    摘要: A balance system for an internal combustion engine or the like includes a counterbalance weight pivotally mounted to the crankcase and driven in a reciprocating manner by a link assembly connecting the weight to an eccentric on the crankshaft. The pivoting weight not only counterbalances the piston acceleration and deceleration forces but also cancels the torsional forces created by the weight as it pivotally moves through an arc in response to piston movement. This is accomplished by locating the center of gravity of the balance weight between the piston bore centerline and the stationary pivot of the balance weight itself. This location for the center of gravity causes a torque to be generated by a force couple created by the piston inertial force vector, the balance weight interial force vector, and the distance between them. This torque counteracts the torque generated by angular acceleration of the balance weight itself, to thereby substantially eliminate all torsional vibrations.

    摘要: The engine balancing system preferably has two pivoting counterbalance weights connected to eccentric journals on the crankshaft via their respective link arms. The use of the two pivoting weights and the particular geometrical relationships between the balancing system components enable the balancing system to substantially mimic and oppose the non-sinusoidal piston forces. Several methods of balancing the non-sinusoidal piston forces are disclosed. In a first method, the centers of gravity of the respective counterbalance weights are moved at non-sinusoidal angular accelerations. These angular accelerations are greater when the piston is near its Top Dead Center position than when the piston is near its Bottom Dead Center position to yield higher balancing forces when the piston is near Top Dead Center. In a second method, the centers of gravity move through arcs which are substantially parallel to the piston axis when the piston is near its Top Dead Center position, and move in directions less parallel to the piston axis when the piston is near its Bottom Dead Center position. The movement of the centers of gravity parallel to but in the opposite direction from the moving piston when the piston is near Top Dead Center results in greater balancing forces when the piston is near Top Dead Center. The invention also includes a combined method of balancing the non-sinusoidal piston forces. In this combined method, the angular accelerations of the centers of gravity vary as in the first method, and the directions of movement of the centers of gravity vary as in the second method.

    摘要: An engine-balancing system for balancing the primary forces of single cylinder and in phase in-line multi-cylinder piston engines. The balancing system includes rotary, auxiliary counterweights mounted on the exterior of the engine block for rotation about fixed axes that are parallel to and spaced from the crankshaft axis and positioned at diametrically opposite sides thereof. The combined centrifugal forces of these auxiliary counterweights are preferably equal to that of the conventional crankshaft-carried counterweights. The auxiliary counterweights are drivingly-connected with the crankshaft by a flexible double-sided timing belt that is trained over sprockets of the same diameter coaxially fixed with respect to the crankshaft and with each of the pair of auxiliary counterweights so that the pair of auxiliary counterweights turn at the same speed as, but in the opposite direction from that of the crankshaft. The auxiliary counterweights coact with one another and with the conventional crankshaft-carried counterweight to significantly diminish vibration of the engine incident to its operation.

    摘要: In an internal combustion engine, a latch member is movable to and from a latching position in which it prevents a valve from coming nearer its seat than a predetermined distance therefrom. A cam follower connected with the latch member cooperates with axially adjacent first and second cam elements. The first causes the latch member to be held out of latching position during most of the engine cycle at all speeds, but at cranking speeds causes it to move to latching position just before the valve, in closing, reaches said distance from its seat. Once in latching position, the latch member is trapped there until opening movement of the valve carries it beyond said distance from its seat. The second cam element, carried by a flyweight, so cooperates with the first at running speeds as to hold the latch member out of latching position throughout the cycle.

    摘要: A speed governing apparatus for an internal combustion engine. A plurality of flyweights are pivoted to a flyweight carrier mounted on the cam shaft of the engine and a surface of each flyweight is engaged with the end of a spool that is mounted for rotation with the cam shaft, but can move axially thereof. A spring loaded non-rotatable fork straddles the cam shaft and is engaged with the opposite end of the spool. The fork is secured to a rod which, in turn, is operably connected to the throttle of the engine. The end of the spool, against which the fork rides, is an undulating cam surface which results in the continuous axial oscillation of the spool, and corresponding continuous radial oscillation of the flyweights relative to the spool, during operation of the engine. The radial oscillation of the flyweights relative to the spool reduces the frictional forces, so that under varying load conditions the spool can be more readily moved by the pivoting action of the flyweights to provide more precise speed control.

    摘要: A combination clutch and brake for rotary power mowers of the type wherein the blade is fixed to a spindle driven by the engine through an endless belt type drive transmission. A medially pivoted lever has an idler roll at one end to engage and tension the belt and thereby activate the drive transmission when the lever is rocked in one direction and a claw at its other end which, upon movement of the lever in the opposite direction, engages the notched periphery of a brake disc encircling the blade spindle and frictionally engaged with a companion disc that is fixed with respect to the spindle. The lever is spring-biased in the direction to engage the brake disc and thereby stop blade rotation concomitantly with deactivation the drive transmission whenever a deadman control on the mower handle is released.

    摘要: In a walk-behind rotary lawn mower powered by a gasoline engine, two pushbutton-type switches are so connected in the engine ignition circuit that at least one must be actuated for the engine to run. One switch comprises a dead-man control actuated by gripping the mower guide handle. The other is actuated by a treadle so located on the mower deck as to be depressed by one foot of a person who has his other foot in a safe position and who is operating the engine rope starter in a natural, convenient manner. Depression of the treadle also actuates a brake that prevents the mower from rolling.
