Granted: 1908-05-28
Abstract: 18,245. Ransford, R. B., [Compagnie Parisienne des Voitures Electriques (ProcÚdÚs KriÚger)]. Aug. 12. Dynamos, regulating ; motors, controlling.-In an electrically-driven vehicle, the generator A, Fig. 1, which is excited by a shunt winding B and a series winding C, is provided with an additional series winding D which is opposed to and of greater strength than the first series winding, and is normally short-circuited upon itself or upon a controlling-rheostat F. The conducting- sector H, which short-circuits the series winding D through the contacts G, is actuated by a pedal K or other suitable part. When not actuated, the pedal K is held by a spring L, Fig. 2, in the position in which the contacts G are in engagement with an insulating- block M. A sector N on the pedal shaft is adapted to engage with one of three notches on a ring O on the reversing-switch I, thereby preventing the actuation of the pedal, except when the switch I is in one of three positions, and also preventing the rotation of the switch I when the pedal has been operated. The three notches in the ring 0 correspond to the forward and backward running positions and to the position in which the stationary contacts engage with the insulating portion of the switch. The starting-pedal K may be connected to a valve Q which regulates the supply of gas to the engine driving the dynamo. The motors E may be simple series motors or may be compound wound having the shunt windings connected to oppose the series winding so as to give large variations of the couple with small variations of the current strength.

Patent GB-190725414-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Driving and Brake-actuating Clutch Mechanism for use in connection with Cycle Hubs.
Inventor: SANGSTER CHARLES THOMAS BROCK
Filed: 1907-11-16
Granted: 1908-08-27
Abstract: 25,414. Sangater, C. T. B. Nov. 16. Brakes; driving- mechanism.-In driving and backpedalling brakeactuating mechanism for cycles, a laterally - movable clutch-sleeve e mounted between a driving-element i and a braking- element d is frictionally connected with the hub shell or member i by a spring j, and is operated by means of a cam f or a set of cams upon the sprocket-wheel sleeve engaging a slot or slots in the clutch-sleeve. As shown, the mechanism is combined with a change-speed gear, such as is described in Specification No. 29,341, A.D. 1906 ; for a simple coaster hub, the member i is formed in or directly connected to the hub. The double-acting cam f has the configuration of a letter Z, the ends being inclined at f<4>, f<5> so that the cam has on each side two inclines alternating with a shoulder or stop. The slot of the clutch-sleeve has corresponding inclines and stops. In driving, the cam moves to the eud of the slot to the position shown in Fig. 3 and thus forces the teeth e<2>, h into engagement. In free-wheeling, the part i being in one-way clutch connexion with the hub, the cam and slot remain as in driving ; if the part i is attached to or is in one with the hub, the combined action of the teeth e<2>, h and of the spring j causes the clutch-sleeve to be moved towards the right into operative engagement with the brake-actuating ring d. In back-pedalling, the cam causes the sleeve to move into full engagement with the brake ring and to turn the ring to apply the brake through the medium of a pin g<3>. In back-wheeling, if the teeth e<2>, h are not engaged and the sleeve occupies an intermediate position, the spring carries the sleeve backwards relatively to the cam until the parts assume the driving position, shown in Fig. 3, and the brake is not applied. If the sleeve is in engagement with the brake ring when back-wheeling is commenced, the friction of the spring is not sufficient to apply the brake. To facilitate the assembling of the mechanism, the clutch-sleeve is made in two parts secured together after the slot has been engaged with the cam. The clutch mechanism may be used in conjunction with a brake located at the remote end of the hub.
