Title: Improvements in Means for Connecting the Torque Rod or Starting Shock Reducing Device to the Chassis in Automobile Vehicles.
Inventor: MILDE CHARLES
Filed: 1908-05-08
Granted: 1909-01-14
Abstract: 10,035. Milde, C., and Gaillardet, F. H. May 13, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Motor road vehicles.- The torque rod of automobile vehicles having a longitudinal driving-shaft is so connected to the chassis that the differential-gear-box on the rear axle is maintained parallel to itself as the chassis moves towards or away from the rear axle, thus avoiding the acceleration or retarding of the driving-shaft and axle and the consequent tendency to skid. Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the radius rod, and Fig. 3 is a section on the dotted line, Fig. 1. The radius rod F is fixed to the differential box E, and is carried by links H, P pivoted to arms M, which are keyed on the shaft K free to turn in bearings carried by the chassis. Thus the raising of the rear axle A lifts the link P, which turns the shaft K and thereby raises the link H by an equal amount. so that the radius rod (and therefore the differential box) always remains parallel to itself. The links H, P may have ball joints or plain bearings at both ends.

Title: Improvements in "Fare" and like Registering and Indicating Apparatus.
Inventor: SAYER HENRY EUSTACE
Filed: 1908-10-15
Granted: 1909-06-17
Abstract: 21,796. Sayer, H. E. Oct. 15. Fares, registering. - In taxameters of the kind in which time only is registered, and in which an indicator is intermittently operated by a spring motor controlled by an escapement actuated by a clock, the apparatus is thrown into gear upon operating a hand-lever 20 pivoted at 19 and provided with a pawl 21 engaging a ratchet 22. When the lever is moved in the direction of the arrow, pins 23 on the ratchet release a projection 26 and allow a wheel 30 carried on a pivoted arm 27 to fall into gear with a clock-driven wheel 7. At the same time a star-wheel 25 carried by the ratchet 22 releases a bell-crank 35 and allows a pinion 15, driven by the spring 10 and carried by a pivoted frame 13, to fall into gear with the indicating-disk. The movement of the pinion 15 is controlled by an escapement operated by pins 32 on a wheel 31 attached to the spindle 33 of the wheel 30. The pins 32 engage with and raise, through a piece 36, an arm 38 provided with a stop-device 39. Pins on a wheel 41 driven by the motor 10 escape when the stop 39 is raised, thus allowing the wheel tc make a half-revolution and rotate the indicator disk. A pivoted piece 42 prevents backward motion of the disk 31. The device is zeroized by a second movement of the lever 20, which rotates the ratchet-wheel and moves the pivoted frames 13, 27 out of engagement. At the same time a spring-controlled lever 46, carrying a roller 45 and normally pressed out of engagement by the pins 23, engages a heart-cam 44 and returns the indicating-disk to zero.

Title: Improvements in Sighting Devices for Guns.
Filed: 1908-11-25
Granted: 1909-05-27
Abstract: 25,393. Krupp Akt.-Ges., F. Jan. 27, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Sights and methods of s i g h t i n g.-The angle between the line of sight and the axis of the bore of the gun corresponding to a given horizontal range is automatically adjusted, as the gun is ele vated, to give the correct angle for firing at a 'target, such as an airship, at the same range but with a large angle of site, so that when the sight is brought to bear upon the target the gun is correctly elevated. Fig. 5 is a side elevation of the apparatus, and Figs. 7 and 8 are sectional elevations in planes at right-angles to one another. The apparatus comprises a telescope sight p<1> carried by an arm m<1> upon a shaft M rotatably mounted in a casing B<0>. The shaft M is connected by s e c t o rgearing m<2>, ql, a shaft Q, a crank-arm U, and a roller u<1> with a cam-surface a<4> upon a body A<0>. The casing B<0> is supported by a pin b<1> in a bracket G, which is pivoted at g<1> to an arm f<1> fixed to the carriage F. The bracket is connected with the gun-trunnion e<1> by links H, e<2>, so that the pin b<1> is parallel to the axis of the bore in all positions of the gun. Before using thesigbting- apparatus, the cam-body A<0> is adjusted to correct for inclination of trunnions &c., by two levelling- screws f<3>, i<3> and a spirit level k<2> until the pin a<2> supporting the cam-body is vertical. To give the sight p<1> the initial adjustment for the range, the crank U is traversed along the shaft Q by a screw-and-nut device S, T, until the roller u<1> rests upon the section of the camsurface a<4> that corresponds to the range required. The gun is then elevated, and by means of the link H, the casing B‹ is rotated relatively to the part Ao. The roller u<1> is thus caused to trace a line upon the camsurface, and, through the gearing q<1>, m<2> and spindle M, imparts such a further movement to the arm m<1> relatively to the casing B<0> that, when the target is seen through the sight, the gun is elevated correctly.
