Title: An Improved Clothes Pressing or Ironing Machine.
Inventor: FITZPATRICK HUGH DONALD
Filed: 1906-05-09
Granted: 1906-12-31
Abstract: 10,847. Fitzpatrick, H. D., [Salzman, J.]. May 9. Treadle mechanism.-In a treadle clothes press, comprising a telescopic pressing-arm and mechanism for keeping the working parts in correct position as wear occurs, the pressure buck 40, Fig. 1, and heating-apparatus 50 are mounted on a fixed frame 10. The pressing-iron 12 is mounted on a telescopic arm 13 which swings in an horizontal plane on a member 14, the latter being capable of motion vertically. In order to depress the parts 14, 13, 12, a treadle-lever 15, which is connected near one end by a spring 21 to the stationary framing above, is pivoted to the member 14 at 14<1>. An extension 16 on the lever 15 is connected by a toggle 28 with a practically fixed point in a lever 17, the position of the point in a circular arc about the lever pivot 18 being adjusted by a screw 19 which abuts on the frame. The treadle-lever, when depressed, pulls down the member 14 which is attached by parallel pivoted links 20 to the frame, and, at the same time, momentum is stored up in a fly-wheel 22, which is connected by rack 24 and pinion 23 with the treadle-lever. The momentum is given out at the moment of compression of the clothes. The toggle member 28 is capable of limited compression, being made in two telescoping parts 28<1>, 28<11>, Fig. 4, separated by a buffer spring 30. The free play of the parts is limited by a cross pin 31 in the part 28<11> which passes through a slot 32 in the part 28<1>. In order to keep the moving parts of the mechanism in alinement, the ends of cranks 20 are provided with means for giving lateral travel to take up wear at the bearings. For this purpose, the bearing-stud 35, Fig. 5, projects into the end of the link to a determinate distance which is adjustable by a screw 37. The screw 37 is locked in the link by nuts 38 outside and nuts 36 in a recess 34.

Title: Improvements in Change Speed Gearing.
Inventor: GOODYEAR WILLIAM EDWARD
Filed: 1907-11-18
Granted: 1908-05-07
Abstract: 25,516. Goodyear, W. E. Nov. 20, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Variable-speed gearing. -In epicyclic variablespeed gearing, suitable for motor-vehicles, sliding toothed wheels are employed, one of which may be kept from rotating on its axis by a universallyjointed shaft. In one form, the driving-shaft 3, Fig. 1, carries studs 6, 7 upon which are mounted planet-pinions 8, 9, respectively. The pinions 8, 9 mesh together near their inner flanks so that they may engage singly near their outer flanks with an internallytoothed ring 10 upon a casing 2 carrying a transmitting bevel - gear 20. The hub of the pinion 8 is universally jointed to a shaft 12 which slides and rotates inside a sleeve 13. The sleeve 13 is universally jointed to a shaft 14 which is held rigidly against rotation. The shaft 12 carries a double claw member 18 adapted to engage in its extreme positions with members 16, 17 upon the ends of the sleeve 13. The shaft 3 is slid longitudinally to vary the speed by a lever 19 and sleeve 4. In the position shown, the member 18 engages the member 16, and the pinion 8, revolving with the shaft 3 without rotating on its own axis, drives the ring 10 directly, giving the low speed. When the shaft 3 is moved to the right the member 18 becomes disengaged, and the pinion 9 coming into mesh with the ring 10 causes the ring 10 to be driven solid with the shaft 3. The high-speed drive is effected through the pinion 9 when the shaft 3 is slid farther to the right, disengaging the pinion 8 from the ring 10 and, bringing the member 18 into engagement with the member 17. In a modification shown in Fig. 5, the shaft 3 carries two planetgears 24, 25 on one spindle, and a claw member 30 adapted to engage a similar member 29 on the casing 2 to effect a solid drive. The gears 24, 25, which are connected by a sleeve, are held against rotation on their spindle by a shaft 12 as before, and reduced speeds are obtained by sliding these gears into mesh with rings 26, 27. respectively, on the casing 2. The sleeve 13 has in this case long teeth, as shown in Fig. 6, always engaging a toothed member 28 on the shaft 12 with a gap 31 to permit of the solid drive.
