Title: Improvements in Transmission Mechanism for Motor Vehicles.
Inventor: LAKE HAROLD WILLIAMSON
Filed: 1912-07-09
Granted: 1913-04-10
Abstract: 16,066. Lake, H. W., [Parker Transmission and Appliance Co.]. July 9. Controlling-apparatus, arrangements of hand and foot gear in conjunction with; interlocking and guarding against wrong movements; indicating corr e c t adjustment of operating-mechanism.- The main clutch pedal is connected by links to a dash-pot which retards its action in one direction, and is also interlocked with the changespeed gear so that the gear cannot be changed w h i l e the clutch is engaged. Fig. 1 shows the clutch and changespeed gear-box in section, and Fig. 3 is a section on the line B-B, Fig. 1. The shaft 4 is driven through the main clutch 11 and drives the shaft 32 from which the road wheels are driven through the change-speed gear shown, the gear-wheels being always in mesh and capable of being connected to their shafts by dog clutches 38. The clutches are selectively operated by a sliding and rocking shaft 41 having arms 42, which are adapted to engage with jaws 44 on sliders 39 carrying the clutches. Each clutch is carried by an arm 40 pivoted to its slider. The main clutch is operated through a ball thrust ring 24 by a fork 22 on a rockshaft 62. This shaft is rocked by a pedal 63 through an adjustable link 68 and a threearmed lever 66 adjustably mounted on the rock shaft by a split collar 67. One arm 72 of the lever is connected to a dash-pot 71, which allows the pedal 63 to be depressed freely but retards its rising and the consequent coupling of the main clutch disks. The operating-arm 73 of the dash-pot carries a scale 83 moving under a fixed pointer 84, by which the setting of the control apparatus can be indicated when the lever 66 is adjusted to take up wear. The third arm 75 of the lever is interlocked with a change-speed gear to prevent the gears from being changed when the main clutch is engaged. The arm 75 operates a shaft 77 carrying an arm 76 having projections 80 adapted to be engaged by a roller on an arm 78 fixed to the slider of the double clutch member 38. The projections 80 prevent movement of the arm 78 until the pedal 63 is depressed and so rocks the shaft 77.

Title: Improvements in Machinery for Manufacturing Outer Covers of Pneumatic Tyres and like Articles.
IPC: B29D30/16
Filed: 1912-08-20
Granted: 1913-11-20
Abstract: 19,034. Dew, J. W. H., and Bridge & Co., D. Aug. 20. Cores, covering by winding.-In a machine for manufacturing the outer covers of pneumatic tyres and like articles, of the type in which a fixed gapped frame is employed to support a rotatable gapped ring carrying reels of narrow fabric which is wound round a core or mandrel passing through the centre of the gapped frame, the mandrel c, Fig. 1, on which the cover s' is to be wound is supported by pulleys w made in halves, the upper one being controlled by a spring y. The pulleys w are driven positively by their shafts 2 and drive the mandrel c frictionally. The mandrel is also rotated positively by wheels r carrying teeth s adapted to pierce the strip of material being wound upon the mandrel and to engage holes in a ring t on the mandrel. The wheel r is secured to its boss q by a set-screw v and can rise on the squared end of its shaft o as the core grows. By releasing the set-screw and removing the boss q, the wheel v can be moved laterally to disengage it from the cover. The shafts o are driven by worm and bevel gearing from the main shaft g of the machine. A suitable cutter may be used to sever the material when wound or when partially wound upon the core, so that the severed edges may be turned back to form the beaded edges of the tyre. The reels carrying the material are controlled by adjustable brake bands and are mounted upon gapped rings 11 supported in gapped frames 9. The rings 11 are driven by gearing 14, external to the ring, comprising a duplicate drive from a shaft 15, which is driven by bevel-gearing from the shaft g.

Granted: 1913-05-29
Abstract: 22,101. Heath, S. Sept. 28. Screw propellers.-Relates to laminated propeller blades, and consists in using layers common to two blades which form unlike parts, and in making each layer of screw formation. The major part of each blade is formed of the parts 3, 5 of two layers 1, 2 bent as shown in Fig. 3 so as to embrace a hub portion 7, the smaller parts 4, 6 strengthening each blade at its root as shown in Fig. 4. In order to form a larger boss, fillers 9 are inserted between the layers 1, 2, and fillers 8 are also placed between the hub core 7 and the layer 1 as indicated in Fig. 7. End metal plates 11 are secured to the hub to strengthen it. Three- or four-bladed propellers are produced by using adjacent' pairs of blades taken in cyclic order. The inner layer 2 may be of material, such as silver spruce, lighter than the outer layer, which has to stand rougher usage and is of white oak. A transverse reinforcing fibrous material such as linen strips 20 may be inserted between the layers and cemented thereto under tension, and bands of veneer 21 may also be inserted in slots at the tip of the blade as indicated in Fig. 13. When made of metal, the layers are riveted together. or welded at the edges, leaving the inner surfaces in contact or separated to form a hollow blade. Specification 18,578/09 is referred to.

Roller-and-ring mills. -In a mill in which a grinding-ring a, Figs. 1 and 2, is carried and driven by inner grinding-rolls c, the rolls are supported by plate springs e arranged at right-angles to the axes of the rolls, and each spring may be pivoted at one end f to the end wall d of the casing b while the other end g is capable of displacement by means of eccentrics &c. so as to tension the spring. The end g of one spring may be laid over the end f of the next spring, with an intermediate member i, so that two springs can be tensioned simultaneously. If the springs are suspended at both ends, simultaneous tension is given by mounting the corresponding ends of the springs in a common member.
