page_text: I, HENRY SIDEBOTTOM, of Flixton Road, Urmston, in the County of Lancaster,
Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows;-
-
My object is to form a more sensitive governor for hydraulic motors than has
hitherto been made.
I accomplish this as follows:-
Inside a suitable chamber I fit a suitable upright tube of suitable diameter,
at the top of which is placed a suitable plunger or expansion with one or more
suitable small holes or orifices.
Fitting over and upon this plunger is a suitable tube with a closed top, con-
nected at its closed end, by means of suitable levers, with the supply valve of
the hydraulic motor.
Connected with the upright tube beforementioned is a pipe by which pressure
water is admitted to the upright tube in supplies regulated by an ordinary small
ball or other governor geared to any suitable working part of the hydraulic
motor.
The water admitted into the upright tube finds its way through the small
orifices in the plunger into the closed tube, raising and lowering it, on the plunger
as required and thus, by means of the suitable connections, regulating the supply
to the hydraulic motor.
By this means a very small ball governor can be utilized to regulate the supply
to the largest hydraulic motor, the whole apparatus being of the most exquisite
sensitiveness.
An Improved Governor for Hydraulic Motors.
I, HENRY SIDEBOTTOM, of Flixton Road, Urmston, in the County of Lancaster,
Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement;

Inside a suitable chamber I fit a suitable upright tube of suitable diameter,
at the top of which is placed a suitable plunger or expansion with one or more
small holes or orifices.
Fitting over and upon this plunger is a suitable tube with a closed top, con-
nected at its closed end by means of suitable levers with the supply valve of
the hydraulic motor.
Connected with the upright tube before mentioned is a pipe by which pressure
water is admitted to the upright tube in supplies regulated by an ordinary small
ball, or other, governor, geared to any suitable working part of the hydraulic
motor. The water admitted into the upright tube finds its way through the small
orifices in the plunger, into the closed tube, raising and lowering it on the
plunger as required, and thus by means of the suitable connections, regulating the
supply to the hydraulic motor.
By this means a very small ball governor can be utilized to regulate the supply
to the largest hydraulic motor, the whole apparatus being of the most exquisite
sensitiveness.
Referring to the drawings sent herewith:-
Fig. 1 shows a section of my improved governor in its simplest form.
a indicates a suitable chamber in which is fixed upright tube b expanding at
its upper end into plunger c, furnished with orifices d d. Fitting over the upright
tube 6 and sliding upon plunger c is tube f closed at its upper end f¹ but furnished
with air valve f. Attached to upper end fl of tube f is upright rod g weighted
to assist the downward motion of tube f and overcome the weight and friction of
any levers such as by which it is connected with the supply valve of the motor.
The regulator water is admitted by inlet i (the supply being controlled as
before described by a suitable small governor on some working part of the motor
or its adjuncts) and finds its exit, after use, by outlet k.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
The combined apparatus, substantially as described and shown herein before
and in the accompanying drawings, for the purpose set forth.
