Title: Improvements in Valve Mechanism.
IPC: F01L5/14
Filed: 1911-12-12
Granted: 1912-10-24
Abstract: 27,901. Marks, E. C. R., [American Rotary Valve Co.]. Dec. 12. Rotary cylindrical valvcs.-A rotary valve for controlling the periodic flow of fluid to and from a chamber, applicable to engines, pumps, compressors, exhausters, and for other purposes, is described in connexion with a four-cylinder fourstroke-cycle internal-combustion engine. A valve casing across the cylinder heads is provided with a port 25 for each cylinder, and these ports are controlled by rotary tubular valve members 28 each comprising semicylindrical shells 29, 30, forming respectively inlet and exhaust compartments. The semicylindrical shells 29, 30 are pressed apart by springs 40 so as to fit tightly in the casing, and the cylinder ports 25 are formed in packing- pieces 24, which are held up to the valve by the pressure in the cylinder. The gases pass to or from the cylinder ports 25 through ports 81, 80 in the valve, which are set so that the cylinders fire in the order 1, 3, 4, 2. Adjacent ends of the inlet compartments 29 are open to the valve casing between the first and second cylinders, and between the third and fourth, and gases are admitted to these parts of the casing by connexions at 51. The adjacent ends of the exhaust compartments 30 are rigidly connected by hollow webs 45, 46, the webs 45 being twisted through 90 degrees to suit the relative angular positions of the different valve members, and all the webs fitting with a bearing engagement in the casing. The outer ends of the exhaust compartments 30 for the first and fourth cylinders are open, the middle connecting-web 46 is perforated, and the exhaust connexion to the valve casing is made at the three points 55. The valve spindle 57 is formed in one with the four exhaust members 30, and shoulders 76 are formed on the spindle 57 and the webs 45, 46 to keep the inlet members 29 in place. The valve is rotated at half the speed of the crank-shaft by gearing 70, 72, and is at the same time moved axially by a cam-gear 66, 64 in order to distribute the lubricant evenly and to prevent irregular wear.

Abstract: 24,167. Baumann, K. Oct. 24. Plant; casings.-In steam turbines wherein steam is tapped at an intermediate point for heating purposes or the like, the diaphragm separating the high-pressure part from the lowpressure part is bent in such a manner that the axial dimensions of the whole or of a portion of the exhaust space of the high-pressure part are substantially equal to the axial distance between the high and low pressure parts. Fig. 1 is a diagram showing the development of the portion of a turbine lying between the high and low pressure parts; Fig. 2 is a traverse section on the line II-II, Fig. 1. The diaphragm 3 is provided with bent portions 4, 5 set radially at an angle of about 130 degrees. Steam enters the high-pressure nozzles 7, acts on the highpressure blading 8, and passes to the space 11. At this point, a conduit 12 leads to the heating system through a port 13 and to the low-pressure stage nozzles 18 by way of a valve 21, conduit 16, and steam space 17. The nozzles 18 lead to the low-pressure blading 19. In a modification, two sets of high-pressure nozzles 7, 22, Fig. 4, are provided, which necessitates the provision of an additional steam space 24 as shown. In a further modification, provision is made for complete admission to the high-pressure stage. In a further modification, the webs 4, 5, Fig. 2, are arranged on vertical radii. In each case, the essential feature of the invention is that the portion of the highpressure exhaust space which is adjacent to the port leading to the heating-plant is made of the full dimensions in the axial direction.
