Inventor: BROWN HARVEY EZRA
Filed: 1905-06-22
Granted: 1906-06-22
Abstract: 12,935. Brown, H. E. June 22. Brakes.-A device for automatically taking up wear and slack in the brake mechanism and for equalizing the pressures when the brakes at the two ends of a vehicle are operated from the same cylinder is shown in Fig. 1. The pull-rods a, connected to the blocks, screw into long nuts b, which are connected by pivoted bell-crank levers h, to the forked ends of the lever e on the cross-shaft f. An equalizing-lever g straddles the shaft f and is pivoted to the free arms of the bellcrank levers h. Pawls d are pivoted in the ends of the equalizing-lever g, and, when the angle between the pull-rods and the lever e is reduced as the brakes are applied, ratchet-wheels c on the nuts b are moved across the pawls When a certain amount of wear has taken place, one of the ratchets will be rotated by its pawl and thus shorten the corresponding pull-rod, and, on the next application of the brakes, the equalizing-lever g will be moved so as to cause the other ratchet to be actuated to shorten its rod. When the brake sets at the ends of a vehicle are independent of one another, the device may be simplified as shown in Fig. 3, the pawl d being carried on a lever e on the cross-shaft f, or on a horizontal beam, and kept in contact with the ratchet-wheel c by a coiled spring.

Title: Improvements in Variable-speed Driving Mechanism for Cycles and Mechanically-propelled Vehicles
Filed: 1905-08-02
Granted: 1906-05-17
Abstract: 15,795. Birmingham Small Arms Co., and Goblet, J. L. J. Aug. 2. Variable-speed gearing ; clutches.-In a three-speed hub gear for cycles, the elements of an epicycle train, so connected as to be capable of independent rotation, are arranged to slide bodily within the hub to gear with clutch members or teeth upon the driving- sleeve, the hub, and a fixed element. The planet pinions 14 are of the stepped or compound type, and, for the high speed, the carrier 16, sun pinion 18, and internally-toothed ring 17 are moved to the extreme right, so that teeth 20 engage teeth 21 in the hub, teeth 26 upon the carrier mesh with teeth 25 upon the sleeve 11, and teeth 40 upon the sun pinion engage internal teeth 37 in an anchored sleeve 27. The hub is thus driven through the carrier, the planet pinions, and the internally-toothed ring. By sliding the parts into the position shown in Fig. 2, the teeth 25 are brought into mesh with both the teeth 26 and teeth 24 in the gear-ring carrier 19 ; the teeth 20 still engage the teeth 21, while the teeth 40 are entirely free. The hub is then driven direct at the intermediate or normal speed. To obtain the lowspeed drive, the train is moved still farther to the left, so that pawls 43 upon the carrier 16 are brought into complete engagement with ratchet teeth 42 in the hub, and the teeth 40, 38 and 24, 25 are also brought into gear. The sun pinion is thus again held stationary, and the hub is driven through the internally-toothed ring, the planet pinions, and the carrier. As shown more particularly in Figs. 10 and 15, the connexion between the parts of the train comprises a piece 44, which, mounted on the spindle, has lugs 46, 47 to engage grooves 48, 51 in the sun pinion and gear-ring carrier respectively, the shank 49 passing through a gap 50 in the right-hand plate of the carrier 16. For changing the gear, a wormed striking-rod 64 engages the external teeth of a nut 62 working upon a non-rotatable bifurcated piece 56 provided with a notch 54 to engage the sun pinion. The piece 56 moves within the slots of a guide keyed to the sleeve 27, which is provided with recesses engaged by studs or pegs 32 upon the inner face of a stationary casing 33. To facilitate the changing of the gear, the pawl-and.ratchet connexion 42, 43 may be replaced by straight clutch teeth, which, together with the teeth of the other positive clutches, are so chamfered, bevelled, or cut with cam-shaped ends as to guide the parts into engagement, while the teeth of the rings 41, 22 are arranged in alinement, the teeth 20 are disposed in the plane of certain of the teeth 24, and the teeth at the left-hand end of the pinion carrier are cut in the plane of certain of the teeth 26, so that as the gear is changed, the teeth 24, 26 are positioned with respect to the teeth upon the driving-sleeve. According to the Provisional Specification, with a hollow spindle, a cable or the like connected to a sliding cross-piece may be used to change the gear.

Granted: 1906-02-08
Abstract: 20,299. Imperial Tobacco Co. (of Great Britain & Ireland), and Drysdale, H. Oct. 7. Toothed gearing ; cranks.-In a press for printing, embossing, &c., Fig. 4, the type formes, disks, &c. are carried on two beds 4<a>, 4<b>, on a rocking head 4, mounted on trunnions 3 in a stationary crosshead 2. The formes 4<a>, 4<b>, with their corresponding platens a<1>, a<2>, are alternately moved into the operative position. In order to control the motion of the head 4, pneumatic cushioning cylinders 69, provided with air-inlet valves 72, and pressureregulating valves 73 are provided. The pistons 70 are formed with enlarged heads to prevent them from dropping out of the cylinders, and are provided with cup-leathers. The pistons are furnished with rollers 71 which engage projections on the head 4. The rocking head is balanced by means of a tipping weight 25, Fig. 3, mounted on trunnions 26 in bearings on a base-plate 24. The weight is connected by a crank-pin and connecting-rod 27 to a crank secured on the trunnions 3. Stops 30 with rubber cushions limit the motion of the balanceweight 25. The head 4 is rocked by means of an intermittently-operated shaft 10. This shaft carries a segmental gear-wheel 12, Fig. 12, which gears with an equal segmental wheel 11 on the shaft 13, so that the wheel 12 makes half a revolution and then remains at rest while the shaft 13 revolves through half a revolution. The wheels 11, 12 are provided with cams 57, 56 to lock the wheel 12 during half a revolution of the wheel 11, and to facilitate restarting the wheel 12. Fig. 20 shows the construction of the crank 5 by means of which the head 4 is rocked. The arm 5 is loosely mounted on the trunnion 3 and held between springs b in recesses in a carrier 7 rigidly secured to the trunnion. The compression of the springs may be adjusted by screw studs a. The connecting-rod is forked and secured to a sliding block d adjustable in the slot by a screw e. The crank 19, Fig. 25, which operates the connecting-rod to move the rocking- head 4, is loosely mounted on the shaft 18 and held between two screws g in lugs on the block 21, fast on the shaft. The crank 19 and block 21 are secured together by a bolt f.
Patent GB-190524335-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Calculating Machines.
Inventor: TRINKS FRANZ
Filed: 1905-11-24
Granted: 1906-05-17
Abstract: 24,335. Trinks, F. Nov. 24. Calculating-apparatus; counting-apparatus. - In adding and like machines in which the totalizing counter is contained in a carriage laterally movable by hand to allow of actuation at desired denominations, the counter spindle is carried on pivoted links and swung out of gear with the setting- elements before lateral displacement, the zeroizing mechanism being subsequently unlocked ; various locking-means are provided for preventing actuation in any but the correct positions and the movement of any transfer wheels with which the counter is not in gear. In the construction shown, each digit has its own setting-lever 1<a>, Fig. 1, which must be given a full stroke ; actuation is effected through the master setting-wheel 7 and an intermediate wheel upon the shaft 10, which also carries the transfer wheels for engaging with the usual single teeth, and is mounted in the fixed casing. When the lever 16 is depressed, the counter spindle 12 is swung forwards about the shaft 15 to disengage the numeral wheels and their pinions from. the transfer wheels,-and immediately a numeral wheel passes to the right of the setting- wheel, it becomes locked by its spring pawl 17, the tail of which is released by the recessed end 21 of the bottom plate, Fig. 8. The zeroizing mechanism is of the type in which the longitudinal movement and rotation of the counter spindle, necessary to bring pins thereon into engagement with pins on the numeral wheels, is produced by the handle 22, Fig. 8, but the fixed stop 29, Fig. 1, of the carriage prevents the longitudinal movement unless the counter has first been swung into the disengaged position, for which purpose the stop is cut away at 30. After zeroizing is begun, the same parts ensure its completion before re-engagement. The successive positions of the carriage are determined by the arm 31, Fig. 8, carried by the shaft 15 with a certain amount of play thereon, and forced into slots 32 by its own spring. To lock the transfer pinion wave-wheels 11, which are left out of engagement with the collars 34 when the counter spindle moves to the right, a cylindrical segment 36 is attached to the carriage and engages the wheels. The disengaging arm 16 is normally locked, and has to be released by pressing a key 43, Fig. 9. Re-engagement of the counter can then only take place after lateral movement to one of the fixed positions. The spring release key 43, Fig. 10, slides the bolt 40 from under the disengaging arm 16, afterwards allowing it to slide back and lock the arm down, but the carriage cannot be moved until an additional locking-arm 42, with a projection engaging in one of the slots 32, is depressed. Unless this projection registers with one of the slots, it interlocks with a stop 45 upon the bolt, and prevents the release of the disengaging-arm to re-engage the counter.

Title: Improvements in Bituminous Paving or Pavement Mixtures or Compositions.
Inventor: JUSTICE PHILIP MIDDLETON
Filed: 1906-09-18
Granted: 1907-05-09
Abstract: 20,723. Justice, P. M, [International Pavement Co.]. Sept. 18. Asphalts.-In bituminous paving compositions consisting of (1) body material, such as crushed stone or sand, (2) fines, such as very finely com. minuted stone, and (3) a bituminous cement as a binder, it has been proposed to subject the fines to a preliminary impregnation with a portion of the binder, which usually consists of pitch or of an asphaltic cement containing residium of petroleum or other flux oil. The present invention has for its object to prevent deterioration of the pavement by eliminating from the cement before it is incorporated in the mixture substantially all oil that might be absorbed by the fines or by the body material. This is effected by subjecting the residium or other flux, before or after the formation of the cement, to a conversion or oxidation, so as to produce a pitchy substance. The asphalt also is preferably refined and desalified before admixture with the converted flux.
Patent GB-190621172-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the Treatment of Vegetable Oils
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1906-09-24
Granted: 1907-01-31
Abstract: 21,172. Boult, A. J., [Kerckhove A. van de]. Sept. 24. Fatty oils.-Vegetable oils are transformed into bodies resembling animal oils by being emulsified with a salt solution. The emulsion is successively treated for the removal of albuminoid and peptogene substances, for the conversion of the unsaturated bodies into saturated compounds, and for removing the diastases, ferments, and sulphocyanides, the separated bodies ultimately being precipitated, and the oil decanted and filtered. The emulsification is effected by agitating a mixture of equal parts of oil and water together with a quantity of salt varying with the density of the oil under treatment. Any free fatty acids are removed before emulsification takes place. The albuminoid &c. matters are removed by treating the emulsion with a double sulphate of sodium and and zinc converted into a base by tin chloride. The conversion of the unsaturated into saturated bodies is effected by treatment with chlorine peroxide, or with a mixture of potassium chlorate and hydrochloric acid, in some cases after previous. treatment with zinc chloride. The diastases &c. are separated by means of formaldehyde. The precipitated matters are removed by spreading a thin layer of alumina or calcined alum and talc on the surface of the oil, reheating the mass, and afterwards allowing it to settle and finally filtering it. The process is particually adapted tor the conversion of colza and cotton-seed oils into a body resembling neat's foot oil, and is capable of suitable modification where, for example, the lubricating quantities only of the animal oil are desired.
