Patent GB-190321274-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Free Pedals for Motor Cycles and the like.
Inventor: YOUNG BERNARD STUART
Filed: 1903-10-03
Granted: 1904-08-25
Abstract: 21,274. Young, B. S. Oct. 3. Cranks; driving- mechanism. - Relates to cranks for bicycles, motor cycles, and the like, and provides means whereby both cranks may be brought to the same level in free-wheeling. One crank is rigidly connected with the crank axle ; the other crank 3 is loose thereon and has a flanged ring 7 closely fitting a disc 4 secured to the axle. In forward pedalling, a nipple 14 on the disc serves as an abutment for a nose 9 of the flanged ring. To bring the pedals to the same level when free-wheeling, the movable crank is moved back to the desired position ; in this movement, a coiled spring 8 secured to the boss of the disc and to the ring, is wound up, and the nose is brought into engagement with a nipple 18. At the same time, a catch 10, which is pivoted to the flanged ring and to an arm 11 of a ring surrounding an eccentric 13 fixed to the disc, is rotated around the eccentric, or the eccentric is rotated within the ring, so that the catch is caused to project beyond the flanged ring and is brought to rest upon an elastic abutment 16 on the frame. On releasing the pedals, the movable crank is returned to operative position by the spring, and the catch, brought round to the position shown in Fig. 2, now freely passes the abutment. The flanged ring and the disc are further coupled by a spring 19 and pin 20.

Title: Improved Appliance for Forward Drying of Bricks & the like in Continuous Downdraught Kilns
Inventor: WHITTINGTON JOHN HENRY
Filed: 1903-10-21
Granted: 1904-10-21
Abstract: 22,725. Whittington, J. H. Oct. 21. Kilns. - Relates to a portable fireplace or appliance to be applied at the top of a continuous downdraught kiln for drying bricks and like goods therein, one of the principal objects being to prevent ashes from the fire passing into the kiln. Figs. 1 and 3 show the appliance in vertical and horizontal section respectively, and Fig. 4 illustrates the manner of applying it to a kiln. The appliance consists of two chambers A, B which are connected by a passage C, and the grate M is arranged near the bottom of the chamber A. When in use the chamber B is arranged above a feed hole of the kiln, so that, when the damper of the kiln is opened to induce a draught, air for combustion passes up through the grate M, which is fed with fuel through an opening in the top, and passes with the products of combustion into the chamber B, as shown by the arrows, and thence to the kiln. A similar appliance is provided for each feed hole, as shown in Fig. 4.

Title: Improvements in Frictional Driving Gears.
Inventor: HAGEN RUDOLF
Filed: 1904-05-11
Granted: 1905-04-27
Abstract: 10,892. Hagan, R. May 11. Motor cycles driving-mechanism.-A driving and reversing gearing for motor road vehicles &c. is stated, in the Provisional Specification, to be applicable to motor bicycles, luggage-carrying tricycles, and so forth. Two parallel shafts C, provided with universal joints W, are driven from the motor A and rotated in opposite directions by means of toothed or friction wheels B, B<1>, mounted in a frame B<2>. On the shaft C, friction wheels D, D', capable of sliding longitudinally, are provided with leather or like friction surfaces, adapted to be pressed against the disc E, upon each side of which they rotate. In thus driving the disc E, the friction discs D, D<1> may be slid along their shafts to act at various distances from the centre of the disc. To obtain a reverse movement, the friction wheels may be pushed by suitable means away from the centre and against outer discs K. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which the outer discs K are removed and a wheel l with bevelled sides, mounted as a pendulum, serves as an intermediate wheel to obtain a reverse, bevelwheels being moved along the shafts c to engage frictionally the conical sides of the suspended wheel l, which is thus pushed against the disc e, the friction discs d being withdrawn from engagement with the disc e. In the above-mentioned applications, the motor is placed transversely to the direction of travel in such a way that the two parallel shafts which are placed on opposite sides of the driving-wheel formed as a friction disc actuate this latter through the leather-covered friction wheels.

Granted: 1905-02-09
Abstract: 17,372. Jones, H. Sefton-, [Hering, M.]. Aug. 9. Thermostats.-Relates to apparatus for maintaining a constant temperature in an enclosed space, such as an incubator. The apparatus is controlled by a thermometer placed in the enclosed space. The burner 6, which heats the incubator or other apparatus, is supplied with gas through the pipes 2, 3, 3<a>. In the pipes 3, 3<a> are valves 10, 11 connected respectively, by means of the rods shown, to the armatures of the electromagnets 18, 19. One of the terminals of the electromagnets, which are connected together, communicates with the battery 21, and the other two are connected to platinum wires placed in the thermometer at the points indicating the highest and lowest temperatures allowable. A Six's thermometer is shown in the Figure, but any other thermometer may be used. The pipe 2 serves only to supply a small ignition flame. When the temperature falls, a current passes round the electromagnet 19, and the armature 15 opens the valve 11. In a similar manner, when the temperature rises, the arm&ture 14 closes the valve 10.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Lathes and in Milling Attachments therefor.
Inventor: STRIEGLER ERNST LOUIS
Filed: 1905-08-28
Granted: 1906-05-24
Abstract: 17,397. Striegler, E. L. Aug. 28. Lathes; milling; screwing.-The traverse of the saddle of a lathe, which is fitted with a milling- attachment, is obtained by the use of a. screw fixed in the bed so that it may be given a partial rotation on becoming worn, with which gears a revolving screw, mounted in the saddle and driven from the feed-shaft. A spur-wheel a on the headstock b gears with a wheel on a short shaft d, which projects from the end of the bed and carries a bevel-wheel f. The latter engages two bevel pinions, one of which drives the shaft t through gearing and thence through a reversing-crown drives the feed-shaft m of the lathe, the other driving through gearing the milling-shaft 40, Figs. 2 and 3. The saddle has two cross-shafts 11, 12, one or the other of which is driven from the feed-shaft m by bevel-wheels, one of which is shown at 7, Fig. 5, arranged back to back within a bracket on the back apron 9. A worm on the shaft 11 drives a screw 18 mounted in a bracket between the shafts, the screw engaging a fixed screw 22, Figs. 1 and 5, a lever 82 serving to put it in and out of engagement. On the fixed screw 22 becoming worn, the nut 23 is loosened and the screw is given a partial rotation, thus presenting a fresh surface. The screw 28 of the saddle slide is driven through gearing from the shaft 12. If both traversing and surfacing motions are required for angular work, the two cross-shafts may be connected by gearing 30, 32, Figs. 1 and 2, which may be driven in either direction by a reversing-crown, the shaft 33 communicating with the cross-shaft 12 by gearing (not shown). The saddle may be moved along the bed as usual by hand. The milling-shaft 40, which may be driven independently by the cone pulleys 42, drives a third cross-shaft 49, Fig. 1, through a box train, part of which is shown at 47, Fig. 5. The milling-attachment, Fig. 10, is fitted in a recess 53 in the saddle slide 29, and is driven from the shaft 49 by bevel-gears 45, 54, 57, &c., the milling-cutter being mounted on the shaft 61 between the members of the fork 60, and tho latter being fixed in any angular position by the nut 59. Other forms of similar milling- attachments are described.
