Description:
Abstract:

M1y invention relates to governors or regulators for automatic cut-off valve mechanisms, o and its object is to simplify and perfect the construction of a governor of such class and to eliminate in its operation the disturbing influences of gravity and inertia. To this end my invention, generally stated, ' consists in the combination of a weighted eccentric mounted adjustably upon a driving- shaft, a distribution-valve actuated by said eccentric, and a pressure device whereby the action of gravity and inertia upon the valve mechanism is balanced by the equivalent opposing action of steam or other fluid.

Claim:

The combination of a weighted eccentric mounted adjustably upon a driving-shaft, a distribution-valve coupled to and actuated by said eccentric, and a pressure device whereby the action of gravity and inertia, or either, upon the valve mechanism is neutralized by an equivalent opposing force.
