Title: Improvements in or relating to Motor Cars.
Inventor: STRICKLAND FREDERIC
Filed: 1904-07-18
Granted: 1905-05-25
Abstract: 15,939. Strickland, F. July 18. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to motor cars, and comprises a three-speed and reversing gear enclosed in a box or casing formed in one piece except for its cover, clutches for connecting the engine to the speed gear and for coupling a pair of the gearwheels, and an arrangement of hand-lever and operating sleeves for effecting changes of gear. Figs.1 2, and 3 show the speed gear and clutches, and Figs. 5, 7, and 8 show the gear-changing mechanism. The gear box a is made in one piece and has on each side extended boxes b, b<1> forming bearings for the main shaft c and the side shaft i. The squared portion of the shaft c carries two sliding toothed wheels d, e, while the reduced portion c<1> passes through a sleeve f integral with the initial pinion g of the gear. This pinion gears continually with a wheel h upon the fixed side shaft i, and the wheel h together with the others i, k, are fixed to a sleeve m running on the shaft i. The wheels j, k are adapted to engage the wheels e, d respectively, while the fourth wheel l meshes with a reversing- pinion o adapted to engage when required the sliding wheel d on the main shaft. The whole gear is so arranged that, when the shafts have been removed, the wheels, sleeves, &c. may be taken out of the gear box through the open top a<1>. The initial pinion g engages with the sliding wheel e by means of circular projections r fitting into circular recesses r' in the wheel. The second speed is obtained by putting wheels e,j into gear, and the third by putting wheels d, k into gear. For reversing, the wheel d is put into engagement with the pinion o. The pinion g and sleeve f are driven from a sleeve t, to which they are fastened by suitable cotters t<1>and a collar t<2>. The clutch for connecting the engine to the gear comprises a recessed portion 5 adapted to receive a sliding conical member 6 divided into a number of arms 7 each tarrying a section 8 of the conical surface, which is covered with leather or other suitable material 10. The arms 7 slant backwards towards the shaft, thus allowing a slight resiliency, and forming a better connection between the friction surface. For operating the speed gear, a lever w is mounted between two slots w<1>, w<2>, so that the lever by being moved to one slot or the other will engage one or other of two eccentric sleeves x, x<2>, and thus operate the forks s, s<2> through the sliding rods s<3> and connecting-levers v. Each of the sleeves x, x<2> is formed of a tubular part split and turned back to form arms x<3>,< >upon which are riveted the ends of two resilient levers y', y<2> which bear against the sides of the lever w when in normal position. The lever w has two projections 2 to engage holes 1 in the spring levers y', y<2>, which normally lie in recesses z in the slots w<1>, w<2>. By pressing the lever into one slot or the other, either sleeve x, x<2> may be operated in either direction.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Feed-water Purifiers
Inventor: MUSNICKI ANTOINE
Filed: 1904-11-02
Granted: 1905-01-19
Abstract: 23,725. Musnicki, A. Nov. 2. Feedwater, heating and purifying.- Steam enters a casing 17, Fig. 5, with a removable top, by the pipe 21, and escapes through the exit 22, or, when an excess is supplied, through a pipe 25 having a ball valve. The feedwater to be heated is circulated by the pump through pipes 19, connected at the ends and disposed in a circle. From these pipes, or from any other beater, or without previous heating, the feedwater enters a slotted or perforated pipe 6 traversing a cylindrical casing, Fig. 2. The water flows down the outside of the plate 3, over the edges 10, and finally passes to the boiler through tubes 9. Fresh steam from the boiler enters by the pipe 8 and heats the water. Mud is deposited in the bottoms 11 and carried off by the slotted or perforated blow-off pipes 12. The plate 12 is set accurately horizontal by means of the set-screws 16. In large cleaners, and with muddy feedwater, the guide-plate 3 may be provided with longitudinal trays. Two such cleaners may be provided, one being in use while the other is being cleared out. Or a direct supply pipe may be employed when the cleaner is being cleared out. This is effected by removing the heads of the cylinder.
Patent GB-190424620-A (GB)
Title: Electric Clocks and the like.
Inventor: PARSONS ISAAC HARDY
Filed: 1904-11-14
Granted: 1905-10-19
Abstract: 24,620. Parsons, I. H., and Ball, A. E. J. Nov. 14. Electric clocks.-Relates to a master-clock for working a number of secondary clocks. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the pendulum B drives the crutch A and is periodically driven by a weighted lever N pivoted at N<2> and acting on an incline R<1> fixed to the crutch. The crutch carries a pin A<1> which drives the pallet levers C, C<1> by means of the arms D, D<1>. The pallet levers and the pallets C', C<3> are arranged as shown, and the wheel carrying the pins J, J<1> is thus driven until one of them strikes against an arm F pivoted at H on the crutch. This arm is normally urged to the right hy a weight F<2>, which carries a pin K pressing on the end of the lever G so as to raise its end G' above the spring arm M carried by the lever N. When the arm F strikes one of the pins J, J<1>, the end G<2> of the lever G is allowed to fall, so that, as it is carried to the right by the crutch, it pushes the hooked arm M off the stud 0 and allows the arm N to fall. The contact S carried by the arm N is thus firmly pressed against the contact S<1> carried by the arm T pivoted at T<3>. The electromagnet U is thus energized, and the armature V is turned on its pivot V<1>. A lever W pivoted to the armature is thus carried to the left so as to push against the lever T and by this means raise the lever N and re-engage the hook M. After the lever W has moved a short distance, its point W<2> ceases to bear against the arm T, which now springs back suddenly to separate the contacts S, S<1>. This action of the lever W may be effected by an arm W<1> striking against a pin L or by an incline or by other means. The lever N carries a roller P, which runs first on the dead surface R and then on the incline R<1> to give the impulse to the pendulum. Fig. 4 shows a modification, in which the pendulum A is driven by an escape wheel E' driven by a train from the ratchet-wheel 0', which is turned by the hooked arm M as shown. The electric contact-device is applicable to ordinary clocks with a train of wheels controlled by a pendulum or a balance-wheel. The weighted pieces acting by gravity may be replaced by spring-actuated pieces. The secondary clocks may be arranged in groups, each group having its own battery and contacts.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Vacuum Brakes.
Inventor: CHURCHWARD GEORGE JACKSON
Filed: 1905-10-31
Granted: 1906-07-26
Abstract: 22,177. Churchward, G. J. Oct. 31. Brakes.-A local-venting valve for accelerating service applications of vacuum brakes is made sufficiently sensitive without incurring the liability of its being opened by the ordinary oscillation of the vehicle, and the valve can be operated repeatedly until the vacuum in the train-pipe has been destroyed. The moving parts may be made of aluminium or other light metal. The chamber b is in constant communication with the atmosphere, and is normally closed to a passage a, leading to the train-pipe, by a valve g, which is suspended from a diaphragm d by a spindle f. The diaphragm separates a reservoir chamber e from a chamber c, and carries a collar b<2> which normally shuts off the chamber c from the chamber b. The collar b<2> may be'replaced by a projection which will allow the valve to move slightly without admitting sufficient air beneath the diaphragm to lift it. A conduit k connects the train-pipe passage a with the chamber c, and air can be withdrawn from the reservoir chamber e through a non-return valve l. Slight leakages of air into the train-pipe are prevented from operating the valve by a considerably restricted passage k<2> connecting the two sides of the diaphragm. On the driver admitting a small quantity of air into the train-pipe, the diaphragm d will rise and unseat the valve g to admit air to the train-pipe. When the diaphragm has risen a small distance, its stem will come into contact with a stem i<1> and raise a valve i to admit atmospheric air to the chamber e, through a gauze screen, and reseat the valve g. The pressures in the reservoir chamber e and the train-pipe will then equalize through the valve l and permit operation of the valve again. The valve stem i<1> carries a buffer spring j, and a spring h steadies the diaphragm d.
