Title: Improvements in Clutches for Automobiles and other Purposes.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
Filed: 1906-03-30
Granted: 1907-03-30
Abstract: 7709. Thompson, W. P., [Cormack, M. H.]. March 30. Clutches. - Relates to friction clutches of the expanding-band type expanded by wedge action and applicable to automobiles and other vehicles driven by mechanical or electrical power. The interior of the band g, Fig. 8, is tapered longitudinally to correspond with a tapered part f, Fig. 9, which carries a wedge k bearing between the split ends of the band. The part f, secured to the shaft d, is eccentric with the shafts a, d and drum c, and the band g is formed internally eccentric to correspond. The drum c is formed with an end 23 provided with packing 24 so that the drum may contain oil to ensure gradual engagement of the clutch. The parts are operated by the clutch pedal-rod 32 which depresses a lever 17 secured to a loose screwed sleeve 14 on the shaft d, thus longitudinally moving a screwed sleeve 19 which by means of bolts 21 bears on and operates the part f. The sleeve 19 is prevented from rotating by means of a fixed collar 26, lever 27, and link 28 pivoted on a stationary part. A spring 34 acting on the lever 17 keeps the clutch normally in engagement. A journal bearing 1 and ball thrust bearings 5, 8, 10, 12 are provided to obviate friction.

Title: Improvements in or in connection with the Control of the Electric Circuits in Systems of Electric Traction or Haulage.
Inventor: RAWORTH JOHN SMITH
Filed: 1906-11-06
Granted: 1908-02-06
Abstract: 24,923. Raworth, J. S. Nov. 6. Cut-outs; switches; distributing.-In a system of electric distribution in which regenerative motors are used, a derived circuit normally held open is placed across the mains, and is clesed etectro-magnetically when the current-becomes excessive or is reversed. The bus-bar 2 of the generator 1 is connected to the feeders 7 through a winding 14 of an electro-magnetic relay, and to the bus-bar 3 through a winding 15. The windings are arranged so that under normal working conditions the fluxes produced by them are in the same direction. If, however, the current in the winding 14 is reversed by the motors on the feeders 7 acting as generators, the core actuates the switch 17, thereby closing the circuit 18. The winding 19 in the circuit 18 operates the switch 20, and so closes the derived circuit 9 containing a resistance 10, by which the generator 1 and feeders 7 are connected to the return. An automatic overload circuit-breaker 4 is placed between the generator 1 and the relay, and the current generated by the motors connects the feeders to the return if the generator circuit is broken at 4. Each feeder may be provided with a separate relay.
