Title: Improvements in Wheels and Revolving Piston Motors.
Inventor: WILLIAMS HENRY MARTYN
Filed: 1899-08-01
Granted: 1899-11-25
Abstract: 15,708. Williams, H. M. Aug. 1. Wheels with motors.-The engine is partly carried by the wheel A which it drives, and which is used for motor road vehicles. An annular trough B is connected by lugs 6<a>, 7<a> to the wheel A, and is closed on its inner side by a ring C fixed to the vehicle, suitable packing being interposed so as to form an annular chamber 4<a>, which is divided into three equal compartments by partitions 3. These partitions are fixed in the trough, and fit fluid-tight against the ring C. The ring C also carries two abutments 7, which are forced outwards by fluid pressure in cylinders 10, excepting when they are retracted to allow the partitions 3 to pass them. This is done by providing them with rollers 20 which ride upon cam surfaces 21 carried by the trough B. Should these cam surfaces fail to act, the pistons would be forced back by wedge-shaped blocks 5 adjacent to the partitions. On each side of the abutments 7 are admission and exhaust valves 23 and 24, which are capable of acting in either capacity according to the direction in which the wheel is being driven. In the case shown, the valve 24 is the admission valve, the pipes 17 and 18 being open to the pressure and 16 and 19 to the exhaust through a valve 34 which is used for reversing. The valves are acted on by springs which tend to close them, and the one which is acting as the admission valve, 24 in the present case, is opened by a bell-crank lever operated by a cam plate 29. The exhaust fluid forces its way out past the valve 23. When the motor is reversed, the valve 23 becomes the admission valve, and is operated also by a bell-crank lever. In order that the ring 29 shall be able to assume the correct position for operating either valve, it is not fixed rigidly to the trough B, but has a concentric slot with the ends of which a pin in the trough can engage after the manner of a single eccentric reversing-gear. From the arrangement shown it will be seen that the motor is always being driven by the fluid, no part of its motion being due to accumulated momentum.

Abstract: 9722. Radovanovic, A. April 26. Safety-valves.-Two valves are so arranged that one acts alone when the excess of pressure is but slight, the other opening at higher pressures. Several arrangements are described. Referring to Fig. 1, the valve a, which is loaded to a lesser extent than the valves b discharges into the chamber m, the steam escaping through an adjustable or limited outlet o. When the outlet o is insufficient, the steam in the chamber m lifts the piston b<11> and relieves the second valve b, which then opens. The valves may be loaded by separate weights instead of by springs, or by a single weight and compound levers; or one valve may be spring-loaded and the other weighted. Fig. 5 shows a concentric arrangement of valves corresponding parts being similarly lettered. In place of the adjustable outlet o, a spring valve, closing at a certain pressure, may be employed. The valve a has a cylindrical extension a<11>, or a piston, to prevent the pressure in the chamber m from affecting it. The valve b may be a double-beat valve.
