Inventor: CHANUDET LOUIS GUSTAVE
Filed: 1907-02-21
Granted: 1907-11-14
Abstract: 4356. Chanudet, L. G., and Lejeal, Y. P. Feb. 26, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Hydraulic transmission of power.-Relates to apparatus, for use in connexion with the driving- gear of ships and motor-cars, based on the principle of the hydrostatic press. A primary crank AB actuates a piston p, which through a liquid medium, communicates motion to a larger piston P. The piston P has side pieces t operating a shaft E which is mounted on rollers; the shaft E then drives a secondary sbaft o by a secondary crank mo and connecting-rod Em. The ratio of the strokes of the pistons, and the ratio of the cranks are inversely as the areas of the corresponding pistons. The shaft o may carry a fly-wheel, or a pump with an opening at T may be used to help the shaft o over the dead-centres. The second half-revolution of the shaft o may be derived by producing the crank mM so that MO=AB, the two cranks being coupled by a rod BM. A second apparatus on the opposite side of the point A may be coupled to the crank at B. To replace leakage, the cylinders communicate with reservoirs through valved passages, the valves being set to open under a particular pressure. Owing to the difference in the motions of the pistons due to obliquities of the connecting-rods, correspondingly varying quantities of water are withdrawn and forced in by the pumps at T.

Granted: 1909-04-30
Abstract: 2224. Brunton, H. L., and Brunton, W. P. Jan. 31. Sliding valves; actuating valves.-Relates to hydraulic valves, used for operating bulkhead doors, of the class in which a D-slide is fixed to a differential piston working in a hydraulic cylinder, one end of the piston being always open to and operated by the pressure water, which also acts on the smaller area of the piston. The invention consists in providing means for holding the valve in its midposition despite any leakage that may occur. Figs. 1 and 2 show one form of the apparatus, in which a is the hydraulic cylinder having in it the piston b. A rod b<1> is connected to the piston so that the area on the upper side of the piston is less than that at the bottom, and this rod operates the slide valve b<2> controlling the supply passages e, g and the exhaust passage f. The D-shaped passage b<3> formed in the side of the slide b<2> permits of the passage of pressure water by way of the groove a<6>, port a<5>, and pipe j from the upper side to the lower side of the piston, when this begins to descend from its mid-position by reason of leakage. Similarly if the piston begins to rise by reasin of leakage, the groove b<4> is put into communication with the port a<5> and the exhaust port a<3>, and the piston is forced down again by the pressure on its upper surface. Fig. 3 shows a modified arrangement, by which the pressure port a<6> or the exhaust port a<7> may communicate with the space below the piston by the grooves b<5>, b<6> to counteract any tendency of the valve to deviate from the mid-position. Figs. 4 and 5 show a plug cock operated by the piston-rod b<1> for the same purpose. The pipes m, n, o communicate with the upper end of the cylinder, the lower end, and the exhaust respectively.
