Granted: 1912-07-04
Abstract: 16,864. Johnston, R., Harvey, G. F., and McAnespie, J. July 22. Power-storing mechanism. - In driving - mechanism, more particularly for velocipedes, of the kind in which a spring is wound up under certain or normal conditions and is used to assist the ordinary driving-mechanism when required, a toothed wheel 6 on the axle 4 is adapted to gear with a slidable wheel 7 on a secondary axle 8, the spring 10 being disposed about an internally-toothed drum 9 and anchored at one end to a casing 11. For winding-up the spring, a wheel 14 upon the axle 4 is moved into gear with a wheel 13<a> and a worm 13, and the wheel 7 is slid to the right clear of the wheel 6; rotation of the driving-axle thus imparts motion to the drum 9, and owing to the engagement of a projection 18 with a helical or like groove 19 upon the face of the wheel 7, this wheel is gradually drawn out towards the right to be clear of the drum by the time the spring is fully wound. A ratchet or like device 20, 21 then holds the drum till the power of the spring is required, the wheel 14 being moved to the right tc run idle. To use the spring, the wheel 7 is returned to its position shown in Fig. 2, and the ratchet mechanism is released. More than one spring may be employed, and they may be releasable in succession.

Granted: 1912-09-05
Abstract: 20,173. Shepherd, S. H. Sept. 11. [Cognate Application, 26,826/11.] Braking; relay or power apparatus.-In fluid-pressure brake apparatus for motordriven vehicles, the pump that normally circulates oil for lubricating purposes is used for establishing pressure in the brake cylinder, and independent braking - devices provided at opposite sides of the vehicle are actuated by two independent links which are jointed to a cross-head provided on the ram of a single brake cylinder. Fig. 1 shows apparatus in which the lubricating-oil contained in the engine crank chamber is circulated by a pump a driven from the engine crank-shaft b, through pipes c, d, d' to various passages for effecting lubrication, the flow of liquid being diverted for braking purposes into a cylinder g bv means of a three-way cock e. The cylinder g is fitted with a relief valve s, which allows liquid to return to the crank chamber by a pipe t when a certain degree of pressure is reached in the brake cylinder. The ram h of the brake cylinder is connected to a rod k which operates expanding brake jaws o. In the modification shown in Fig. 6, the brake cylinder g is arranged so that the liquid is normally circulated therethrough, the valve e being dispensed with, and braking obtained by more or less closing a valve s<1> controlling the outflow from the cylinder. The relief valve s described above, which opens when the braking pressure reaches a certain limit, has a restricted bore so as to offer frictional resistance to the passage of fluid and thus set up a further braking effect. The valve s' in the form shown in Fig. 6 may be only partly closed during braking. Fig. 5 shows a pair of brakes arranged one at each side of the vehicle on driving-axles 2, the cams x, n and levers y, m for expanding brake jaws o, Fig. 1, being secured upon spindles 3, 4 carried by brackets 7, which are mounted on the axles 2 and carry the bearing-springs of the vehicle. In order to prevent the relative vertical displacements of the vehicle wheels carried by the axle 2 from affecting the brake gear, each lever m is connected to a link k, Fig. 1, the other ends of these links being jointed to opposite sides of a cross-head carried by the piston h of the fluid-pressure apparatus.
