Title: Improvements in and connected with the Differential Gear and Live Axle for Motor Cars and the like.
Filed: 1907-06-08
Granted: 1908-03-19
Abstract: 13,345. Lamplough, F., and Albany Manufacturing Co. June 8. Differential gearing.-The differential gear and the inner ends of the driving-bhaft and road-wheel axles are enclosed in one casing, the shaft carrying the differential gear transmitting power to the parts of the divided road axle by means of spur gearing ; the parts are so arranged that, when one part of the casing is removed, the differential gearing is removed bodily and afterwards the driving-shaft may be withdrawn without interfering with the live axle. In the construction shown, the casing is made in three parts A, B, C. Between the parts A, B are carried the bearings a for the inner ends of the wheel axles b, and between the parts B, C are carried the bearings c for the differential gear. When the part C of the case is removed, the entire differential gear with its bearings may be removed. The driving-shaft d is supported in bearings e and drives the differential gear through the bevel-wheel f. Shafts l pass from the differential gear and drive the axles b through spur gearing m, n. The bearings a for the ends of the live axles b and the bearings c for the differential gear are self-contained bearings, the outer parts of which are gripped by semicylindrical parts A', B<1> ; B<2>, C' of the casing. A thrust bearing o is provided as shown. The body h of the differential gear is made in two parts parts fitting together by a rabbeted joint and fixed by bolts, while the bevel-wheel g is fixed to one of such parts by rivets.

Title: Improvements in Feed Mechanism for Metal Stamping or Cutting Machines
Inventor: VORGES HENRY DE
Filed: 1907-11-07
Granted: 1908-11-09
Abstract: 24,680. Vorges, H. de, Sperber, N., and Prandi, J. Nov. 7. Stamping.-A device for feeding a metal strip to a stamping or cutting machine consists of a reciprocating clamp constructed to release the strip before being retracted and to grip it again before advancing. The clamp has two members 5, 8, Figs. 1 and 2, pivoted on a pin 9 and reciprocated horizontally by a pin 11 carried by a bar 19 worked from a shaft 15. The pin 11 also causes the opening and closing of the clamp, as stated above, by the arrangement of the slots 10, 12 in the members of the clamp, as shown in Fig. 3. The slots 12 being wider than the slot 10, the inner member 8 is always raised before the clamp moves back, and similarly is pressed down before the clamp advances.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Valve Gear and Governing of Suction Gas Engines
Inventor: KRAUSE PAUL
Filed: 1908-04-11
Granted: 1909-04-13
Abstract: 8087. Krause, P. April 11. Gas engines, valve gear for, and governing in. In suction-gas engines, the governor acts simultaneously on the valve-gear of the cylinder-admission and supplementary air valves, causing one to be closed and the other to be opened, and the exhaust valve is placed at the level of the bottom of the cylinder to facilitate expulsion of residues &c. Gas admitted by a pipe t mixes with air entering by a valve u and holes w close to the admission valve x in an extension y, which also contains the exhaust valve 25 and the additionalair valve 26. The spindle 19 of the valve x is out of the direct path of the incoming charge and is raised by a cam 6, Fig. 3, through a forked lever 23 acting upon the spring-loaded flange b of a sleeve 21. The valve 26 is actuated by a cam 5, Fig. 3. These cams are formed in one with a toothed cylinder 4, the whole being moved longitudinally on the cam shaft 1 by the governor 10 through a lever 13, sector 14, and toothed wheel 15. The conical faces of the cams affect the.valves oppositely. A lever 16 actuates the air valve 17, Figs. 1 and 3.

Title: Improvements in Rotary Engines.
Inventor: TOWLSON EDWARD
Filed: 1908-07-13
Granted: 1909-07-13
Abstract: 14,839. Towlson, E., and Kahn, E. July 13. Fixed-abutment type. The piston vanes carried by the drum are formed as cylindrical rollers working in slots, and may be fluid-pressed. Valve arrangements and packing-devices are described. The cylindrical pistondrum a works in an elliptical casing b provided with two spring-pressed abutments x, and has axial grooves f accommodating piston rollers g. The rollers may be pressed against the casing by rods k<1>, Fig. 6, acted on by separate plungers k subjected to steam pressure. In a modification, Fig. 1, the slots in which the plungers k work are radial, and the actuating-fluid is supplied through a hole n in the shaft. The supply may be cut off when the speed is high enough for centrifugal force to be effective in keeping the rollers out. Steam is led to the working chamber from the pipe S by passages 35 in the casing, passages 25 in a stationary ring 33, and ports 24 in the.drum which communicate with the slots f, whence the steam passes to the working chamber by openings 27 behind the rollers. Exhaust pipes 28 are provided. The rings 33 may act as reversing and cut-off valves, and may be made rotatable by external means to vary the cut-off. Disk-extensions 36 are bolted to the ends of the drum a, the joint between them and the stationary part b<1> being packed with rings 40. Recesses 37 contain plates 38 pressed by springs against the ends of the rollers g to pack them. The spring- pressed abutments x are preferably of cast iron and in two parts separated by springs. They are recessed on each side, and holes are provided in them to equalize the pressures. The rollers g are preferably hollow and made in two lengths. In a modified form of engine which is reversible, steam is not admitted through the drum but through casing ports w, Fig. 4, controlled a pair of valves 3. Steam enters at u and exhausts at 4, or it may exhaust through the centre 5 of the valve 3, Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 1 spring-pressed packing-rings 14, 15 are in this case arranged on one end face of the drum a, and packing-rings 18 are arranged on the other end in a member 17 held to the casing by screws 19, and adjusted in position by a nut 21.

Title: Improvements in Valves
Inventor: WILLIAMSON JOHN TATE
Filed: 1908-07-20
Granted: 1909-06-03
Abstract: 15,302. Williamson, J. T. July 20. Lift valves actuating valves.-A screw-operated lift valve has the operating-mechanism isolated from rigid contact with the casing, and is so arranged that the valve part is practically fixed and the seat is moved relatively to it. The fixed part B is mounted on a diaphragm C secured between the valve body K and a cover T, and on the outside of the diaphragm carries a piece D provided with a groove M to support the hand-wheel Z, which carries the gland bolts Y and engages with a screw thread on the operating-spindle X. Leakage between the cover and the piece D is prevented either by means of an annular plate C<1> or by an ordinary stuffing-box. The moving part is mounted on the spindle and slides in a collar J held between the valve body and a flanged ring F, rotation being prevented by a projection H engaging a groove G. In closing the valve when the annular plate is used, the moving part is first raised until-the neck L comes in contact with the ring J, then further movement' of the hand-wheel depresses the diaphragm and part B to complete the closure. It is stated that when a stuffing-box is used, the parts come into contact before the neck reaches the collar J. Fluid pressure is admitted at C<2> above the diaphragm to balance the valve.
