Abstract: 21,649. Bowen, G. Sept. 17. Raillway-carriage doors, fastening automatically.-In a railway-carriage-door fastening which is operated by an incline secured to the station platform, a spring-shot bolt is withdrawn by the tightening of a chain D, secured at its end to a bracket E on the lower footboard, by a plunger G when this strikes an incline I on the platform. The chain D is guided over pulleys K, L, M, N, and the plunger G carries a pulley F to reduce friction. A spring H tends to prevent the plunger G from tightening the cord D.

Abstract: 17,768. Siemens - Schuckertwerke. Aug. 4, 1910, [Convention date]. Alternating - current commutator machines; alternating-current induction machines.- In controlling a polyphase induction motor by connecting the rotor to a polyphase commutator motor, this motor' is so constructed that the ratio of the effective ampere-turns is, ir of the stator and rotor is equal or approximately equal to the cosine of the angle of displacement a of the stator and rotor current systems when the induction motor is passing through its synchronous speed. With such a construction of commutator machine, direct current is supplied to the rotor of the induction motor when this is running in synchronism. The commutator machine may be series or shunt wound, or may be connected up in any other way. The phase angle a may be varied by shifting the brushes, and the ratio of the effective ampere-turns of the rotor and stator may be varied by means of transformers, tappings, double brush sets, and other means.

Abstract: 22,097. Emmott, R. Oct. 7. Impact pulverizers.-In crushing, pulverizing, or disintegrating machines of the type in which pivoted hammers 4 carried by rotating disks 3 on a shaft 2 work over a semicircular grate 5 composed of V or like shaped bars, the crushed grain, sugar, salt, &c. is carried by the air current produced by the hammers up an outlet passage 9, which is arranged at the opposite side of the machine to the feed-shoot 7 and is fitted with a screen 10 closed at the upper end. The screen is surrounded by a casing 11, and the fine material passing through the screen falls down on to inclined shoots 12 leading to an outlet 13. The screen is carried by bottom and top plates 10', 10<2> connected by rods 10<3>, the whole resting loosely upon the top of the outlet 9 so as to be readily removable. A bag or balloon 14 at the upper end of the casing 11 filters the escaping air, and the screen is preferably tapped at intervals by a vibrating arm operated from the driving-shaft. The feed shoot or hopper 7 has a pivoted and counterweighted or other door 8, and the hammers 4 work between a series of inclined bars 6 arranged above the disks 3. If two grades of fineness are desired, the larger particles may be allowed to pass through openings at the bottom of the grate bars, but if only a very fine division of the minerals &c. is required, the grate bars may be placed close together so as to close the openings, or a grooved surface without openings may be used.

Title: Improvements in Variable Gears for Motor Cycles.
Inventor: SAUNDERS MONTAGU
IPC: B62M25/00
Filed: 1911-11-29
Granted: 1912-10-24
Abstract: 26,701. Saunders, M. Nov. 29. Variable-speed epicyclic gearing comprises an arrangement by wbich for the high speed there is a direct drive through the planet-carrier, and for the second and third speeds, respectively, some or all of the gear-wheels are utilized. A sunwheel 1<a>, Fig. 1, fast upon a fixed axle 1 meshes with planet-gears 2 supported upon a longitudinally-slidable carrier 4. The carrier 4 also supports planet-gears 5, Fig. 2, which mesh with the gears 2 and also with an internally-toothed annulus 6. A second annulus 3, which meshes with the gears 2, is connected by a ring 7, Fig. 1, to the annulus 6, so that the revoluble gears slide together along with the carrier 4. In the configuration shown in Fig. 1, which illustrates the adaptation to the driving road wheel of a motorcycle, clutch dogs 4<f> upon the carrier 4 engage recesses 11<b> in a driving-sleeve 11, so that the gearing turns solid. Keys 4<a> upon the carrier 4 are in sliding engagement with keys 12<b> on a non- slidable sleeve 12, which carries a pedal-driving free-wheel sprocket 30. When the carrier 4 is moved one step to the right, the dogs 4<f> become disengaged, and the annulus becomes driven by keys 3<b> thereon engaging keys 11<a> on the sleeve 11. The gears 2 then turn on the wheel 1<a> and the carrier 4 is driven at reduced speed. On further movement of the carrier 4, the keys 4<d>, 12<b> become disengaged and dogs 6<b> upon the annulus 6 engage dogs 12<c> upon the sleeve 12. Power then passes from the annulus 3 through all the moving gears, and the annulus 6 is driven at a further reduced speed. Power passes from the sleeve 12 to the road wheel hub 14 through a multiple-plate clutch 13, which is normally held in engagement by springs 15. The carrier 4 and clutch 13 are operated by pull-rods 9, 17 with cross pins 8, 18. The sleeves 11, 12 are supported upon rollers 22, 22<a> so that the bearings may be adjusted by moving one cone 21. The sprocket 30 may be used to drive the hub 14 only, or to drive the engine only to start it.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Driving Mechanism for Power Driven Vehicles.
Inventor: MIRKOV TODOR
IPC: F16H29/20

Granted: 1912-12-16
Abstract: 28,363. Kirkov, T. Dec. 16. [Addition to 15,685/11.] Variable-speed ratchet gearing.-In the ratchet change - speed gearing described in the parent Specification, the worms are mounted so as to oscillate about the worm-wheel shafts, and are oscillated by cams on the driving-shaft. Figs. 1 and 2 show vertical and horizontal sections. The cams 7, 8, which are of variable eccentricity, impart reciprocating m o t i o n to rings 9, 10, each of which consists of an inner and an outer part separated by balls 16. The rings are guided by stems 13 engaging in lugs 14 in the casing 5. The wormwheels 19, 20 are rigidly mounted on the driven shafts 2, 3, and the worms 25, 26, 27, 28 are each mounted in brackets 21, 22, 23, 24 rotatable independently on the shafts 2, 3. Each bracket is provided with a pin 29, which engages in a slot in the corresponding arm 17, 18 on the ring members 9, 10. The worms are rotated from the driving-shaft by conical friction gearing 31, 32, flexible shafts 33, and slipping clutches. When any worm during its oscillatory movement is driving its shaft 2 or 3, the friction between the worm and worm-wheel prevents rotation of the worm, the slipping clutch in the worm driving-gear permitting this ; but on the return movement, the worm is rotated at such a speed that the worm-wheel continues its motion unchecked. The driving friction wheel 31 is formed as a double cone, and the friction wheels 32 driving the upper worms contact with one cone, while the other friction wheels contact with the other cone. The speed is varied by adjusting the cams 7, 8 longitudinally, and reversal may be effected by extending the cams beyond the concentric portion and symmetrically therewith. The worm driving-gear must also be reversed, and this is effected by mounting the friction wheels 32 in a frame 37 pivoted at 36, so that the upper and lower pairs of friction wheels may engage either of the driving-cones 31. The worm-wheels may be driven at different speeds, for running round curves, by turning the rings 9, 10 about their pivots 13, so as to increase the amplitude of the oscillations of the worms acting on one wormwheel, and simultaneously diminish that of the others.

Abstract: 1842. Kennedy, D. E. Jan. 23. Tile floors.-Tile floors are laid in sections, each section comprising say twenty-five tiles, and the four corner tiles a of each section are first laid down and secured at such distances apart that the remaining tiles have to be pressed down in order to get them into place. The sides of each section are then filled in with tiles b, the last two tiles b<1> being placed as shown in Fig. 4, previous to being forced into place. A second line of tiles is then placed in the hollow square, commencing with the corner tiles and filling-in the sides. The work is thus brought down until space for nine tiles only is left. In the case of twenty-five tile-sections this occurs after filling-in the outer square of tiles a, b, b<1>. A corner tile c is then laid down and two sides of the square are filled with tiles c', c<1>. The last four tiles d are laid simultaneously. By this method lateral pressure is placed equally on all the tiles.
