Granted: 1907-09-19
Abstract: 8928. Pettigrew, J. April 17. Draw-gear.-Relates to that type of draw-gear in which the two draw-bars of a vehicle are connected together at their inner ends through coupling- plates, through which the bars extend, and one or more interposed springs, such springs being compressed by a pull upon either draw-bar. The ends a' of draw-bars a are made semicircular in cross-section and formed with projections a<2>, Figs. 2 and 4. In order that the parts may be assembled together, the plates b, between which the draw-spring is interposed, are formed with holes e shaped as shown in Fig. 3 so as to allow of the passage of the projections a<2>, the plates being afterwards rotated so that the projections a<2> engage in recesses f formed in the plates. Backward rotation of the plates is prevented by a plate K secured to the vehicle, the plates b being made polygonal for this purpose. Excessive compression of the draw-spring is prevented by semicylindrical sleeves h placed upon the draw-bars. One or each of the draw-bars may consist of two parts connected together by a screw or other adjustable connexion.

Granted: 1908-10-08
Abstract: 9434. Williams, A. May 1. Brakes.-A skid brake is of boxform with roller and ball bearings, upon which the wheel of the road or railway vehicle mounts. The skid 1, Figs. 1 and 3, consists of a tapered steel base 2 provided, when used on a railway, with flanges 15, which hold the skid on to the rail and are narrowed slightly towards the edge remote from the edge 3 so as to grip the rail. A groove 6, Fig. 5, is provided to take the wheel flange, and is deflected outwards at the top of the skid to cause the skid to be bound against the side of the rail as the wheel mounts it. The casing of the skid is fitted with two rollers 7, 8 of unequal size, bearing upon a bed of steel balls 9. At the edge 3, a series of balls 10 is retained in place by the top plate 11 so as just to project above the surface of the plate. In a modification, Fig. 6, the balls 10 are replaced by a steel roller 17 carried by a movable platform 18. Fig. 9 shows a skid for use with tramcars. The skid is held by arms 12 and links 16 from the axle or vehicle, being guided by a grooved sector plate 13, Fig. 1. The brake is put into operation by the rotation of a rod 19 through a hand-lever 23. The rod 19 runs along the vehicle and is connected to a transverse rod 20, the ends of which operate wire ropes 21 which are connected to the skids at the opposite sides of the vehicle ; or the ropes may wind on a drum on the rod 19. The rods 19 of separate vehicles are connected together by flaring out the internally squared end of one rod and tapering the squared end of the next. The rods 19 may be fitted with removable ends connected by a coupling consisting of a dovetailed box-head 25, Fig. 10, which takes the corresponding head 26 of the adjoining rod end; a cap 27 closes the coupling and is retained in place by a catch 28.
