Title: An Improved Spring Motor Wheel for Bicycles, Tricycles and other Light Road Vehicles.
Inventor: DICK HENRY PAGE
Filed: 1903-08-05
Granted: 1904-06-09
Abstract: 17,041. Dick, Sir H. P., and Lucas, M. Aug. 5. Wheels with motors or means for aiding propulsion in cycles and light road vehicles. The drum d, supported by the wheel spokes so as to rotate about the axle f, carries one end of the spring k, the other end of which engages the catch i mounted directly on the axle, or on a sleeve h turned by the axle. By rotating the axle by hand, foot, or other power, the spring is wound up by suitable gearing until sufficient energy is stored to rotate the wheel and so propel the vehicle, the motion being maintained by winding the spring intermittently. A long slope on the catch i enables the wheel and spring to overrun it on a downhill journey.

Granted: 1906-02-08
Abstract: 10,195. Imray, O., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning]. May 15. Dyeing.-To obtain shaded colour effects, in which the colours or shades merge, upon fabrics, paper, or warps, the fabric &c. is passed between the well-wrapped roller of a padding-machine and a pressure roller, the colour or colours being applied by endless bands or otherwise to the wrapped roller. The colour, having spread over the surface of the wrapped roller, is transferred in uninterrupted graduation, any excess being squeezed out and returned to the roller. Instead of one or more colours a mordant or mordants may be applied and the fabric subsequently dyed. The endless bands, such as strips of felt, are distributed in large numbers over the whole breadth of the machine, and convey the colour to the wrapped roller from a series of vessels below by rubbing against it. Or the colour may be fed by a subdivided roller, or series of small rollers on the same shaft, revolving in a subdivided trough containing in each compartment one of the colour or mordant solutions. These rollers are covered with absorbent material like felt and press lightly against the wrapped roller.

Title: Improvements in Variable Speed Gear for Motor Driven Vehicles & the like.
Inventor: WRIGHT WILLIAM
Filed: 1905-12-14
Granted: 1906-12-14
Abstract: 26,001. Wright, W. Dec. 14.. Eccentrics.-Relates to variable-speed gearing of the type in which eccentrics operate through links and ratchet or like mechanism, the eccentrics being varied in throw by a plunger and links. The driving-shaft A has flanges B and plates C, between which rings E forming the eccentrics may slide. Each ring E is connected to the plunger K by a link L pivoted to a block M sliding in grooves in the ring. Eccentric-straps D communicate the motion through links F in the usual way. The invention consists in the mode of actuating the plunger K. A toothed pinion H, meshing with a rack G, is formed internally as a nut screwing upon a sleeve J upon the plunger K. The plunger K rotates with the shaft A, but the sleeve J is kept from rotating, so that the rack G is able to traverse the plunger K longitudinally.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Photographic Change Boxes and Cameras.
Inventor: THORNTON JOHN EDWARD
Filed: 1906-05-23
Granted: 1907-05-23
Abstract: 12,004. Thornton, J. E. May 23. Change-boxes; film packs. - Various modified constructions of change-boxes, intended to be filled or emptied of films in the dark-room, are described the change-boxes being either detached or form-' ing an integral part of a camera. In Fig. 2, the front flange d<1> is shown formed with grooves to fit into the camera and provided with a shutter C and a sheet c of plate-glass. The back may be a door hinged to the frame and held closed by clips or the like. The interior of the change-box is divided into two compartments by a spring-pressure pad E, preferably formed of two pieces of sheet aluminium which are bent at their bottom edges to form a rounded nose and are stiffened by ribs or the like. The pressure plates are attached by pivoted links e<1> to a central rod F having a spiral spring and knob at its outer end, and flexible springs e<2> are placed between the plates, so that, by adjustment of the rod F, the pressure on the films may be suitably regulated. The top of the change-box is closed by a block formed of two parts G, G<1> rabbeted into one another, and forced apart by a spring g or springs. Light valves H, H<1> are formed by the faces h, h<1> of the blocks G, G<1>, which are plush - covered and bear against the interior surfaces h<2>, h<3> of the back d<2> and the front flange d<1>, which have a similar covering of plush. In modifications, a loose board is used as a division plate, the pressure being applied at the back by a device similar to that shown in Fig. 2, or the rod F' and toggle-links may be dispensed with, the films being clipped to the expanding division plate, and a light valve formed of a plush-covered leaf spring being used. A spring hinged cover may be used to protect the protruding ends of the pull-tabs, and the inside of the cover may be provided with a curved, plush-covered block to prevent the films from being scratched, or an endless band carried by small pulleys may be substituted. For cameras that are only intended to take very thin dark slides or plate holders, a modified change-box is constructed entirely of metal, and the division plate is formed of carboard secured at its ends by linen, a slotted plate being threaded over the protruding ends of the tabs. Fig. 10 shows a portion of a camera adapted for use with tabbed films and provided with a' division plate E mounted on long elastic springs e. Modifications of this apparatus and in the light valve used are described, and also in the construction of the tab and the method of attaching the film thereto. The change-boxes may be used with films mounted in a pleated strip instead of with tabbed films, the strip being suitably corrugated. Tabbed coloured filters may also be used which may be attached to the film or may work independently. Specifications No. 4955, A.D. 1898, No. 29,631, A.D. 1904, and Nos. 11,033, 12,003, and 11,346, A.D. 1906, are referred to.
