Title: Improvements in Apparatus and Appliances for Automatically Applying a Brake, and Shutting Off Motive Power, at Stated Speeds applicable to Motor Cars and other Vehicles.
Inventor: PREW EDWARD HENRY
IPC: B60K31/12
Filed: 1909-05-07
Granted: 1910-03-17
Abstract: 10,892. Prew, E. H. May 7. Centrifugal governors; transmitting-mechanism.- A centrifugal governor serving as a speed indicator and acting through a relay device is adapted to apply a special brake, disconnect the hand throttle control and cut off the fuel supply automatically on the attainment of a predetermined speed. The sliding sleeve d, Fig. 9, which rotates with the hollow spindle b, is adjusted vertically according to the speed by the governor balls, and carries a nut g integral with a bevel-wheel i. When a predetermined speed is reached, this bevel-wheel i, engages other bevel-wheels l on each side of the vertical spindle and thus winds up cords n attached to levers f, A, connected to a brake and throttle control, only the throttle control being shown in the Figure. The speed at which the governing- devices come into action depends upon the vertical adjustment of the bevel-wheel i on the screwed part of the sleeve d. This adjustment is affected by the rotation of the nut g until the pointer g<1> moving in front of the dial h is set to the required speed. The lever A adjusts a sliding sleeve y so as to disconnect the hand-control spindle w from the spindle x connected to the throttle-operating lever F. The throttle can then be closed, but not opened, by hand. At the same time, the sleeve y clutches the loose collar z to the spindlÚ x, so that the governor acting through the lever f, can rotate the collar z and spindle x, and close the throttle.

Shafts are fitted with surfaces or disks which are set at an inclination to the shafts, so that when the shafts are rotated the angle of incidence of the surfaces is varied. Figs. 1 and 2 show such a shaft a provided with one or more surfaces b, which may be constituted by flat disks, or disks which are slightly concave below and convex above. The disks may be jointed to the shafts so that their inclination thereto may be varied during flight. Fig. 4 shows a pair of balancing-devices mounted at opposite sides of a biplane machine, their normal angle of incidence being zero. When the machine swings downwards at the left side, the shafts a are rotated simultaneously to the right, whereupon the disks b at the left side are given a positive angle of incidence, while those at the right are given a negative angle of incidence, thus introducing a couple to right the machine. The shafts a may be arranged so as to incline upwards and outwards, the disks b being then normally horizontal. When the shafts are vertical, they may be set so that, under normal conditions, the disks b have a slight angle of incidence. Similar devices fitted at the front or rear, or both at the front and rear, of the machine, but with the. shafts of each pair arranged to rotate in opposite directions, may be used to serve as elevators or as rudders, the shafts being horizontal in the latter case.

Granted: 1911-10-13
Abstract: 23,770. Boult, A. J., [Leeson, J. R.]. Oct. 13. Winding-machines. - In a winding-machine of the class in which an oscillating threadguide bears on the conical surface of the cop and is advanced progressively along the axis of the winding- spindle by a threaded traverse bar and feed nut, in order that the oscillating movements of the thread-guide arm may not influence the feed-nut, a slide or runner, which is prevented from rotating about the traverse bar, is arranged to have e bearings on the traverse bar between the feednut and the thread-guide arm. The thread-guide g, Fig. 3, is mounted on a sleeve H sliding upon a traverse bar E, and is operated by a cam and rocking arm arrangement; it is advanced at each traverse by a friction progression wheel I, which contacts at each reciprocation with the surface of the cop &c. and is slightly rotated relatively to the sleeve H. The wheel 1 is carried on a bushing or nut J having a screwthreaded pawl engaging threads on the sleeve H. The pawl is pivoted in a casing K, and one arm of the pawl terminates in a projection k<2>, whereby lateral pressure on this arm lifts the other arm out of engagement with the threaded sleeve H and allows the device to be slid along the sleeve H. The thread-guide g is carried at the end of a double arm g', g<2>, the ends g<4>, g<5> of which are bent at right-angles and secured to sleeves g<6>, g<7> which surround the threaded sleeve H. Between the sleeves g<6>, g<7> and the bushing J are arranged the turned-over ends l<1>, Fig. 6, of the arms l of a sheet metal runner L, which is prevented from turning relatively to the sleeve H by its lower edge sliding in a groove in a portion of the frame D. A flat spring M is secured to the runner L and bears against the end of the arm g<2> of the thread-guide to give the necessary pressure during winding. This spring also acts to hold the thread-guide in its raised position, when turned up out of the way for piecing &c. To stop the machine at any predetermined point in the winding, a piece l<4> of the runner L is turned up and arranged to come into contact with an arm U, thereby rocking a rod t and an arm T and lifting a triangular frame R into engagement with the teeth s of a wheel S on the driving- shaft c. The rotation of the wheel S lifts the frame R and pivoted arm O and releases the catch n<3>, thus allowing a spring to rock the lever N and throw the belt on to the loose pulley. At the same time, a brake p is brought into contact with a pulley P on the bobbin shaft. To start the machine, the lever N is rocked by hand in the reverse direction until the projection o re-engages the catch n<3>.

Granted: 1911-11-23
Abstract: 27,791. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Nov. 29. Lasting. - A lasting- machine of the type described in Specification 22,630/08 is provided with a device for retarding the slip of the upper ever the wipers during the operation of lasting the toe. A removable plate 10, attached to the wiper support, carries a post 12, which is embraced by the slotted end of a lever 15 which carries the retarder 11. This comprises a crescentshaped foot, which may have resilient horns, adapted to clamp the upper at the end and sides of the toe down on the top face of the wiper plates 2. The slot in the lever 15 permits the retarder to accompany the toe part of the wipers in its advance to a degree controlled by the operator. The lever may be rocked slightly to give greater retarding action on the one side than on the other. In modifications, the horns of the retarder are pivoted to the centre post; the centre part of the retarder or of the wipers is hollowed slightly to permit the toe part of the upper to slip over the wipers more readily than the side parts; the post 12 carries a spring which hears on the upper side of the lever 15, so that, as the pressure on the lever is increased, it pivots about the ends of the horns of the retarder. To prevent the edge of the insole from being lifted by the movement of the upper, the retarder lever may carry a hold-down 20, Fig. 5. The hold-down comprises a spring bar formed with a bend to clear the lip of the insole, and mounted in a saddle adapted to slide in grooved guideways in a block 21, which is adjustably mounted on the lever 15. The saddle is normally held in its raised position with the holddown clear of the work by a spring 24, but may be depressed by a lever 22, which is adapted to be grasped with the lever 15.
