Description: |
| Abstract:
The objects of the invention are to produce an engine of the class described, of simple and inexpensive construction, in which the arrangement is such as to provide for economy in the use of the propulsive vapor, to regulate the impulses which the engine receives and thereby control the speed thereof, to provide for proper adjustment of the valves to insure a proper seating thereof, and for taking up the wear around the stems of said valves, to provide for a perfect carburization of the air as it passes into the combustion or explosive chamber, and for regulating the supply of the explosive fluid.
Claims:
1. In a gas-engine, the combination of the reciprocating valve-stems carrying valves which are located in the combustion-chamber, springs for holding said valves normally closed, the rock-arm having the valve-actuating arms adapted to operate upon said valve stems to open said valves, a pivoted arm independent of the rock-arm-carrying fingers adapted to operate the valve-actuating arms to carry them into and out of alignment with said valve-stems, and means for actuating said finger-carrying arm.
2. In an engine, the combination with the reciprocating valve-stems, the sliding collar upon one of said valve-stems, a rock-arm, valve-actuating arms pivoted on said rockarm and adapted to engage the ends of said valve-stems, a pivoted arm carrying curved fingers adapted to operate the valve-actuating arms, said finger-carrying arm engaging said sliding collar whereby it is successively raised and lowered substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
3. In a gas-engine, the combination of the inlet-valve closing and opening communication with the combustion-chamber, an air passage-way communicating with said valve, a fixed collar on the end of said valve, a carburetting-chamber adjacent to said air passage-way, an opening connecting said passage-way with said chamber, a fluid-emitting valve projecting into said chamber in line with said opening, a movable gate interposed between said valve and opening, a spring-actuated lever pivoted in the engine-frame adapted to be engaged by the fixed collar on said valve-stem, a rod connecting said lever with said movable gate whereby said gate is actuated by the opening and closing of said valve.
4. In a gas-engine, the combination of the inlet-valve having a reciprocating valve-stem, a rock-arm carrying a pivoted arm adapted to engage and actuate said valve-stem to open said valve, a second pivoted arm carrying and finger adapted to engage and raise the valve-actuating arm, means controlled by the speed of the engine for swinging said finger carrying arm to raise said valve-actuating arm and maintain it out of alignment with said valve-stem so as to prevent the opening of said inlet-valve until the speed of the engine is reduced.
5. In a gas-engine, a governor mechanism comprising a rotary spool adapted to slide means for sliding said spool a pivoted spring upon its spindle, as its rotary speed varies, arm engaging a flange of said spool and carrying a projecting button, a lever on the pivot of said arm adapted to be moved thereby, a movable arm carrying a button adapted to engage the button on said spring-arm when moved into the path thereof by the sliding of said spool whereby the lever on the pivot of said spring-arm is actuated, means connected with and operated by said lever for preventing an impulse to the engine while said buttons are in position for engagement.
