Title: Improvements in and relating to Self Propelled Vehicles and Vessels.
Filed: 1904-07-23
Granted: 1905-07-22
Abstract: 16,334. Martin, P., and Dick, Kerr & Co. July 23. Driving-gear.-Relates to the transmission gear of self-propelled vessels and vehicles, and consists in the employment of a high-speed longitudinal shaft driven by internal-combustion engines and driving one axle or a pair of axles through reducing and reversing gear, a change-speed gear being placed between the engines and the longitudinal shaft and means provided for operating the change gear and the reversing-gear. The invention is described with reference to a motor vehicle, but is stated to be applicable to vessels. Two internal-combustion engines a, b are mounted, one on each side of a longitudinal shaft c, with their crank shafts d, e parallel to the shaft c. By means of the clutches f, g, the engines drive two intermediate shafts j, k in a gear box l. Each of these shafts carries two pinions m, n gearing, respectively, with two wheels o, p loosely mounted on the shaft c, either of which can be locked to the shaft by a two-way clutch q. The reversing-mechanism comprises two bevel-wheels 19, 20 loosely mounted on a countershaft 21, both engaging with the bevel-wheel 22 on the shaft c. A clutch 23, which may be of the ratchet type, can be put into engagement with either wheel 19, 20. The controlling-mechanism consists of a lever 5 for changing the gear and another lever 6 for reversing. These levers are fast on the shafts 7, 8, respectively, which are geared by bevel-wheels at their lower ends to horizontal shafts s, r. The shaft s has a worm-wheel 3 meshing with a wheel 4 on a countershaft provided with an eccentric 14, which operates through a lever the clutch q. On the same countershaft and placed 90 degrees in front of the eccentric are two cranks 16, Fig. 4, which operate the clutches f, g through levers 27, 18. By this arrangement, the main clutches f, g are withdrawn before the change-speed clutch is operated. For reversing, the shaft r is rotated, and,-through a crank and connecting-rod, operates a lever 26 and causes the clutch 23 to disengage from one of the bevelwheels and engage with the other. In a modification, a single engine is used with its crank shaft in line with the shaft c, and the change-speed gear is dispensed with.

Title: Improvements in High-pressure Sterilizing-apparatus.
Inventor: NIELSEN NIELS JONES
Filed: 1905-03-18
Granted: 1905-08-03
Abstract: 5776. Nielsen, N. J. March 18. Apparatus for automatically regulating temperature.-In high-pressure apparatus for sterilizing fluids, especially milk, which is shown diagrammatically in Fig. 1, and in which the liquid is pumped through continuously and discharged through a loaded valve, means are provided for automatically regulating the supply of fluid and initially returning it to the feed-tank. At the outlet g of the sterilizing-apparatus a is placed a contact-thermometer h, which closes two different circuits at the limiting temperatures, e.g. 128‹ C. and 129‹ C. A suitable device for maintaining the temperature within these limits by controlling the supply of liquid comprises two pawls 1, 2, Fig. 2, pivoted by bolts 5, 6 upon a frame 7, independently oscillated. The pawls are actuated by electro-magnets 3, 4, operated by the two circuits closed by the thermometer h, and engage with a wheel 8, which on rotation adjusts, by means of a screw 9, the position of the connecting-rod 10 in a link 11, which is pivoted at 12, and through which by a rod 13 and crank f the pump is worked. The stroke of the pump is thus varied. The control may be effected by regulating the driving-power, as by cutting off more or less steam in an engine or by varying the resistance for a motor, or by only allowing part of the milk to enter the tubes a. The device shown in Fig. 2 may be replaced by two motors, inserted or cut out by relays, or mechanical thermo-regulators may be used.

Granted: 1906-03-15
Abstract: 10,998. Bromiley, W. I., Hodgson, H. E., and Greenwood, E. M. May 26. Milling.-The working and grinding surfaces of carding-engine flats are milled to the required outline and depth by a copying-machine with an automatically reversed feed-motion. The cutter spindle 20, Figs. 1 and 3, is carried by a weighted slide 21, supported by a rod 25 engaging a templet. At the end of the cutting-stroke, a tumbler lever 28 having a spring stop 29 engages the adjustable stud 27, and supports the slide with the cutter clear of the work during the return stroke ; at the close of the latter, a stud 30 disengages the tumbler. The carriage for the cutter slide moves on ways on a saddle 1 traversed by a screw 4 on a bed 2. Duplicate parts are arranged at each end of the bed 2, one end only being shown in the Figures, for simultaneously milling each end of a flat 24. The feedmotions for the two saddles have a connecting- shaft 41 geared to a parallel shaft on each saddle. The shafts drive worm-wheels 5 which can be clutched to the screws 4 to traverse the carriages and give a quick return as controlled automatically by the gear 12, 13, 15, and the dog-rods 18 connected to the carriages. The flat 24 to be milled is held by adjustable eccentric clamps 36 with its ends upon supports 31 directly under the cutters. The machine may be arranged to cut on both strokes ; in this case the wheels 5 drive at equal speeds and the tumbler gear 28 is unnecessary. When forming the grinding-surfaces, the flats are turned over and the templet is dispensed with.
