Title: Improvements relating to apparatus for recording contours and the like
IPC: G01C7/04
Filed: 1922-03-03
Abstract: 193,684. Lyons, W. March 3, 1922. Recording clinometers.-In a road-contouring apparatus, applicable also to the recording of the vertical movements of aircraft or submarines, a record strip 0, Fig. 3, which is caused to travel at a speed proportional to that of the vehicle or craft with the centre line of the strip maintained normal to the path of the vehicle &c., is engaged by an axially-slidable roller or skid marking device e the axis of which is maintained horizontal by a pendulum Q. Fig. 1 shows the device mounted on a two-wheeled vehicle. The strip O passes from a spool upwardly in front of a plate S and over a roller J against which it is pressed by a roller K. The shaft M of the roller J is driven through a ratchet coupling L from a longitudinal shaft F driven from the rear road wheel. The spindle V of the pendulum Q is mounted in bearings in a bracket u adjustably secured by screws b in a plate c fixed to the vehicle frame, and the roller or skid e is slidably mounted on a shaft g carried by a forked extension d of the spindle. The marking of the strip may be by scratching, or through transfer paper, or by arranging the roller to run in an ink-carrying trough f. The pendulum may be damped by oil in a case T.

Abstract: 198,761. Falconer, E. A., and Webber, Ltd., M. March 6, 1922. Valves; valve-gear.-A poppet valve a which serves for both inlet and exhaust of a four-stroke engine works in conjunction with a piston valve c controlling an exhaust passage e and an inlet passage f. The valves are actuated by a doublepath cam with a spring hinge q, the piston valve being held against movement by a catch t, until. at the end of the exhaust stroke, the catch is tripped by means of a swell z on the cam, acting through the rocker n, overhead lever x, link v, and bell-crank u.

Abstract: 399,849. Transmissions with free wheels. FREE WHEELING PATENTS CORPORATION, South Bend, Indiana, U.S.A.-(Assignees of Simpson, J. M. and White, S. O. ; c/o Warner Gear Co., Muncie, Indiana, U.S.A.) March 11, 1932, No. 7333. Convention date, Oct. 17, 1931. [Classes 80 (ii) and 80 (iii).] A motor-vehicle transmission comprises a freewheel A, Fig. 1, between gearing B and a propeller shaft 32, an outer member 36 of the freewheel overhanging an inner member 38 and being at all times in contact with and centred on radial projections or shoulders 44, Fig. 3, on the latter. One-way grip rollers 42 are confined in wedge recesses in the inner clutch member 38 between the shoulders 44. Caps 47 of bronze may be fitted over the shoulders 44 and in contact with the outer clutch member 36 so as to prevent whip in the propeller shaft 32. The inner member 38 is splined on a sleeve 39, in turn splined on an extension of the driven shaft 4 of the gearing B. The clutch A may be locked to turn solid by a dog member 48 splined on the sleeve 39 and operated by a separate lever 50 which projects up through the vehicle floor. The dog member 48 is locked in or out by a U-shaped spring 51, Fig. 7, having enlarged portions 52, 53 into which alternatively a transverse pin 55 in the lever 50 snaps and is held. In the arrangement of Fig. 1, the gearing B is a three-speed gear with a double clutch 16 with synchronizing means for engaging direct drive and middle speed. When a gear 13 is slid to the right to effect reversed driving, it strikes and carries with it a distance rod 56 which abuts against the lever 50. The lever 50 is thus operated when a control lever 29 of the change gearing is moved to effect reversed driving, and the dog locking member 48 is held in engagement with the outer member 36 of the free-wheel A as long as the reverse drive is operative. The dog member 48 may be further lockable in its two positions by a split ring 60, Fig. 4, which it carries adapted to engage either of two grooves 59, 58 on the splined sleeve 39. A modification is described in which the distance rod 56, Fig. 1, is replaced by a key sliding in the shaft 4 and adapted to abut the dog member 48 directly and to be struck by the hub of the reverse sliding gear 13. In a modification, shown in Fig. 11, the inner free-wheel clutch member 38 is splined directly on the shaft 4 and adapted to be slid to the right along with the outer overhanging member 36 in order to effect locking of the freewheel by engaging dog members 83, 84. This locking is controlled by a manual shift rail (not shown), having a fork engaging a groove 87 in the member 36, and there is a distancerod like the rod 56 of Fig. 1, for locking the free-wheel when the reverse gear 13 is moved to position. The propeller shaft 32 is in this form centred at 75 within the shaft 4.

Abstract: 490,861. Suspender grips. PARKER, J. R., and HIGGINS, F. P. March 15, 1937, No. 7555. [Class 44] In a garment suspender of button-and-loop type designed to present a flat surface, the flexible tab 4 carries a " button " 9 of such length that, in use, it substantially fills the length of aperture 3 in the rigid loop member 1. As shown, the button is of flat formation with grooved periphery 10 adapted to engage the inner edge of the narrow portion of the loop. To render the tab and button sufficiently flexible to enable its free end to be entered in the wider part of the loop and slid down into the narrower part, it may have a groove or grooves 11, or transverse cuts oblique or normal to the surface of the button, or may be perforated. The upper end of the tab is passed round the crossbar of the loop and its free end, 6, Fig. 14, which may be thickened, inserted in a slot therein. To facilitate bending round the crossbar, the face of the tab may have grooves 7, registering with the edges of the cross-bar. A modified form of button has only lateral grooves 10, the lower end being without transverse groove. Fig. 9 shows a modification in which the upper portion of the button-receiving aperture is formed as a recess by offsetting the metal of member 1 to form a bridge-piece 17 the outer surface of which lies flush with the tab and button portions 4, 15. In all forms the upper part of the button grips the garment material against shoulders 3a formed by the junction of the wider and narrower portions of the aperture in loop 1.
