Patent GB-190520472-A (GB)
Inventor: WELCH CHARLES KINGSTON
Filed: 1905-10-10
Granted: 1906-09-20
Abstract: 20,472. Welch, C. K. Oct. 10. Tyres, pneumatic etc.; felloes or rims. -Elastic tyres are secured in position by the lateral movement of screw-threaded rings engaging with circumferential threads cut on the periphery of the felloe or rim. The tyre d, Fig. 1, is mounted between rings a, a<1> formed with threads b, b<1>, so that on rotation of the tyre and rings together the former is firmly secured in position. The threads in this case are right and left handed, but the same effect may be obtained by using similarly-threaded rings of different pitches or by means of a double thread on one side and a treble on the other. Only one ring may be screw-threaded, the other sliding round the felloe and being secured, when desired, by a radial bolt. The rings are locked by a transverse bolt e provided with a lip e' and secured by a nut e<2> and a set-screw e<3>. The rings may also be locked by radial bolts f<1>, Fig. 4, provided with conical heads f. If rings of the section shown in Fig. 10 are used, transverse bolts a' effect the locking. The devices may also be applied to twin tyres, in which case a ring is placed between the inner sides of the tyres. When segmental tyres are used, the rotation of the rings and tyre together is effected by transverse pins. Disk wheels.-Applied to a disk wheel, the rings a, a<1>, Fig. 11, are extended inwards to engage with threads cut on the hub i<2>. The screwed rings may also be used with pneumatic tyres and also with tyres adapted to use a solid or hollow core. A packing-ring interposed between the felloe and the ring prevents access of moisture to the screw surfaces.

Title: Method of and Means for Reversing the Reciprocating Parts of Machinery.
Filed: 1907-04-06
Granted: 1908-07-06
Abstract: 8067. Ateliers de Constructions MÚcaniques ci-devant Ducommun, and Luttenauer, C. April 6. Reversing-gearing; crank linkages; clutches; tappets; mounting wheels on shafts.-In a gearing for driving the reciprocating tool or work of a planing machine, rolling mill, electrically-driven machine too], &c., reversal is effected upon an intermediate slowly moving shaft by means of a double clut h member actuated through a pneumatic buffer device by spring mounted tappets upon the reciprocating part. As a further device for absorbing shocks a spring-mounted wheel is arranged in the gearing. A hand-actuating device which is not moved during the automatic reversals is also provided. The belt-driven shaft a, Fig. 4, drives the pinion d directly gearing with the toothed rack of a planing table &c., through the train e, f (or e<1>, f<1>), g, h, i, k, l, or through the reversing train n, o, i, k, l, an elastic friction clutch member r connecting one or the other of the loose pinions h, o, to the intermediate shaft l<1>. In the forward driving trains the pinions f, f<1> are loosely mounted and adapted to be clutched to the shaft by a member m operated through worm gear by a hand-wheel p. By this means, or by a stepped gear with several such members, the speed of the forward drive may be varied without affecting the speed of return. The clutch member r is operated through a bell-crank lever 4, Fig. 15, by a crank 3 upon a rock-shaft 3<a> connected through an arm 2 to a link s' and rod operated by tappets upon the reciprocating table. The crank connexion 3 comprises a ball mounted upon the crank-pin 17 and carried in a socket in a block 15 having vertical play in the arm of the bell-crank lever 4. The tappets upon the table act upon a rocking member s, Fig. 9, which operates the rod s<1> &c., through a pneumatic buffer device comprising pistons w, working in open-ended cylinders W with adjustable valves x. The shaft 5, upon which the member s is fixed, carries at its inner end, Fig. 16, a toothed sector 6 gearing with a pinion 18 to which is attached a crank 7, connected through links 19 to a spring 8, the arrangement being such that the spring 8 first retards and then, when the crank 7 passes the dead-centre, assists the reversing operation. The reversal may be independently effected by means of a hand-lever (not shown) connected to a pinion 13, Fig. 9, engaging a rack formed upon a loose sleeve z on the reversing-rod s<1>, the sleeve z being thereby moved up to one of the fixed collars l, and then moving the rod. The lost motion between the sleeve and collars allows the automatic reversals to be effected without disturbing the hand reversing-lever in its neutral position. As further means for absorbing shocks, the tappets are spring-mounted, and the transmission gear wheel k, Fig. 22, drives through leaf springs 10 pressing against pins 11 upon a disk attached to the shaft, the resilience being limited in one or both directions by adjustable studs 13.

Abstract: 24,515. Jacobsen, S. Nov. 16, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Measures of length.-Rolls of fabric are measured, without unwinding, by means of an instrument which inserts a thread between the successive folds. The length of the thread thus inserted is equal to the length of the fabric, and is indicated on a dial. The thread c to be inserted is guided by a tubular piece g, and passes round a measuring-drum f operating the indicating-hand n through suitable gearing. The drum b on which the thread is stored may be placed with the measuring-drum f in a compartment separated from the gearing by a partition perpendicular to the axes of the wheels, thus allowing a larger drum b to be used. The casing of the instrument may be made spherical, its two halves being hinged at q. The mechanism is pivotally mounted at r, s in the upper half of the casing so as to present either the dial o or a crank on the back of the drum b, for rewinding the thread. The Specification in the original form, as published under the Act of 1901, states also that the thread may be made as a measuring-tape. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.
