POSITIVE VALVE CONTROL FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES Filed Dec. 19, 1931- Patented Nov. 28, 1933 UNITED STATES VALVE CONTROL FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES POSITIVE Walter Jiink, Berlin, Germany Application December 19, 1931, Serial No. f
582,058 and in Germany December 23, 1930 1 Claim. (01. 74- -1) The invention relates to a positive valve control for internal combustion engines, in which the control is effected by slidable elements, yieldably mounted and gripping fork-like over the hollow cam disc.
In comparison with forms of construction providing a subdivision of the valve shaft and its yieldable connection with the cam disc, the valve control according to the invention is distinguished by the fact that all gear elements outside the valve shaft and mounted independently of this shaft are omitted and that the'removing of the valve, on which the additional elements forming a unit with the valve shaft are mounted can be carried out in the simplest manner.
The characteristic feature of the invention consists therefore chiefly in that the valve shaft, subdivided into two mutually adjustable parts, terminates in a fork, the upper part of which bears directly against the cam disc like a slidable shoe, whereas the lower part accommodates a slit piston and a transverse pin, serving as abutment for a spring which presses the piston against the inner side of the cam.
An embodiment of the invention is diagrammatically illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawing, in which:--
Fig. 1 shows the control arrangement in longitudinal section and in the position in which the cam has just closed the valve.
Fig. 2 is a side elevation partly in section, showing the valve in closed position.
Fig. 3 shows the yieldable piston in elevation, partly in section.
Fig. 4 shows in plan View from below the bifurcated part carrying the piston.
' The valve shaft consists of an upper or outer part a and or" a lower or inner part b, the end of which forms a pusher. The lower part b has an internally threaded bore screwed on to the screw threaded end of the upper part a. The two parts of the valve shaft can be shifted the one with regard to the other by means of a wrench to be placed for instance on a square portion 12 of the valve shaft 0.. On the valve shaft a locking nut e is screwed, designed to secure the two parts in their adjusted position. The pusher hollow space n of piston I, one end of said spring bearing against a piston p of the collar and the other end against a transverse pin q. This transverse pin 'q is inserted through a bore 1 in the pusher shoe h and secured in position by means of a splint or in any other suitable manner.
A transverse wedge s, bearing into the pusher shoe h serves to limit the upward movement of the piston Z controlled by the tension of the spring 0. The hollow cam disc 1' is keyedj on the cam shaft t and works with both sides.
The operation of the device is as follows:.
The valve a is lifted by the cam portion 2" of I cam disc 2' cooperating with the pressure shoe 9, which might also consist of a roller. If the lifting: of the valve a. is completed (Fig. 1) and the, cam portion 1" is on theother side of the upper pusher shoe 9, the piston Z rolling on the inner side of the beaded edge 1' is pressed, in opposition to the action ofspring o, in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 1, the valve a being thereby closed. For the collar p of the piston Z a roller might be substituted. a
The transverse pin q, forming an abutment for the spring 0, ensures thatthe collar p of the piston, bearing with its entire surface against the inner side of the beaded rim 2', preserves its position. The spring 0 (Fig. 3) is especially provided to ensure a tight closing of the valve relative to the cylinder space, even if the motor is hot.
The transverse pin q, as already mentioned,
forms an abutment for one end of the spring,
ton adapted to guide said piston in. said lower arm, and a spring between said pin and said piston adapted.- to resiliently hold said piston in contact with said cam. I n
WALTER 1 the lower portion, the bifurcated end 1 being placed over the beaded edge i of the cam disc k. The lower pressure shoe h has a bore 1' for a yieldable movable piston l, which is hollow and has a vertical slot m. A spiral spring 0 is located in the the lower f
