Patent GB-191013651-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or connected with Anti-vibration Devices for Automobiles and like Vehicles.
Inventor: BELL GEORGE WILLIAM
IPC: B60G17/04
Filed: 1910-06-06
Granted: 1911-09-06
Abstract: 13,651. Bell, G. W. June 6. Pneumatic springs.-Relates to pneumaticsuspension devices for motor-vehicles of the type in which the resistance is automatically regulated, to meet changes in the load, by means of the relative movement of the parts, such regulation, however, being unaffected by momentary movements due to vibration or road shocks. Fig. 1 illustrates such a device, in which the body of the vehicle is carried by a compressed-air cylinder B, in which works a piston A mounted on the axle C. When the cylinder is depressed owing to increase in the load, the arm 26 attached thereto causes compression in the chamber 1, and air passes through the orifice 13, and operates the valve 9 so as to open the main cylinder to the air - compressor pipe 18 Similarly, on a decrease in the load, the cylinder B is opened to exhaust. The present invention consists in utilizing the friction and inertia of the valve 9 for the purpose of maintaining it open to pressure until the main cylinder has returned to its usual position, and in positively closing this valve by a non-elastic link so that the closure occurs approximately at the time that the supporting-piston A reaches its normal position of suspension. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the closing-link consists of the rod 5 shouldered at 21 to engage with the piston 4, so that, when the piston rises owing to a decrease in the load, the valve 9 is operated directly. The friction of the valve 9 may be enhanced by suitable packing in adjustable glands or in certain cases by friction disks; and liquid may be employed instead of air to retard its operation. Alternative modifications show the application of the invention to rotary valves of the plug or tappet type; and in certain cases the wire-drawing of the air at 13 is dispensed with, the elimination of road shocks being effected by introducing a certain amount of lost motion before the valve 9 is opened to pressure. In a further modification, the elastic medium may consist of a spiral spring. A baffle, Fig. 11, may be provided on the exhaust pipe for the purpose of recovering oil from the compressed air escaping from the main cylinder B. The invention may be applied to the apparatus described in Specification 14,382/06.

Granted: 1912-01-17
Abstract: 1203. Murauer, R. Jan. 17. Single-acting multiple-delivery pumps.-In a fluid-pressure transmission system for operating the valves of fluid-pressure engines, the piston producing the operative stroke of the liquid simultaneously pumps a small volume of liquid to a by-pass device, so that the volume of liquid is always in excess of that required and losses due to leakage are replaced. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 5, the bore 5 communicates with channels 11, 12 having outlet and inlet ball valves. During the initial movement of the piston 3, fluid is forced past the valve in passage 11 until position I is reached; the main valve is then positively moved until position II is reached. During the upward movement of the piston, fluid enters the bore 5 through the passage 12. When the motion of the piston is again reversed, the excess fluid passes through passage 11. In a modification of this arrangement, the passages provided with inlet and exhaust valves communicate with two vessels which may contain lubricating-oil, which is circulated by the action of the piston.
