Title: Improvements in Means for Regulating the Speed of Internal Combustion Motors.
Inventor: MILLS BENJAMIN JOSEPH BARNARD
Filed: 1906-01-18
Granted: 1906-07-05
Abstract: 1392. Mills, B. J. B., ['Itala' Fabbrica di Automobili]. Jan. 18. Gas and like engines, governing and igniting in. Engines, especially those for automobiles, are governed by altering both the time of ignition and the time or amount of opening of the throttle valve. The ignition levers 8 are pressed by a spring 7 to a cam disk 6 on a shaft 5, which is rotated, through helical gear-wheels 3, 4, by the cam shaft 1. With this arrangement, the driver is able to move the lever 11 and slide the shaft 1 axially, thus imparting a rotary movement to the shaft 5 and therefore altering the time of ignition. The throttle actuating-gear consists of a centrifugal governor 12 controlling the shaft 13, which passes through the shaft 1 and actuates the lever 15 through the sleeve 14. This lever 15 is pivoted at 16, and its outer end forms the fulcrum of a second lever, of which the inner end is under the control of the driver and .the other end 18 is connected to the throttle valve by the link 19. With this arrangement, the time of closing of the throttle can be varied by the driver, who is able to impart a movement to this valve independently of that given by the governor, even when the levers are in their extreme positions for opening or closing the valve. Arrangements of levers other than that shown may be employed.
