Patent GB-190523736-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or connected with Road Locomotives and Vehicles.
Inventor: ROBERTS DAVID
Filed: 1905-11-17
Granted: 1906-07-12
Abstract: 23,736. Roberts, D. Nov. 17. Motor road vehicles; traction engines and road locomotives.-Relates to the steering of traction engines, road locomotives, and motor-vehicles, and consists in driving the vehicle through differential gear, one member of which is also independently driven through variable speed gear at a greater, equal, or less speed than the planets of the differential gear, thereby controlling the direction of motion of the vehicle. The invention is described in connexion with an endless-track road locomotive of the kind referred to in Specification No. 16,345, A.D. 1904. The engine a, mounted on the frame A, drives the differential gear h through a longitudinal shaft b and change-speed gear d, and countershaft e. The forward end of this countershaft is arranged to drive a pair of shafts s, t through the gear-wheels r, u, v. On these shafts are mounted pairs of friction wheels which engage opposite sides of a disk w and are driven through differential gear s<3>, t<3> in order to allow for the difference in their distances from the centre of the disk w. The shaft on which this disk is mounted is connected by spur gearing with the main differential shaft j, from which the endless tracks B are driven through side chains. When the vehicle is steering a straight course, the friction gearing is arranged to drive the shaft j at the same speed as the planet carrier h is driven. In order to steer to the right or the left, the friction wheels are moved along the disk w either to or from its centre, thereby driving the differential shaft j at a greater or less speed than the planet carrier h. The friction wheels are moved along the disk by a link 2 operated by an ordinary steering hand-wheel.

Abstract: 26,786. Herbert, F. Dec. 22. Moulding.-Pipes are moulded vertically by apparatus operating in the manner described in Specification No. 26,194, A.D. 1898. The moulding-box A, Fig. 1, is brought on a truck over a pit D, and the supporting-rails are lowered by rams F, Fig. 6, until the truck rests on the cover-plate N of the pit, Fig. 4, when it is secured as shown. A casing P carrying a socket, spigot, or like pattern U is operated by rams O to contact the faces V, W. The pattern U is supported by set-screws placed in one set of a series of holes in the casing according to the amount of compression required. The body pattern L is raised to close the spaces in the centre of the pattern U, and a tube Q is lowered on to its conical end. The diameter of the tube determines the amount of the sand charge. The pattern L is supported by or may be in one with a cylinder K sliding on a fixed ram J. A steam or other heating space M is provided for drying the pattern. Farther rise of the pattern L moulds the body of the pipe, and a collar X raises the pattern U to form the end. The end of the stroke is reached when the projection Y, Fig. 1, reaches the point Z. The tube Q is raised and a pattern R for the other end of the pipe is lowered and fixed to the pattern L by a cotter at T. A slight descent of the pattern completes the mould. The patterns are withdrawn in the order R, L, U, and the mould truck is raised to the rail level. Fig. 8 shows the sand-supplying plant. A mill 1 delivers sand to a riddle 3 above a hopper 4 by a conveyer 2. Rejected material passes away at 5.

Title: Improved Rotary Steam Engine.
Inventor: BITTINGER HANS
Filed: 1906-02-09
Granted: 1906-07-05
Abstract: 3230. Bittinger, H. Feb. 9. Movable-abutment type. - Relates to steam-engines with a rotary piston, and consists in an arrangement whereby the pressure on the sides of a rocking abutment is equalized during its radial swing, thus avoiding onesided and excessive wear and tear due to friction. The inlet port is placed in communication with the exhaust just before the abutment rises. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section, Fig. 4 a cross-section, and Fig. 3 a plan, the last showing the distributing- valve in section. In the annular chamber a, the shaft b carries a rotary piston c provided with a packing-ring d. An abutment e slides into a chamber at the top of the casing, and is actuated by suitable mechanism from a cam f secured on the shaft b. Where che abutment makes contact with the hub, it is fitted with a spring-actuated slide block g. The slide-valve box h is provided with channels registering with the inlet port i and the outlet port k. The distributing - valve is actuated by a cam m. In the position of the parts shown in Fig. 4, the steam is being admitted to the inlet port i. As the piston rotates, the supply is cut off and the steam expands. Just before the abutment is raised, the port i is placed in communication with the exhaust, the valve then being in the position shown in Fig. 3. This equalizes the pressure on both sides of the piston for the purpose set forth above. By a suitable gear to shift the .position of the valve, the engine may be made reversible.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Printing Presses.
Inventor: SMILEY WILLIAM HATCH
Filed: 1907-03-05
Granted: 1907-11-21
Abstract: 5321. Smiley, W. H. March 5. Feeding sheets; platen presses.-Relates to platen presses of the type described in Specification No. 27,710, A.D. 1904, for printing or embossing, and consists chiefly in improved means for reciprocating the bed, removing the platen for making ready, and feeding the sheets &c. to and through the machine. The type bed 3 is carried at the end of a casting 2 working on inclined slides on the main frame 1. The carrier 2 is reciprocated by cranks 14 on the carrier, and arms 15 pivoted at 16 with eccentric adjustment for the impression, to the frame 1. The cranks are driven by elliptic gear 18 and eccentric gear 19, mounted on links 21 and driven from a main shaft 22, in such a manner as to move slowly when making the impression, and when fully open. The sheets, taken from a pile table 87 raised by a. treadle 88, are placed on a stepped feed-table 39, on which they are positioned by a stepped, moving side gauge 79, worked by a cam 86 on the shaft 34, through a double bellcrank lever 81, which can be set to move the gauge in the direction for adjusting the sheet either from the right or left hand side of the feedboard. The front edge of the sheet passes under guides 64 and against stops 66, which are attached to a vertically movable bar 67 and are lifted to allow the sheets to pass, by stops 69 contacting with gripper bars to be described. They are held in their lifted position as shown in Fig. 11, by catches 70 until the sheet has passed ; an adjustable cam 72 on the shaft 34 then releases the catches. The sheets are next carried by adjustable bent spring grippers 54 on one of the gripper bars 38 attached to chains 26 passing over the face of the platen, and are brought to rest a little past their correct position ; this forward motion is obtained through a spur-wheel 46 with ratchet motion, reciprocated through link-work shown in Fig. 2 from a shaft 43. A second gripper bar is then slightly past the correct position for feeding a sheet, and a slight backward motion, given to the shaft 34 by a rod actuated from a cam on the shaft 43, causes the gripper bars to recede and register with stops on the front of the platen 4 and feed. board 39, respectively. The grippers 54 are closed on the end of the sheet to be fed, by a bar 53 with a flat on one side, Fig. 9, being turned by a. cam-actuated rod 59 engaging a lever at one end of the bar. A suitable projection 63, Fig. 4, opens the grippers after the sheet has left the platen. In order to allow the gripper bars to clear the edge of the feed-table, the shaft of the chain-wheels 28 is mounted in cam-operated pivoted levers 30. so as to recede at the right time, the levers 30 being returned by a spring 35 against the action of a dash-pot 37. To keep an even tension on the chains 26, the shaft 37<a> is swung on links pressed outwards by the spring 37<c>. The platen 4 rests on stops at the lower end, and is held by pivoted hooks 6 at the upper end.
