Granted: 1903-11-26
Abstract: 26,363. Strickland, F. Nov. 29. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to change speed and reversing toothed gearing and clutch mechanism. Figs. 3 and 5 show sections taken at right-angles to each other through the gear case, the former Figure also showing the clutches in section. Motion is transmitted from the motor shaft a' to the shaft b from the pinion d<2> and one or other of the wheels e, e<1> carried on a parallel shaft, which preferably runs at half the speed of the motor shaft, and may be the engine valve shaft. The wheels e, e' drive wheels d, d' on loose sleeves c, c' mounted one on the other on the shaft a<1> and furnished with clutch discs j, j<1>. The wheel e<1> gears directly with the wheel d<1>, but the wheel e gears with the wheel d indirectly through a reversing idle wheel g, which is carried by an arm so that it can be put in or out of gear when required. From one or other of the clutch discs j, j<1>, or from the flywheel o mounted fast on the shaft a', motion is communicated to the shaft b by a frictional gripping-device. This device comprises a number of levers p pivoted in a rotary casing m, which can be slid along the shaft b so as to bring the gripping- ends of the levers p opposite the edge of the flywheel o, the disc j, or the disc j<1>, or the intermediate spaces between them. The casing m is shifted along the shaft b by forks engaging the grooved collar m<2> and connected to the hand-lever m'shown in the side elevation of the car in Fig. 1. The levers p are caused to grip and are released by a second sliding collar p<4> connected to the levers by a series of links p<2> and actuated by links connected to a pedal lever p<8>. The links for operating the collar p<4> are actuated through levers, which are pivoted on the arms by which the collar m<2> is actuated, and the connecting points are so disposed that the movements of one shall interfere as little as possible with the movements of the other. Modifications of the clutches are described, in which the gripping-surfaces are internal and the action is brought about by expansible rings.

Granted: 1904-08-25
Abstract: 14,871. Barters, C., and Taylor, T. July 2. Screw unions; plates, securing tubes to ; jointing with internal ferrules; spigot-and-socket joints. - Relates to jointing pipes of ductile or other metal or india-rubber piping for connecting ductile pipes to other articles, such as flanges, tanks, castings, valves, iron piping, and the like, so as to dispense with the use of lead or any other plastic jointing - substance in pipes for hot-water supply or a steam installation. In the screw union shown in Fig. 1, the ductile pipes A, B are slightly flared out at the ends so that a screwthreaded ferrule F can be inserted. A sleeve C, threaded upon its inner and outer faces, abuts against the flared end of the pipe A, and engages with the threads on the ferrule E and also with the threads on the inner face of a sleeve D on the pipe B. A flange F within the ferrule E allows the latter to be screwed into the sleeve C before the sleeve D is screwed on. When connecting a ductile pipe to a tank or plate, the sleeve D is dispensed with and the outer thread on the sleeve C is screwed directly into the plate or the like. Fig. 6 shows a ductile pipe A joined to a socketed cast-iron pipe H. In this joint, the sleeve C which secures the ferrule E to the pipe A has a flange J which is inserted in the socket of the iron pipe, and the space L is filled up with lead or other caulking-material.

Granted: 1905-06-29
Abstract: 18,102. Rutter, G. Aug. 20. Backgrounds.-A series of backgrounds is mounted on a frame which is adapted to be easily taken apart for portability. The framework consists of two side frames a with top and bottom extensions a<3>, a<1> braced together by horizontal and diagonal rods b<2>, b<1>, b, kept in place by studs and thumb-screws or similar devices. The lower part a<1> forms a substantial base for the frame and is mounted on rollers a<2>. One part a<3> carries a number of spindles e<1> with pulleys e on the outside and sockets e<2> with slots e<3> on the inside. The other part a<3> has slots f into which fit square spigots g<8>, which form part of the roller g carrying the background proper k. The squared spigot g<8> is rigidly attached to a tube g<5> which is loosely held centrally in the roller g by the roller g<7>. The tube g<5> is connected to the roller g by the spring h. The other end of the roller g fits into the socket e<2>, the stud g<2> on the roller entering the slot e<3>. By this means, the roller is partly spring - balanced. The background is raised or lowered by an endless cord passing over the pulley e and a straining-pulley j on the uprights a. Several rollers are fitted on to one frame and, some being rolled right handed and some left handed, they may be brought as nearly as possible into one plane when unrolled, as shown in Fig. 3, so as not to interfere with the focussing when one background is substituted for another. For convenience, some rollers are mounted in the frame a<3> with the ends reversed with regard to the remainder. Fig. 4 shows one part a<3> so arranged.

Stoppers; refilling, preventing.-The upper part of the bottle neck is formed or provided with a valve seat r, adapted to receive a valve s, which is he!d on its seat by a weight 2 and further loaded by a weight 3. The valve and the devices to prevent tampering are contained in a cap or stopper c connected to the bottle neck. The movement of the valve is controlled by the weight 2 and the conical portion of the chamber n, so that the valve remains seated even when the bottle is tilted below the horizontal. Above the chamber n, a further guard m with lateral liquid ports is provided. The cap c may be screwed to the botttle neck, and further secured by a collar g crimped over to engage the flanges d, e of the bottle and cap respectively, the flanges being recessed to receive projections on the collar to prevent the stopper from being rotated. In a modification of the locking-means, ratchet-teeth may be formed on the neck to engage pivoted or spring-controlled pawls on the stopper. Instead of forming screw threads directly on the bottle neck, they may be formed on a metal collar adapted to engage with the bottle neck. The Provisional Specification also states that the weight which controls the valve may be arranged in suitable conjunction with an Archimedean screw mounted on a preferably threaded shaft and arranged to control the opening and closing of the valve.
