Title: Improvements in Internal Combustion Motors
Inventor: VOGT ADOLF
Filed: 1905-10-05
Granted: 1906-10-05
Abstract: 20,167. Vogt, A. Oct. 5. Internal-combustion engines of the continuous-combustion type. The charge is ignited at constant pressure as it enters the cylinder by the heat of compressed products of combustion, the final temperature and pressure of which depend upon the time of closing the exhaust valve. The air is heated by the exhaust, and in the case of engines worked by producer gas part of the air from the pump is forced through the producer, a gas pump being thereby dispensed with. Fig. 2 shows the invention applied to an oil engine. The oil pump 12 is driven from the engine piston so that the supply of oil corresponds with the movement of the latter ; it draws its supply from a tank 15 open to the pressure in the air reservoir, and a spring-loaded overflow valve allows the surplus oil to return when the oil-admission valve 11 closes. The airadmission valve 1 opens outward and is closed by a strong spring ; the lever 7 works both the air and oil valve. The oil may be supplied to the air-valve seating or on the cylinder side of it; the seating may be protected by a ring 33 of nickel. The exhaustvalve and the admission-valve levers are worked by eccentric gears, the straps of which can be adjusted angularly as described in Specification No. 22,124, A.D. 1896, [Abridgment Class Steam engines]. At starting, ignition may be effected by compressing the charge more highly as in the Diesel engine, or an electric igniter may be used. An igniter is also placed in the exhaust pipe to ignite the charge therein and warm the air supply.

Title: Improvements in Speed Regulation of Continous Current Electric Motors.
Inventor: TILNEY MAX JAMES ECCLES
Filed: 1906-07-14
Granted: 1907-06-20
Abstract: 15,989. Tilney, M. J. E. July 14. Motors, controlling.-Variation in the speed of continuous-current motors due to alteration of the temperature of the field coils is obviated by automatically varying a resistance in series with the field coils by means of a motor or electro-magnet. Reference is made to the methods of regulation described in Specifiation No. 27,168, A.D. 1904, and No. 9940, A.D. 1905. The regulating-motor has two opposing windings, one of which has a practically constaut current, while the other carries a current proportional to the field current of the motors. Motors M' have their field windings F' in series with one field a' of a regulating-motor a, operating a rheostat b in series with the fields F<1>, a'. The other field a<2> of the motor is wound oppositely to the field a<1> and is connected across the leads L, or to an independent source of current. Resistances R<1> equal to the resistances of the coils F<1> are put into circuit when any of the motor fields are cut out. Starting-switches S' for the motors and a regulating-rheostat S are also provided. A potentiometer may be operated by the regulating - motor instead of a rheostat. The arrangement described compensates to some extent for variations in line voltage.
Patent GB-190617217-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Driving Mechanism for the Live Axles of Motor Driven Vehicles.
Inventor: HUMPHRIS FRANK
Filed: 1906-07-31
Granted: 1907-07-18
Abstract: 17,217. Humphris, F. July 31. Variable-speed gearing.-Relates to the application of change-speed gearing of the kind described in Specification No. 10,144, A.D. 1904, for the purpose of driving directly on the differential gear of the live axle. Fig. 1 shows, a sectional elevation and Fig. 2 a sectional plan. A slidable pinion 4 having pin or helmet shaped teeth, and driven from the longitudinal shaft 5, gears with any one of several series of holes in the face of a plate 1 mounted directly on an extension of the differential gear. The plate 1 is adapted to be withdrawn when it is desired to slide the pinion 4 for the purpose of changing speed. The driving-shaft for the pinion 4 is in three sections. The first tubular section 5 is driven from the motor, while the second section 6 carries the pinion 4 and slides longitudinally in the section 5, being prevented from rotating relatively thereto by a flat block or plate 11 extending through a longitudinal slot 9 in the section 5 and serving as a connexion for adjusting the section 6 from the slidable collar 12 so as to vary the speed. An internal guide-rod 7 constitutes the third section, the outer end being supported in the gear casing. The collar 12 is operated by the sliding rod 38. The neutral position for the gear is obtained by sliding the rod 38 until the pinion 4 is moved beyond the outermost series of holes in the plate 1. Further movement of the rod engages the pinion 4 with the intermediate pinion 44 mounted on the fixed spindle 28, and at the same time shifts the reverse pinion 24 into gear with the outermost series of holes by means of the collar 40 and bell-crank lever 33, 32. The intermediate and reverse pinions rotate together. The plate 1 is integral with a sleeve 14 slidably mounted upon a tubular part 15 connected to the driving - member of the differential gear. The plate 1 may thus be withdrawn when the pinion 4 is being shifted, but is always connected in driving relation with the differential gear by means of teeth 16 engaging recesses in the disk. The operating mechanism for the plate 1 comprises eccentrics 18 mounted upon short shafts 20 and engaging with forks 17 connected to the sleeve 14. The shafts 20 are simultaneously rotated by means of a reciprocating rack engaging toothed pinions or sectors. A modified form of driving-shaft for the pinion 4 is shown, and the conformation of the intermeshing holes and teeth is described. The mouths of the holes gradually widen towards the face of the plate 1. Fig. 10 shows the approximate path of contact c, d, e on one of the teeth of the pinion. The teeth are turned symmetrical, but it would be sufficient if merely the part c, d, e were of the requisite shape.
