Description: |
| Abstract:
This invention relates to that class of automatically controlled fly-governors which io employ a spiral spring to resist the centrifugal throw of the governor-balls, a vertically-playing governor-cap to which the governor-balls are connected by arms, the downward movement of which cap operates on the valve-stem to close the valve in regulating the supply of steam to the engine-cylinder, and a speeder having a thumb-wheel attached to the spring of said speeder for regulating its tension.
Claim:
he combination of the upright spindle, -the lower revoluble collar; the revoluble, verically-movable governor-cap, a spiral spring, on said spindle between the governor-cap and-collar; solid spherical governor-balls having the lower integral arms pivoted to said-revoluble collar, said governor-balls having the-interior recessed openings beginning at one side of the interior- center and extending therefrom, laterally upward obliquely, and obliquely laterally downward to the periphery toward the spring, thus opening this entire side and a portion of the top, said opening flaring both ways laterally at the edges next to the spring, and the arms pivoted at the upper end to the governor-cap, and pivoted at the lower end in the recessed opening at the interior center of the governor-balls. |
