Title: Improvements in Spring Wheels.
Inventor: WRIGHT CHARLES IRVING
IPC: B60B9/26
Filed: 1913-02-26
Granted: 1914-02-26
Abstract: 4886. Wright, C. I. Feb. 26. Spring wheels with continuous outer rigid ring and helical springs; spring wheels with continuous outer rigid ring and pneumatic cushions. -Radially-arranged tubular spokes containing helical springs, or communicating with a pneumatic hub, maintain the normal load w i t h concentricity of the axle, and are fitted with curved co-operating surfaces combined with balls or rollers between their ends and the rim, so that under abnormal load or shock all the springs below an horizontal line through the axle are equally increased in stress at the maximum permissible displacement and substantially equally at other displacements. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, truly spherical balls 11 are arranged between surfaces 9, 10 which have contours in the plane of the wheel obtained by a special method described. The surfaces 9 are supported by fully-compressed springs 12 which rest upon pistons 13 supported by the main adjustable springs 6. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the main springs are replaced by hollow pistons 13<a> communicating with a pneumatic hub. When balls are used, the surfaces may be curved transversely to the wheel plane so as to give transverse elasticity also.

Granted: 1914-01-15
Abstract: 8526. Shaw, A., Shaw, G. F., and Shaw, S. H. April 11. Coating webs.-Warps are damped in a loom by contact with a wet surface either as they pass over the back rest or as they pass over a tension roller. In the first case, the back bearer 1, Fig. 1, is supported by pivoted arms 11 and is formed as a trough, in the ends of which are open-topped bearings for carrying the spindle of a roller 5 covered with absorbent or equivalent material adapted to convey liquid from the trough to the warps in contact with the roller. The height of this roller can be adjusted by slightly rotating the trough-shaped back bearer. The roller 5 may be supported underneath by one or more loose rollers 12, or the roller 5 may be made in sections. In the case where the warp is moistened as it passes over a tension roller 5, Fig. 3, the trough 14 therefor is mounted on set-screws 15 so as to be adjustable, the spindle of the damping-roller being journalled in blocks 17, which are mounted on the trough and are adjusted by means of screwed stems 17<1> and hand-wheels 19. The adjustment of the roller may, as an alternative, be effected by mounting cams or eccentrics on the ends of the roller spindle. The same means for preventing sagging as previously described may be employed.
