Title: Improvements in Change Speed and Reversing Gears particularly applicable to Motor Vehicles.
Inventor: RILEY PERCY
Filed: 1904-09-28
Granted: 1905-08-10
Abstract: 20,860. Riley, P. Sept. 28. . Motor road vehicles.- Relates to step-by-step change-speed and reversing clutch toothed gearing in which the Driving and driven shafts are co-axial and clutched together to give one speed, each of the other speeds being obtained through a separate countershaft. Figs. 1, 2, and 3 show a form of gearing giving three forward speeds and one reverse. The ends of the driving and driven shafts A, D may extend into and support one another, and the driving- shaft A carries two toothed wheels B, C, the wheel C being formed with clutch jaws C<1> adapted to be engaged by jaws E<1> formed on a broad toothed wheel E which rotates with but slides longitudinally on the driven shaft D. A reduced speed is obtained through toothed wheels G, H<1>, mounted freely on the countershaft F, which gear continually with the wheels B, E, the sleeve on which the wheel H<1> is mounted being moved longitudinally so that clutch jaws H<2> formed on it engage jaws G' formed on the wheel G. Another speed is obtained similarly through wheels mounted on the countershaft F<1>. The reverse speed is obtained by means of two toothed wheels J', J<2> fixed to a freely-rotating sleeve J, the wheel J<1> being continually in gear with the wheel C on the driving-shaft, and the wheel J<2> with the wheel L which is freely mounted on the countershaft F ; the gear is brought into action by moving the sleeve carrying the wheel H<1> so that the clutch jaws H<3>, L<1> engage. The sliding of the various parts is preferably brought about as follows :-Each sliding part is connected by a fork to a sleeve N mounted on a fixed spindle M and acted on by a spring which tends to force the sliding part into engagement. Arranged transversely to these rods M is a shaft 0 carrying cams with recesses O<1> which allow the springs to press the sliding parts into engagement when the cam shaft is in the proper position. For reversal, the sliding sleeve H is pressed into position by a camswell O<2>. The cam shaft is provided with a pinion P engaging a sector P' which is suitably operated from the speed lever. In a modified construction, shown in Fig. 6, suitable for a tri-car, the driving- shaft A<1> passes through the gear box, and carries the hollow driven shaft D<2>, which is provided with a chain sprocket D' and toothed wheel E'. The direct drive is obtained by moving the pinion C<1>, keyed on the driving-shaft, until clutch jaws formed on it engage with similar jaws on the wheel E<1>. The reduced speeds and reversal are obtained through countershafts as in the first construction. The method of operation by sliding the several parts is similar, but the rotating cam shaft is replaced by a longitudinally-sliding rod O<3>, having recesses for the forward speeds, and operating a rocking lever for the reversal.

The bottle B is gripped by jaws worked by cams i<2> on the square spindle i<3>, which may be turned to actuate the jaws by a sleeve i<5> rotated by a cord and the treadle j. The jaws i are supported on the spring head of the adjustable sleeve h. The bottle is positioned vertically by an arm d<2> pivoted at d<1> to the head d vertically reciprocated by the treadle g and a link. When the head d moves down, a fixed cam d' moves the arm d<2> aside. The labels L are placed with their printed side downwards in the receptacle o. The labels are fed upwards by a screw c<2> engaging with a worm-nut o<3>, o<4> turned by a pawl o<5>. A pair of gumming-pads k, Figs. 1 and 3, are carried by springs k<7> pivoted at k<8 >to a sliding block k<9> pulled to and fro by rods n<2>, levers, and links n<3>, n<4>, n<5>, n<7> connected to the treadle g. The blocks k<9> slide in arms k<1> pivoted at d'. As these arms descend with the head d, they are opened out by the fixed cam k<4>. The pads are turned over to transfer the label to the bottle by means of pinions n' engaging with racks on the arms k<1>. The pads take gum from a band l<1> which runs in a tank l over wheels, one of which is moved by a rack m<3 >and pinion. The tank is forced back by the projections m<2> engaging with the sides l<5>. The gummed pads remove a label and place it on the bottle stopper &c., and then turn downwards and outwards out of the way. The label is fixed by a pneumatic cap p supplied with air from a reservoir q compressed by the plunger p' or by a cam. Instead of the cap p, brushes b, Fig. 5, may be used. These are mounted on suitably tripped levers 1, 1. The label is held down by a spring presser 8. Fig. 7 shows a machine for fixing body labels. The labels are fed upwards in the box s by screw-and-nut mechanism as before, but the pawl s<1> moves vertically. The pads r rotate on rods r<1> so as to open out and take gum from the gumming-bands u or to close together when picking up a label and when holding it against the bottle B. This rotation is effected by pinions r' running on fixed racks r<3>. The rods r<1> are swung to and fro on the pivot r<5> by linkwork. The gumming-bands are fed through the gum trough u<1> by pawl-andratchet mechanism. The pneumatic fixing-pad v, v' is turned on its centre v<3> by linkwork.
