Application filed May 24, 1913. Serial No. 769,658.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, BOUDEWIJN B. XEL'TEBOOM, a sub ect of the Queen of the Netherlands, and CECIL HAMELIN TAYLOR,

a citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, county of \Vayne, State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Explosion-Engines, and declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and, exact description of the same, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

Our invention relates to explosion enginesand an object of our improvements is to provide an improved construction in which the various passages may be properly formed in the casting and in which said passages may be effectively cooled, cleaned and inspected. WVe secure this object in the device illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which,

Figure 1, is a side elevation of an enbloc casting of a four-cylinder engine, the cover plate being removed. Fig. 2, is an elevation of said cover plate separate from the casting. Fig. 3, is a section on the line C-C Figs. 1 and 2. Fig. 4, is a section on the line DD Figs. 1 and 2.. Fig. 5, is a plan view, the head of the cylinder being removed and the plate shown secured in place at the side of the cylinder casting. Fig. 6, is an elevation showing the inside of the cover plate. Fig. 7, is a section on the line GG Figs. 1," 2 and 5.

a a is the pa.rt of the casting including the cylinders.

12 indicates the removable cover plate.

The casting a is provided with a water jacket opening at the side near the top and into the casting and through the water jacket extend the intake passages (Z1! and exhaust passages e c e 0. These passages extend to the various valves 7' and 7:: and are surrounded by the water space g, 9 also opening at the side of the casting toward the top thereof.

0 is a portion of an intake manifold formed in the casting a.

The water space 5 the portion of the manifold c and the openings from the passages e e e e are surrounded by walls which are faced off at their outer edges.

The cover plate 6 is provided with an exhaust manifold f extending longitudinally thereof along its upper portion and is provided with the complementary portion 0 of the intake manifold and also with openings 2? i 2' 2'. corresponding to and adapted to register with, the openings 6 c e a and opening into the exhaust manifold f. The cover plate I) is cored out for a water space and is provided with openings m m communicating with said water space and with the water space g in the casting a when the cover plate is in place.

n n n are bolt holes in the casting a and 0 0 0 are corresponding holes in the cover plate I). The cover plate is placed against the sides of the cylinder a, the faced-off surfaces shown in Fig. (3 fitting against the faced-off surfaces above described upon the casting a, a proper joint is formed between the casting a and the cover plate 7), and the cover plate is held in place by bolts passing into the apertures m 0.

is the opening in which the cooling water passes into the water space of the cover I) and thence through holes on m in the water space of the casting a.

j, j, j, j are exhaust valves. [ski-:10 are intake valves, these valves are in line with each other and their stems in one plane parallel to the plane of the axis of the cylinders in the casting a.

By this arrangement we secure a casting in which the various passages are formed with the water space surrounding them and the casting can be readily observed as to the perfection of the walls of these passages, the intake passages may be completely clean including the intake manifold, and the parts may be readily assembled and the various cores easily and properly supported.

What we claim is:

1. A cylinder casting having an intake manifold, said casting consisting of two parts, the dividing plane between said parts passing longitudinally through said manifold so as to cut a main passage of said manifold longitudinally dividing it into two parts that are accessible for cleaning the interior walls when the parts are parted.

2. A cylinder casting having a water space, an intake manifold and gas passages, said casting consisting of two parts, the dividing plane between said two parts passing longitudinally through said intake manifold and cutting said passages and space.

3. A cylinder casting having a water space, an intake manifold and gas passages,

said casting consisting of two parts, the-dividing plane between said two parts passing longitudinally through said intake manifold and cutting said passages and space, said passages being surrounded by said water space so that the interior of their walls shall be accessible for cleaning when the parts are separated.

4. A cylinder casting consisting in part of a removable plate, said casting having an intake manifold, an exhaust manifold, and water space so that the interior of their walls shall be accessible for cleaning when the parts are separated, a part of the intake manifold being in said removable plate,.

valve passages and the complementary part of the intake manifold in the other of said parts, said plate being adapted to be secured to the other of said parts so as to complete said intake manifold and secure a connection between the water spaces in the two parts, and a communication between the exhaust manifold and the exhaust passages of the other of said parts. v

5. A cylindercasting consisting in part of a removable plate, said casting having an intake manifold, an exhaust manifold and Water space, a part of the intake manifold being in said removable plate, valve passages and the complementary part of the intake manifold in the other of said parts,

said. plate being adapted to be secured to the other of said parts so as to complete said intake manifold and secure a connection between the water spaces and the two parts, and a communication between the exhaustmanifold and the exhaust passages of the other of said parts, wallsof said passages and manifolds being in said water space.

6. A casting embodying a plurality of cylinders provided with gas passages and water space, said casting consisting of two parts divisible in a plane parallel to a plane through the axes of the several cylinders and cutting said passages and water space.

7. The combination with a plurality of cylinders, a plurality of valves therefor having their stems in one plane, passages leading to and from the ports of said valves, said cylinders being divided in a plane substantially parallel to the plane through the valve stems of said valves, said plane cutting said passages and adjacent water space so as to render the walls of the passage accessible for cleaning.

In testimony whereof, we sign this specification in the presence of two witnesses.
