Patent GB-190713728-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Producing Combustible Gas from Petrol or other Spirit or Oil.
Inventor: WARMSLEY ALFRED HARRIS
Filed: 1907-06-13
Granted: 1908-01-09
Abstract: 13,728. Warmsley, A. H. June 13. Carburetting.-A carburetting-apparatus is provided with means actuated by the gas-holder whereby the supply of air to the blower and thence to the carburettor is automatically shut off when a predetermined quantity of gas has been generated, and air is only again admitted when a large quantity of the gas so produced has been consumed. A blower 1 driven by a hot-air engine, actuated by some of the air produced, draws air through a tapering flexible nozzle 70 into a drying-chamber 3 provided with a perforated diagonal partition 4 and sloping shelves 5 containing calcium chloride or other drying-agent. The air passes by a pipe 17 to the carburettor 18 and enters the liquid through submerged pipes 20, the carburetted air passing to the gas-holder 12. When the bell has risen to a certain height, a lever 9 is actuated by an adjustable stop 13 and causes an adjustablyweighted valve 8 to close the air-admission, the motion of the valve being sharply completed by the suction of the blower. At the same time, through a rod 24 and crank 22, a sleeve 36, Fig. 6, in the air-pipe 17<a> within the carburettor, is rotated, bringing a slot 37 in such sleeve more or less out of registration with the pipes 20. When the gas-holder has fallen a certain amount, a stop 14 actuates the lever 9 and valve 8, the sleeve 36 being meanwhile rotated until the slot 37 is in full registration with the pipes 20. The float valve 26 by which the supply of liquid to the carburettor is controlled comprises a needle valve 31 to which are connected weighted levers 33 pivoted at 34 which fall with the float, thereby raising the needle valve and admitting more liquid. The upper part of the float chamber is connected by a pipe 29 with the carburettor. A safety-valve 38 is provided on the gas-outlet pipe and is automatically actuated by a stop 46 moving with the bell, should this fall too low, the parts being returned to their normal position by hand. To compensate for the increase in pressure by the increase in effective weight as the bell 12 rises, the outer end of a pivoted arm 51 is joined by a flexible connexion to a point on the bell, and is similarly connected with a hanging weight 57. For use in cold climates, a dry gasholder may be substituted for the holder shown. A valved pipe connects the pipe 17 to the outlet from the carburettor for mixing air with the carburetted air. The upper part of the carburettor 18 forms a mixing-chamber and may be provided with perforated shelves 50.

The fly-wheel 10, fast upon the driving-shaft 11, carries spindles 30 supporting groups of planet elements 20 ... 23 which rotate together and are constantly m mesh with sun-pirions 24 ... 27. The pinion 24, loose on the driven shaft 14, is connected by a sleeve 36 to a drum 87, which may be held against rotation by a brake 39 or connected to the shaft 14 by a plate clutch 38. Keys 32, sliding in grooves in the shaft 14, are provided with projections 34 adapted to engage simultaneously in recesses in the bosses of any one of the pinions 25, 26, 27. The highest speed is a solid drive effected by the clutch 38. The second and third speeds and the reverse are obtained when the drum 37 is held stationary and the pinions 25, 26, 27, respectively, are clutched to the shaft 14. The clutch 38 comprises oppositely-acting disks 41, 42 carried by the shaft 14 adapted to be pressed together against a disk 43 upon the drum 37 by camlevers 46. A lever 48 which operates the clutch 38 operates also a cam-bar 53 which engages the turned-over end 55 of a rod 56 which actuates the brake 39. The keys 32 are actuated through a separate grooved sleeve 33. Specifications No. 16,891, A.D. 1900, and No. 13,970, A.D. 1905, are referred to.
