Description: |
| Abstract:
My invention relates to that class of governors and cut-off's wherein the center of the eccentric is automatically shifted to and from the center of the shaft by means of weights acting centrifugally and springs acting centripetally on arms or levers connected to the eccentric, and moving in orbits about the shaft. 1 aim to make such improvements that the eccentric will respond quickly and with uniform action to the variations of pressure and load, that the proper conditions of lap and lead will be maintained; and that the parts may be made and applied with facility, and be simple in their construction and operation.
Claim:
In a governor and cut-off, as a means of overcoming the resistance of the valve and friction of the eccentric, the pivoted eccentric, with arm or lever rigidly secured thereto, controlled by weighted levers, and counteracted by a spring. |
