Abstract: 1,254,394. Speed governors. ROBERT BOSCH G. m. b. H. March 6, 1970 [March 8, 1969], No. 10805/70. Heading G3B. A speed governor for a fuel injection pump 3 of an internal combustion engine comprises an intermediate lever system 14, 15 adapted to act upon the fuel quantity adjusting member 12 of the pump 3 and which is displaceable by a speed transducer 17 against an arbitrarily variable force supplied by a governor spring 18 and against the force of a starting spring 27, wherein the starting spring acts upon the intermediate lever part 15 by way of a starting piston 26 that is acted upon by a speed dependent hydraulic pressure which, above a predetermined value, prevents the piston from acting on the intermediate lever part 15. The intermediate lever is of two parts: part 14 being pivoted at 16 at one end and being subject to the governor spring 18 at the other, and part 15 also pivoted at 16 having two arms, one arm being subject to the force of the starting spring 27 in the starting position (shown in Fig. 1) and the other arm determining the position of the adjusting member 12. On starting the member 12 is held in the position shown in Fig. 1. Fuel from a reservoir 34 is pumped into chamber 17, and is forced into ducts 6 and 31. When the pressure in chamber 17 reaches the predetermined value, the starting piston is displaced into the chamber 29 and the spring thereby displaces the adjusting member 12 for normal regulation.

Title: Variable area jet propulsion nozzle
IPC: F02K1/12
Filed: 1959-04-01
Abstract: 862,405. Jet propulsion nozzles. HYDE, J. A. C. April 1, 1959 [April 4, 1958], No. 11066/59. Class 110 (3). A jet propulsion nozzle comprises a plurality of annularly-arranged longitudinally-extending flaps pivoted at their upstream ends to stationary structure, means to pivot the flaps to vary the area of the nozzle opening, overlapping surfaces on two adjacent flaps and a longitudinally-extending swing link radially interposed between longitudinally-extending abutments on the flaps so arranged that, when there is fluid pressure in the nozzle, tending to increase the nozzle opening, the link locates the flaps relatively to one another with the overlapping surfaces spaced apart but providing a constriction opposing the flow of fluid between them. The rear end of a jet pipe 10 is provided with a groove 11 in which a number of flaps 12 are hinged by a portion 23. Wire braid 24 forms a gas seal. The nozzle comprises two types of flap 20, 21 arranged alternately round the duct. Each of the flaps 20 carries a cam member 13 having a surface 28. The surfaces 28 co-operate with rollers 15 attached to an axially movable ring 14. Movement of the ring 14 forwardly causes nozzle flaps to move inwardly and rearward movement of the ring allows the gas pressure to open the nozzle. Each of the flaps 20 has rabbeted edges 26 and carries along its longitudinal edges ribs 30 which are grooved at 31. Each flap 21 has rabbeted edges 34 having surfaces 35 facing similar surfaces 27 on the rabbeted edges 26. A pair of inclined ribs 36 grooved at 37 are also provided on each flap 21. A swing link 39 having retroverted edges 40, 41 is interposed between each pair of abutments 32, 38 formed on the ribs 30, 36. A C-shaped sealing member 42 has edges 43, 44 which engage the grooves 31, 37. The ends of the sealing member are closed by plates 45, 46 held in place by spring clips 47, 48. The section of the sealing member is less at the hinge than at the outer end. The gas pressure in the nozzle will keep the cam surfaces 28 in contact with the rollers 15, and tend to move the flaps 21 outwards so that the overlapping surfaces 35, 27 are kept out of contact, thus reducing the force required to actuate the nozzle. In a modification, Figs. 3 and 4 (not shown), the flaps only overlap by means of rabbeted edges at alternate joints, the remaining joints being formed by a ridge along the edge of one flap engaging a channel along the edge of the adjacent flap. In another modification, Figs. 4 and 5 (not shown), the swing link is formed by a long flat plate member which when in operation, is held in compression.
