VALVE-SPRING LIFTER:
Application filed February 28;:1922. semi Nb. 539. 993;
T0 aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it'lmown that I, Looms M. WVoon a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York borough of Manhattan, in the county and State-.-of New York, have invented a-ne'w and Improved Valve SpringLifter, of which the following is a fulh-clear, and exact description.
This invention has: relation to devices for lifting'or compressing the valve springs of internal combnst-ion motors, and contemplates as its general object to provide improved m e'ans for-1i{ti-n 9;-valve springs and "facilitat ing the operation of removing and grinding the valves: I
A further ob j eet ofthe present invention is to provide eflici'ent practicable, rela-' tively, inexpensive; and quick operating device forsimultaneously compressing; a multiplicity-of springs whereb-ythe valves and retaining: springs may be*readily removed, and for retaining the'springs under compressio'n until the grindii'ig operation is completed and 'the'valves and pins reassembledir z Furthermore the invention contemplates a device of the characten described: which includes means automatically operable" upon compression of the; valve" springs ':to retain said springs compressed whereby the operation of removing theretainingpins; re moving and inserting the-valves and rein+ serting' the retaining pins may@ beaccom plished' while the springs are: retained in their'conti'pressed"condition: A furtherobjeotof' this invention is to provide a multiplevalve spring lifter 'co'mprising-5alifting: member co-acting with the Y valve sp'ring 'and' wliereinysiicli member is positively giiided-with relation to thevalves in an: mproved and efficient manner.
A further ,ObJeet ofztlns invention is: to
irovide a valve su'rin lifter in'cludin r; a
the-might is reserved-to embodimentsother than those actually illustrated herein: to the fullaextent" indicated by the general mean in which :the' claims are' extio'nal View through a motor taken" approximately onthe-line 11' or Fig. 2iand' il lnstratingthe valve springlifter "in: operaf tive relation thereto.
Fig; 2 i'is a' sectional plan vieiv there'of taken approximately on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. p
Fig. 3 is a faceview of: the spring=engaging and? retaining device removed. 1'
Referringto the drawings wherein I" have illustrated preferred form of my invention it will be-1 seen thatthe motor block Act the engine is providedfwith'the isual valve, spring-- chamber B which is normally closedbyr a cover plate,unot shown. The cover plate is normally retained in'place by means ofeithera'zlag-screw C as "illustrated, or astnd bolt. Thevalves D areprovided with Valve stems Elwhich extend into the .valve spring chamber 13 and are" provided with the usual: removable retaining pins F. The pinsnF ooac'twith springseats-Ginto which the lowerendsfoit' the several valve springs H are seated. Theiopposi-te endsofthe springs engage on upper j Wall of the" valve spring chamber, the: springs normally cans ingztheseating' off tl1=YtlV6S- The lower wall of the chamber Bisprovided w'ithupstand ing valve lifter guide sleeves I through whi'chthe valve liftersJ' are movable when actuated by-the' cams fonlifting thevalves against the action Of thes r-ing:
It will. be noted that the valve spring chamber B is located within} a housinge casing comprising ajr ear' wall and" for wardly extending end walls- M the latter adapted to form a guide forthe lifter bar 1 hereinafter described;
- Thelpi'es ent valve spring lift'er-- or V 00111- pressingdevice" comprises a: liftin'gba-r or member 10 and a lifting lever, 1-1. 'Phe 7190 v,
liftin gl m'einber: l0 isjprovide'd on" its*in'n'e1- Sltle with a plurality of? valvespr ng seat engaging fonks or members 13 and provlded at its opposite side witlii depending legs 1:45
pivotally' connected thereto for transverse swingin movements Each leg is pr'ovidedf with" a'i pair of inwardly projecting-studs I5 and: 116 I with: which leaf spring I7 is en} gageable: for respectively efi ee'ting inward onoutward lateral: swinging 0f the-"legs "The valv spring 7 lower extremity of each leg is notched or cutaway as at 18 for a purpose to be here- "inafter set forth. The bar 10 is provided with one or a number of vertically disposed the outer-end of the lag screw or bolt C "-may be removed for the purpose of removing the cover plate, and the'bar 1O placed in position with the bolt C extending through the guide slot 19. The nut 12 is then screwed on to the end. of the bolt 0, the forks 13 extending under the valve spring seat G and embracing the valve stem E. The leaf springs 17 are engaged with the outer studs 16 of each leg and the prongs 20 of the lever are inserted into the chamber to cause the opposite extremities of the pins 21 to engage behind the valve lifter guide sleeves I. An. upward movement of the outer end of the lever 11 will effect the engagement of the prongs with the under side of the bar therebylifting thebar and compressing and lifting the valve springs H. It will be noted that the lifting bar 10 in this instance is provided with projecting portions which overlap or engage the front edges of the end walls M of the housing and hence the lifting bar by virtue of these end guide portions is guided thereby in a vertical plane,-thus causing the member 13 to be positively shifted in a vertical'plane. The guide slot 19 centers the lifting members 13 with relation to the valve springretainers G, and acts as agui de for restricting any material endwise movement of the bar 10 without,at the same time causing any pressure to be exerted'upon the bolt C. lVhen the bar or plate 10 has been lifted a sufficient distance to bring the notched or cut-away lower extremities of the legs in registration with the upper edge of the lower wall of the valve spring chamber B, the springs 17 will swing the legs or looking members 14 inwardly into engagement with said edge, thereby retaining the springs H under compression. The lifting lever 11. may then be removed and the operator may readily re-' move the retaining pins F and the valves D; 'After the grinding operation the valves are reinserted and the pins F replaced. The lever 11 is again placed in position and the springs 17 are then engaged with the inner studsj whereby an initial lift of the lever will cause said springs to swing the legs 14 outwardly,thereby unlocking the lifting bar. The expansion of the valve springs will lower the lifting bar and reseat the valve spring seats on the retaining pins F.
' It will be observed that as the prongs of the liftinglever 11 engage the under side. of the bar 10 and elevate the same, the latter slides over the upper edges of the prongs. 1
Thus, the action of elevating the bar 10 through the lever 11 is a cam action, and the upper edges or surfaces of pron 's or proections 20 act as cam surfaces. s a result of this cam action the power necessary to compress the springs is considerably reduced.
