Description: |
| The Inventors' Firm, H. & F. Blandy, Also Made Sawmills.
Abstract:
This invention consists in an improved arrangement of the valve-chest and valve and of the connections between the valve-rod and eccentric, whereby the power to drive the valve is transmitted in a more direct manner.
The invention is applicable with more especial advantage to horizontal engines, in which the valve chest and valve are on the top of the cylinder, in which case it dispenses with the rock-shaft commonly used in such engines.
Claim:
We claim as our invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent-The method of connecting the valve-rod a with the eccentric-strap G by means of the offset arm e, diagonal brace I, and rod H, forming a frame which is jointed to the end of the valve-rod. |
