Abstract: 6926. Torrigiani, Marquis L. March 20. Centrifugal speed indicators; partic u l a r - speed alarms. - Apparatus for motorvehicles is arranged to sound a bell alarm at a given speed, above which there is an interval of silence before the bell sounds again at a higher speed. The radial movement of the rotating masses 21 upon the main shaft 22, Fig. 1, raises a sleeve 24 against the action of a spring and thereby disengages a pivoted arm 27 from a projection 32 upon a spring-impelled shaft 33. This shaft then oscillates under the control of an arm 36 thereon, the end of which is constantly forced against a snail cam 35 upon the main shaft, and the hammer arm 37 upon the shaft 33 is thereby caused to oscillate and to sound the bell 40. At a higher speed the hammer shaft is again arrested by the contact of the arm 27 with a higher projection 43, above which the bell will be again sounded but at a greater rate. According to a modification, Fig. 4, the rotating masses 85, 86 are carried by bent levers which depress the sleeve 93, similarly controlling the movements of a hammer shaft 102. In this case the downward movement of the sleeve is resisted by spring buffers 111, 113, which come into action successively. Transmission mechanism. - The indicator is driven from a shaft of the motor or vehicle by means of a fork part thereon, engaging pins c upon a flanged sleeve b, Fig. 1, of the main indicator shaft.
