Granted: 1907-09-05
Abstract: 2477. Lake, H. H., [Feuerheerd, E. M.]. Jan. 31. Pulverulent-fuel fittings; mechanical stoking.- Perforated rotating drums are provided for distributing coal dust in a current of air, with which it passes to the combustion chamber. Provision is also made for feeding small coal to the furnace. As shown in Fig. 1, coal dust is fed by an elevator g to the hopper h containing an agitator i, and passes through a hit-and-miss grating k to the chamber p containing the revolving concentric and perforated drums m. Part of the coal dust is carried over and around the outer drum by air which enters through the door n and channel o, while the remainder passes through the perforations in the top and bottom of the drums before entering the cooled channel r leading to the combustion chamber. Instead of the drums being arranged concentrically, they may be arranged side by side, or as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the small drums rotate in opposite directions. The feeding-device for small coal comprises an elevator s, a hopper w, and an agitator which distributes the coal on to a regulating-slide t and through a channel u on to the grate f.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Variable Speed Epicyclic Gears
Filed: 1907-02-11
Granted: 1908-02-11
Abstract: 3414. Rudge-Whitworth, Ltd., and Pountney, F. Feb. 11. Driving-mechanism.-In a variable-speed gear, suitable for a cycle hub, the lowest speed is a direct drive, a second speed is obtained through an epicyclic train, and each additional speed is obtained by throwing in a further epicyclic train. In one form a ratchet clutch c, Fig. 1, communicates the direct drive from the driving-sleeve b to the hub. The sleeve b carries spindles d of the planet-pinions g of the first gear train. The pinions g mesh with a sun-pinion e loose on a fixed axle f and with an annulus h connected to the huh by the ratchet clutch j. The first train drives the hub through the clutch when the pinion e is held against rotation. The annulus is connected to and drives the spindles k of the planet-pinions o of the second gear train. The pinions o mesh with a loose sun-pinion m and with an annulus p secured to the hub ; or, if a fourth speed is required, the annulus is connected to the hub by a ratchet clutch and also to the spindles of the planet-pinions of a third gear train. For the third speed, the pinion m is held against rotation as well as the pinion e. The pinions e, m are connected by sleeves to rings of ratchet teeth q, s, respectively, of different lengths, and capable of being engaged in succession by a sliding spring plunger u, Fig. 1. In a modification the plunger u is replaced by a pivoted pawl v, Fig. 3. In a further modification, the teeth q, s are of equal length, as shown in Fig. 7, and the plunger u is provided with two engaging parts s<1>, q<1>, the latter being movable relatively to the former and normally held protruded beyond the former by a spring. In a second form of gear, shown in Figs. 9 and 10, the speed-variations are effected by sliding the sun-pinions longitudinally. The second speed is effected by sliding the right-hand pinion to the right until saw teeth 2, Fig. 10, engage teeth 3 on the axle f. The low speed is effected by causing both pinions to rotate together by dogs 4, 5. For the third speed the sun-pinions are locked together and to the axle f. The various combinations can be effected by a rod 6 which carries a fast cotter 7 engaging the pinion m and a loose cotter 8 engaging the pinion e. The cotters are separated by a light spring 9 and the rod 6 is thrust to the left by a strong spring 13. Sliding sun-pinion combinations as shown in Fig. 21 may also be employed.

Title: An Improved Non-skidding Device for Motor Road Vehicles.
Inventor: KING JAMES ALBERT
Filed: 1907-08-15
Granted: 1907-10-10
Abstract: 18,496. King, J. A, Aug. 15. Slipping of wheels, preventing.-To prevent side slip in motor road vehicles, a small rubber or pneumatic tyred wheel having a sharp-edged rim is mounted on a spring-controlled axle carried by two coupled spring-controlled rods beneath the vehicle so as to tilt when side-clip occurs, thereby causing one or other of its sharp edges to grip the road, means being provided for adjusting the amount of tilt and for withdrawing the device out of operation. Two vertical rods 1 slide in a bracket or brackets 3 fixed to the axle, carriage, or frame of the vehicle, or to an independent axle, and are pressed down by springs contained in the brackets, stops being provided on the rods to limit the travel if required. A wheel 7 is carried by a short axle 6 mounted in slots a at the lower ends 5 of the rods 1, and is held against lateral movement by pins b working in slots b*. This arrangement also prevents the rods from spreading. The wheel 7 has a solid rubber or pneumatic tyre 8 placed between two steel or other metal disks 9 which are normally out of contact with the ground. Each disk may be in one piece or built up in sections provided with slots or otherwise formed to permit adjustment as the tyre wears. The axle 6 tilts when side-slip commences, thus bringing one or other of the disks 9 into contact with the road, the amount of cant being adjusted by set-screws d. Springs c, which may be placed in holes bored in the screws d, normally keep the axle horizontal. The device can be raised out of operation by a rod 13 pivoted to toggle-levers 11, 12 connecting the bracket 3 to a bridge-piece 10 fixed to the rods 1, the springs c serving to prevent the wheel from rattling.

Title: Improvements relating to Ring and Traveller Spinning and Twisting Machines
Inventor: SALZMANN ARNOLD
Filed: 1907-12-06
Granted: 1908-08-27
Abstract: 26,996. Salzmann, A. Dec. 6. Lubricating; ball bearings for spinning-machinery. A ring is divided and shaped to contain lubricant, which is brought continuously and automatically through holes in the ring to the parts of its surface where friction occurs between the ring and traveller. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the ring is in two parts a, b provided with flanges /, g, respectively, which may have a ring between them and ball-bearings p, q. The lower part b is rotated by the friction of the traveller l at the points of contact t, u, and causes the upper part a to rotate by friction at the flanges f, g, but at a lower speed. The lubricant is introduced at z and is continuously caused to pass through holes o<1>, o<2> directly above the points of contact of the ring and traveller. The rail is in two parts m, n connected together, and a ring d prevents water from reaching the balls when used in wet-spinning frames. To facilitate the introduction of the lubricant, the part a may have no flange, Fig. 2, and can therefore be easily removed and a flanged ring c, which has no contact with the traveller and so rotates slower than the part a, is introduced between the parts a, b to cause the lubricant to pass through the holes o'. The part b rotates faster than the part a, and lubricant passes through the holes o<2>. The parts a, b of the ring are held at four places in the rail by spring-pressed balls p, q, and to secure the rotation of the balls and to prevent the parts a, b from rotating too fast, the part b may be provided with small bulges or the like around a part or the whole of the circumference.
