Description: |
| Abstract:
The object of my invention is to provide a governor simple in construction, consisting of few parts that can be easily replaced, the combination and adjustment being such as to give perfect regulation.
Claims:
1. In a centrifugal governor, the combination with a shaft, a yoke attached to said shaft, a movable sleeve and a spring housed therein to hold said sleeve in normal position, of balls having arms pivoted to said yoke, independent of but adapted to engage and move said sleeve against the action of said spring, substantially as specified.
2. In a centrifugal governor, a bifurcated frame, a shaft journaled in said frame, having a reduced portion, forming a shoulder thereon, a movable sleeve bearing on the reduced portion of said shaft and having a recess therein bearing on the larger portion of said shaft, a spring in said recess bearing against the shoulder of said shaft, a yoke attached to said shaft, balls having arms pivoted to said yoke and adapted to bear against one end of said sleeve and a pivoted lever adapted to contact With and be moved by said sleeve, substantially as specified.
3. In a gas-engine, the combination with a centrifugal governor having a bifurcated frame, a shaft journaled in said frame having a reduced portion forming a shoulder thereon, a movable sleeve bearing on the reduced portion of said shaft and having a recess therein bearing on the larger portion of said shaft, a spring in said recess bearing against the shoulder of said shaft to hold said sleeve in its normal position, a yoke attached to said shaft, balls having arms pivoted to said yoke and adapted to bear against one end of said sleeve to move the same in one direction, of a supply-valve, an intermediate movable member of the operating mechanisms for said valve, a spring to hold said movable member in its normal position, and a pivoted lever, one end of which contacts with one end of and is moved by said sleeve when said sleeve is operated by said balls, the other end of said lever contacting with said movable member, whereby said movable member is thrown in and out of engagement with said operating mechanisms, substantially as specified.
4. In a gas engine, the combination with the movable member of a centrifugal governor a supply-valve and an intermediate movable member of the operating mechanism for the supply-valve, of a pivoted lever, the respective ends of which contact said movable members and an adjustable pivot for said lever to regulate the speed of said engine and take up the wear in the operating parts, substantially as specified.
