Title: Improvements in connection with Transmission Gearing for Motor Vehicles.
IPC: F16H61/02
Filed: 1910-05-07
Granted: 1911-02-02
Abstract: 11,321. Albion Motor Car Co., and Murray, T. B. May 7. Controlling variable-speed gearing.-Operating-means for variable - speed and reversing gearing, of the type having slidable gear-wheels or slidable clutches, comprises a crank-shaft V with two cranks S, T mutually inclined at an angle of substantially sixty degrees. In the form of gearing described, a driving-pinion F can be slid directly into mesh with the wheel G, for forward driving, as shown in Fig. 3. Slotted members P, R sliding on guide-rods M, N carry striking-forks for operating respectively the pinion F and a pair of idlers C, D, which are adapted to be interposed between the gears F, G for reversed driving. In the neutral position, Fig. 2, the crank S is vertically over the crank T. When the shaft V is turned through a right angle to the left into the configuration of Fig. 3, the crank S moves to the left so as to operate the member P, the crank T not having moved enough to operate the member R. When the shaft V is turned through a right angle to the right from the configuration of Fig. 2, the crank T moves to the left so as to operate the member R, the crank S not having moved enough to operate the member P.

Abstract: 11,434. Preston, A. M. Jan. 6, [Convention date]. Mechanical toys. -R e l a t e s to a dancing doll with loosely jointed legs and a box - like stand containing a resilientlymounted support for the doll, and a resilient deflecting-device for operating t h e support, t h e whole device being adapted to be disassembled and packed in the stand for transport. In order to reduce weight, the body of the doll consists of a wire frame which is covered by the doll's clothes. Part of the wire frame 9 of the doll projects rearwards and is connected to a wire 26 formed with eyelets 23, 27, through which are passed elastic supports 24, 28 terminating in loops engaging the frame of the box 12. Normally, the doll rests upon a sounding platform 33. It is caused to dance by vibrating the frame, alternately depressing and raising the support 28. This is effected by means of a finger-lever 43 elastically supported at 41 and adapted to operate a rod 34 suspended from elastics 35, 36. A projection 45 on this rod engages the eyelet 27.

Stuffing-boxes, substitutes for.-The propeller shafts y, z of torpedoes are formed with collars a, b, which are normally pressed against conical seats 3, 4 by a valve 7 and a spring 6 so as to exclude water. When the engines are started, air pressure, supplied through an orifice 11 to the rear of a piston 9, opens the valve 7, orifices 12 allowing air in front of the piston to escape.

Granted: 1912-06-17
Abstract: 6754. Lelarge, H. A. A. J. March 19, 1910, [Convention date]. Steering and balancing; planes, arrangement of.-The planes of an aerial machine are so interconnected that a variation of pressure at anv part of the machine is distributed uniformly to the whole supporting-surface. Thus, if the tip of one wing rises, the angle of incidence of that wing is diminished, and at the same time the other wing tip is lowered and its angle of incidence is increased. The various connexions may be operated manually. Figs. 1, 2, and 3 show three methods of connecting the main planes so as to produce the required movements. The planes are pivoted about transverse axes 1-2, 1<1>-2<1>, which are connected to longitudinal axes x x, x<1> x<1>. The centre of pressure of each wing is situated behind the axis 1-2 of the wing. The points 1, 1<1> of the wings, Fig. 1, are connected by a cable, and other cables pass from the tips to the rear edges at 3, 3<1>. As shown in Fig. 2, levers 6-7, 6<1>-7<1> are fixed to the wings and connected by a cable 7-7<1>. The lower end of each lever is also connected to the rear of the wings at 3, 3<1>. As shown in Fig. 3, a lever is pivoted at 8 to the machine and is connected to the cable 7, 7' and to a cable connecting the rear edges of the wings at 3, 3<1>. Fig. 5 shows an arrangement for effecting the desired movements in which the wings are universallv-jointed at 11, 11<1> to the machine and have depending levers 11-13, 11<1>-13<1> fixed to them. The rear parts of the planes are guided in arcuate slots 31. The levers 11-13, 11<1>-13<1> move in guides 13-14, 13<1>-14 when the planes are struck by squalls and the movement of one wing is transmitted to the other through a cable 34. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the following matter. The pulley 15, Fig. 5, is connected to a pulley 19, Fig. 6 (Cancelled), by a cable connected to a tail plane C. The pulley 19 is connected, through an elastic device E, to a fixed point of the machine. When, in any of the forms described, the two planes move up or down together, the tail plane is operated. Fig. 9 (Cancelled) shows a connexion between the vertical rudder F and the main planes. Levers 25<1>-26<1>, 25-26 are secured to the main planes and connected as shown to the rudder, which is brought over to the side of the machine at which the main plane has the smaller angle of inclination. In a further modification, the planes are connected by two links fixed at rightangles to the front edge of the planes, these links being connected by a cross link so that opposite movements of the planes take place as in the other forms described. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 23,347/08.

Granted: 1911-07-13
Abstract: 12,921. Allgemeine Elektricitats-Ges. May 27, 1910, [Convention date]. Dynamos and motors combined for transmitting power. -In a system where the dynamo and motor terminals are directly connected, an automatic regulator is controlled by a relay influenced by two excitations, of which one is proportional to the actual speed of the motor and the other to the nominal speed dependent on the position of the controller lever. The motor m is supplied from a generator a, the field f of which is connected with the resistances w, r across the busbars by the lever h, which is then moved to cut out the resistance w. The resistance r is varied by a motor g, the direction of rotation of which is controlled bv a contact-device d with two actuating-windings c, c<1>. The circuit of the winding c includes the part of the resistance w inserted in the motor circuit, so that its current depends upon the position of the control lever h. The winding c<1> is connected across the motor armature, and its current is therefore dependent on the motor speed. Normally, the pivoted arm b rests half-way between the contacts K, k<1>; but, when the excitation of one of the coils c, c<1> exceeds that of the other, the arm b closes the actuating-circuit of a relay i or i<1> in the circuit of the motor g. The motor then rotates to put in or cut out the resistance r.

Abstract: 5620. Vicars, T., Vicars, J., and Vicars, E. L. March 6. Coating bakers' and confectioners' goods.- Icing-machines, of the kind in which an endless band conveys the icing, are provided with means for varying the speed of the machine and the quantity of icing deposited on the biscuits as desired. An endless band a passes over rollers c, d, f, and c, of which the roller c is located within the icing-trough. The roller d is driven through a pulley i operated from coned pulleys and belts, ratchet gearing, or any variablespeed device. The roller e is mounted on pivoted arms m which admit of angular adjustment on the shaft n for tensioning the belt. The biscuits are carried on a travelling belt p mounted on rollers q, r, the roller q being driven from a pulley s by any variable-speed device. The carrier band may be raised or lowered by a screw-operated table u, or the roller q may be adjusted vertically by a screw. A gauge h regulates the thickness of the ice coating, and a scraper g removes any icing from the under side of the belt. If the carrier band is driven at a low speed and the icing-band at a quick speed in the direction of the arrows, a thick coating is deposited; if the band p is driven quickly, and the band a slowly, a thin coating is deposited. When several rows of biscuits are carried, the gauge may be of the shape in Fig. 3 to scrape off the icing between the rows.
