The
animation to the
left shows a compressor that uses a Patented
Double Acting Valve or Uniport
Valve. The
conventional poppet valve colored blue is actuated by the blue
cam. The
'Auxiliary Valve', colored pink, is actuated by a pair of cams.
This eliminates the need for a spring for this particular
part.
However
the other two parts are biased by springs. One spring is shown in a
cross section rapped around the cylindrical part in red. Not shown is
the torsion
bar (similar to what was used on the Honda CB450 motorcycle) that would
turn the short rocker arm which in turn helps close the conventional
poppet valve.
Please
contact me if you have any suggestions or questions regarding this
double acting valve or this proprosed compressor.
