Patent GB-394777-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to valve gear for internal combustion engines
IPC: F01L1/245
Filed: 1932-04-04
Abstract: 394,777. Valve gear. HALFORD, F. B., 9, Golden Square, London. April 4, 1932, No. 9633. [Class 7 (vi).] In valve gear in which the operating thrust is transmitted through a column or pad of liquid confined in a recess in the rocker arm to which further liquid may be admitted past a non- return valve to take up clearance, the non- return valve is free to open and close under the action of gravity and its own inertia, the use of a spring being dispensed with. The Figure shows a cam-actuated rocker 12 in which the cam engages a plunger 16 sliding in a recess in the rocker, to which oil is delivered through passages 24, 25, 26 and past a non-return valve 21, which during the opening movement of the valve gear becomes seated owing to its inertia, on a shoulder 20. The lift of the valve is restricted to a very small amount by a stop 22. The inward movement of the plunger 16 is limited by a shoulder 27, the height of which may be adjusted by placing shims thereon. The outward movement is restricted by a pin 30 engaging a recess in the plunger, and rotation of the plunger is prevented by a flat 28. Air trapped in the recess escapes through a flat formed along one side of the plunger. The poppet valve 21 may be replaced by a ball valve seating with line contact. In a modification, the ball valve seats upon a cup member secured in the hollow plunger, the oil passing between the cup member and plunger, and through a hole at the bottom of the plunger, on to the cam.

Title: Oscillating or reciprocating device
IPC: F02G1/043
Filed: 1972-03-02
Abstract: 1391787 Compressors; hot gas engines M SCHUMAN 2 March 1972 [5 March 1971 18 Feb 1972] 9679/72 Headings F1N and F1S [Also in Division F2] A reciprocating device usable e.g. as a compressor or engine comprises a free piston 12 reciprocable in a cylinder 11 by a compressible fluid therein, the fluid being heated in passageways 19 so that it expands and enters the upper cylinder space 16 to force the piston 12 down, whereafter it is contracted by cooling to allow fluid in the space 17 below the piston to effect the piston return stroke. Heating of the passageways 19 is by means of a heating tube 21a fed from a heating source 23. The cooling of the fluid is effected by a cooling tube 24, 24a, 24b disposed in the region where the passageways 19 open into the cylinder space 16. Insulation 27 separates the heating and cooling tubes. Valves 29, 30 allow the entry of fluid to the spaces 16, 17 when these spaces are expanding. When operating as a compressor gas is delivered to, compressed in and returned from either of the spaces 16 or 17, Fig. 13 (not shown.) This compensates for leakage past the valves and the piston when the spaces are contracting and maintains the piston in a central position. In figures 16 and 17 (not shown) grooves (53) or tubes (61) in the cylinder wall perform the same piston centering function. Other embodiments are described in which the passageways are arranged transversely to the cylinder axis; in which the piston is caused to move in both directions by an alternately expanding and contracting fluid; or in which two pistons, each in a separate cylinder, have cylinder spaces in communication with the same passageways. A gas is the preferred  working fluid but a liquid and its vapour may also be used.

Filed: 1923-04-10
Abstract: 218,030. Holmes & James, Ltd., and Sutherland, H. E. April 10, 1923. Contacts; fuseboards.-In fuses comprising a holder carrying two contacts and the fuse for assembly in relation to a base or shield with fixed contacts, insulating shielding partitions are arranged so that ventilating air may flow between the body of the holder and the partitions; the partitions shield the contacts from the fuse wire which passes around the remote edges of the former before being attached to the contacts.. The partitions may be separable from the holder and secured in position by the contacts, being composed for example of asbestos or mica. In the fuse described the fixed contacts are provided with insulating sockets driven over their extremities to protect from accidental contact and they are mounted for alignment purposes by being secured to a transverse member loosely housed in the base. A fuse holder a with a semi-hexagonal projection b and a longitudinal groove e has flanged contact members f secured over the groove at each end thereof so as to clamp shielding partitions j to the holder. The fuse wire i is laid in the groove and passes beneath the partitions to terminal screws h in the contacts f. The base d has a central cavity to receive the projection b and is secured by screws passing through bosses at each side of the cavity : enlargements l on the holder are adapted to cover the heads of the screws to protect them from any arc. Cavities m at each end of the base contain the fixed contacts g which comprise V-shaped castings adapted to embrace the holder contacts and having integral split clips o to clamp a circular bar passing into. or through perforations at the sides of the contact cavity so as to permit lateral movement between base and contact for alignment purposes. This rod may be a bus-bar q passing through a range of bases, or, in the case of the distributing contact, an insulating bar p. Rectangular members r of insulating material are fixed upon the contacts g so that their extremities project sufficiently to prevent accidental contact. Spring provision behind each may assist in locating the fixed contacts, for example two leaf springs s each of which has a tongue t at each side of each end. The base contacts may be arranged for back connection.
