Improvements in Gas and Oil Engines.
JOSEPH PICKLES BINNS, No. 75, High Street Luddenden in the County of
York, Engineer HENRY GREENWOOD BINNS of Thorp Terrace Luddenden in
the County of York Draughtsman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
:―
Firstly. Our improvements consists in forcing out of compression chamber the
exploded gases. To accomplish this we have au excentric with a toothed wheel ou
the crank or crank pin and the said toothed wheel is geared with other wheels to a
stationary wheel on the crank shaft, and as the crank shaft revolves a rotary
motion is given to the excentric, the excentric revolves once while the crauk shaft
revolves twice. Therefore the piston which is coupled by the connecting rod is
caused to move into compression chamber at the proper time, and thereby forces
out the exploded gases, and making room for a larger charge in either gas or oil
engines.
Secondly. The use of a check valve to prevent gas from flowing through hole
between main and gas bag while engine is taking in gas supply from bag. The
said valve is pivoted on centre points with wing or flap covering said hole between
main and gas bag, and so constructed as to be closed by weight while engine is
drawing in gas supply from bag.
Thirdly. The use of a valve which we call a oil valve, and consists of a pointed
spindle, weight, and small bole. The said small hole is to allow oil to pass through
into air passage, when spindle and weight is lifted by lever which is under control
of governor the oil flowes.
Fourthly. The combindation of the aforesaid oil valve with air passage, and air
valve. The said oil valve is in the said passage, behind the said air valve.
Fifthly. The employement of a valve between vaporizer and compression
chamber. The said valve is under control of governor thereby regulating supply
of vapor from vaporizer into cylinder.
Sixthly. The use of a reservoir or jacket round cylinder end for heating air
before being drawn into vaporizer. Thereby aiding in vaporizing the oil inore
rapidly.

Improvements in Gas and Oil Engines.
We, JOSEPH PICKLES BINNS No. 75 High Street, Luddenden, in the County
of York, Engineer, HENRY GREENWOOD BINNS, Thorp Terrace, Luddender, in
the County of York, Draughtsman, 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:
Firstly. Our improvements relate to means, to be employed for forcing the

page_text: exploded gases out of compression chamber. To accomplish this we employ an
eccentric with a toothed wheel on the crank pin, the said toothed wheel being
geared with other wheels to a stationary one on the crank shaft and as the crank
shaft revolves a rotary motion is given to the eccentric which revolves ouce, while
the crank shaft revolves twice, therefore the piston which is coupled by connecting
rod is caused to move into the compression chamber at the proper time for
forcing out the exploded gases and making room for a larger charge for either
gas or oil.
Figs. 1, 2, 3 of the accompanying drawings illustrate this part of our invention
where A is the crank shaft, B the crank, and C the crank pin. D is an eccentric
placed upon the crank pin, one side of which forms part of a toothed wheel E
coupled to another half of a toothed wheel F.
Both the cam and the compound toothed wheel E F are made in two parts as
shewn in Fig. 3 so that we can get them on to the crank pin C and they are bolted
together by bolts as shewn at G. This double toothed wheel which gears with a
pinion H and mounted on the same stud, is another pinion I gearing with a pinion J
fixed in the bearing K and it may form part of the pedestal L, therefore when
the crank revolves, the pinion I turns upon the stationary pinion J whereby the
former is rotated imparting motion to the eccentric, causing the piston M to be
reciprocated backward and forward, but we wish it to be understood, that when
the piston is made to advance to compress the gases the eccentric is so placed as to
give the piston its shortest stroke, and when the piston makes its most forward
stroke, it is then forcing the gases out of the explosion chamber so as to completely
empty the chamber from the explosive mixture leaving room and a clear space for
the new gases.
Secondly. Our invention consists in the use of a check valve to prevent gas from
flowing through an opening between the main service pipe and the gas pipe whilst
the engine is taking gas from the said pipe.
This part of our invention is illustrated in Figs. 4 and 5 where N is the gas bag
and O the inlet pipe for gas. P represents a valve pivoted at a and weighted at b
which weight keeps the valve to its seating, but when the engine is taking-in gas
and a partial vacuum formed in the bag N the valve P will be drawn down from
its seating and admit a fresh supply of gas into the bag, which when done the
valve will close again through the medium of weight b.
In order to make the valve sensitive and act freely it is mounted upon centres
as shewn at c in Fig. 5.
Thirdly. Our invention consists in the use of a valve which we call an oil valve
and consists of a weighted pointed spindle and small hole. The said small hole is
to allow oil to pass through into air passage when the said spindle and weight is
lifted by lever under the control of the governor.
This part of our invention is shewn in Fig. 6 which illustrates such parts of an
oil engine as are necessary to shew the application thereto of our invention.
R represents the vaporiser and S is the air passage for admitting air to the vaporiser
through the valve T as shewn in Fig. 7.
U represents a vertical pointed spindle, the bottom of which forms a valve for
closing a small opening or valve & which admits oil to the vaporiser. The upper
end of the vertical valve spindle U carries a weight V for the purpose of closing
the valve, but the said valve is opened at the proper time by the pendulous
governor W which is made to reciprocate backwards and forwards horizontally by
means of crank or eccentric from the crank shaft or other convenient source.
point X of the said pendulous governor W strikes a projection e on the lower arm
of bell crank lever the upper arm of said lever coming underneath a sleeve Z
secured to the weight V such said weight being also attached to the top of the
vertical spindle U.
The
Fourthly. Our invention relates to, the use of a reservoir or jacket arranged
around the cylinder end for heating atmospheric air before it is drawn into the
vaporiser thereby aiding in rapidly vaporising the oil.

page_text: This part of our invention is shewn in Fig. 8 where R is the vaporiser and S the
air chamber. fis a water chamber and we combine and add to it the jacket or air
chamber through which hot air is made to pass thereby warming the air
chamber and the surrounding parts of the vaporiser, consequently when the
oil is admitted the highly heated air assists in more quickly vaporising the said oil.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
Firstly. In oil or gas engines the means or method of imparting to the
compression piston a more forward motion when expelling exploded gases from the
cylinder, than when compressing gases all arranged and operated in the manner
substantially as described and shewn in the drawings.
Secondly. In gas engines the use of a check valve between the service pipe and
gas bag arranged and operated substantially as shewn in Figs. 4 and 5.
Thirdly. In oil engines the combination therewith of a weighted pointed spindle
valve for admitting oil to the vaporiser such said weighted spindle being operated
through the medium of the governor as described and shewn in Figs, 6 and 7.
Fourthly. In oil and gas engines the combination of a valve comprising a
weighted vertical spindle valve operated by the governor in combination with
the air passage S and air valve valve T as described and shewn in Fig. 7.
Fifthly. In oil engines the combination therewith of a reservoir or jacket g
arranged around the air passage S for the purposes described and arranged
substantially as shewn in Fig. 8.
