Title: Improvements in and relating to safety devices for internal combustion engines
Inventor: METZ SIEGFRIED
IPC: F02M63/02
Filed: 1964-07-02
Abstract: 1,068,607. I. C. engine stop gear. ELBEWERK ROSSLAU VEB. July 2, 1964, No. 27388/64. Heading F1K. An internal combustion engine safety device which cuts off the fuel feed when lubricating oil pressure falls below a predetermined value comprises a spring-loaded valve 19 in the fuel line normally held open by lubricating oil pressure holding a disc 20 on the valve stem 10 against a seat 12, the arrangement being such that if upon a fall in oil pressure, the disc 20 is moved off its seat and valve 19 closed, a subsequent rise in oil pressure does not re-open the valve 19. The fuel enters the device at 15 and leaves at 14 and the lubricating oil is supplied through orifice 3 to port 9. The stem 10 is guided without sliding friction by diaphragms 17, 22, 23, the diaphragms 22 and 23 balancing one another to nullify the effect of fuel pressure on the valve and the space between diaphragms 17, 23, forming an isolating chamber between the fuel and oil chambers so that leakage of either through the diaphragms can be detected. When disc 10 moves off its seat 12, lubricating oil flows back to the sump through outlet 21 so that a rise in oil pressure cannot force the disc 20 back on to its seat. A centrifugal valve may be inserted in the oil pipe leading to the device 4 to actuate the cut-off valve 19 under overspeed conditions. An extension of the valve permits manual operation of the valve 19 e.g. at starting or for stopping the engine when desired. In a modification, electromagnetic means replaces the manual means, one electromagnetic coil for closing disc 20 being connected into the circuit of the engine starter motor or pre-lubrication pump and another coil for opening valve 19 being energized in accordance with additional engine operating conditions.

Filed: 1947-10-13
Abstract: 666,208. Connecting rods. ROLLINSON, W. (Addressograph-Multigraph Corporation). Oct. 13, 1947, No. 27410/47. [A Specification was laid open to inspection under Sect. 91 of the Acts, April 26, 1948.] Class 122(i). [Also in Groups II, XVI, XXIV and XXX] Oscillatory movement is transmitted from a pivot 292A, Fig. 16, to a pin 299 through an overload-release mechanism comprising a pair of links 296A, 296B each pivoted on the pivot 292A, and containing elongated slots 297, 298 through which passes the pin 299 normally engaging in a notch 301 on one of the links. If the pin 299 becomes fixed due to a mechanism operated thereby becoming jammed, the pin 299 resists the movement transmitted by the links and rides out of the notch 301 against the tension of a spring 300, so that the links continue their movement with the pin sliding to the end of the slots 297, 298. In a second overload-release mechanism, Fig. 19, a rod 279 is slidable in a sleeve 278 having a boss 281 on which is pivoted two pawls 283 tensioned together by springs 285 so that the ends 283E of the pawls engage in a notch 284 in the rod 279. If the pull of rod 279 is resisted by the sleeve then pawls become disengaged from the notch and rod 279 slides relatively to the sleeve 278.

IPC: B64C13/24
Filed: 1952-11-05
Abstract: 727,921. Controlling aircraft. NORTHROP AIRCRAFT, Inc. Nov. 5, 1952, No. 27835/52. Class 4. [Also in Group XXXII] A control device for an aircraft having a control surface moved in accordance with a pilot's control element includes a cylinder 12 adapted for holding a fluid and having a central ridge 19 extending internally, a rod 14 movable with the control element and having a central shoulder 20 within the cylinder, pistons 21 slidably mounted on the rod on each side of the shoulder and one on each side of the ridge, elastic means, e.g. springs 26 bearing against the pistons and the ends of the cylinder to urge the pistons towards the shoulder, a fluid duct composed of portions 50, 40 and 52, between each end of the cylinder and a central point in the cylinder, and means 37 restricting fluid flow through the duct in accordance with an aerodynamic load on the aircraft. The valve rod 37 has a bore 49 cooperating with duct 40, which bore can be displaced by the inertia of weight 36 under vertical accelerations of the aircraft, thus restricting the pilot's operation of, e.g. the elevators at high vertical acceleration. The bore may also be displaced by excess pressure in the bellows 34, connected to a pitot tube, the device then offering high resistance to movement when the airspeed is high, thus simulating feel. Centering action is provided by springs 26. The ratio of the effect produced by the movement of the weight 36 and the pressure in bellows 34 can be varied by adjusting the tension of springs 45 and the length of valve rod 37 by nuts 47 and 39 respectively. The head 64 permits adjustment of stops which prevent the fluid flow being totally cut off. A thermostatically-controlled heater 61 is provided. An electrically-operated by-pass valve 53 can be operated by the pilot, for the purposes of, e.g. take off and landing, which valve allows for movement of the control element.
