Title: Improvements in Detachable Rims for Wheels applicable also as Apparatus for Stretching Tyres or Tyre Covers.
Inventor: SMITH WILLIAM THOMAS
IPC: B60B21/02
Filed: 1911-02-14
Granted: 1912-02-14
Abstract: 3677. Smith, W. T. Feb. 14. [Cognate Applications, 4542/11, 7124/11, and 9773/11.] Tyre attachmentsto rims; detachable-rim attachments to wheels.-A split detachable rim A, Fig. 1, has plates D, D<1> affixed to the abutting ends and carries at one end a rotatable stud E, bevelled on one side at e, so that in one position it allows the rim to be contracted to mount the tyre and in the other position holds the rim in its normal position. The plates D, D<1> abut against plates F fixed to the wheelbinding tyre, or against the ends of a recess formed on the periphery of the wheel, to take the drive, and the rim is secured against spring- ing outwards by radial screws G held permanently in the felloe by collars g. In the construction shown in Fig. 9, studs D<2> engage holes or slots c in the binding tyre and felloe. Fig. 4 shows a modification in which the felloe C of a wire wheel is depressed for a portion of its circumference and the ends of the rim are held together by the radial screw G<1> in conjunction with a'loose wedge plate D<2> between the plates D, F and a boss a<1>, which may be loose on the rim. To hold the rim expanded beyond its normal size to facilitate mounting on the wheel, chock pieces, which may be connected in pairs by a chain or leather thong, are placed between the ends, or strut pieces with pins engaging holes near the ends of the rim may be used. The rim may be secured by any suitable means or as described in Specifications 15,499/07. 18,075/07, 11,101/08, 11,206/08, 11,573/08, and 20,879/09. The rims are formed with an internal flange or circumferential ribs, and the flange and ribs are notched to provide flexibilty; or the rim A, Fig. 14, and flange a<3> may be cut through and the two parts hinged, a gap in the flange at the hinge to allow for inward movement being filled by a piece a<5>, and a stop piece a<6> being provided on the felloe for the abutment of the end a of the rim. According to the Provisional Specifications, the rim may be expanded by turnbuckle, toggle, or worm or otherwise operated cam or eccentric devices; one end of the rim may be sprung into a V-cut on the other end; a flexible band of canvas and rubber, leather or other material inside the tyre may carry security bolt heads spaced to suit the bolt holes in the rim, as described in Specification 10,499/05 without the adjusting screw and nut. The rim may be secured on the wheel by contracting it into a channel binding tyre, by radial bolts, by clips working in radial bolts, by a ring .with a flange taking over the rim flange, or by a non-detachable expansible ring having taper projections bearing on the rim flange and between the felloe and rim, the ring being expanded by tightening-up transverse bolts and automatically contracting on releasing the bolts.

Granted: 1912-01-11
Abstract: 5955. Newton, P. A., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. March 9. Trisazo dyes are obtained by combining the diazo compounds of acidyl-p-phenylenediamines or acidyl-1:4-naphthylenediamines or derivatives thereof with a suitable middle component, rediazotizing and combining with 2-amino-8- naphthol-6-sulphonic acid, diazotizing again and combining with alpha-methylindole, and finally saponifying the products. Similar dyes result when acidyl-1:4-naphthylenediamines or derivatives thereof are employed as first components together with pyrazolones having a free 4-position as last components. Instead of the abovedescribed acidyl compounds, the corresponding nitro amino bodies may be used, and the dyes obtained finally reduced. The following components are specified : -1-acetylamino-4-aminonaphthalene-6-sulphonic acid, 1-amino-4-nitronaphthalene-6-sulphonic acid; 1-naphthylamine- 6-sulphonic acid, cresidine; alpha-methylindole, 1- phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone. The products dye cotton green to green-blue shades, and may be diazotized on the fibre and developed with #- naphthol &c.

Granted: 1912-03-21
Abstract: 7225. Barker, R. W., [Sterling Typewriter Co.] Hammer-impression arrangements.-The impression-spring 7 engages at its upper end a threaded arm 8, pivoted to a sleeve 9 adjustable on the hammer 1 by a pivoted screw 11 and a threaded sleeve 12. The sleeve 9 is adjusted by the screw 11 to tension suitably the spring 7, while to vary the tension of the spring according to the work in hand, the arm 8 is turned, which causes the end of the spring to travel along the arm. The other end of the spring engages a screw 6 carried by a boss 5 on a pivoted arm 4, adapted to be engaged by a finger 20 on the universal bar 18. When the bar 18 is actuated, the finger 20 first depresses the arm 4 to stretch the spring 7, and then depresses a pivoted pawl 16 to release the hammer. A spring 17 restores the universal bar 18 through the intermediary of the pawl 16, during which motion a spring finger 21 on the universal bar 18 restores the arm 4, which in turn communicates its motion to the hammer through a pin 22.

Abstract: 24,180. Fairweather, H. G. C., [Greist Manufacturing Co.]. Oct. 31. Sewing - machines; presser - feet; marking- attachments. - A presser-foot for use with a tuck-creaser comprises a main rigid part 13, to which is secured by means of a yielding spring 23 a comparatively narrow part 22, both parts co-operating with a divided feed dog 24.

Granted: 1914-03-12
Abstract: 6628. Wilson, H. March 18. Striking-mechanism; chimes.-In a striking and chiming clock, the chiming-barrel B is loosely mounted on, but normally connected by a clutch C to an arbor A, on which the striking-wheel F is fixed, a spring D being interposed between the barrel and the wheel. The arbor, which is geared by means of a pinion T with the usual mechanism embodying' such parts as a rack quarter-work &c., is caused to slide axially just before each hour, bringing the pins on the wheel F into line with the hour-sounding hammer H. The barrel also shifts, so that its pins are out of range of the chiming- hammers H', but the sliding motion of the barrel is limited by a fixed stop E, so that the barrel is unclutched from the arbor. The stop E engages in a notch V in the end of the barrel, so as to hold the barrel in the position for chiming correctly when the arbor A and the associated parts have returned to the normal position. Preferably, the barrel is formed with a spiral edge G, Fig. 5, so that, if the chimes have previously been thrown out of order, the stop E automatically finds the notch V, and a self-correcting effect is thus produced.

In a modification the level is moved by hand and the part g is moved against an adjustable stop to indicate as before. A false square on the web of the instrument is used to indicate the actual inclination of the rails.

The shutter is formed in two parts a, b; the part a is a sector of 120 degrees and is clamped on the driving-spindle c by a split sleeve c<1> and screws c<3>; the part b has two opposite sectors of about 60 degrees each, is mounted loosely on ball bearings, and is driven from the part a by ratchet teeth a<2> acting on taper-nosed spring plungers d so that it can overrun by its own momentum when the part a is stopped, thus allowing a longer time for arresting the film-operating mechanism. The large sector cuts off the light while the film is moved, and the small sector prevents flickering of the film.
