Granted: 1909-03-25
Abstract: 13,244. Industrie-Ges. Klingen & Co., and Klingen, M. June 22. Slipping of wheels, preventing.-To check side-slip in motor-vehicles &c., the vehicle is automatically raised by screws operated by a wheel which is tilted when side-slip commences, the action being assisted if necessary by eccentric rollers on the ends of the screwed struts. Grooved eccentric rollers 12, kept in their normal position by internal springs, are mounted at the ends of screwed spindles 6 having squared portions 10 capable of sliding in a frame 13 which is free to swing on the axle. When sideslip occurs, a wheel 15 mounted in a tilting frame 17 comes into contact with and rotates one or other of two disks 8 so as to screw down one of the spindles 6 and press its roller 12 against the road. The disk 8 is returned to its normal position by a spring disposed in a recess 9 and having its inner end passed through a slit in a sleeve 14 and slidably secured in a slot 7 in the spindle 6.

Abstract: 9876. Briault, F. April 24, 1909, [Convention date]. Jacks.-For raising and supporting vehicles or any of their wheels, a trestle is pivoted to the vehicle at c and carries a cam-shaped shoe h and a roller e at the ends of its legs. One of the legs, b, is telescopic, but is normally extended by a spring k and locked by a sliding spring bolt n, which is itself locked by a rotary pin p. To raise one of the road wheels, the trestle is lowered until the shoe h touches the ground, the vehicle is then backed and rolls over the shoe until the roller c reaches the ground. Stops x, y on the trestle and vehicle respectively are provided to prevent the vehicle from overrunning the trestle. To lower the wheel, the pin p is rotated by a cord attached to a crank S, and allows the weight of the vehicle, acting through the leg b, to push the bolt n back so that the leg telescopes. The vehicle can then be moved forward, and the trestle be turned clear of the ground, the leg b being extended again by its spring and locked automatically by the bolt. To raise the vehicle completely, three trestles may be employed.
