This invention relates broadly to air come pressors and more particularly to improvements in the construction of certain of the parts embodied. therein.
One of the objects of this invention is to, provide a compressor crankcase adapted to receive either two, four, six or eight cylinders of iden-' tical form and to provide a mechanism for varying' the reciprocative movement of the pistons in said cylinders.
Another object is realized by a structure which will accommodate the interchangeability of the parts of the compressor and the ready conversion of the machine from one size to another.
Another object resides in the economies real ized by the purchaser of a small compressor who may later wish to buy additive parts to enlarge the capacity of his machine." A' further object resides in the economies realizedby the manufacturer of compressors who may construct a large-number of various size machines from a limited number of interchangeable or s u bstil'iu' tion parts.
Other objects and advantages more or less ancillary to the foregoing and the manner 'in which all the various objects are realized-willappear in the following description, which considered in connection with the accompanying drawings, sets'forth the preferred embodiment of the invention.
Referring to the drawings:

Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2 showing the addition of two cylinders and the reorganization of certain parts thereon to form-an eight" cylinder compressor;

Fig. 8 is a view upon an enlarged scale of one of the connecting rods; and
Fig. 9 is a view similar to Fig. 8. showing different adjustments of the eccentricbnshings.
. Referring first to Figs. 2' and 5; the crankcase 14 Qlai n s, (Cl. 23020) ID is formed with a semi-cylindrical upper portion having transverse parallel slots ll therethrough for the reception of banks ofrradially disposed cylinders l5 Recessed seats 12 adja: Cent he ou daries .ofsaid slot provide hearing surfaces for the support of saidgcylinders. the flanges l6 thereof being of arcuate form and rectangular outline to conform to said Seats; "The cylindrical portions of the seats 12 are provided with T-slots 13 having openings [5.111 the ends thereof for the reception of the headset the cylinder bolt 11.
As shown in Fig. 3, the slots I l and the cylinder flanges l5 are proportioned to accommodate the ea e e a ement of four contiguous radial y disposed cylinders, each being inclined at an angle of 45 degrees relative to the adjacent cyl inder. Two diametrically opposed circular eccentrics or cams l8 are keyed on a drive shaft E9 in alignment with the centers of the banks of cylinders 15. Connecting rod straps 20 having integral or master connecting JrodsZl. for'tlie support of pistons 25 are .journa-ll'ed upon the circumferential faces of the eccentrics. The master rods 2| also function'to delimitthe ro-I tation of the straps 20 about the eccentrics l3. The connecting rod straps 2B are formed with a plurality of apertured bosses 23. (Fig. 6') disposed at 45, and degree angles relative to the master rods 2|, for the support of connecting rods 22, which operate respectively, in cylinders disposed in corresponding "angular relation with the cylinders for the master rods.
Referring to the six cylinder machine in Fig. 2, it will be noted that'cover plates 24 are use'd' as spacers to properly position the cylinders in 6.0 degree relationship and are also used to close the openings between the. cylinder flanges. vThe cover plates are securedto thencrankcase by bolts 11 similar to cylinder bolts and retained in a like manner by the shoulders in the :r-slots I13.
From a comparison of Figs. 2,," 3, 6 and-.7 it will be readily noted that the operation of changing.
the machine to form a two, four, .si'x .oreight cylinder compressor'is easily accomplished. Access to the interior of the crankcase for the reorganization of the parts therein is attained v.by' removing the end plates .25 (Fig.1). *Th'ecover plates 24 are then removed frornthe slots 1!, and the desired-number of cylinders are installed thereon and circumferentially' spaced by the use of another set ofcover plates. Ellie master connecting rods 2| operate inthe'vertical cyl inders in the two or six cylinder compressors and inthe uppermost cylinders in .the'four or eight cylinder machines. The necessary number of articulative rods 22 are secured to pistons 26 and to the apertured bosses 23 of angular displacement from the master rods 2| corresponding to the angles between the cylinders which house the rods.
The eccentrics is are formed with three drive shaft holes 21 of varying eccentricity providing three adjustments of the length of stroke. Any one of the holes may be used with any of the cylinder groups as heretofore described, by making further adjustments of parts to proportion the size of the compression chambers to the stroke length. For this purpose the valve plates 28 are designed for reversible assembly between the cylinders I and the cylinder heads 29. One side of said plates is a plane surface having a shallow annular depression therein for intimate engagement with either a conforming annular protuberance on the inner surface of the cylinder heads 29 (Fig. 2) or alternatively with the upper end of the cylinders I5 (Fig. 3). The opposite sides of the valve plates are formed with cylindrical bosses for snug engagement within the inner walls of the cylinders I5, the compression chambers thereof being diminished by an amount equal to the volume of said bosses. Thus the volumetric delivery of a compressor of any fixed cylinder group may be reduced by inverting the valve plates and changing the drive shaft hole to shorten the stroke.
The stroke may be further shortened by utilizing the third hole in the eccentrics l8, and by elevating the drive shaft A to effect a corresponding reduction of the compression chambers. shown in Fig. 4, the bearings 30 for the support of said drive shaft in the crankcase end plates 25 are eccentric on the vertical center line of the plates; therefore, rotation of the end plates through 180 degrees will raise or lower the drive shaft a distance equal to twice the eccentricity ofthe bearings 30.
This elevation of the drive shaft reduces the compression chambers of the vertical cylinders to correspond to the reduced stroke effectuated by the use of the third hole in the eccentrics I8. The'compression chambers of the oblique cylinders, however, are not diminished to the same degree, the diminution being greater in the more vertical cylinders. To obviate this unbalance of compression in the various cylinders, the connecting rods are provided with eccentric bushings 3| adapted upon rotative adjustment to change the center to center distance between the piston pins 32 and the rod bearing-pins 33. The bushings are adjusted and locked against rotation by set screws which engage index holes in the outer surface thereof. Referring to Fig. 8, the bushings 3| are shown in their normal adjustment for use with the drive'shaft in its lower position. The dimension A on this figure is the normal center to center distance between the piston pins and the rod bearing pins. Fig. 9 illustrates the adjustment of the bushings and the increased pin center to center distance B which are used in the lower cylinders of the eight cylinder machine. In the eight cylinder compressor illustrated in Fig. 3, the drive shaft I8 is elevated by rotating the crankcase end plates 25 through 180 degrees, and the compression chambers of the oblique cylinders are reduced to the same size by different adjustments of the bushings 3 I. In this compensative adjustment the bushings in the lower connecting rods extend the pin center to center distance by an amount approximately three times the extension in the upper cylinder chambers of all the cylinders.
From the foregoing it will readily be perceived that with this compressor four different cylinder combinations, each having three stroke adjustments, may be produced using the same basic parts and a variable number of identical cylinder assemblies. The two cams I8 of opposite action provide an even timing or compression strokes throughout each revolution in any of the various arrangements heretofore described.
When it is desired to efiectuate two stage com pression, a long stroke is used in one bank of cylinders which constitutes the first stage; and the output therefrom is connected to the inlet of the second bank of cylinders. The stroke in said second bank is reduced, and the air in the cylinders is under pressure at the beginning of the compression stroke; thus the second bank of cylinders functions as the second stage of a twostage compressor.
The advantages of a compressor pump of this nature are manifold. The purchaser may, by merely reorganizing the various parts of his compressor; change to any of three output rates. By the purchase of additional cylinder assemblies, 1. e. cylinders, pistons, rods and bushings, the machine may be easily converted to a higher volumetric delivery. The multiplicity of adjustments of output rate makes possible the operation of the compressor at the most efficient speed and makes unnecessary the common practice of increasing the speed of operation of a compressor beyond the safe limits thereof for enlarging the output rate.
The manufacturer of this type compressor receives the benefit of substantial savings in tool and pattern costs, savings in the manufacturing cost consequent mass production of standardized parts and the reduced sales resistance resulting from his ability to offer multi-size machines formed from sub-assemblies of interchangeable parts.
Although the foregoing description is necessarily of a detailed character, in order that the invention may be completely set forth, it is to be understood that the specific-terminology is not intended to be restrictive or confining, and that various rearrangements of parts and modifications of detail may be resorted to without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention as herein claimed. 7 s
