Title: Improved starting mechanism for reversible internal combustion engines
IPC: F02N9/04
Filed: 1947-01-06
Abstract: 624,784. Hydraulic machines. VIGNERY, A. Jan. 6, 1947, No. 433. Convention date, Nov. 8, 1946. [Class 69 (ii)] [Also in Group XXVII] When the operating handle 4 of an engine starting device [see Group XXVII] is moved to the right, a piston 16 reduces the volume of liquid in a cylinder 17, the surplus liquid flowing down a pipe 19<SP>1</SP> until the orifice 20 of the pipe 19 is closed by the piston 16. The pressure generated in the cylinder 17 forces upwards a piston 21 and thereby initiates forward starting by compressed air. When the engine starts and pressure is still applied to the operating handle a gear pump 37, which is driven by the engine, drains liquid from the cylinder 17 and delivers it to a cylinder 48, thereby allowing further movement of the handle 4 to effect adjustment of fuel supply pumps. A piston 47 in cylinder 48 is also coupled to the handle 14 so that as the piston displacement in cylinder 17 say increases, the reverse occurs in cylinder 48. Upon the engine attaining the desired power output the handle 4 is held stationary, thus relieving pressure in cylinder 17. The pump 37 can now only draw liquid from a tank 43, through non-return valves 42, and deliver it to the cylinder 48, which in turn overflows through an orifice 51 into a pipe 50 and from thence discharges into the tank 43. In a modification the pistons 16 and 47 are replaced by diaphragms. It is also stated that the gear pumps may be used, one for each direction of engine rotation. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 comprises also a cock connected to the operating member to control orifices 20 and-51. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 547,404. Aircraft engines; cooling cylinders. BRISTOL AEROPLANE CO., Ltd., FEDDEN, A. H. R., and THOMAS, F. M. Jan. 17, 1941, No. 703. [Class 7 (ii)] [Also in Group XXXIII] In a cooling system for radial-cylinder aircraft engines, the cooling air flows in one direction over the cylinder heads and is then reversed to flow over the cylinder barrels. A substantially.cylindrical casing 10, Figs. 1 and 2, surrounds the engine and a coaxial partition 15 separates the space around the cylinder heads 16 from the space around the barrels 17, cold air being admitted to the annular space 23 outside the partition 20 and heated air discharged from the space inside the partition. The casing 10 is closed at the rear end by a bulkhead 26 and the front end is divided into eight segments, four having air inlets 11 and the alternate four having outlets 12 for the heated air, V-shaped plates 19 serving to complete the separation of the cold and hot air streams. Air entering at 11 passes around the partition 15 and over the cylinder heads, returning over the barrels 17 and an exhaust ring 24 to the outlets 12, which may be controlled by adjustable flaps 25. Controlling flaps may also be provided on the inlets 11. In a modification, the partition 15 extends to the bulkhead 26, the air being introduced at the rear end of the engine, passing over the forward end of the partition to the inside and being discharged through outlets near the bulkheads. Figs. 3 and 4 show the application of the invention to installations comprising engines 27, 28 arranged coaxially face-to-face in the fuselage 31 or the wings of an aircraft, as described in Specifications 546,630, 547,403 and 547,426. The engines are enclosed in a casing 33 and the tubular partitions 15 are joined to provide a member having lateral openings leading through ducts 36, 37 to an airdischarge outlet. Air is admitted through inlets 40 and ducts 41 to the casing 33, the ducts 41 surrounding the heated-air outlet ducts 36 ; this air passes around the ends of the partition 15 to the central space 32 around exhaust rings 38, and through the outlet ducts 36, 37 around exhaust pipes 39. Part of the air admitted through 40, 41 is conveyed by ducts 43 to carburetter or blower inlets 44. Oil coolers 42 may be located in air ducts branched from the inlets 40 and leading to the outlet ducts 37. Specification 547,405 also is referred to.

[Also in Division B3] A device for feeding molten metal to the feed chamber of a pressure die-casting machine has a valve controlling the filling of the device with molten metal, said valve comprising three coaxial tubes 4, 5, 6, the central tube 6 being in the form of a vertically movable piston closed  at its upper end and made of a non-metallic substance of lesser specific gravity than the liquid metal, the inner tube 4 opening at its lower end into a bath of molten metal, and the outer tube 5, the length of which determines the maximum charge fixed with its lower end into the body 1 of the device. When immersed in the bath of molten metal with the connection 7 open to the atmosphere, the metal levels in the bath and the device equalize at 8, the plunger 6 floating in molten metal. A preliminary pressure is then applied through the connection 7, causing the level in the device to drop to 9 at the top of the tube 5, the level in the tube 5 to drop to 12 at which level the piston 6 seals the outlet, and the level in the discharge pipe 3 to rise to h 1 , a position of equilibrium. The feed pressure is then applied through connection 7 for a predetermined period, causing the level 9 to fall to 10 as metal is displaced through the discharge pipe 3. The connection 7 is then made to atmosphere and the device refills, all liquid levels again becoming equalized.
