Title: Improvements in or relating to Differential Gear and the Mounting thereof in Motor Vehicles.
Inventor: STRICKLAND FREDERIC
Filed: 1905-11-01
Granted: 1906-07-12
Abstract: 22,352. Strickland, F. Nov. 1. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to the construction and mounting of differential gear such as that described in Specification No. 8582, A.D. 1902, the object being to facilitate dismantling when remedying defects without removal of the wheel driving-axles. The outer casing a, Figs. 1 and 2, is formed with bearings a<1> for the inner ends of the wheel axles a<2>, and is provided with a removable cover b. The differential gear is mounted within a cage c, which is split longitudinally in regard to the axles a2, and provided with sleeves or extensions c<1>, which hold the gear centrally in the casing, and prevent end long movement of the axles. The two parts of the cage c are held together by means of the spindles d upon which the differential pinions are mounted, the spindles being formed upon a ring d<3> loosely mounted upon the nuts d<4> which hold the bevel-wheels in position on the ends of the axles a<2>. The parts of the cage are also held together by the toothed ring f, bolted to a seating e and driven from the pinion g. When dismantling, the cover b is removed, the toothed ring f unfastened, and the two halves of the cage c detached and removed. The axles a' can then be pushed apart, and the remaining parts taken down.

Title: Improvements in Bolt-action Rifles
Filed: 1906-04-23
Granted: 1907-01-24
Abstract: 9437. Birmingham Small Arms Co., Driver, A. H. M., and Norman, G. April_23. B r e e c h actions, sliding breech-block. -Relates to boltaction rifles adapted for use with miniature cartridges, the cartridges being introduced into the chamber by the closing of the bolt instead of being inserted by hand. The body of the bolt is of ordinary dimensions, but the bolt head is made of smaller diameter and is adapted to work within a groove, which is arranged in line with the breech-chamber and serves as a guide for the cartridges. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section with the breech open showing the bolt head in elevation. Fig. 9 is a cross-section upon the line x<4>, Fig. 2. The bolt head f, working without rotation in the groove g', is connected to the body a of the bolt in such a manner, e.g. by a screw, that, when the face a<3> of the body a of the bolt butts against the shoulder g<3> at the end of the groove g<2>, the bolt head does not reach the cartridge base, but is advanced to close the breech completely when the bolt is rotated for locking. The forward end of the firing-pin protrudes through an eccentric hole in the bolt head and is connected at its rear end with the striker c, the cocking-piece d being guided by extensions or ribs d', d' sliding in grooves g<4>, g<5> in the top and bottom of the rear end of the action body g, shown in Fig. 2 and in cross-section in Fig. 8. A safety device carried by the upper rib d' consists of a half-round pin k with a lever k<3> by which the pin k may be turned, so that the solid part blocks the striker from going forward. The rear end of the bolt may be provided with a small recess in which the pin k engages when turned to block the striker, so that the bolt is locked to the non-rotatable striker and cannot be unlocked. The inner face of the cocking-piece is formed with a V-shaped recess j, which is engaged by correspond. ing projections j<1> on the back of the bolt, so that the pressure of the striker spring offers a resistance to the accidental turning of the bolt.

Granted: 1907-04-11
Abstract: 14,510. Dodson, C. June 25. Bodies. - Comprises various methods of securing the bodies of motor omnibuses or like vehicles to the chassis, including means for preventing both vertical and horizontal displacement of the body relatively to the chassis. As shown in Fig. 1, projections or blocks a on the underside of the car body engage the inner peripheries of the outer frame members and prevent relative horizontal movement of the body and chassis, while vertical displacement is prevented by hooked bolts c which engage the underside of the frame members and the side-supporting angle-irons d. In a modified form, the blocks engage the outer sides of the periphery of the frame members. Fig. 8 shows a modified form of device in which short bars g engage the underside of the frame members and are bolted at either end to the car body. In modified forms, the bars may extend the whole width of the vehicle, and, in some cases, may have hooks at either end engaging eye-bolts forming a connexion with the car body as before. A short bar with a central bolt may be placed across the angle at the underside of each corner of the frame, the bolts being passed through the floor of the car.

Granted: 1908-06-12
Abstract: 13,576. Smith, A. June 12. Driving-mechanism. -Relates to that type of hydraulic transmission of power mechanism in which the hollow fly-wheel on the driving-shaft carries two cylinders wherein reciprocate pistons connected by suitable gearing with the driven shaft, and consists in placing a divisional partition in the fly-wheel between the outer extremities of the pistons, the two spaces being connected by one or two valves. When two valves are used, one can be made to act as a release clutch and the other as a speed or gear regulator. The hollow fiy-wheel a on the shaft b is divided into two parts by the plate h, in which are situated valves l, j. Working m cylinders g on the fly-wheel are plungers f, on the ends of which are rollers e contracting with the eccentric d on the transmission shaft c. The eccentric chamber is filled with oil and the hollow fly-wheel with glycerine and water or other suitable fluid. Levers k, r operate the valves i, j through sliding collars l, r<1> on the shaft c and systems of levers as shown in Fig. 2. Caps y are provided in the fly-wheel in order that access to the interior may be obtained. With the valves i, j closed, no flow of liquid occurs and full drive is obtained. With one or both full open, the speed of the shaft c is zero. Any intermediate speed is obtained by suitably regulating the extent to which the valves are open.

Granted: 1908-04-23
Abstract: 15,171. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. July 1. Water paints. - Transformer laminations and other conducting parts employed in electric apparatus are insulated by a coating of organic gum in colloidal suspension applied by spraying, dipping, or by means of rollers, the excess being allowed to drain off and the coating stoved in an oven at 100-200‹ C. Copal gum is suitable. The liquid is prepared by grinding copal chips in water in a ball mill, eliminating air bubbles by precipitating the gum by the addition of small amounts of such salts as barium hydrate or chloride, or aluminium chloride, allowing the liquid to settle, and then stirring so as to mix the gum again. The gum may be retained in suspension by the addition of a small quantity of sodium hydrate.

Abstract: 20,986. Bell, J. D. Sept. 21. Gas and like engines, igniting in. A magneto, chiefly for use in igniting in internal-combustion engines, is so coupled to the engine that, at starting, the armature can be independently rotated against a spring and then allowed to fly back under the action of the spring so as to generate a sufficient current to fire the charge. The magneto s h a f t A has cut on it a quick pitch thread on which runs a not B having a hollow squared portion C which slides on a corresponding squared block D formed on the driving-shaft E. The disk G is mounted, by means of the ball bearings H, J, between the flange F and the lock-nuts K, and carries the rods L sliding in the tubes M which contain the springs N. At starting, the disk G is moved by a lever or other suitable means so as to compress the springs N, and then released under their action so as to cause the armature to rotate rapidly and so fire the charge. To alter the timing of the spark, the tubes M are moved axially, carrying with them the rods, disks, and nut, and so causing the shaft A to lag or lead with respect to the shaft E.
