| Abstract:
This invention relates to improvements in speed-regulators for explosive-engines; and the object, which I have sought to obtain in this invention, is a special construction of governor which is sensitive in its operation and simple, durable, and inexpensive in construction.
To attain the desired objects, the invention consists of a governor for gas or gasolene engines embodying novel features of construction and combination of parts, substantially as disclosed herein.
The above-referred-to features, in conjunction with other points of design and construction, will be more fully pointed out hereinafter and are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of a gas-engine with my improvement attached, one of the fly-wheels being removed to more clearly show the construction. Fig. 2 is a detail view of the cam-clutch on the side shaft and a portion of the governing mechanism, the clutch being a section taken on line of the cam-clutch. Fig. 3 is a detail view of the igniter-arm employed with my invention. Fig. 4 is a section taken on line y of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is an end elevation of an engine looking at the head of the cylinder, showing my invention applied thereto. Fig. 5 is a detail view of the governor and its connections.
Claims:
l. In a gas and gasolene engine, the combination of a rotating side shaft, a governor actuated by said side shaft, a. trip-latch having a slotted end, a latch actuated by said governor and engaging and disengaging with said trip-latch, a clutch-cam consisting of a collar rigidly and a part loosely mounted on said side shaft, springs and oscillating dogs within said collar, a pawl carried by the loosely-mounted part of the cam for operating said dogs by the action of the trip-latch and a stop within the head of the cam for engaging the dogs and carrying the cam with the collar in its rotary motion.
2. In a gas and gasolene engine, the combination of an igniter and exhaust-valve, a rotating side shaft, a gearing carried by said shaft, a governor operated by said gearing, a trip-latch pivoted to the engine near the side shaft, a clutch-cam secured upon the side shaft opposite the trip-latch, a latch operated by the governor to release the trip-latch, and means connected with the clutch-cam for engaging and disengaging said cam with the side shaft at any half-revolution of the shaft.
