Abstract: 3229. Eaton, G. R. Feb. 8. Variable-speed friction gearing.-In variablespeed friction gearing, power is transmitted from a shaft 20 to a disk 67 slidable on a driven shaft 39 through a pair of side disks 56. The disks 56 are flexibly and adjustably supported, and are rotatively connected with rotary members 60, which engage a driving-disk 23. The shafts 20, 39 are flexibly or universally supported in bearings 16, 38 upon frame bars 3, 4 respectively. A clutch disk 26 feathered upon the shaft 20 is normally held by a spring 28 in engagement with the disk 23, which is loosely carried on the shaft 20. A sleeve 35 loose upon the end of the shaft 39 is universally connected to brackets 34 upon the disk 23, and carries clutch teeth 35<a> adapted to be engaged, for direct driving, by teeth 70 upon the disk 67. The disks 56 are secured to sleeves 55 carried upon ball thrust bearings 59 upon spindles 52, which are thrust inwards by levers 49.

Granted: 1911-08-31
Abstract: 5484. Lake, W. E., [United States Light and Heating Co.]. March 4. Dynamos, supporting and mounting on vehicles and the like.-A generator is suspended from a car truck by links which allow it to be adjusted longitudinally or transversely with regard to the driving-pulley, the links at each side being adjustable independently of those at the other side. The application to a wooden truck is shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The overhung bearers 1, 2, attached to the truck by bolts 6, clips 7, and braces 10, carry sliding stirrups 13, 14 which are braced together in pairs by bars 18, the screwed ends of which carry nuts 23 abutting on blocks 20 on the downturned ends of the bearers 1, 2. The nuts 23 enable the pairs of stirrups to be moved independently towards or from the driving - pulley 36. The stirrups carry pivoted links 16 which are joined in pairs at the bottom by transverse bars 17, formed either integrally with the links or as separate members, and supporting the generator by means of bearings on the bottom of the generator casing or on its foundation plate. The links are joined by bars 31, and the forward links carry pivotally the belttensioning rods 25, the springs 28 of which abut on the bearer extensions 11. The generator axle can thus be angularly adjusted with regard to those of the car by means of the nuts 23, and the linkage constrains its bodily swing to be parallel. Alinement of the pulleys 35, 36 is effected by sliding the generator on the bars 17 and fixing it at the required position by movable clips 38. The application to a cast-steel truck is shown in Figs. 7 and 8. In this form, the bearers 40 pass through openings in the ends 41 of the outside channelled wheel beams 42 and are secured by bolts and fitting-blocks 45, clamps 47, and braces 48.. The suspension system is substantially the same as that of Figs. 1 and 2, except that the links 51 may be joined by transverse bars 52, which may be adjusted vertically on the links.
