Title: Improvements in or relating to Mechanism for Operating Valves of Internal Combustion and other Engines.
Inventor: MILLER HERMAN PHILIP ERIKSEN
IPC: F01L7/02
Filed: 1912-10-02
Granted: 1913-10-02
Abstract: 22,462. Miller, H. P. E., and Tetlow, E. Oct. 2. Releasing-gears.-In valve mechanism of the type described in Specification 1720/12, [Class 7 (vi), Internal-combustion engines, Valves &c. for], and applicable to oscillating valves of the Corliss and sleeve-valve types and to slide valves, two valve-operating studs are used in combination with means for preventing the return of one stud under spring action until the other has been carried forward and released. In one form of construction, Figs. 1 and 4, there are two segmental valves A, D of the Corliss type. A wrist-plate A<2> is fixed to the valve A which is mounted loosely on a shaft E, Figs. 1, 4, and 6. Stationary members F, F' adjustable as to position by a set-screw F<5> are provided with corresponding pairs of slots F<2>, F3. Fixed to the rotary shaft E is a tappet J, co-operating with bowls G', H<1> guided respectively in the slots F<2>, F'. The bowl H<1> is also guided in a slot A<4> in the wrist-plate. A block A<8> is moved along a radial slot into the path of the bowl H<1> by means of a tappet E' on the shaft E, and the bowl H<1> thereby drives the wrist-plate. Attached to the bowl G<1> is a block G<2> which is guided along a slot A<3> in the wrist-plate. The invention is described as applied to a four-stroke-cycle engine and the shaft E is turned at half the speed of the engine shaft. In operation the part J<1> of the tappet J moves the bowl G' along its slots, thereby turning the wrist-plate until the bowl escapes at an outwardly-turned part f<2> of the slot. This operation closes the supply valve A, the valve D being already closed. The tappet J during the firing stroke has reached a position wherein the part J<1> engages the bowl H<1>, and through the medium of the rod k the valve D is opened against the action of the spring k<1>. After the passage of the part J<2> of the tappet, the valve D closes under spring action, and the valve A is opened by the interposition of the block A<8> in the path of the bowl H<1>. A modification is shown in Fig. 7, in which a single valve controlling exhaust and admission is used, and this valve may be employed for two cylinders. A wrist-plate M, connected as before to the valve body, is moved against the action of a spring which tends to maintain supply open and exhaust closed, by a part P<2> of a tappet P, acting on a bowl N, guided in slots N<1> in a casing. The bowl works radially in the wrist-plate and a second bowl o, also working radially, is guided in slots o'. The tappet P is so constructed that after the bowl N escapes at N<2> and moves idly over the part P<3> of the tappet, the bowl o is engaged by the tappet to produce a second angular movement of the wrist-plate before the bowls and wrist-plate are returned by the spring. In applying the invention to slide valves a valve might be coupled to the end of the link k.

Granted: 1914-07-16
Abstract: 16,563. Allgemeine Elektricitats Ges. July 29,1912, [Convention date]. Ink-ribbon mechanism. - In adjustable-throw vibrator mechanism, the vibrator is driven by a lever 2, suspended at 3 on the oscillating frame 1 of the universal bar and controlled by an adjusting-device 10 mounted on the fixed framework, the arrangement decreasing the inertia of the universal bar as compared with arrangements in which the adjusting-device is moved by the universal bar. The lever 2 is connected by a link 19 to a bell-crank lever 26 which carries the vibrator 28. The lever 2 is formed with enlargements 7, 8 adapted to engage the slotted end 9 of the lever 10 carried by a rock-shaft 13 which is journaled in the framework 11 and is provided with an adjusting-lover 14. The throw of the vibrator can be increased by altering the fulcrum of the lever 2 from the point 8 to the point 7, this being effected by raising the lever 10 to bring the slot 9 into engagement with the enlargement 7. By setting the lever 10 between the enlargements 7, 8, the lever 2 is caused to move idly and the vibrator is silenced for stencilling. The enlargements 7, 8 may be replaced by rollers or pins or by a slot which engages a pin or roller on the lever 10 and is formed with an enlargement at the middle for the stencil-adjustment. The lever 10 is formed with an extension provided with recesses 16, 17, 18 adapted to engage a locking-pin 15 on the framework. The bell-crank lever 26 is pivoted at 25 to the platen shaft frame 24, which is pivoted at 30 to the framework. When the platen is shifted, the bell-crank lever is moved almost parallel to itself and the vibrator is lifted through the same distance as the platen. The pivots consist of pins instead of the usual bolts and nuts, and to facilitate assembling, the parts 2, 19, 16 are pivoted together before they are inserted in the machine.

Abstract: 25,193. Beer, B. de. Nov. 11, 1912, [Convention date]. Steering and balancing.-The laterally-extending main planes of an aeroplane are moved in the same direction to vary their incidence, with or without conjoint control of the elevator, and also in opposite senses for lateral balance by a single hand-lever. The hand-lever 6 is pivoted at 5 to a longitudinallyarranged tube 1 carried on bearings 2, 3. A block 8 is arranged within the hollow lever 6 and is adjustable vertically by a screw 9 actuated by a hand-lever 10. The block 8 and the lever 6 are connected by pairs of links 12, 14 to cross-heads 13, to which the main planes are connected by links 24. The cross-heads are stayed by links 15 connected to a block 16 slidable on the tube 1. The control rod 18 of the elevator is connected to a bracket 17 on the lever 6. In operation, fore-and-aft movement of the lever 6 actuates the elevator and also the main planes in the same sense. The main planes are moved in the same sense independently of the elevator by actuating the hand-lever 10, and are moved oppositely by inclining the lever 6 sideways. In a modified arrangement, the links 24 for actuating the planes are each connected to a crank 25, Fig. 3, secured to the spindle of a pulley 20, which is connected by a chain 22 to a pulley 21. A lappet 23 on the chain operates the planes.

Abstract: 25,415. Jenkins, H. C., Pattinson, H. F., and Wellesley, R. Nov. 6. Alkalies, obtaining; cells; electrodes; electrolytes, circulating; electrolytes, treating non- chemically.-Electrolyte is introduced into a cell so as to maintain the strength of the liquid within anode-enclosing bells, the fresh liquid displacing the old both upwards and downwards. The liquid level within each bell may be raised by suction, the outlet pipe m, Fig. 4, terminating above, and the return pipe n below, the level of the outside liquid. The outlet pipe m may lead to a tank, having an adjustable outflow into a trough, from which the electrolyte is pumped through apparatus for heating by steam or water, or electrically, or for saturating, removing gases, precipitation, or neutralization, to a second tank connected to the inlet pipe n. Between these tanks, there may also be arranged a bucket-wheel for controlling the rate of circulation, and a third tank for supplying fresh liquid. Solid salt may be placed in the second tank. Further to regulate the circulation, baffles may be arranged in the inlet pipe n, which terminates in a flared nozzle containing a cone to project the liquid horizontally across the face of the bell. By modifying the form and position of such cones, distribution to bells of a multiple cell can be varied. The cathode product is withdrawn continuously or periodically. Anode gases escape to a draining-vessel and pump by a pipe l fitted with a valve o, which is opened by a lever depressed by the roof of the bell, but is closed by gravity when the bell is removed. A grid or diaphragm may partly close the mouth of the bell. The cathode may consist of a frame d, Fig. 2, carrying inverted troughs c to collect gases, which pass under a cover f to an exit pipe. Hot or cold gas or liquid may be passed through the cathode. The cell may be enclosed in non-conducting material, and if it still loses too much heat, may be provided at its base with steam-pipes. Alkaline chloride or nitrate solution may constitute the electrolyte. By injecting carbon dioxide, alkaline carbonates may be produced.
