Titanium Engine Valve

View page
US Patent:
55179568, May 21, 1996
Filed:
Aug 11, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/289096
Inventors:
Paul M. Jette - Pasadena CA
Alfred W. Sommer - Calabasas CA
Assignee:
Del West Engineering, Inc. - Valencia CA
International Classification:
F01L 302
US Classification:
1231883
Abstract:
A titanium engine valve is fabricated with discrete head and stem portions, preferably joined by inertia welding and/or diffusion bonding. The joint between the head and stem portions is located well up on the valve stem so that it is not exposed below the valve guide. The head portion, including a fillet region and lower stem region, is composed of a first material comprising titanium, such as a conventional high strength titanium alloy. Alternatively, the head portion may consist of a cast or forged heat treated TIC. The stem portion, which is not directly exposed to the hostile environment of the combustion chamber, is composed of a second material comprising titanium, such as mill annealed titanium alloy rod stock. The resulting valve is, therefore, much less expensive to manufacture than a conventional titanium valve without sacrificing any mechanical characteristics in the portions of the valve subjected to high stress and temperature.

Girdle Assembly For Stud Mounted Rocker Arms

View page
US Patent:
45613923, Dec 31, 1985
Filed:
Sep 10, 1984
Appl. No.:
6/649229
Inventors:
Paul M. Jette - Pasadena CA
Assignee:
Del West Engineering, Inc. - Chatsworth CA
International Classification:
F01L 122
US Classification:
123 9043
Abstract:
A girdle assembly for stud mounted rocker arms particularly adapted for use in racing engines wherein it is desired to unify the valve stud structure to prevent stud fatigue failure and adverse harmonics. The valve adjustment mechanism is provided by barrel nuts and locking studs. The barrel nut is externally threaded to accept a lower spherical seating nut on which the girdle rests in counter-bored spherical recesses which mates with the seating nuts. The bar is locked in place and the girdle assembly secured as a unitary structure by bearing washers and lock nuts engaging the upper surface of the bar and urging it into rigid contact with the seating nuts. After assembly and tightening, the girdle assembly need not be loosened or disassembled for valve adjustment, but, the latter can be carried out by adjusting the barrel nuts right through the girdle assembly while the latter is fully tightened.
