Title: Improvements in and relating to Telescopic Engines.
Inventor: SCHNEIDER WILLIAM
Filed: 1901-06-17
Granted: 1901-10-19
Abstract: 12,322. Schneider, W. June 17. Compound central- valve-engines.- Re- lates to telescopic compound engines in which the high- pressure cylinder carries a piston and reciprocates in the low-pressure cylin- der, and works over a stationary piston carried by a fixed abutment; and re- lates more particu- larly to that type of telescopic engine in which the valve casing is arranged axially within the cylinders. The object is to enable the operation of the engine to be changed from com- pound to simple, and vice versÔ, with- out varying the travel of the main distributing - valve. Reference is made in the Provisional Specification to Specification No. 8913, A.D. 1901. Fig. 1 shows in elevation a portion of a twin road- vehicle motor, and Fig. 3 a section at right-angles to Fig. 1 through one of the sets of cylinders and valves. In these Figures, c is the piston carried by the high-pressure cylinder b and reciprocating in the low-pressure cylinder a, and d is the station- ary piston over which the high-pressure cylinder works. The abutment h carrying the piston d contains the steam receiver and central valve-chest in which works the main tubular distributing-valve 11. The main valves 11 are operated through arms 12 and rods 10 by eccentrics 8 on a counter- shaft 3 driven at the same rate as the engine shaft 2 by toothed wheels. By means of the quick- threaded screw 14 and sliding collar 17, one of these toothed wheels can be adjusted angularly in relation to the crank shaft, so as to shift the eccentrics and thereby effect reversal of the engine. Steam is supplied to the engine from a chamber i in the low-pressure cylinder head, and thence passes into the annular chamber l in the abutment h, whence it is distributed to the cylinders by the joint action of the main valve 11 and an internal stationary valve by which the change from com- pound to simple working and vice versÔ can be effected. The stationary change valves each con- sists of two piston heads 29, 30 and a tubular portion 31, all connected to crossheads 34. These crossheads can be raised or lowered, in order to adjust the valves, by turning the shaft 42, the extent of motion being limited by fixed stops 36, 36. The exhaust from the low-pressure cylinder passes through passages k, 28 to the outlet 24, and, when the engine is working simple, that from the high-pressure cylinder by ports 21, 25.
