Patent GB-191204461-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Driving and Reversing Gear.
Inventor: BATEMAN RICHARD WILKINSON
IPC: F16H3/00
Filed: 1912-02-22
Granted: 1913-01-09
Abstract: 4461. Bateman, R. W., and Bateman, L. H. Feb. 22. Planing. - For reversing planing and like machines, frictional reversing - means are first put into operation, positive driving-means being automatically brought into operation after reversal. The machine table a, Fig. 1, carries tappets b, c which operate rollers on pins f, g on a cam-plate e and communicate motion to a shaft r; a third one-way tappet d operates an arm j and gives the shaft r a further movement to give a positive drive on the cutting- stroke only. The shaft r communicates motion to a shaft w, Fig. 4, connected at each end to a sleeve x on the boss y of the fly-wheel z; the inward movement of the sleeve x operates, through toothed wheels and levers, a spindle 16 carrying a pinion 17 which tightens the strap on the driving-pulley 21, the strap on the corresponding pulley at the other end of the shaft w being simultaneously released. Further movement of the sleeve x causes a pin upon the fly-wheel z to come into positive engagement with the pulley 21. The strap clutches are of the type described in Specifications 24/10, [Class 80 (ii), Gearing. Variable-speed &c.], and 26,476/10. In a modified construction for use on large machines, the shaft r operates rods 38, Fig. 11, carrying racks which operate through bevel wheels 43, 44 a sleeve 45 which gears with the flywheel-shaft through wheels 46, 47. The bevel-wheel 43, and the pinions connecting it with the rack-rod 38, are carried upon a member 50 gearing with a wheel 53 upon a sleeve loose upon the fly-wheel boss; an extension of this sleeve carries a pinion 55, Fig. 13, which drives a wheel 56 having cam slots for engaging a rod 12 which operates the friction - clutch. Under normal running, the wheel 56 runs round the wheel 55 without rotation but operation of the rack rod 38 gives a differential motion which cause$the wheel 56 to turn partly upon its axis and actuate, by means of cam-slots, rods 12 which operate the friction clutch; further movement of the rod 38 by the tappet d, Fig. 1, operates a lever 62 to release a pawl 66 and allow it to engage a wheel 67 and give a positive drive.

Abstract: 12,820. Jackson, W. J. Mellersh-, [McElroy Engine Co.]. June 2. Valves; valve - gear.- In a four - stroke - cycle engine, inlet and exhaust ports 22, 23 are controlled by a slide valve 29, Figs. 1 and 8, which may be cut from a cylindrical rod and has a working face extending over more than half a circle in plan, and an inner face shaped to the contour of the piston. Th re are preferably two valve-rods 30, having arms 40, 41 actuated by tappet rods 42, 43 carried by the piston. In order that the valve may be moved at the end of the working, exhaust- and suction strokes so as to open and close the ports at the correct times for the four-stroke cycle, the tappet rods 42,43 are supported when necessary by teeth 46, Fig. 9, on a wheel mounted on the gudgeon 19, which is rotated intermittently by means of a pawl 50, Fig. 10, carried by the connecting-rod. A detent is provided to prevent backward rotation of the gudgeon. The arrangement also prevents uneven wear of the gudgeon. To ensure the valve stopping in its mid-position during the compression and working strokes, a ball 34, Fig. 3, is pressed by a spring 38 into a recess in one of the valve-rods 30. In any other position of the valve, the igniting-circuit is broken by the separation of the spring 38 from the contact 37.

Title: Improvements in Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: HILL FREDERICK BARKER
IPC: F02C5/00
Filed: 1913-10-07
Granted: 1914-11-09
Abstract: 22,622. Hill, F. B., and Best, W. G. Oct. 7. Jet-wheels; regulating; reversing; working- fluid supply. - Relates to internal - combustion engines of the type comprising one or more units each consisting of a pair of cylinders, partly filled with water, which are provided at their upper ends with admission and exhaust valves and ignition devices, and communicate with one another at their lower ends through a casing provided with a turbine from the shaft of which power is taken off. The principal feature of the invention is that the circuits of the ignition devices are made and broken by the rise and fall of the water in the cylinders, the water coming into direct contact with an insulated contact forming part of each ignition circuit. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the turbine casing 10 and cylinders 1, 1<1> are filled with water from a pipe 32 up to the level of the cocks 35, and at starting, combustible mixture is drawn into both cylinders by means of a suction pump connected to the pipe 24. Upon ignition of the mixture in, say, the cylinder 1<1> by the closing of a switch, the water is driven past the turbine 3 into the cylinder 1, compressing the charge therein. As soon as the water comes into contact with the igniting- device 21, a spark is produced at the plug 20 and ignition occurs in the cylinder 1, driving the water back through the turbine 3 to the cylinder 1'. The rush of water past the plate 15 opens the exhaust valve 13, but as soon as the water passes below the level of the plate, the exhaust valve closes under the action of the spring 16 and fresh combustible charge is sucked in through an admission valve (not shown). A fresh explosion then occurs in the cylinder 1<1>, and the action of the apparatus becomes continuous and automatic. A by-pass connecting the lower ends of the two cylinders may be opened to facilitate starting. In a modification. the turbine 3 may be mounted in a casing through which the water flows in one direction only, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6, valves 45, 46 being fitted in the chambers 42, 41 beneath the cylinders 1, 1<1> to direct the flow in the proper direction. In this case, the by-pass valve 49 may be fitted between the chambers 41, 42 and may serve for regulating the volume of liquid flowing through the turbine as well as for starting. Reversal may be effected by a separate turbine wheel mounted in the shaft 4 and a valve for diverting the stream of liquid through it. The water may be cooled by means of a condenser through which a portion of the water may be diverted at every stroke. The exhaust valves may be operated electrically by means of electro-magnets inserted in circuits which are made and broken at the required times by the rise and fall of the water in the cylinders of the engine.
