Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 23, 1918.
Application filed August 20, 1917. Serial No. 187,231.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, JOHN C. SLAcnn and HARRY C. ANDERTON, citizens of the United States, residing at Springfield, in the county of Clark and State of Ohio, have-invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ignition and Lighting Systems for Automobiles, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvement-s in ignition and lighting systems particularly adapted for automobiles.
One of the objects of the invention is to provide a system in which a magneto is employed for the ignition so arranged that the magneto can be readily and quickly re moved and a new magneto easily and quickly installed.
A further object of the invention is to provide for the ready installation in the system of a magneto for the purpose of furnishing the ignition, while still retaining the generator for the purpose of furnishing the lights and charging the battery; a further object being to provide a compact arrangement of parts and to also provide for gearing the magneto to the generator shaft in a simple and effective manner.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a front elevation with the cover for the gear casing removed.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation partly in section.
Referring to the drawings, M represents a magneto of any suitable form and G a generator of any Well known construction, the magneto being mounted on the generator in the following manner.
1, is a flat plate secured on the upper flat surface of the generator casing by the screw bolts 2. The lower part of the magneto casing has a plurality of dowel pins threaded therein which fit in recesses 4 in the plate. Two flexible straps 5 have sleeves 5 at their lower ends to receive pins 6 projecting from lugs 7 on the upper surface of the plate 1, these straps being passed about the magneto casing and secured together on the upper surface of the same. For this purpose one of the straps has an eye 8 to receive the bent end of a rod 9 which extends through a lug 10 on the other strap, the rod being screw-threaded to receive a nut 11 by means of which the strap may be tightened about the magneto casing to hold the same firmly in position.
-magneto and generator. vshaft of the generator is a gear 15 and on A housing 12 is removably secured to the generator casing preferably by screws (not shown) and. extendinginto this housing are the shafts 13 and 14, respectively, of the Secured to the the shaft of the magneto is a gear 16 and intermediate gear 17 connecting the same, this intermediate gear being journaled on a stub shaft 18 projecting from the wall of the housing. A removable cover 19 incloses the front of the housing.
In this particular system it is not universal practice to employ a magneto, but in some installations it is desirable that a mag neto be employed for the ignition. hen such is the case, the old gear cover is removed and the one 19 substituted therefor together with new gears such as the ones 15, 16, and 17. If at any time it is desirable to remove the magneto, this may readily be done by removing the cover 19 and gear 16, sufficient clearance being provided between the magneto shaft and the wall of the housing 12, as shown to permit the magneto to be raised sulficiently, to permit the dowel pins to be raised out of the openings. It might be explained that one of the uses to which this system is adapted is for installation upon motor vehicles used for war purposes and by the arrangement described, in the event'that the magneto should fail to deliver an adequate spark for the ignition, it may be replaced by a new magneto carried as an extra in the simple and ready manner described.
Having thus described our invention, we claim 1. In a system of the character described, a generator, a magneto removably secured to the casing of said generator, a housing supported by said generator, and driving devices in said housing for transmitting motion from the shaft of said generator to the shaft of said magneto.
2. In a system of the character described, a generator, a magneto removably secured to the casing of said generator, a housing supported by said generator casing, generator and magneto shafts projecting into said housing, a gear connected with each of said shafts, and an intermediate gear supported by the housing, whereby motion may be imparted from said generator shaft to said magneto shaft.
3. In a system of the character described, a generator, a magneto, means for securing said magneto to the top surface of said generator comprising dowel pins, a housing supported by the generator casing, the shafts of said generator and magneto projecting into said housing, the magneto shaft through an enlarged opening, housing connecting said shafts.
4. In a system of the character described, a generator, a magneto, means for securing said magneto to the top surface of said generator comprising dowel pins, a housing Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each,
and gearing in said supported by the generator casing, the shafts of said generator and magneto projecting into said housing, and gearing in said housing for connecting said shafts, whereby motion may be imparted from said generator shaft to said magneto shaft.
In testimony whereof, We have hereunto set our hands this 11th day of August 1917.
