Title: Improvements in or relating to Variable Speed Gears for Cycles, Motor Cycles, Motor Cars, and the like.
Inventor: SLAUGHTER THOMAS
IPC: B62M25/00
Filed: 1909-02-19
Granted: 1909-12-16
Abstract: 4091. Slaughter, T. Feb. 19. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Variable-speed epicyclic gearing. -In variablespeed gears for cycles, motor-cycles, motor-cars, &c., the inner members 8, 8<a> of two epicyclic trains, together with brake drums 9, 9<a> therefor, are freely mounted upon a hollow driving-shaft 3, and the planet-pinions 10, 10<a> are carried by the hub shell or gear casing 2, which encloses the gear and is adapted to be engaged by a centrally-disposed cone-clutch member 25 carrying the outer members of the trains and arranged in driving connexion with the shaft 3 ; a single train with its parts similarly disposed may, however, be employed. As shown in Fig. 1, the variable-speed mechanism is combined with reversing-gearing comprising compound planet-pinions 26 upon the hub in gear with a driving-pinion 29 and with a controllable pinion 30, the arrangement being such that when the clutch 25 is disengaged from the hub, and the pinion 30 is held by a brake band applied to a drum 31, the reverse is obtained. For the direct drive, all the brake drums are released and the clutch is moved to the left into engagement with the hub ; for lower speeds, one of the sun-wheels is held stationary and the clutch is moved clear of the hub, the drive then taking place through the internal ring 6 and the set of planet-pinions in mesh with the fixed sun-wheel. For controlling the position of the clutch member 25, a rotatable bush 19<a>, Fig. 4, with pins 17 to engage the member, is forced to the left by a spring 32, and to the right by a central rod 22 within the fixed axle 4, a cross-pin 21, a sleeve 20<a>, and balls 33, the sleeve being pressed towards the bush by a spring 34. The rod 22 is operated by a lever 35, Fig. 1, the upper end of which is forced outwards by a roller 37 upon a lever 36 controlled by a rod 38. By using one forward-speed train only, a two-speed and reversing gear is formed ; for a three-speed gear alone, each end of the hub may carry planetpinions to mesh with internal teeth upon the two sides of the clutch member 25. The removal of the axle nuts, brake drums, belt pulley, and screwed studs 5<a>, 28<a> permits the gear and axle to be withdrawn from the hub with the end plates 5, 28.

Inventor: FABRY RENE
IPC: C10B21/10
Filed: 1911-10-25
Granted: 1912-03-07
Abstract: 23,562. Fabry, R. Oct. 25. Coke ovens. - The principle of 'fractional combustion,' described in Specification 21,593/07, is applied to vertical-flued horizontal or inclined regenerative coke ovens, having several groups of heating- flues in each wall, which are traversed in succession by the burning gases, while the whole of the air for combustion is admitted to one of the end groups. The vertical heating-flues F to F7 are shown divided into four groups, the flues F, F3, F4, F7 communicating with a sole flue which is divided into three sections D, D1, D2, wnile the flues F1, F2, F5, F6 communicate with a smaller sole flue, divided into two sections E, E1. The gas burners H to H3 open into the horizontal flues G to G3, which connect the tops of the heating-flues. The air for combustion passes from the regenerator A, through the damper-controlled passage B, to the sole flue D, from which it ascends the flues F and meets the gas from the burners H. The excess air, with products of combustion, descends the flues F1 and rises in the flues F2, meeting further supplies of gas from the burners H1. It alternately descends and ascends the remaining flues F3 to F6, meeting further supplies of gas from the burners H2, H3, and the products of combustion finally pass down the flues F7 to the regenerator A1. On reversal, air is admitted at the right-hand end of the wall, and the gases ascend in the flues which they previously descended, and vice versa.
