Abstract: 23,895. Kimberley, F. A., and James Cycle Co. Oct. 19. Variable-speed toothed gearing comprises a double clutch 7 slidable on a driving-shaft 4 and a like clutch 12 slidable on a driven shaft 8, by means of which four speed ratios are obtained. Loose gears 5, 6, which can be alternatively clutched to the shaft 4 by the clutch 7, mesh constantly with gears 14, 15 fast upon a parallel shaft 13. Loose gears 10, 11 meshing with the gears 14, 15, respectively, can be engaged alternatively by the clutch 12. Two speeds are produced by moving the clutches 7, 12 together in the one and in the other direction, and two other speeds are produced by moving these clutches in opposite directions. In the latter cases, power passes along the shaft 13. The clutches 7, 12 can be operated by a lever adapted to turn about two different axes. Other speeds and reversed driving can be obtained by employing additional gears. The invention may be used on motor-vehicles, when the shaft 4 may be actuated through a sprocket 1 and plate clutch, as described in Specification 6606/12. A starter 28, 29 may be applied to the shaft 4.

Title: Manufacture of a Catalyst Containing Vanadium.

Filed: 1913-03-01
Granted: 1913-05-29
Abstract: 5174. Conidelon Soc. Anon. March 2, 1912, [Convention date]. Catalytic materials and processes.-A catalyst for use in the manufacture of sulphur trioxide consists of a mixture or compound containing oxides of vanadium and iron. The catalyst is prepared by adding an iron salt to a solution containing a vanadium compound, and producing in the mixture a precipitate containing iron and vanadium. The precipitate may be produced upon the carrier of the catalyst, and it is advisable to keep the proportion of vanadium in the catalyst so small that the mass does not frit at the highest temperature in the contact furnace. The precipitation can be effected so that after the precipitation only easily volatilized salts remain in the solution. In an example, an acidified solution containing ammonium vanadate and chloride of iron is precipitated with ammonia, and the precipitate is continuously heated to separate the ammonium chloride.

Granted: 1915-04-01
Abstract: 28,174. Torazzi, M. F. Dec. 6. Driving-gear for winding-apparatus; selfsustaining gear; winch handles, engaging and disengaging.-In connexion with winches and like hoisting-mechanism, means are provided for disconnecting and arresting the handles' or like driving-member when the load begins to run down, and the descent of the load is regulated by a brake which is inoperative during hoisting. A hand-crank shaft 5 is slidably and rotatably mounted in bearings in the winch frame 2 and connected by a dog clutch 20 to the pinion 6 by which the drum is driven. The shaft 5 carries a block 14 having ratchet or oblique teeth 3 engaging similar teeth on a loose grooved disk 19, which is prevented from backward rotation by friction pawls carried by the casing 9. During forward movement of the handle 4, the flat faces of the teeth 3 drive the disk 19, but if the motion is reversed, the disk 19 is arrested and the action of the oblique teeth 3 moves the shaft 5 axially and releases the clutch 20, the handle-shaft being arrested by the friction of the cone 17 on the inside of the casing. The load shaft is arrested by the action of spring-pressed friction pawls 25, which are carried on a disk 27 secured to the pinion 6 and engage an internal groove on a ring 30 enveloped by a brake band 35. Lowering of the load is effected by easing this brake.

Granted: 1915-03-18
Abstract: 6940. Sunderland, S. March 19. Gear-cutting.-Machines for cutting spur and helical wheels by a reciprocating cutter moved step by step tangentially to the blank through an amount corresponding to one pitch and then returned, the wheel blank being correspondingly rotated during the feed and stationary during the return, have means for stopping the reciprocation of the cutter while clear of the blank during the return and for taking up the backlash in the generating-train before re-engaging the cutter and blank.. A multiple cam 25 shaped and trunnioned as shown in Figs. 11 and 12 has two surfaces F, G which coact with a pivoted latch 29 carried by a sleeve 27 reciprocating on a fixed sleeve 28, Fig. 7, as controlled by a reversing shaft 21. The latch 29 is only operative in one direction of rotation and rocks the cam to slide a shaft 51, Fig. 8, controlling a clutch 48 transmitting motion to a pinion 36, Fig. 7. The pinion 42 is driven in the opposite direction, both drives being derived from the main shaft of the machine through chain gearing. Reciprocation of the cutter slide is derived from a pinion 16 through a clutch 14, Fig. 6, controlled by a projection 14<B>, Fig. 8, coacting with an incline on a lever 30 brought into and out of operative position by a groove in the cam 25. The flanges on the sleeve 27, Fig. 7, .coact with lugs on a sliding bar 40 controlling the clutch 37. The rotary motion of the blank is obtained from the shaft 21<A> driven in one direction only from the shaft 21 through a ratchet clutch 24. The shaft 21 is geared to the screw 5, Fig. 1, for raising and lowering the cutter saddle. During the cutting of a tooth space, the clutch 37 is in the position shown in Fig. 7, but the clutch 48 is open and the pinion 36 is driven by a ratchet-wheel 35. At the close of the cut a sleeve 27 having moved to the left, the latch 29 is carried into engagement with the cam-surface G rocking the cam 25 and causing the disengagement of the clutch 14, thus stopping the reciprocation of the latter, and the engagement of the clutch 48, thus driving the pinion 36 independently of the ratchet mechanism, now inoperative. A friction clutch C prevents back-lash in the operating-gears. At the same time, the clutch 37 is shifted and the shaft 21 is driven in the reverse direction. The sleeve 27 is then moved to the right carrying the latch under the cam-surface F. The latch 29 is however inoperative until the clutch 37 has been moved by the bar 40 to reverse the shaft 21 again. During the slight interval between the reversal of the shaft and the ensuing operation of the cam 25, the back-lash is taken up in the train connecting the cutter saddle and gear blank. The clutch 48 is then opened and the clutch 14 closed, thus completing the cycle.

The gear 24 meshes with a broad wheel 23 secured to a countershaft 22, which also carries fast gears 29, 28, 31 engaging with gears 16, 15, 14 loose on a driven shaft 10. A double clutch member 33 sliding on a square part 32 of the shaft 10 engages a clutch face 20 on the gear 15 for a low speed, or a clutch face 19 on the gear 14 for reversed driving. A double clutch member 36 sliding on a square part 37 of the shaft 10 engages a clutch face 21 on the gear 16 for a middle speed, and a clutch face of the member 26 for direct driving. The gear 24 is normally kept thrust into operative position by a spring 45, but when the member 36 is moved to the direct-drive position, a hollow rod 43 operates a striking-fork 41 so that the gear 24 is disengaged from the member 26, and the toothed gearing is brought to rest. The members 33, 36 are operated by telescoping rods 35, 39.
