R. STEINBERG AUTOMOBILE EXHAUST GENERATOR PROPULSION Filed March 20. 1924 INVENTOR 1?.Stein her'y BY Patented May 4, 1926.
BEI IBENSTEINBERG, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
LU'IOHOBILE EXHAUST GENERATOR PROPULSION.
Application filed March 20, 1824 Serial No. 706,738.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, REUBEN STEINBERG,
a citizen of the United States, residing at -New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Automobile Exhaust Generator Propulsion, of which the following is a specification.
The main object of this invention is to provide a gas propulsion means which .uses the exhaust gases of a combustion engine to drive a fan or the like which may be coupled to a generator or other mechanism.
-Another object is to provide an exhaust gas propulsion fan and an additional auxiliary wind driven fan which are mounted on a generator drive shaft and are coupled so that the gas propelled fan may be rotated independently of the air propelledfan, a novel clutch means being provided between both fans to accomplish the purpose.
Another object is to provide a means of diluting the exhaust fumes of a. combustion engine by the exhaust itself and aidedby' the air currents caused by the motion of the engine.
These and other objects will become apparent in the description below, in which characters of reference refer to like-named parts in the drawing.
Referring briefly to the drawing, Figure 1 is a side elevational view, showing the generator propulsion unit as applied in combination with a combustion engine.
Figure 2 is a top plan view of the same.
Figure 3 is a. sectional view taken longitudinally and centrally thru the generator shaft propelling unit.
Figure 4 is a front elevational view of Figure 3.
Figure 5 is a cross sectional view taken on line 5-5 of Figure 3.
Figure 6 is a fragmentary elevational view of the clutch mechanism mounted between the fan units.
Referring in detail to the drawing, the numeral 10 indicates a combustion engine having four cylinders. From each cylinder, an exhaust outlet 11 leads which communi cates 'with a manifold 12, said manifold ordinarily passing rearward to enter into a pelled by my device which consists essen- An automobile is usually provided with a generator 14 or a similar unit tially of a small semi-circular casing 15 and a larger;cas1ng 16, both casings being ]0lIled. by a flanged sleeve 17 and are mounted about a common axis. Theshaft 18 of the generator passes entirely thru the casing and partly thru the casing 16, the latter having a funnel face 19 at its outer end in which a large opening 20 is provided.- An inlet opening 21 is provided 06 in the casing 15 at one side, this opening communicating with the manifold 12 before it enters the mufiler 13, and an opening 22, prov ded opposite to the opening 21, communicates with the muflier thru a pipe 23. Within the casing 15 and mounted on the shaft 18, a hub 24 is rigidly secured to said shaft and has a plurality of radially extending arms 25 thereon to which longitudinally curved fan blades 26 are riveted, the width of said fan blades extending in a parallel direction with the axis of rotation. In the casing 16, an additional hub 27 is rotatably mounted on the shaft 18 between collars 28, the latter bemg fixed to the shaft 18 by pins or other similar means. Fan blades 29 extend radially from the hub 27 ,the width of said blades being angular with respect to the axis of rotation. An outlet 30 is provided in the casing 16 and has a tube 31 communicating therewith which extends rearward and enters into a tube 32 which extends from the rear end of the mufller 13. Between the hubs 24 and 27 of the fan members, an ad ditional collar 33 is mounted which has a. flange 34 formed thereon. This flange is provided with a plurality of teeth 35 at diametrically opposite positions on the face, said teeth being engageable with a resilient tongue 36, the latter being mounted on the adjacent face of a flange 37 which extends from one end of member 27.
The device in being used, rotates the generator 14 which is used for providing 618C"- trical energy. This is accomplished by passingexhaust gases from the cylinders of the combustion engine thru the manifold and into the casing 15 thru the inlet 21. These gases strike the curved fan blades 26 in said casing and rotate the generator shaft 18 as the hub 24 of the fan unit is rigidly secured to said shaft. The exhaust gases then pass out of the casing 15 thru the outlet 22 and into'the muffler 13 thru the pipe 23 to be emitted finally thru the tube 32. The auxiliary fan mounted in the casing 16, is used as an aid to reduce the power load of the fan member in the casing 15. air currents enter the 0pening'20 of the casin 16, the fan blades'29 andhub 27 are rotate When no air enters the opening 20, these fan bladesand hub 27 may remain stationary, as said hub is not rigidly mounted on the generator shaft. 18, but when 'air does enter,-th'e resilient tongue 36 engages a tooth 35 mounted on the flange 345m in this manner, aids in rotating the shaft 18. v I cla1m:-'-
A vdevice of the class described -used in combination with combustion engines and comprising a casing and an additional larger 1 casing connected by a sleeve, said casings havmg'a common axis, a shaft passing axially thru said casings, a fan rigidly mount-" 1,5sa,ea1

resilient tongue on the iacelof said flange, a collar secured to said shaft, a flan e-on said collar adjacent the flange of the ub membar, a plurality of teeth on the face of the first-named flange, said teeth being adapted to be-engaged-by the resilient tongue, said teeth when engaged by the tongue being adapted to rotate the flange thru the medium of the fan blades in the larger'casing.
