Title: Improvements in Engine Starting Mechanisms.
Inventor: MACKENZIE JOHN WILLIAM
Filed: 1912-07-29
Granted: 1913-07-24
Abstract: 17,587. Mackenzie, J. W., [Auto Gas Engine Starter Co.]. July 29. Motor - starting devices, applications of.- The engine fly-wheel is turned by means of a fluid-pressure motor, the controlling - means of which comprises primary and secondary valves. The secondary valve is first opened to turn the motor slowly, and at the same time the motor shaft is brought into connexion with the engine fly - wheel; further movement of the control handle then opens the primary valve to work the engine on full power. An air-pump 11 driven from the shaft 4 compresses air in a tank 14 while the engine is running. At starting, a lever 35, Fig. 4, is moved to open the secondary valve 31 admitting air to the motor 19, and at the same time a lever 38 connected to the lever 35 by a link 39 moves a loose pinion 25 into engagement with the flywheel 6 and engages the clutch 23, 24. Further movement of the lever 35 opens the primary valve 28. When the flywheel overruns the motor, the pinion 25 is moved out of engagement, and the valves 28, 31 close. The operating-handle has a loose coupling which allows the lever 35 to move back even though the handle has not been released.
