Patent GB-190615443-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Engines Worked by Steam and Internal Combustion
Inventor: BERGALLI ETTORE
Filed: 1906-07-07
Granted: 1907-09-07
Abstract: 15,443. Bergalli, E. July 7. Gas and like engines.-Steam is admitted to the cylinder of a two-stroke-cycle internal-combustion engine during and after the period of ignition. The invention is described in connexion with doubleacting engines, one form of which is shown diagrammatically in Fig. 2. The exhaust port 3 is opened by the valve 6 towards the end of the outstroke, and then combustible mixture is admitted and cut off by the inner edges of the valve 7. The charge is compressed during the in-stroke after the port 3 is closed and at the end of the stroke is ignited, steam being admitted near the igniter 9 by the passages 12 and controlled by the outer edge of the admission valves 7. The steam is supplied direct from the boiler and is controlled by an expansion valve, or it is drawn from the boiler by a pump 11 and forced into the cylinder. The invention is based upon data obtained from two indicator diagrams, one taken in the ordinary way and the other taken on a card driven from a crank about ninety degrees in advance of the main crank. The cylinders, Fig 4, have the two ends 18 made separately to allow for expansion and united by the belt 14, which forms the exhaust passage. Or the liner may be made in two parts, the cylinder barrel being in one piece and containing spaces for cooling - water. Two different arrangements of valves are. described. Figs. 6 and 7 show one arrangement. The cylinder port 47 is controlled by the piston valve 53, which admits combustible mixture from the pipe 46 and air which passes through the slots in the valve 54, the air entering the cylinder before and after the holes 50 are uncovered by the valve 54, and thus avoiding premature ignition of the charge by the exhaust gases. The steam is controlled by the. right-hand edge of the valve 53 and by the beat expansion valve 58, Fig. 7, which seats upon the end of the liner 49 and is mounted loosely upon the spindle and secured between springs 57 and nuts 59. In the other valve arrangement, a balanced steam beat valve is made separate from a beat admission valve for the combustible and air with a piston on its stem for controlling fuel supply. Fig. 9 shows a reversing valve-gear by which the admission valves 87, 88 and exhaust valve 89 are driven. The movement of the lever 93, through which the admission valves are driven, is adjusted by the governor.

Abstract: 17,898. Vaux, W., and McCullough, P. Aug. 9. Sanding rails.-The rocking sand-box A of a pedal - actuated sandejector is raised by the action of the pedal P and is brought down forcibly on the stop G by springs Q, H, so that it completes its full oscillation however rapidly the pedal is operated. To effect this, a bell-crank N is connected to a swinging arm J, to which is linked the lever I which lifts the sand-box from the stop G by turning it about the pivot B. Fixed choppers R, attached to the framing C, cut up congealed or wet sand. The sand-box may alternatively be raised against the action of the springs by a star-wheel, which is turned by a pedal or is geared from the car axle.

Abstract: 29,452. Livingstone, D., and Dickinson, W. Dec. 27. Indicators, station, stopping-place, and like.- Relates to station and streetiindicators in which the indications are carried on a band intermittently operated by a solenoid or solenoids, and consists in operating the rollers on which the band is wound by gearing them with the internal teeth of a wheel, the external teeth of which engage with a pawl on the core of the solenoid. As shown in. Fig. 1, the rollers l, m, on which the indicating- band n is wound, are provided at each end With toothed wheels t, u, engaging with the internal teeth of a wheel v. External teeth on the latter wheel engage with a pawl i pivoted to the core d of the solenoid b. The solenoid is intermittently energized by suitable switching arrangements, or by the device shown in Fig. 5 consisting of a contact x carried by the trolly arm and in circuit with the indicator and a battery, and an earthed contact x<2> carried by the supporting-wire with which the contact x engages. A similar arrangement is provided at the other end of the rollers to operate the band in the reverse direction. The inactive pawl is then raised out of engagement by a cord x<3>, Fig. 4.

A washer E is interposed between the disk and the guard-ring to provide clearance for the play of the disk. Alternatively, a valve closure is formed by interfitting shoulders c, d on the valve and the valve-seat, as shown, the flexible disk being an auxiliary closure.

Title: Improvements in Petrol or Gas Internal Combustion or Steam Engine Driving Gear.
Inventor: MONTGOMERY CHRISTOPHER JOHN
Filed: 1907-02-12
Granted: 1908-05-12
Abstract: 3447. Montgomery, C. J. Feb. 12. Gas and explosive-vapour engines.-The power of an internal-combustion engine for self-propelled vehicles is regulated by adjusting the driving-gear so as to vary the piston stroke, the compression remaining constant or nearly so. The invention is described in connexion with an internal-combustion engine working on the four-stroke cycle. Each piston 2 drives a swinging arm 4, which rotates the driving-shaft 3 by means of a connecting-rod and crank. The radius of the arm 4 is varied by adjusting the position of the block 10 in an inclined slot in the arm, so that the clearance space is simultaneously adjusted. The.adjustment is effected by means of the handle 15, which turns the worm 12 engaging with the pin-wheel 13 on the screwed rod 11 passing through the block. The part of the worm which is normally engaged with the pin-wheel is without pitch so that the arm 4 may oscillate without rotating the pin - wheel. The thrust of the connecting rod on the block 10 is transmitted mainly to the arm 4 and not to the screwed rod.
