Improvements in and relating to Explosion Engines.
1, WILLIAM BAINES, Jnr., of 166, Amesbury Avenue, Streatham Hill, London,
S.W, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows
-
This invention has reference to improvements in or relating to explosion engines
and my invention is especially applicable to oil engines. The object of my
invention is to keep the exhaust valve cool and at the same time to heat the air
and oil vapour whilst entering the explosion chamber, and my invention consists
in causing the air and oil vapour or other explosive mixture-to be drawn
round the exhaust valve so that in its passage into the explosion chamber, the
said explosive mixture will take up a considerable part of the heat of the said
exhaust valve the mixture thereby not only becoming heated-and therefore
rendered more easily explosive but also reducing very considerably the
temperature of the exhaust valve
In caving my invention into practice I may cast or otherwise form both the
exhaust and inlet valves and channels in one piece o 1 may make each separately
but in either event the passage of the inlet is around on along the exhaust valve
so that the air and oil are brought into contact with the hot surface of the
exhaust valve and passages
I wish it to be understood that I do not confine myself to any particular shape
or mannet of construction of the two valves and channels no to any particular
material or materials of which they may be made

manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement,-

mixture to be diawn round the exhaust valve so that in its passage into the
explosion chamber, the said explosive mixture will take up a considerable part
of the heat of the said exhaust valve the mixture thereby not only becoming
heated and therefore rendered more easily explosive but also reducing very con-
siderably the temperature of the exhaust valve
In carrying my invention into practice I may cast or otherwise form both the
inlet and exhaust valve cases in one piece or as shown in sectional side elevation
in Fig 1 of the accompanying drawing the inlet and exhaust valve cases A, B,
The air and oil vapour
respectively may be joined together about as shown
are admitted at a but instead of passing duect into the explosion chamber or
cylinder the said an and oil vapour are caused to hist pass into the exhaust valve
case B so that the said air and oil vapou are brought into contact with the
heated walls of said case B, thereby not only cooling the exhaust valve b to
some extent but also heating and rendering more readily explosive the mixture
before its entrance into the explosion chamber or cylinder.
Fig. 2 shows a sectional side elevation of the exhaust valve casing B the
section being at ught angles to that shown in Fig 1, C being a part of tho
explosion chamber or cylinder into which the vapourised oil and hot an pass
I wish it to be understood that I do not confine myself to any particular shape
o manner of construction of the two valves and channels nor to any particulai
material or materials of which they may be made
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my sand
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, 1 declare that what
I claim 18—
1. The improvements in and relating to explosion engines said improvements
consisting in causing the explosive mixture to pass around the exhaust valve
before entering the cylinder so as to take up heat from said exhaust valve, said
explosive mixture being thereby rendered more readily explosive, and also so as
, to reduce the temperature of said exhaust valve all substantially in the manner
set forth.
2 In an explosion engine the combination of an inlet valve containing case
with an exhaust valve containing case the two cases being integrally formed
and the passages within said cases being such that when the explosive muxture
has passed the inlet valve it will be caused to pass around or in close proximity
to the exhaust valve all for the purposes and substantially as set forth.
3 In an explosion engine a valve case containing an inlet valve and a valve
case containing an exhaust valve one case being secured to the other case by
Ecrewing or otherwise and the said cases having channels of passages so that
after the explosive mixture has passed the inlet valve it will be caused to travel
around o in close proximity to the exhaust valve all for the purposes and sub-
stantially as set forth
4 In an explosion engine the improved method of and means for heating the
explosive mixture and cooling the exhaust valve and passages substantially as
set forth.
