Abstract: 29,078. Ravier, C. Dec. 30. Driving-mechanism.-In a free-wheel and two- speed driving-gear for bicycles and motor and other cycles, the variation is effected by reversing the rotation of the driving-element. In forward- pedalling, a spring-controlled pawl r upon the part b drives the I-shaped hub a through the part j ; in free-wheeling, the tooth upon the part j wipes over the pawl, while, in back-pedalling, a pawl s drives a loose pinion d and the hub is turned through the planet-pinions e engaging a fixed wheel g. The recess i may be used for an expand- ing brake. The pinions are let into recesses in the outer cylindrical surface of the hub.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Knitting Machines.
Inventor: SPIERS THOMAS
Filed: 1905-12-06
Granted: 1906-09-13
Abstract: 25,375. Spiers, T. Dec. 6. Circular knitting-machines.-Relates to a needletransferring device for machines of the superposed-cylinder type.' A finger 4, pivoted to the cam carrier, is used in conjunction with the usual transferring-cam 6. When the cam 6 rotates, one of its arms 5 raises the finger 4 as shown, which in turn raises the needles 8 clear of the arm 5. After the arm 5 has passed the finger 4, the latter falls again as shown in Fig. 3, leaving the needle 7 raised by the arm 5 into the track of the transferring-cam. To hold the work down after the transference of the needles and tu facilitate knocking-over, a plate 9, Figs. 5 and 6, carried by a spring-controlled bolt 10, is used. The bolt 10 is depressed by a cam 16. The plate 9 may be of the form shown, or may consist of a series of such plates or a single plate in the form of a sleeve. The lower edge of the plate 9 rests within the lower needle cylinder 15, and on the depression of the bolt 10 by the cam 16 depresses the fabric 18.

[Published under Patents Act, 1901.] - Sleepers; rails, securing to sleepers.-Permanent-way rails are supported on short grooved composite sleepers in the form . of a cross, and are secured thereto by special means. Fig. 1 shows the sleepers 1, formed of cement or like material strengthened with embedded metal wires 4, and having wedgeshaped grooves 3 on their under surfaces, into which the earth is wedged to prevent them from being displaced. Rectangular grooves, on the upper surfaces of the sleepers, receive the ends of flat metal tie-bars 8 so that their upper surfaces lie flush with the surfaces of the sleepers. The rail is secured in position by bolts 12 passing through the rail web and through elongated slots in clamping - plates 13, to allow for expansion of the rails. The plates 13 rest upon the upper surface of the tie-bars, and are secured to the sleeper by bolts passing through the tie-bars and sleeper into the recesses 3. The heads of the bolts bear against the underside of a flat metal plate 17 wedged into the recesses 3. The number and relative position of the strengthening-wires 4 in the-sleepers may be varied, and barbs are provided within the sleeper to prevent them from being displaced longitudinally. A modified reinforcement consists of a strip of woven wire.
Patent GB-190609311-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Mechanical Inking and Cleaning of Engraved Plates for Direct Plate Printing.
Inventor: MACDONALD THOMAS
Filed: 1906-04-20
Granted: 1907-02-28
Abstract: 9311. Macdonald, T. April 20. Printing from engraved plates.-Relates to apparatus for inking, scraping, cleaning, and polishing engraved printing - plates. The inking, cleaning, and polishing is done by a number of independent pads B, D, E, having a swinging, rolling, or turning motion imparted to them. The scraping is done by scrapers C of celluloid or horny material. The whole is carried by a frame A, moved to and fro intermittently by catches on continuously moving side chains, which engage with stops on the frame and then pass out of contact with the stops by running over a pulley. Another continuously moving chain, situated either at U<1> or U<2>, imparts through eccentrics &c. a revolving motion to a frame X carrying the upper ends of the spindles carrying the ink pads B. The spindles of the pads D, E, and the lower ends of the spindles of the ink pads B, are journalled in a frame Z which receives a transverse reciprocating motion. The scrapers C are also carried on the frame Z. The pads D, E are also revolved through the chain U<2>. Means comprising transverse bars actuated by shifting cam-plates at the side of the bed G are employed to raise and lower the pads B, D, E at the correct times. The action of the apparatus is as follows : The ink pads B are first lowered on to the ink slab H and the distributing-scrapers I, and then pass on to the engraved plate J, their peculiar motion causing the ink to be well rubbed in. The ink pids are then lifted, and on the return movement of the frame A the scrapers C remove the excess of ink on the plate, and deliver it for re-use to the distributing-scrapers I, while the cleaning- rollers D and polishing-rollers E are moved to the plate J, being afterwards lifted by the beforementioned side cam plates, which are actuated by tappets on the frame A at the end of each stroke. Similarly actuated cam-plates are also provided for lifting and lowering the wet brushes and trough K and the scrapers L, which remove dirt or excess of ink from the cleaners D. A chalking or dusting colour slab N and dusting-brushes M for the polishing - pads are provided at one end of the apparatus, as shown. The pressure of each pad is separately controlled and adjusted by weights and springs. A handle u is provided for turning the pads D by hand when extra cleaning is required by the scrapers L and brushes K.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Speed-recorders or Indicators
Inventor: WALDER HANS
Filed: 1906-06-22
Granted: 1906-10-11
Abstract: 14,335. Walder, H. June 24, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Speed indicators of the type in which the rotary movement of a series of magnets effects a greater or less movement of a metal plate according as the magnets rotate at a higher or lower speed, are so arranged that the plate moves in a tangential direction against the action of a spring. Magnets 5 are arranged in a frame 4 secured to the rotating shaft 3 and, owing to the eddy currents set up, tend to move a metal plate 6 tangentially against the action of a spring 23. The plate is mounted on wheels 8; 10 guided by rails 11, 9, or the wheels may be toothed to engage with racked rails, the spring being caried on the wheels. An iron plate 12 serves to intensify the action, and the magnets may be arranged in two rings with opposite poles 24, 5, Fig. 4, adjacent ; in this case, the metal plate is provided with a rib 25 taking between the rings. The motion of the plate is indicated by a pointer 13 which moves across a scale 14. For recording continuously, a strip of paper is led from a spool 19 over a recording-roller 15 to a roller 20 which is pressed by springs 22 against the record roller 19.
