Patent GB-191103717-A (GB)
Title: Improved Driving Gear for Motor Driven Vehicles particularly Motor Cycles.
Inventor: BOWEN WILLIAM AGUSTUS
IPC: B62M9/00
Filed: 1911-02-14
Granted: 1912-01-11
Abstract: 3717. Bowen, W. A. Feb. 14. Variable - speed epicyclic gearing; clutches, ratchet. - The variable-speed driving-gear for motor vehicles and cycles described in Specification 21,615/08 is modified by the addition of another frictional clutch ring for bringing the top speed into action in a smooth manner, and is arranged with in or in connexion with the driving - wheel hub of a motor - cycle or like vehicle. The driving-pulley a is secured to one end of a sleeve c passing through the hub e of the wheel and carrying at the opposite end the driving sun-wheel of the gear. An internally toothed annulus e<4> is secured to the hub extension e‹, and the pairs of planet pinions g, h are carried on a plate f, which, as described in the above-mentioned Specification, supports a series of eccentric pawls l pressed by springs into engagement with the hub extension e<5>. A non-rotating ring i lying in a recessed portion of the plate f, is expanded and contracted by short rods r, s secured to a lever o and is adapted when partially expanded to engage the tails of the pawls l and release them, thereby giving a free engine. When fully expanded, the ring i engages and holds stationary the plate f so as to bring into action the lower speed. Between the clutch pawls l and the hub e<5> is placed a second expansible ring j, which tends to contract around the plate f, and is positively driven therefrom by a projection such as a bolt j<2> engaging one end of the ring and is also driven by a lug l<5> on one of the pawls projecting into a recess in the ring. When the gear is in the free-engine position and the cycle stationary, the plate f and disk j rotate backwards, so that, as the clutch pawls come into action, the pawl with the lug l<5> holds that end of the ring at which it is placed whereas the other end is slightly advanced by the bolt j<2>. The ring j is thus brought into close engagement with the hub e<5> to give a solid drive. The ring j may have bevelled edges engaging a corresponding recess in the annulus e<5>.
Patent GB-191104765-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Measuring and Marking Mechanism in Sizing or Slashing Machines.
Inventor: HEATLEY JOHN
IPC: D06H1/02
Filed: 1911-02-25
Granted: 1912-01-04
Abstract: 4765. Heatley, J., and Field, C. Feb. 25. Measuring. - The measuring and marking mechanism of sizing and slashing machines is provided with means for measuring and marking any irregular length between two series of regularly spaced marks, and if desired, to make a cutting mark in this length. The measuring- roller shaft carries a change - gear wheel A gearing with a changegear wheel B loose on a shaft b. The wheel B has bosses b<2>, b<3>, one of which is grooved to engage a spring-pressed pivoted fork b<11> to hold a clutch piece b<5> on the boss b<3> in engagement with a piece b<8> on a collar b<6> of the shaft b, which carries the wheel B'. The fork b<11> is adapted to be retracted to release the clutch, without disengaging wheels A, B, by the fall of a drop lever D' which engages a cam F. The lever D' is connected to a lever b<19> having an inclined end b<18> which engages a pin b<16> on a member which engages a pin b<15> on the fork. The cam F is mounted on a shaft F<1> and is rotated once for each series of marks, from the wheel B', which also drives a sleeve B<12> carrying a cam C and two slotted disks D, E. A drop lever C' on a shaft c is pressed against the cam C and operates the ordinary marking hammer C<2>, which is adjustably mounted on a slotted bracket c<4> loose on the shaft c, and operated by a set-screw c<6> engaging with a projection c' thereon. Levers D', E', on shafts d, e, engage the cam F and operate the hammer E<2>, D<2> for the cut-mark and the first mark of a series respectively. The hammer D<2> is connected to the shaft d by a slotted bracket and a set-screw engaging a projection as with the hammer C<2>, a projection on the bracket engaging the shaft e to allow lost motion before actuation. The hammer E<2> is similarly connected. The timing-lever D<X> is loose on the shaft d, and is connected thereto by an arm d<10> passing between adjustable lugs on the lever; the lever E<X> is similarly connected. After the last mark of a series has been made by the hammer C<2>, the stepped part of the cam F clears the levers D<1>, E<1>, which then fall, depressing the levers D<X>, E<X> so that the lateral projections d<17>, e<17> rest on the disks D, E. The projection e<17> first falls through the aperture e<18> to drop the hammer E<2> to make the cutting- mark, and then the projection d<17> falls through the aperture d<18> to drop the hammer D<2> to make the initial mark of the next series. The lever D', in falling, temporarily disengages the wheels B, B', and the apertures are so positioned, and the wheels A, B of such proportions, that the next mark will be made at the correct time.
