Abstract: The object of my invention is to provide means whereby prompt and certain action of the operative parts can be obtained to control the speed of the engine and whereby fuel may be shut o? at once from the engine when the belt becomes disengaged from its pulleys or broken; and with these and minor objects my invention consists of the parts and combination of parts as will be more fully hereinafter pointed out. Claim: 1. In a governor the combination with a governor yoke, of a pivotally mounted lever normally connected to the said yoke, a spring maintaining said normal connection, a plunger normally under tension constructed to move the lever relative to the governor yoke, a latch normally restraining said plunger, a trigger controlling said latch and holding it in normal position and a pulley on the outer end of said trigger constructed to engage the governor belt, whereby when the said belt breaks, the trigger is operated to release the latch whereupon the said plunger is free to move the lever from its normal position on the governor yoke. 2. In a governor for engines, the combination with the governor yoke, of a pivotally mounted lever, means normally holding said lever on said yoke against the action of the governor balls, a connection between said lever and the device to be controlled by the governor, a plunger, normally under tension, constructed to move said lever relative to the governor yoke, a latch normally restraining said plunger against movement, a trigger controlling said latch and holding it in normal position and a pulley on the outer end of sad trigger, constructed to engage the governor belt, whereby when said belt breaks, the trigger is operated to release the latch whereupon the plunger is free to move said lever from its normal position on the yoke and the fuel valves are closed. 3. In a governor, the combination with the governor yoke, of a pivoted letter, a spring exerting pressure on said lever to hold said lever normally on the said yoke against the action of the governor balls, a plunger, a spring tending to force the plunger against said lever, a latch resisting the tendency of the plunger spring, a trigger controlling said latch, and a belt pulley mounted on said trigger. 4. In a governor, the combination with a governor yoke and a belt pulley secured thereto, of a pivoted lever, a spring exerting pressure on said lever to hold the arm normally on the yoke against the action of the governor balls, a plunger, a spring tending to force said plunger against said lever, a latch resisting the tendency of the plunger spring, a trigger controlling said latch, a belt pulley on said trigger and a belt on the pulley on the said head against which the trigger pulley bears. 5. In a governor for engines, the combination with the governor yoke, of a frame, a lever pivotally mounted on said frame, a bracket, a spring seated on said bracket and exerting pressure against said lever to hold the lever on the yoke against the action of the governor balls, a plunger mounted on said bracket, a spring tending to force said plunger against said lever, a latch pivoted to said frame resisting the tendency of the plunger spring, a trigger controlling said latch and a belt pulley carried by said trigger. 6. In a governor, the combination with the governor mounting of an arm extending therefrom, a bracket secured to said arm, a spring impelled plunger mounted on said bracket, a frame secured to the governor mounting, a bell crank lever pivotally mounted on said mounting, one end of which is detachably connected to the governor frame, a spring secured to said bracket and exerting pressure against said bell crank lever to hold it normally in engagement with the governor frame, a latch pivotally secured to the mounting constructed to engage said plunger and hold it against the action of its spring, a trigger to control said latch and a belt idler pulley mounted on said trigger. |
