In a five forward speed and one reverse change speed gear, especially for motor vehicles, wherein a directly or, as shown, remotely controlled shifting finger 9 engageablo with parallel R-I, II-III, IV-V shift rods 7, 6, 5 is supported for movement in perpendicular planes respectively for cross-shift and gearestablishment, means are provided to prevent unintentional shifts. As shown, the shifting finger 9 is pivoted on a manually controlled shaft 10 which is rotatable and axially slidable respectively to effect cross-shifting and gear-establishing movements of the finger 9, the latter being slidably and pivotally supported by ball faces 11 thereon between legs 12 of a forked member 14 detachably mounted in the gear casing 1. Two projections 42 on the finger 9 co-operate with notches and projections 39, 40, 46 of the legs 12 to prevent simultaneous displacement of the shift-rods 5, 6. A bolt 16 slidably mounted between the legs 12, is spring urged to displace the finger 9 into its II-III position. A locking means 22 for the bolt 16 comprises a ball 24 co-operating with reduced diameter bolt portions 18, 26 and a slot (25<SP>1</SP>) in a slide member 25. The latter is constrained to move with a guide plate 23 which is pivoted on a pin disposed perpendicularly to the bolt 16 and has arms with guide surfaces (34), (35), (36), (37), a projection 32 and a bent over portion (38) for cooperation with the finger 9. Operation:- II-III neutral position shown to " R ".- On cross-shift, the finger 9 presses back the bolt 16 until the R-I plane is reached, the ball 24 moving into the slot (25<SP>1</SP>), and during gearestablishment the finger 9 engages the guide surface (35), the plate 23 downwardly rocks, and the ball is engaged with the reduced diameter portion 18 to lock the bolt 16. " R " to " I ".-The plate 23 and ball 24 are unaffected until, on gear I establishing movement, the finger 9 engages the guide surface 34 and returns the plate 23 to its original position, whereupon the ball 24 is released from the bolt 16. " I " to " II ".-When effecting this shift the finger 9 is prevented from being spring- jumped over to the IV-V plane by engagement of a finger projection 42 with the bent over portion (38). I-III shift without passing through Neutral is prevented by the projection 32<SP>1</SP>, the plate 23 being locked as soon as the bolt 16 follows the finger 9. " II to " III ".-The finger 9 engages the guide surface (36) and upwardly rocks the plate 23, thereby actuating the ball 24 and locking the bolt 16, thereby ensuring that the finger 9 must be moved across neutral before any downshift. " III " to " I V ".-The finger 9 is moved over the guide surface 37 without disturbing the plate 23. " IV " to " V ".-No change in the position of the plate 23. In shifting back to " I " or " Reverse ", " II " must be engaged to unlock the bolt 16.

Abstract: 1382563 Pile driving H STADE 1 May 1973 [3 Jan 1973 10 Feb 1973] 20679/73 Heading E1H In a pile driving method, a hole is bored down to a load bearing stratum, a pre-cast concrete pile is placed in the hole and driven to anchor it in the load-bearing stratum. A quantity of e.g. bentonite may be placed in the bored hole, to line the latter when the pile is inserted and provide an anti-friction and/or anti-corrosion lining. Green concrete may be placed in the bottom of the hole which may be enlarged and the pile driven into the concrete to form an anchor and enlarged base. The hole may be lined with a casing. The pile preferably has a guiding stabiliser on its lower end in the form of a frusto-conical member of sheet metal, the narower end being secured to the pile. The pile may be ridged towards its lower end to increase friction and be provided with an axial bore for the displacement of the bentonite. The bore may be filled with concrete after the pile has been placed. The hole may be bored by a drill mounted alongside a pile driver on frame pivoted to the jib of a pile-driving vehicle. Alternatively the pile may form its own hole, and has, for this purpose, a drill bit attached to its 'lower end. During drilling, flushing medium is pumped through an axial bore in the pile to remove spoil via an annular space between the pile and the wall of the hole. The bit may include a pair of pivoted cutters so that when the sense of rotation of the pile is reversed, these cutters pivot outwardly to form an enlarged bottom to the hole. After cutting this enlargement the cutters are retracted and the pile-raised slightly so that the enlargement may be filled with green concrete via the axial bore in the pile. Bentonite is then introduced via the axial bore until it issues at the surface via the annular space. The pile is then driven or vibrated into the concrete in the enlargement, and the axial bore is filled with green concrete.
