through an arm IX and a rod 'VIIIWhen the abutment is withdrawn from the wheel to allow the piston c to pass, say upwards in Fig. 4, a charge of steam is admitted to the interior of the valve e from the supply pipe h through the port g when in register therewith. At the same time, the cut-off valve f by abutting against the back part of the annular soace f<1> is moved on the valve e, so that the port XVIII therein registers with the port arm in the abutment valve e. As the abutment is returned, the steam in the valve passes through the ports J, K, and XVIII into the annular chamber. The valve e, however, continues to move forwards after the part f has reached the wheel, so that port XVIII is ultimately closed, as shown, and the steam is cut off. The guide-pistons XV are cushioned by steam in recesses in the valve. Steam is admitted to the engine in the reverse direction by adjusting the lever q, so that the rod X closes the port K, and a corresponding rod opens the corresponding port on the opposite side of the valve. The same movement also opens the exhaust port m<1> and closes the exhaust port m. The engine can be stopped by setting the lever q half way over. Lignum vitµ packing-pieces pressed out by springs are used in the spaces II, Fig. 2, in the wheel casing, and on the edges of the plate pistons c, and other parts, as shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 6 shows the arrangement of valves and pipes to start the engine. The stop valve r supplies steam through a pipe r<3> to the engine. A branch pipe t<2> is fitted with a three-way cock s, whereby steam may be directed through one or other of the two pipes t to the ports t<3>, Fig. 4, to supply the wheel casing with steam for starting the engine.
