Key to Links for Patent Information

USPTO = U.S. Patent Office . Images of the actual patent can be viewed on the U.S. Patent Office web site but a special TIFF viewer must be installed with your browser in order properly work. More information on how to configure your computer to view these patents can be found at TIFF image Viewers for Patent Images.
DATAMP = Directory of American Tool And Machinery Patents . A sister site to VintageMachinery.org with information on patents related to machinery and tools. A much easier user interface than the USPTO's for finding information on machinery patents.

301,873	Dec. 24, 1929	Improvements In or Relating to Valve Gears for Fluid-Pressure Engines	Herman G. Mueller	Erie, Erie County, PA	A uniflow engine with a pair of cylinders working on opposite cranks has separate admission valves operated by cams on adjacent shafts driven by toothed gearing. The cams are simultaneously engaged by valve-operating riders, the valve actions resulting from the combined actions of the cams. The cams on one shaft opens the valves; the cams on the other shaft controlled by a centrifugal governor determine the closing movements. A gear wheel 9 on the crank-shaft engages a wheel 11 on a vertical shaft 12 provided with a wheel 13 engaging a wheel 14 driving a cam shaft 15 with cams 16. A shaft 20 carrying closing-cams 21 is driven by spiral gearing from a governor-controlled sleeve 17 on the shaft 12. A support 22 on the shaft 12 has arms 23 carrying the weights of the governor which are connected to the sleeve 17 by arms 26 and links 27. The arms 26 engage a roller 28 mounted on a crosshead 29 connected by rods sliding through the support 22 to a head 31 operating through a ball bearing 32 against an adjustable spring-pressed base 33. The cams 16, 21 operate through rollers riders 38 connected to spring-pressed rods 41 sliding in sleeves 42 and operating the valves.

537,775	Nov. 06, 1931	Umsteuervorrichtung fuer eine Nockenventilsteuerung	Skinner Engine Co.	Erie, Erie County, PA	The invention relates to reversing devices for cam valve controls, in which the cam movements of two independently operating camshafts are transmitted to an articulated to the valve spindle intermediate lever. According to the invention, the reversing device consists of two camshafts with control cams adapted to displace the control cams in each direction by axially displacing worms which drive the control camshafts in order to change the control data or to effect a reversal of the machine. As a result, a reversal of the machine and adjustment of the valves for one or the other direction can be achieved easily and safely without backlash or rattling or against each other of forces. Furthermore, this has created a simple and improved reversing device in which the effects of inertia and the force needed to move the control are reduced.
540,411	Dec. 15, 1931	Nockenventilsteuerung	Skinner Engine Co.	Erie, Erie County, PA	Abstrct: The invention relates to cam valve controls in which two valves are arranged coaxially, which are controlled by common cams, and in which the cam movement is transmitted by intermediate lever on the valve stem. According to the invention, a single hinged to the valve spindle two-armed intermediate lever of the simultaneous action of two mounted on two independently operating camshaft cam, the opening cam on the one and the closing cam on the other shaft, so that the resultant of these two cam movements is transmitted to the valve stem , Thus, the valve lift can be easily changed by adjusting a cam. The resistance of the valve against movement does not affect a cam because this cam serves only as a support, so that one can use a regulator of small size and power, but which is very accurate for the valve control.

Abstract A valve is disclosed having a generally cylindrical body having an inlet and an outlet opening and a lateral opening. The valve body is received in a cylindrical collar which is heat shrunk onto the cylindrical body of the valve to provide a prestressed condition in the valve body thereby substantially increasing the strength of the body.

6,402,360	Jun. 11, 2002	Internal Batch Mixing Machines and Rotors	Narku O. Nortey	Erie, Erie County, PA	Abstract An internal batch mixing machine includes a mixing chamber having a pair of cavities in which a first and a second rotor are mounted adjacent one another and are driven in opposite directions to mix material. The circumference of each rotor is divided into first, second, third and fourth sequential quadrants spaced in a direction opposite to the intended direction of rotation of that rotor. Each of the rotors has preferably a pair of lobes or wings located in every other quadrant of that rotor, although three lobe rotors are possible. Each lobe has a leading end and a trailing end. The first rotor has a pair of lobes located in its first and third quadrants, while the second rotor has a pair of lobes located in its second and fourth quadrants. One of the lobes of each pair of lobes is longer than the other, and each lobe extends downstream at an acute cohelix angle toward the other lobe of its pair. The long lobe of each pair of lobes has its leading end at or near the axial end of its rotor, and a short lobe of each pair of lobes has its leading end at the other axial end of the rotor. Long lobes in the second and fourth quadrant of the second rotor have their leading ends, respectively, at or near the axial ends of the second rotor which are opposite from the axial ends at which long lobes in the first and third quadrant have their leading ends. The lobes of each pair of lobes have respective lengths, locations of origin within the rotor quadrant in which they are located and acute cohelix angles at which they extend so as to cause material adjacent the longer of the lobes of each pair of lobes to be pushed away from the axial end of the rotor at or near which its leading end is located and toward the other end of that rotor, and to form a space between the trailing ends of each pair of lobes having a size which causes confluent material at the space to be squeezed between the trailing ends of both lobes of each pair of lobes and to flow out of that space, thereby releasing the squeezed material and adding turbulence to further mix the material.
