To all who-m it may concern:

Beit-known that I, CHARLES BENJAMIN REDRUP, a subject of the King of England,-

residing at Canton, Cardi, county of Glamorgan, Wales, England, have invented useful Im other and the two segmental portionslie on opposite sides of the valve stem D1. j --The counter-balance device operates to insure that the valve D will always open under the same degree of suction. Where rovements in the counter-balance devicevis placed at some or Valves, of which the followlng is a speciiication. The invention relates to a counter-balancing-devicev for a valve for use with internal combustion engines of the rotatin.; cylinder type" A According to the present invention there employed with a suction valve recessed on one side, a counter-balance device mounted in the recess so that it may lieat the same distance from the axis of rotation as control, it is difficult to so lconstruct it as to properly' control the By placing the weighted arms E, however, 1n a recessed portion of the valve lt-hey are equally affected with the valve bycen-trifugal action and therefore can be readily ad- )usted to properly counteract the centrifugal effect. Bypivoting the two arms on the valve itself they can be firmly secured With-N out interfering with liable to be broken when these devices are pivotedto it, and as the arms tend'to rise under centrifugal action` the lugs E3 press against the end of the hollow guide C2 a degree properly pro-y portionated to, that operating upon the The invention further relates to various details of construction hereinafter fully described and whereof the novel features are pointed out in the claims.
