Title: Improvements in Variable Speed Transmission Gearing.
Inventor: HENRIOD CHARLES EDOUARD
Filed: 1907-04-03
Granted: 1908-04-03
Abstract: 7807. Henriod, C. E. April 3. Brakes.-Relates to an epicyclic variable-speed gearing of the type described in Specification No. 6753, A.D. 1907, [Abridgment Class Mechanism &c.], in which the motion of planet-wheels carried by the driving-element is controlled by reciprocating pistons acted on by elastic media. These media are adjustably compressed and the pistons are operated by cams as shown in Fig. 1 and 2 or by a rack-screw as shown in Fig. 4. The spindles 12, Figs. 1 and 2, of the planetwheels 1 are carried by the fly-wheel 10 on the motor shaft. The driven element is a sun-pinion 3 loose on the driven shaft 4 and in mesh with. the wheels 1. The spindle 12 carries a cam 23 which acts on the end of a rod 20 so as to reciprocate a piston 5 in a cylinder 8 carried by the fly-wheel 10. The farther side of the piston 5 is pressed upon by a spring &c. 9, the other end of which is supported by a plunger 7 adjustable to vary the speed by means of a lever 16 and cam-disk 18. The braking action of the piston &c. on the shaft 12 during the compression of the spring 9 is stated to be maintained during the expansion of that spring by the rod 20 engaging the end of a spiral spring 24 which is secured to the shaft 12. As the spring 9 expands, the spring 24 is coiled backwards on its shaft. The pinion 3 is connected to the shaft 4 by a clutch operated by a sleeve 29. Reversal is stated to be effected in the following manner. A part 25 pivoted upon the rod 20 is turned by means of rods 27 and a disk 26 so as to come into the plane of a cam 22 fast upon the shaft 12. The spring 9 expanding gives an impulse to the cam 22 so as to accelerate the wheel 1 and so reverse the pinion 3. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, the spring 9 is compressed by a pinion on the shaft 12 rolling on a screw 34 which is locked by a bolt 35 so as to act as a rack. At extreme compression, the bolt 35 is struck by the shaft 12 and released from the screw 34. The screw 34 slips round on its axis against friction so as to brake the shaft 12 even though the spring 9 is expanding.
