Definitions

  • the object of my invention is to provide a governor of simple, durable and inexpensive construction.
  • a further object of my invention is to provide a governor of centrifugal type which may be conveniently mounted adjacentto the front end of an engine and which may be readily adjusted from the outside of the governor.
  • Still a further object of my invention is to provide a governor which may be secured to the face of the magneto driving gear and which requires no rotating hearings to secure proper functioning of the device.
  • Still a further object of my invention is to provide a governor having a pair of centrifugal weights, a longitudinally movable member actuated by these weights, and a single bearing ball placed between this member and an operating arm so that when the weights and movable member are rotated, the ball hearing will form the bearing between the rotating member and the relatively stationary operating arm.
  • Still a further object of my invention is to provide governor having a pair of centrifugal weights in position to move oppositely and outwardly from a central axis, a cup shaped member partially enclosing these weights, and having an annular rib or bead formed near the rim portion of this cup shaped member to form a stop forthe centrifugal weights so that these weights will be free to return to their inoperative position without bending against the rim portion of the cup member.
  • Figure 1 shows a side elevation of the front portion of a tractor having my improved governor mounted thereon, part of the installation.
  • Figure 2 shows a vertical central sectional view through the governor.
  • Figure 3 shows a sectional view taken on the line 33 of Figure 2.
  • Figure 4 shows a sectional view taken on the line 4% of Figure3, the governor weights being extended to their outward positions, and
  • Figure 5 shows a sectional view taken on the line 5-5 of Figure 4.
  • the engine 10 is provided with an exhaust manifold and pipe 14.
  • An intake manifold 15 is also provided, and an air intake conduit 16 connects this intake manifold with an air washer 17.
  • the exhaust manifold 14 is of the type known as ahot spot manifold and is provided with a fuel vaporizer 18 having a gas pipe 19 leading to the intake manifold where the carburetionof the fuel takes place. That portion of the intake manifold, adjacent to the point at which the gas line 19 connects therewith is termed the carburetor 20 and is provided with a conventional butterfly valve, not shown in the drawings. A manual control rod 21 is connected with this butterfly valve to thereby manually control the flow of gas to the engine.
  • a second control rod 22 is also connected with this butterfly valve in such a manner that the rotation of the rod 21 is always dependent upon the rod 22.
  • the rod 22 may be manually rotatedto thereby rotate the butterfly valve and control the flow of gas to the manifold 15.
  • the rod 22 is rotated to the closed position it closes the butterfly valve independent of the rod 21 to thereby control the flow of gas to the engine independent of the manual operating rod.
  • the rod 22 is rotated by the applicants improved governor while the rod 21 is rotated by a lever adjacent tothe steering wheel of the tractor. 3
  • the front end of the engine 10 is provided with a plate 23 having an extension 24 to which the front axle is secured and upon by the front end plate 23.
  • the gear is provided with a shaft 26 formed integral therewith and which is mounted in a bearing 27 formed in the en- 'gine 10.
  • a coupling 28 is provided on the rear end of the shaft 26 to drive a magneto or distributor for the tractor.
  • a governor drive shaft 29 is secured to the forward side of the gear 25 by means of a flange 30 and screws 31. This shaft eX- tends forwardly from the gear 25 through an opening in the front end plate 23.
  • a cup shaped guard member 32 is also secured to the gear 25 by means of the screws 31 and entends forwardly in position to partially house the governor weights.
  • a pair of oil scoops 61 are punched in the rim portion of the cup 32 so that when the cup is rotated oil may be scooped up by the scoops 61 to thereby lubricate the working parts of the device.
  • the shaft 29 is provided with an axial bore 33 in its outer end.
  • a driving pin 34 extends through the shaft 29 transversely of the opening 33 near the outer end of the shaft.
  • a pair of governor weights 35' are rotatably mounted on this driving pin 34 by means of an ear 36 on each weight.
  • the inner sides of the weights 35, adajcentto the shaft 29, arerecessed as at 37 to allow the weights to completely encircle the shaf 29 when in their closed positions.
  • a transverse pin 39 extendsthrough the weights 35 and protrudes a short distance from each side of the weights. are disposed rearwardly of the ears 36 and These pins forwardly of the center of gravity of each weight.
  • a pair of extension coil springs 40 connect the protruding ends of the pins 39 so as to keep the weights 35 in their closed or inoperative positions with a considerable spring tension.
  • a second shaft 41 having its inner end slottedat 42, is mounted in the bore 33 in the shaft 29 so that the pin 34 extends through the slot. 42.
  • the shaft'41 is at all times driven with the shaft 29 but is free to move longitudinally thereof.
  • a U shaped plate 43 is secured to the forward end of the shaft 41 with its arms extending rearwardly in position to co-act with a pair of bosses 44 formed on the forward ends of the weights 35.
  • a hearing ball 45 is secured in a suitable recess in the forward end of the shaft 41 so that any thrust produced by this shaft 41 will be taken through this ball 45.
  • a housing 46 encloses the opening in the front end plate 23 and is secured thereto by means of the flange 47 and bolts 48.
  • a shaft 49 is rotatably mounted in the upper part of this housing 46 and extended transversely therethrough, and a bell crank lever 50 is secured inside of this housing to the shaft 49 by means of the pin 51.
  • One of the arms 52 of the bell crank 50 is adjacent to the ball bearing 45 and the other arm 53 is in position so that a compression the housing 46 and a link 58- connects this lever 60 with a crank 59 formed on the forward end of the operating rod 22.
  • the gear 25 is rotated at crank shaft speed by the engine 10 and thereby rotates .
  • the governor weights will be held in their closed position for all engine speeds up to a predetermined speed and will then fly outwardly to their extreme positions with a very small increase in speed to thereby operate the control valve by a very small weights were of the graduated opening type it would be impossible to secure maximum 7 power or full opening of the butterfly valve when the tractor was pulling hard in low gear. This desirable result is obtained by the position of the springs 40 relative to the driving pin 34.
  • a further advantage results because I have eliminated a number of delicate parts ordinarily provided in governors.
  • the shaft 41, plate 43, and ball 45 being a unit, thus provides a very much simpler connection between the governor weights and the operating arm than has heretofore been provided.
  • a further advantage results because there are no rotating bearings, sleeves, yokes, or other continuously sliding parts, as are customarily provided in governors.
  • the point contact of the ball bearing 45 with the arm 51 is the only continuously operating part of the device, and due to the nature of this contact, a practically indefinitelife can be expected.
  • the simple ribbed stop member which prevents binding of the governor weights in their extreme outward positions is another improvement over the existing governor construction.
  • a driving shaft having an axial bore therein, a pin extended transversely through said driving shaft and said axial bore, a weight rotatably mounted on the said pin, a driven shaft reciprocally mounted in said bore having a plate secured thereto in position to co-act with the said Weight, and a transverse slot formed in the said driven shaft through which said pin extends thereby forming a positive rotary driving connection between said shafts.
  • a driving shaft having an axial bore therein, a pin extended transversely through the said driving shaft and having a pair of weights pivotally mounted thereon, a pair of springs urging said weights toward each other, a shaft driven by and free to move longitudinally with respect to said pin, a plate secured to the said driven shaft in position to co-act with the said weights, a transversely mounted shaft hav-' ing a bell crank lever thereon, and an adjustable compression spring, one of the arms of said bell crank contacting with the said driven shaft and the other arm contacting with said compression spring so as to adjustably control the total spring pressure on the said weights.
  • a shaft having an axial bore, a second shaft having a transverse slot therein adapted to reciprocate in said bore, a pin extended through said first described shaft and the bore therein and the slot in the second described shaft, a governor weight mounted on said pin, and means for operatively connecting said weight with the second described shaft whereby centrifugal force may cause the weight to actuate the second described shaft to move same telescopically relative to the first described shaft.
