page_text: NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said
Henry Davies, do hereby declare that the nature of my said Invention, and the
manner in which the same is to be performed, is particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following description thereof, reference being had to
the Drawings hereunto annexed, and to the letters and figures marked thereon
(that is to say):
:-
My improvements in the construction of certain steam engines, and in the
application of steam to such engines, consists, first, in giving motion to the
piston or steam stop of a disc steam engine in order to accomodate, that
is, incline, the face or broad side of the said piston or stop, and keep it at
all times parallel to the direction of motion in which the face of the packing
in the side of the slit of the disc moves, also in the construction and arrange-
ment of the packing, suitable to the movements of such piston or stop;
secondly, in the adaptation and application of the slide valves or other means
to a disc steam engine, whereby I am enabled to cut off the supply of steam
to the cylinder at any desired part of the stroke or position of the disc of the
engine.
As my improvements are confined to that class of steam engines called
or known by the name of "disc engines," for improvements in which I
obtained Her Majesty's Royal Letters Patent in England, dated Fourteenth
June, One thousand eight hundred and thirty-eight, and enrolled a full
description of my Invention in Chancery on or about December Fourteenth of
the same year, it will not be necessary for me here to enter into a minute
description thereof, such constructions of engines being well known and under-
stood. It will, however, be necessary in the present instance to refer to my
former Specification for explanation of those parts which are immediately in
connection with my present improvements. The part of the disc engine
answering to an ordinary working cylinder, as therein described, has the cir-
cular form of a segment or zone of a sphere, with conical ends, the apices
of the cones pointing towards the centre of the sphere, and which chamber
or hollow zone is intersected by a moveable disc, having a ball in its
centre working in a socket, to which ball the end of an extended shaft or axle
is firmly secured at a right angle to the face of the disc, and as the disc is
made by the force of the steam to perform its undulatory course in the interior
of the hollow zone, the shaft or axle of the disc will describe a circle in the
form of the periphery of the frustrum of a cone, the diameter of which conc
will be in proportion to the distance of the outer end of the shaft from the
centre of motion, and thereby the moving disc may be made to communicate
rotary power to any other machinery by means of a crank or any other suitable

page_text: contrivance. In the accompanying Drawings are shewn different views of a
disc steam engine, with my improvements applied thereto.
Fig. 1 represents a plan or bird's-eye view of my improved disc engine com
plete. Fig. 2 is an elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a transverse section of
the engine taken in the line A, B, immediately in front of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a
transverse section taken in the line C, D, of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 represents the under
side of the machine, a portion of the zone (sometimes called the cylinder) being
removed, and the valve boxes shewn in section for the purpose of exhibiting the
interior arrangement of the several parts. Fig.6 is a vertical section taken longi-
tudinally in the direction of the axis of the engine. Figures 7, 8, 9, 10, 11,12,
and 13 represent upon an enlarged scale different views of the piston, and the
manner in which that part which works against the ball of the disc is packed.
Figs. 14 represent in plan one of the pieces of packing, against which the
round edges or conical sides of the piston work. These strips of packing are
fitted into the cones of the engine, and are kept in contact with the piston by
means of adjusting or set screws, as shewn in the Drawing. Fig. 15 is a
plan of the inside of a portion of one of the cones, the packing piece (repre-
sented at Figs. 14) being removed in order to shew the recess in which it is to
be placed.
Fig. 16 represents in section a portion of the cone taken in the
line E, F, through the packing recess, and between the steam passages seen
in the last figure. In Fig. 16 is also shewn the piston and a portion of the ball
of the disc, also the manner in which they are packed, and the way in which
the set screws are arranged for the purpose of forcing the packing up to the
rubbing surfaces of the ball and piston. Fig. 17 shews in section a portion of
the disc of the engine, with the ordinary packing round its circumference, and
also the radial strip of packing which acts against the face or broad side of the
piston as represented in the Drawing. Fig. 18 is an edge view of the last
figure, the packing strip appearing in perspective. Fig. 19 is a section taken
in the line G, H, of Fig. 18, showing the edge or face of that part of the strip
of packing which presses against the piston, and also the manner in which the
said strip of packing and packing rings surrounding the disc are fitted together
in order to prevent the leakage of the steam. In all these views it will be seen
that the packing contained in the end of the piston which is in contact with the
ball, and that last described in contact with the broad face or side of the piston,
are forced out and kept steam-tight by means of spiral springs. The same
letters of reference are used to indicate corresponding parts in all these Figures.
A, A, is the hollow zone (or working cylinder) of an ordinary disc engine; B
and Care the toothed conical ends bolted to the hollow zone A of the engine;
D is the disc, aud E is the central ball; F, the radial slit of the disc. .In this

page_text: slit F, and between the cones, is placed the moveable piston or stop G, packed
with any suitable material, and which piston G forms an abutment for the
steam, as in ordinary disc engines, and has an axle passing through a stuffing
box H, in the outer casing of the zone A. The construction of this piston will
be better understood by reference to the Figures 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13;
Fig. 7 being a section taken through the centre in the line I, J, of Fig. 9;
Fig. 6 is a plan of the upper or small end; and Fig. 9, a section taken in the
line K, L, of Figures 7 and 8; Figures 10 and 11 are different views of the
metallic packing, placed in the small end of the piston. It will be seen that
the piston is composed of two parts G and G., and held together by screws as
shewn in the Drawing; the part G being shewn detached at Figures 12 and
13. In the part G and G* recesses are formed, in which the packing a is
placed. This packing is forced outwards, by means of the springs b, b, acting
against the inner end. The packing c in the disc works steam-tight against the
piston, and prevents the passage of steam between the chambers X & Y,
which chambers are alternately formed by the movements of the disc. This
packingc,shown at Figures 4 and 6, and upon an enlarged scale at Figures 17,
18,and 19,itwill be seen is fitted and slides in a groove cut in the disc D, the
inner end entering the ball of the disc; the outer end,which works against the
interior of the cylinder A, is made wedge-shaped, or bevelled on each side in
the direction of its length, and that side which works against the piston is
slightly rounded. This packing is kept in contact with the piston by means
of the spiral springs d and e, shewn in Fig. 17. A modification of the
last-described packing is shewn at Figs. 23 and 24, where it will be
seen that the packing c works in a circular groove in the side of the
slit of the disc, and thereby suits itself to the inclinations of the piston G.
The packing f, in the cones against which the edges of the piston work,
is shown at Figures 5 and 6, and in the enlarged views Figures 14, 15,
and 16. The packing placed in a recess made in the cones (as before
stated) between the steam passages l, m, n, and o, is set up to and kept
in contact with the piston by means of the set screws g, g, as shown in
Figs. 6 and 16. I is the disc shaft of the engine (sometimes called the
diagonal shaft), the inner end of which is firmly secured to the ball of the
disc; J is the main or driving shaft, supported in suitable bearings of the
framework K; this shaft has an arm L projecting from it, which connects it
to the disc shaft I of the engine. On the shaft J is placed an eccentric M,
which excentric works or turns in the ring N of the bow-shaped rod O. This
rod O is attached at each end to the studs of an oval rod P, placed in a
vertical position, and having at its lower part beneath the engine a socket

page_text: in which the axis of the piston G is secured; at its upper part there is another
socket, in which a pin is placed, that turns in the bearing Q, fixed on the top
of the cylinder A. R is the steam pipe connected with the induction, and.S
the pipe connected with the eduction passages of the engine. T and U are
the valve boxes in which the slide valves work. a is a lever connected at one
end, by means of the rods b, to the excentric M, on the shaft J. This lever has
its fulcrum at c, and is connected to an arm fixed to the horizontal shaft, by
the rod d, and to the hollow shaft g (through which the shaft f passes, and
in which it freely works), by the rod c. These shafts are connected in the
usual way by the links h, and stems i, to the slide valves j and k.
Having pointed out the various parts of my improved disc engine, I will
now proceed to describe the manner in which it operates. It will be seen
by reference to Fig. 5 that the valvej is open and the valve shut, con-
sequently the steam will rush in the direction of the arrow through the
passage into the chamber X, and exert its full force upon that portion of
surface of the disc D exposed to its action. This surface or arca will be better
seen and understood by referring to Fig. 4, where the area of the disc which
is being acted upon by the full pressure of the steam is pointed out. The
pressure of steam in the cylinder will cause the disc D, by means of the
diagonal shaft I, to give motion to the main shaft J. This shaft, by means of
the excentric working in the ring of the rod 0, communicates, by the agency of
the bow rod O, a horizontal reciprocating motion to the oval rod P, which rod P,
in like manner, causes the piston to turn round a short distance upon its axis,
forming an angle with the horizontal axis of the zone chamber or cylinder A, at
all times equal to half the angle formed by the axis of the diagonal shaft I with
the same horizontal line. The ring N of the bow'rod O, before mentioned, as it
is acted upon by the excentric M, communicates motion to the lever a, through
the agency of the rod b, and the lever a, by means of the rods d and e, com-
municates motion round their axes (in opposite directions) to the shaftsfand
g, which, by the agency of the links h, h, and stems i, i, communicate to the
valves j and k the motions required. A modification of the above contrivance,
by which motion may be communicated to the piston G, is shewn in Figures
20 and 21, Fig, 20 being an end elevation, and Fig. 21 a view of the under
side of the cylinder of the engine. A spur wheel on the main shaft J com-
municates motion, by means of the spur wheel o and p, to a shaft q. On this
shaft is placed a crank, the throw of which is equal to half that of tho
crank on the main shaft J, and this crank, as it revolves, communicates a
suitable motion, by the agency of the rod r, to the piston G.

page_text: Having now described my Invention, and the manner in which the same is
to be carried into effect, I wish it to be understood that I lay no claim to any
particular manner of giving motion to the piston or stop G, for the purpose
above set forth and described, nor limit myself to the form of the piston or
stop there shown, nor to the packing, as that must be varied to suit the form
of piston. But that which I claim as my Invention, and to be secured to
me under the above in part recited Letters Patent, is,―
Firstly, the employment of a moveable piston or steam stop to a disc engine,
of the form which may be found most suitable, and also giving to that steam
stop such suitable movements, by any convenient means as circumstances may
require.
Secondly, cutting off the supply of steam from the zone chamber or working
cylinder, at any portion of the stroke or position of the disc, and working the
engine by means of its expansive force.
In witness whereof, I, the said Henry Davies, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Thirteenth day of January, in the year of our
Lord One thousand eight hundred and forty-five..
AND BE IT REMEMBERED, that on the same Thirteenth day of January,
in the year above mentioned, the aforesaid Henry Davies came before our
Lady the Queen in Her Chancery, and acknowledged the Specification afore-
said, and all and every thing therein contained, in form above written. And
also the Specification aforesaid was stamped according to the tenor of the
Statute in that case made and provided.

disc steam engine, with my improvements applied thereto.
Fig. 1 represents a plan or bird's-eye view of my improved disc engine com
plete. Fig. 2 is an elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a transverse section of
the engine taken in the line A, B, immediately in front of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a
transverse section taken in the line C, D, of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 represents the under
side of the machine, a portion of the zone (sometimes called the cylinder) being
removed, and the valve boxes shewn in section for the purpose of exhibiting the
interior arrangement of the several parts. Fig.6 is a vertical section taken longi-
tudinally in the direction of the axis of the engine. Figures 7, 8, 9, 10, 11,12,
and 13 represent upon an enlarged scale different views of the piston, and the
manner in which that part which works against the ball of the disc is packed.
Figs. 14 represent in plan one of the pieces of packing, against which the
round edges or conical sides of the piston work. These strips of packing are
fitted into the cones of the engine, and are kept in contact with the piston by
means of adjusting or set screws, as shewn in the Drawing. Fig. 15 is a
plan of the inside of a portion of one of the cones, the packing picce (repre-
sented at Figs. 14) being removed in order to shew the recess in which it is to
be placed.
Fig. 16 represents in section a portion of the cone taken in the
line E, F, through the packing recess, and between the steam passages seen
in the last figure. In Fig. 10 is also shewn the piston and a portion of the ball
of the disc, also the manner in which they are packed, and the way in which
the set screws are arranged for the purpose of forcing the packing up to the
rubbing surfaces of the ball and piston. Fig. 17 shews in section a portion of
the disc of the engine, with the ordinary packing round its circumference, and
also the radial strip of packing which acts against the face or broad side of the
piston as represented in the Drawing. Fig. 18 is an edge view of the last
figure, the packing strip appearing in perspective. Fig. 19 is a section taken
in the line G, H, of Fig. 18, shewing the edge or face of that part of the strip
of packing which presses against the piston, and also the manner in which the
said strip of packing and packing rings surrounding the discare fitted together
in order to prevent the leakage of the steam. In all these views it will be seen
that the packing contained in the end of the piston which is in contact with the
ball, and that last described in contact with the broad face orsideofthe piston,
are forced out and kept steam-tight by means of spiral springs. The same
letters of reference are used to indicate corresponding parts in all these Figures-
A, A, is the hollow zone (or working cylinder) of an ordinary disc engine; B
and C are the toothed conical ends bolted to the hollow zone A of the engine;
D is the disc, and E is the central ball; F, the radial slit of the disc. .In this

page_text: slit F, and between the cones, is placed the moveable piston or stop G, packed
with any suitable material, and which piston G forms an abutment for the
steam, as in ordinary disc engines, and has an axle passing through a stuffing
box H, in the outer casing of the zone A. The construction of this piston will
be better understood by reference to the Figures 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13;
Fig. 7 being a section taken through the centre in the line I, J, of Fig. 9;
Fig. 6 is a plan of the upper or small end; and Fig. 9, a section taken in the
line K, L, of Figures 7 and 8; Figures 10 and 11 are different views of the
metallic packing, placed in the small end of the piston. It will be seen that
the piston is composed of two parts G and G*, and held together by screws as
shewn in the Drawing; the part G* being shewn detached at Figures 12 and
13. In the part G and G* recesses are formed, in which the packing a is
placed. This packing is forced outwards, by means of the springs b, b, acting
against the inner end. The packing c in the disc works steam-tight against the
piston, and prevents the passage of steam between the chambers X & Y,
which chambers are alternately formed by the movements of the disc. This
packing, shown at Figures 4 and 6, and upon an enlarged scale at Figures 17,
18, and 19,itwill be seen is fitted and slides in a groove cut in the disc 1), the
inner end entering the ball of the disc; the outer end, which works against the
interior of the cylinder A, is made wedge-shaped, or bevelled on each side in
the direction of its length, and that side which works against the piston is
slightly rounded. This packing is kept in contact with the piston by means
of the spiral springs d and e, shewn in Fig. 17. A modification of the
last-described packing is shewn at Figs. 23 and 24, where it will be
seen that the packing works in a circular groove in the side of the
slit of the disc, and thereby suits itself to the inclinations of the piston G.
The packing f, in the cones against which the edges of the piston work,
is shown at Figures 5 and 6, and in the enlarged views Figures 14, 15,
and 16. The packing placed in a recess made in the cones (as before
stated) between the steam passages l, m, n, and o, is set up to and kept
in contact with the piston by means of the set screws g, g, as shown in
Figs. 6 and 16. I is the disc shaft of the engine (sometimes called the
diagonal shaft), the inner end of which is firmly secured to the ball of the
disc; J is the main or driving shaft, supported in suitable bearings of the
framework K; this shaft has an arm L projecting from it, which connects it
to the disc shaft I of the engine. On the shaft J is placed an eccentric M,
which excentric works or turns in the ring N of the bow-shaped rod O. This
rod O is attached at each end to the studs of an oval rod P, placed in a
vertical position, and having at its lower part beneath the engine a socket

page_text: in which the axis of the piston G is secured; at its upper part there is another
socket, in which a pin is placed, that turns in the bearing Q, fixed on the top
of the cylinder A. R is the steam pipe connected with the induction, and S
the pipe connected with the eduction passages of the engine. T and U arc
the valve boxes in which the slide valves work. a is a leverconnected at one
end, by means of the rods b, to the excentric M, on the shaft J. This lever has
its fulcrum at c, and is connected to an arm fixed to the horizontal shaft, by
the rod d, and to the hollow shaft g (through which the shaft passes, and
in which it freely works), by the rod e. These shafts are connected in the
usual way by the links h, and stems i, to the slide valves j and h.
Having pointed out the various parts of my improved disc engine, I will
now proceed to describe the manner in which it operates. It will be seen
by reference to Fig. 5 that the valvej is open and the valve shut, con-
sequently the steam will rush in the direction of the arrow through the
passage into the chamber X, and exert its full force upon that portion of
surface of the disc D exposed to its action. This surface or area will be better
seen and understood by referring to Fig. 4, where the area of the disc which
is being acted upon by the full pressure of the steam is pointed out. The
pressure of steam in the cylinder will cause the disc D, by means of the
diagonal shaft I, to give motion to the main shaft J. This shaft, by means of
the excentric working in the ring of the rod (), communicates, by the agency of
the bow rod O, a horizontal reciprocating motion to the oval rod P, which rod P,
in like manner, causes the piston to turn round a short distance upon its axis,
forming an angle with the horizontal axis of the zone chamber or cylinder A, at
all times equal to half the angle formed by the axis of the diagonal shaft I with
the same horizontal line. The ring N of the bow rod O, before mentioned, as it
is acted upon by the excentric M, communicates motion to the lever a, through
the agency of the rod b, and the lever a, by means of the rods d and e, com-
municates motion round their axes (in opposite directions) to the shafts and
g, which, by the agency of the links h, h, and stems i, i, communicate to the
valves j and the motions required. A modification of the above contrivance,
by which motion may be communicated to the piston G, is shewn in Figures
20 and 21, Fig, 20 being an end elevation, and Fig. 21 a view of the under
side of the cylinder of the engine. A spur wheel on the main shaft J com-
municates motion, by means of the spur wheel o and p, to a shaft q. On this
shaft 9 is placed a crank, the throw of which is equal to half that of the
crank on the main shaft J, and this crank, as it revolves, communicates a
suitable motion, by the agency of the rod r, to the piston G.

page_text: Having now described my Invention, and the manner in which the same is
to be carried into effect, I wish it to be understood that I lay no claim to any
particular manner of giving motion to the piston or stop G, for the purpose
above set forth and described, nor limit myself to the form of the piston or
