Title: Improvements in or relating to differential mechanism
Filed: 1936-06-17
Abstract: 476,940. Differential gearing. LAPHAM, D. A. June 17, 1936, No. 16886. [Class 80 (ii)] Locking-means for a differential gear to prevent " spinning " comprises jamming rollers 17 arranged between one or both of the side bevels 3 of the differential and the driving casing 4. These rollers 17 are normally maintained in inoperative positions on cam flats 20 on the peripheral surface 18 of the wheel 3 by a cage 14 which is carried round in either direction of rotation by the wheel 3 through the centralizing springs 28 to allow the normal differential action. In the event however of a predetermined difference of speed between the wheel 3 and the casing 4 being exceeded, owing to an excessive differential action such as " spinning," one or other of the springs 28 is compressed by the driving effort for overcoming the inertia of, and the frictional resistance to, the cage assembly 14, and the rollers 17 are moved relatively along the cam flats 20 to lock the wheel 3 to the casing.

Title: Improvements relating to electric starting devices for internal combustion engines
IPC: F02N15/04
Filed: 1920-06-22
Abstract: 145,527. Bosch Akt-Ges., R. May 26, 1919, [Convention date]. Turning-gear.-In an electric starter in which a free-wheel coupling between the starter and the engine shaft is brought into engagement by a brake device and in which a weak current is supplied initially to the starting-motor, the supply of full current to the motor is not effected until the play m the driving-gear is taken up. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, current is supplied initially through a high-resistance field winding H on closing a switch d. The motor M is geared to the engine shaft w through planetary gearing P, a chain-wheel z on the shaft of the planet carrier o, and a chain k passing over a chainwheel F having a free-wheel connexion with the engine shaft. The free-wheel comprises a ring v carrying a pawl x engaging a notch in the chain wheel and normally held by a spring y out of engagement with a toothed disk u on the shaft w. When the switch d is closed, a brake band c, connected by a spring f to a solenoid core r, is applied to the ring v, and the pawl x is thus brought into engagement with the disk u. The consequent tightening of the chain k actuates a lever h and so withdraws a catch g from the end of the core r, which then closes a switch i, completing the circuit of the main field coil E. In a modification, the lever h is acted upon by a lug on the outer member p' of the planetary gearing, which is allowed a limited angular movement against a spring. In another form, a lever such as h moves a solenoid core within the solenoid coil, the switching movement being completed by the attraction of the coil. This core is separate from the one actuating the brake. In other forms, the main switch is closed by axial movement of the motor armature, and the delay in the action of the switch may be caused by a pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric damping-device.

Patent GB-236569-A (GB)
IPC: B23D1/02
Filed: 1925-07-02
Abstract: 236,569. Berthiez, C. July 2, 1924, [Convention date]. Planing.-In a planing &c. machine of the kind in which an additional drive is operative during the cutting stroke, the additional drive is controlled by auxiliary dogs adjustably attached to the main dogs which control the reversing motion, the auxiliary dogs acting, through link work, on a clutch sleeve connected by positive gearing with an electric motor. A rack on the table a is engaged by a pinion o<3> driven by gearing o<1> from a shaft d having fast pulleys d<2>, d<4> thereon for giving slow forward and quick return traverses. The crossed and open belts are connected to a lay-shaft (not shown) driven by a belt from a pulley, rotated by gearing n<1> from a motor n, and are controlled by forks b<5> actuated by cam-slots in a plate b<4> reciprocated at each end of the traverse by a link b<2> connected to a lever b pivoted at b<1> and having rollers b<6>, b<7> engaged by the main dogs a<1>, a<2> on the table. A lever g, also pivoted at b<1>, has an arm g<1> connected by a link g<2> to a rocking shaft h<1> carrying an arm h<3> which actuates a link i having a yielding coupling i<2> and connected to a shaft j' which rocks a fork k<2> engaging a sleeve k. The sleeve k, which is connected to the gear-wheel l and pulley l<1>, is loosely mounted on the shaft d and has clutch teeth which engage teeth on a sloove m keyed to the shaft. The teeth on the sleeve m have rollers mounted between them in order to allow the teeth k to engage them readily In operation, the table commences the cutting stroke by means of the pulley d<2> only, but after travelling about 50 mm. the auxiliary dog e<2> engages a projection f on the lever g to rock the fork k and clutch the motor directly to the shaft d. The sizes of the pulleys l<1>, d<2>, are so arranged that the direct drive rotates the shaft d slightly less rapidly than does the pulley d<2> to facilitate the engagement of the clutch, the belt slipping on the pulley d<2> during cutting. The yielding coupling i<2> also facilitates engagement of the clutch and the proportions and pivotal points of the links are so chosen that the clutch is retained in the closed position. Shortly before the end of the cutting stroke a roller g<3> on the lever g encounters the auxiliary dog e<1>, which disengages the clutch and allows the belt drive to complete the stroke and return the table. Towards the end of the return stroke the auxiliary dog e<2> tilts the projection f against the action of a spring f<2>, allowing the dog to ride over the projection until the table has been reversed by the main dog a<2>. The reversing link b<2> may be operated by a handle b<3> and a handle h<4> and pedal h<5> are provided on the clutch-operating lever h. Specification 171,770 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to apparatus for simultaneously polishing both faces of a travelling strip of glass
IPC: B24B7/26
Filed: 1944-09-13
Abstract: 596,227. Polishing glass. PILKING- TON BROS., Ltd., and WALDRON, F. B. Sept. 13, 1944, No. 17512. [Class 60] In apparatus for simultaneously polishing both faces of a travelling strip of glass, apparatus for polishing the undersurface of a horizontal travelling strip of glass comprising a polishing tool in which a plurality of polishing pads, each adapted to turn on a vertical axis, is supported on a frame adapted to rotate on a vertical axis, is characterised by two independent means for moving each pad vertically, one adapted to drop the pad vertically sufficiently far from the glass to give ready access to its operative surface and to return it to its previous position without disturbing the adjustment, while the other pads remain in operative position supporting the glass, and the other adapted to give final adjustment of the pad accurately into the plane in which the other pads support the glass. In a machine having coaxial upper and lower polishing tools between which the glass strip 8 is moved by driving rollers (not shown), the tool for polishing the undersurface comprises, Fig. 1, a main frame 2 on a driving shaft 1 and having three arms 3 to each of which is rotatably secured a sub-frame having three arms 5 to each of which is rotatably secured a pad 6. Each pad 6, Fig. 2, has a central pin 9 rotatable in a sleeve 10 which is slidably but non-rotatably mounted in a tubular member 11 carried by the sub-frame arm 5. The sleeve 10 receives the screwed shank 12 of a member 13 which rests on the splined end 14 of a rod 15 connected with a crank-pin 16, so that on rotation of the crank-shaft by a handle (not shown) the sleeve is lowered, due to the weight of the parts so that the pad is clear of the glass, thus permitting scraping of the felt covering 7 if this has become caked with rouge, or renewal if worn and damaged. On reverse operation of the crank, the pad is returned to its original position. For adjustment of the height of the pad, e.g. when a felt has been renewed, the member 13 is formed as a long pinion which is in mesh with a bevel gear 20 rotatable by handle 23. ‹
