Granted: 1903-08-06
Abstract: 20,033. King, A. Sept. 13. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to a change-speed driving mechanism particularly suitable for motor cars. Fig. 1 shows a sectional plan of the arrangement, Fig. 2 a section on the line A-A of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 a section on the line B-B of Fig. 2. Motion is transmitted from the shaft a through the toothed wheels to the clutch sleeves i,j, k, and from one of these to the shaft 3, depending upon which of the three friction clutches is in gear. Each clutch consists of two parts m, n, which enclose the shaft t, and can slide in the brackets p. The grooves in the shaft t, along with the springs w, throw the clutch into action ; the rest of the surface of the shaft t, working against the rollers u, v, throws the clutch positively out of action. The shaft t is rotated, as desired, by forcing in or out the shaft 1, which carries on its end a screw or pin working in a groove on the inner surface of the shaft t. The three clutches with the sides g, r are fixed together by the bolts S. A reversing action is obtained by sliding the wheel f into gear with wheels 8. A modification is shown in which the three clutches are separated from each other, and are thrown into or out of gear by their direct action with grooves on the inner sliding shaft.

Title: Improvements in Brakes.
Inventor: FISCHER JACOB
Filed: 1903-03-14
Granted: 1903-08-27
Abstract: 5966. Fischer, J., and Schneider, H. March 15, A.D. 1902, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Brakes.-Friction cones are by suitable mechanism brought into contact with brake drums surrounded by helical springs which move levers forming parts of the apparatus whereby the brakes grip more powerfully. Fig. 2 shows the mechanism mounted on the axle b of a railway vehicle. By means of a screw the rod r is moved so that the vertical spindle m is rotated, and the arms n and links l draw the friction cones f into the cups e. The cones f are mounted on keys on sleeves c keyed on the axle b, so that they drive the loosely mounted brake drum d, round which are coiled the springs v. Extensions v<1> of the springs are connected to vertical levers t hanging down from a transverse shaft u on the underframing, and move these levers, which, through a rod s<1> act on levers at the other end of the vehicle and operate the brake mechanism in connection with the other axle. This mechanism reacts by means of the rod s' on that in connection with the axle b, the braking action increasing until the vehicle stops, when the clutches are removed by the springs o. The mechanism may be arranged so that the springs in connection with any axle act so as to produce and increase the axle pressure in the clutches on that axle. The parts are preferably so proportioned that the braking action takes place between the cones and not between the drums and the springs.
