Abstract: 23,626. Trigwell, J. R. Oct. 24. Brakes.-In hub brakes for velocipedes &c. of the type in which a band or ring located within the hub is expanded against the parallel or tapering surface of a casing b by an arm or lever actuated by back-pedalling or by hand, the disk, drum, or plate c, Fig. 3, upon which the band is mounted is pressed and formed from sheet metal in one piece with its anchoring-arm c<2>. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, a band e resting upon the integral flange c' of the part c has an end e<1> which abuts against a stop e' upon the flange, while it is expanded from its other end by a lever h carrying a nose or projection i, a pin j retaining the parts in position. The arm c<2> may have an eye k to carry the stop for the operating-wire. The band may be prevented from lateral movement by means of projections engaging recesses, or by slots and projections. A bracket for supporting the lever may be formed separate from the disk, and maybe clamped thereto by embracing the thickness thereof, the pivot of the lever passing through the two members of the bracket and an open-ended slot in the disk. A flange held by the nut upon the spindle covers the opening between the disk c and the casing b. Another nose i may be formed upon the opposite side of the fulcrum of the lever h to engage a corresponding inturned end of the band, the parts e', e' being dispensed with. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 5 and 6, a plain split ring m is expanded at both its meeting edges by the doubleacting cam-surface of an horizontal lever h<1> mounted at g<1> upon an off-set n upon the disk. A screw o keeps the band in position. For lightness the band may be grooved out, being plain and complete at the ends. In another arrangement, a split ring formed with flat parallel-faced lugs may be expanded by a lever with a correspondingly-shaped cam having opposite acting noses ; the faces may be at right-angles or inclined to the plane of the ring. One lug and one coacting nose may be used, and the faces of the lugs may form an angle with each other. The flange may be formed in a separate pressing, and may be fixed to the disk and arm. According to the Provisional Specification, (1) one end of the split ring may be pivoted to the disk ; (2) the stop may be attached to the frame ; (3) an eccentric cam upon the lever, or a separate angular block upon a pin carried by the lever, may be employed in the arrangement with the faced lugs ; and (4) the brake may be applied to the crank axle and may be operated by back-pedalling.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Fluid Operated Percussive Tools.
Inventor: KENT-JOHNSTON ARTHUR GEORGE
Filed: 1908-07-24
Granted: 1909-06-17
Abstract: 15,790. Johnston, A. G. Kent-. July 24. Rock drills.-Relates to a percussive tool having two pistons, one of which d acts as the percussive means and strikes the second piston q, which has a stem u attached to the tool through the medium of a ratchet or like device. After a blow, pressure fluid enters through the port k to return the piston q, and a spiral groove 3 and pin z cause a slight rotation. When the piston q has returned and rotated a small distance, a passage v registers with a groove w and pressure fluid flows through the passage and groove to return the hammer piston d. If the tool jambs, the piston q is prevented from returning, and, as the passage v and groove w do not then register, no fluid passes through them and reciprocation is stopped. In the position shown, pressure fluid enters the rear cylinder space through passages t, l to move the hammer piston forward, the exhaust passing through ports m, x. The piston q is thus struck and moves forward and rotates. A port o is uncovered and pressure fluid enters to act on the valve piston h and move the valve to the right, opening the passage k to the supply pipe s and opening the rear cylinder space and valve piston chamber b to exhaust through passages n, x. A port p is opened during the return stroke to reverse the valve, and the entering fluid cushions the piston and moves it on its forward stroke again. The valve is locked in either position by the entering fluid acting on the end ; the tool may thus be used in any position. The rotation of the stem u acts through the ratchet device to rotate the tool in one direction. The cylinder a is preferably in two parts and has an extension r connected to suitable feed-mechanism.
