GAsoLl-:NE oR GAS ENGINE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 628,316, dated July 4, 1899.
y'Application filed February 14, 1898.
To all whom if may concern:
Be it known that I, JERRY A. HARP, a citizen of the United States, residing at Urbana, in the county of Champaign and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gas-Engines, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to gas-enginesoperated by power produced by the explosion of gas or other'similar substance, and has for its object to provide an engine in' which the eX- plosion takes place at every revolution and which has but one cylinder, one piston, and one follower. This object I accomplish by the means and in the m anner hereinafter more fully described in `detail and particularly pointed out in the claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which like reference-letters indicate like parts in all the ligures.
Figure l is a side elevation of my invention. Fig. 2 is a detail viewof the intakevalve. Figs. 3 and 4 are detail Views of the explosion-chamber. Fig. 5 is a central horizontal sectional view of my invention. Fig. 6 is a detail View of the exhaust-valve.
My invention consists of a bed plate or frameA of suitable size and shape. On said bed-plate A is mounted a gas-engine consisting of a cylinder B, open at each end. Near one end of said cylinder B, on one side, is the intake-valve C, which may be of any of the usual forms adapted to be operated by suction, preferably a spring-valve. On the same side, toward the other end of the cylinder, is the explosion-chamber D, which communicates by a suitable orifice with the inside of the cylinder B. In the explosion-chamber D are two carbon-points d, connected with an electric circuit a'nd normally kept together by springs d. On the other side of the cylinder, opposite the intake-valve C, is the eX- haust-valve E, which may be of any of the usual forms, preferably spring, that can be operated by pressure. In the end of the cylinder B nearest the intake-valve C works a piston-head F, connected by the piston-rod Gr to the crank-shaft H. The crank-shaft I-I is journaled in bearings mounted on the bed.-y plate A and has on each end a .ily-wheel I. On the crank-shaft II, just outside one of its Serial No. 670,240. (Nomodel.)
bearings, is a beveled cog-wheel h. A counter-shaft J, having at one end a beveled cogwheel j, which gears with the cog-wheel h, is mounted in bearings attached to said bedplate A; On the counter-shaft J a cam j is mounted which operates a finger j?, pivotally secured to the bed-plate A, said finger ,9'2 engaging one of the holders of the carbon-poin ts cl and adapted to break the contact of said carbon-points d at each revolution of the engine. On the end of said counter-shaft J is a beveled cog-wheel js. Mounted in bearings liked at the oppositeen'd of the bed-plate A from the crank-shaft I-I is a shaft K, having at one end a beveled cog-wheel 7c, which gears with the cog-wheel ja. Working in the opposite end of the cylinder B from the pistonhead F is a follower L, connected by the rod M to the cross-head N, which slides back and forth along the rods O. The rods O are secured in supports attached to the bed-plate A and surrounded by springs o, adapted to press the cross-head N away from the cylinder B. Mounted on ashaft K is an eccentric P, adapted to bear against the cross-head N.
The operation of my invention is as follows: The piston-head F being at its extreme position near the end of the cylinderB and the eccentric P'having pressed the cross-head N as far as possible and being about to release it, the follower L is at its farthest position toward the piston-head F and about to return toward the end of the cylinder B by the removal of eccentric P, the pressure of whatever gas remains in the cylinder B, and the springs 0. As the follower L withdraws it sucks in through the valve C a new charge of gas and the momentum acquired by the preceding revolution causes the piston-head F to return along the cylinder B until the openings to the valves C and E are closed, when the revolution of the counter-shaft .I causes the cam j' to move the fingerjg, breaking the contact of the carbon-points d. This produces a spark in the explosion-chamber D and fires the charge in the cylinder B. The expanding gas and the cross-head N which the eccentric P is now pressing back cause the piston-head F to recede toward the end of the cylinder B until the opening to the valve E is exposed, when the pressure causes IOO the valve to open and permit the exploded gas to escape. The same process is then repeated.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In a gas-engine provided with a cylinder, intake and exhaust valves, an igniter, a piston and a follower, an eccentric adapted to force the follower into the cylinder, a shaft operating said eccentric and provided at one end with a beveled cog-wheel, a counter-shaft provided with a beveled cog-Wheel gearing with said wheel and means for operating the same, substantially as shown and described.
2. In a gas-engine provided with a cylinder, intake and exhaust valves, an igniter and a piston, a follower moving in said cylinder opposite said piston, a cross-head connected with said follower, rods on which said cross-head slides, springs surrounding said rods and adapted to push said cross-head outward and means for operating the same substantially as shown and described.
3. In a gas-engine, a cylinder, an intakevalve operated by suction on one side of said cylinder, an exhaust-valve opposite said intake-valve on said cylinder, said exhaust- 'to engage said finger, a follower moving in said cylinder opposite said piston, a crosshead connected with said follower, rods along which said cross head slides, springs surrounding said rods and adapted to press said cross-head outward, an eccentric adapted to bear against said cross-head, a shaft operating said eccentric, said shaft provided at one end with a beveled cog-wheel, and a beveled cog-wheel on the end of the counter-shaft adapted to gear with said wheel, substantially.
as shown and described. I
