Title: Improvements in or relating to Wheels for Motor and other Road Vehicles.
Inventor: JACKSON HENRY
IPC: B60B27/00
Filed: 1910-04-04
Granted: 1911-04-04
Abstract: 8044. Jackson, H. April 4. Detachable-rim attachments to wheels.-The spokes are movable radially and laterally in order to allow complete detachment of the rim. The outer ends of the spokes are fitted with shoes 14, Fig. 2, supporting the rim. The inner ends are bevelled, and engage a conical flange 7 on a sleeve 7<a> screwed internally and externally. The integral hub flange 2 carries spacing-blocks 4 formed with projections 8. The movable hub flange 3 is prevented from rotating, when the sleeve 7<a> is turned, by the engagement of apertures therein with the projections. A spring 11 assists the spokes in collapsing, and hooks 9 hold the spokes from falling out. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the spokes are moved laterally or tilted by turning the flange 3 which screws on axial projections 1<b>. A separate radial movement is obtained by shifting axially by means of a nut 16 the sleeve 7, which is cut away and slides between the projections lb.

Title: A New or Improved Process for the Production of Lithographic Printing Surfaces.
Inventor: BASSANI LAURENT
IPC: B41C1/10
Filed: 1910-11-22
Granted: 1911-05-11
Abstract: 27,165. Bassani, L. Nov. 22. Printing-surfaces.-In preparing a design on a lithographic surface, an inked typographic plate is first pressed on the surface, and the design thus transferred is covered with an hygroscopic film by drying thereon a mixture of water, dextrine, and candied sugar. A solvent such as benzine is then used to wash away the printing-ink and the hygroscopic film covering it, leaving the surface clear at those parts originally covered by the ink. A sensitive film composed of turpentine, wax, bitumen, and essence of lavender is then spread over the surface, after which the hygroscopic film is washed away in warm water leaving the sensitive film on the surface in the required design. This film is then preferably hardened by exposure to light, and inked up. Instead of the sensitive film, a film of rubber, benzine, turpentine, and colouring-matter may be used.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Vehicle Springs.
Inventor: HUSTON GEORGE MILTON
IPC: B60G11/12
Filed: 1912-04-30
Granted: 1912-10-17
Abstract: 10,274. Huston, G. M. April 30. Composite, elliptic, and semi-elliptic springs. -Relates to vehicle springs designed to oppose a progressively increasing resistance to shocks, in which a number of curved spring leaves are held in contact at one point but separate towards their ends, which are so connected that as the load is increased the area of contact of the leaves increases. The invention consists in connecting the ends of the leaves positively and separately to a lever or the like, which so moves them as the load increases that the area of contact progressively increases. The springs 11, Fig. 1, are bolted to the vehicle body at 13, and are preferably united at the points 14. Their free ends are mounted on pins on the arms 8, pivoted at one end 10 to a member 4 which is bolted to the axle 1, and at the other to the ends 7 of a leaf spring 5 also bolted to the axle. Any shock on the axle 1 produces a downward movement of the ends 7 of the arms 8, which causes the area of contact of the springs to increase. The form of the leaves 11 from the bolt 14 downwards is circular, and the thickness of the leaves preferably diminishes gradually from the outermost to the innermost. For varying loads, the positions of the ends of the leaves on the arms 8 may be varied, and any number of leaves may be employed. In a modification shown in Fig. 2, which is employed on the front axles of vehicles for the purpose of opposing greater resistance to longitudinal strains, one side of the leaves 11 is dispensed with and replaced by an ordinary laminated spring 15.

Granted: 1913-11-24
Abstract: 19,300. Durrant, G. Aug. 23. [Cognate Application, 4617/13.] Registering webs.-Relates to apparatus for laterally guiding webs of the kind in which rollers &c., acting on the selvedge, centre the deviating web, and consists in the provision of an endless chain, belt, &c., the upper run of which travels from the centre of the web outwards, and a device for automatically pressing the web into contact with this chain &c., should the web deviate. Guiding-devices are provided at each edge of the web, supported on brackets a adjustable to and from one another by a right and left handed screw c. The endless chain m is carried by sprocket-wheels i, j carried respectively by a shaft h, driven by a bevel-wheel f feathered on a shaft d, and a shaft k in adjustable bearings. Above the chain m is an arm t pivoted on a shaft v and carrying one or a series of spring-mounted rubber rollers q, which may be turned at any suitable angle to the direction of travel of the web. The rollers q are normally held clear of the web by a spring x, but are depressed thereon by the action, controlled by a feeler 7, of a disk 3 against which a roller 6 on the arm w rests. The disk 3, which has a cylindrical section 4 and a conical section 5, is carried on a shaft y, driven by gearing 2, z from a shaft h<1>. The disk is reciprocated inwards once in each revolution by a sleeve 15, moved to-and-fro by a cam 21 on the wheel z, engaging a stud 18 on a lever 17, The disk 3 has a flat on one side so that the rollers q are not depressed by the momentary movement of the disk. If however the web moves away from the feeler 7, a latch 10 connected to the feeler by a link 9 falls and prevents the return of the disk 3, thereby forcing the rollers q down on to the web until it returns to its path and lifts the feeler 7. In a further modification, the arm t is depressed by a cam-surface on an oscillating sector, actuated by a disk on the shaft y. Provisional Specification 19,300/12 describes a modification in which the disk 3 is moved inwards by a projection thereon engaging a roller on a fixed stud. The return of the cam is prevented by a finger located at the side of the travelling web.
