IMPROVEMENTS IN GAS ENGINES
Year: 1884

page_text: I JOB BRINE 33 Stafford Road Old Ford Engineer do hereby declare the nature
of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN GAS ENGINES to be as follows:-
First Arrangements of exhaust valve and motions attached thereto.
Second Admission of gas, form of valve, and movements connected therewith.
Third the admission of air with the igniting flame.
First The said improvements consist of a slide or gridiron valve working on
the side or bottom of the cylinder and worked by a tappet motion connected to
the crosshead Thus opening and closing the exhaust port at each stroke of the
engine.
Second The admission of gas is through a circular cock or valve having an
elongated port in the bottom of the cylinder of an area according to the power of
the engine the said cock or valve being worked by an eccentric on the crank shaft
the rod connecting itself with the valve by means of a ratchet motion the duration
of contact between the rod and valve.being under the control of the governors.
Third The admission of air is effected through a clak valve in the bottom of the
cylinder which opens as the piston turns the centre and admits air the gas being
admitted at the same time the flame being drawen in with the air the explosion
takes place closing the valve until the stroke has been completed.

page_text: I JOB BRINE of 33 Stafford Road Old Ford Engineer do hereby declare the nature
of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN GAS ENGINES and in what manner the same
is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:―
•
1st My invention consists in a slide or gridiron valve on the side or underneath
the cylinder, worked by a tappet motion, on rod with two stops, between which
runs a ring fixed to the crosshead of piston rod, thus opening the exhaust port
instantly before return stroke of piston, to prevent any opposing power and closing
same at end of return, making it ready to receive gas.
2nd In the admission of gas through a circular cock or valve (having an
elongated port in the bottom or end of cylinder of an area according to the power
of engine) the said cock being worked by an eccentric on the crank shaft with
rod, connected with the cock or valve by means of a ratchet motion the duration
of contact being under the control of the governors; thus regulating the supply
of gas.
3rd In the admission of air and flame together, through a clack valve in the
bottom or end of cylinder (in front of which is a single and the only gas jet) that
opens as the piston turns the centre, drawing in air and flame to the gas (admitted
same time through the circular cock) causing an explosion that closes the clack
valve until the stroke is completed, thereby using the entire explosive force at the

page_text: M is the clack valve covering the port or passage. N at the back of the piston I.
In front of the port N is a gas jet O. The said clack valve opens as the piston
commences its forward stroke, drawing in air and the flame of the gas jet O to
the gas which is admitted at the same time through the cock G. The explosion
thus caused closes the clack valve M until the stroke is completed, the entire force
of the explosion being utilized at the back of the piston.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
First In a gas engine, a slide or gridiron valve A'with rod D having a tappet
motion from the ring E on the cross-head of the piston substantially as and for the
purpose herein set forth.
Second: In a gas engine, the circular cock or valve G with rod J operated by
eccentric L and ratchet motion K substantially as and for the purpose berein set
forth.
Third: In a gas engine, the admission of air and flame together at the back of
the piston, through the clack valvo M substantially as herein set forth.
