Abstract

114,286. Smithey, W. D. Dec. 5, 1917. Actuating pumps; compressing-plant, general arrangement of; valves, arrangement of. - A double-acting air compressor is actuated through a crank and connecting-rod by a windmill rotatably mounted on a hollow tower, which has an internal flange for supporting the compressor, and of which the lower part forms a reservoir for the compressed air. A wind wheel of usual construction is secured to a crank shaft 7, Fig. 5, mounted in bearings 6 in a yoke 4, which is free to rotate in an annular track formed by an external flange 2 on the hollow tower 1 and a collar 5 secured to the tower. A vane is pivoted to lugs extending from the yoke 4 and may be set to position the wheel towards or away from the wind. The crank is connected by a rod 44a to the piston-rod 44, Fig. 2, of the compressor, which is supported within the tower on an annular flange 8 formed with air inlet and outlet ports 9, 10, the port 9 having an attached pipe 11 communicating with the atmosphere. A flange 14 on the cylinder 15 fits in a seat 13 in the flange 8, and a cap 29 secured on the flange has air ports and a central opening 30 with packing-rings 61 and a gland 62 for the rod 44, to which is secured a piston 42 with packing-rings 43. The inlet valves 19, 35 have guided rods each acted upon by two springs separated by nuts adjusted normally to keep the valves in open position, while the outlet valves 25, 39 are normally held closed by springs. When the wind wheel is rotating slowly, the air is not compressed sufficiently to close the inlet valves and the air is worked to and fro in the inlet passages, but when a certain velocity of the piston is reached, the inlet valves close and air is forced past the outlet valves into the reservoir formed by the lower part of the tower, from which the compressed air may be drawn through a cock for power purposes. A supply of lubricating-oil is maintained within the tower above the compressor to the level 63.
