Title: Improvements in Clutch Mechanism for use in connection with Back-pedalling Hub Brakes for Cycles.
Inventor: SANGSTER CHARLES THOMAS BROCK
Filed: 1908-09-19
Granted: 1908-12-17
Abstract: 19,709. Sangster, C. T. B. Sept. 19. Brakes; driving -mechanism. - Relates to that type of free - wheel and back - pedalling brake mechanism for cycles wherein a brake-operating pawl upon an extension of the sprocket-wheel under the action of a spring engages a brake element when the parts are in their free-wheeling positions, while the driving-clutch pawls are mounted in a part that is capable of a limited angular movement relative to the sprocket-wheel and is connected or provided with a cam device which on forward driving and on wheeling the machine backwards disengages the brake-pawl and retains it in an inoperative position. According to the present invention, the brake device b is mounted on an external fulcrum plate b<1> disposed between the hub and the sprocket-wheel, the brake-pawl i and ratchet member being mounted between the sprocket-wheel and the relatively-movable part f, which carries the brake-pawl controlling-cam g<2> and is connected by a one-way clutch with the hub shell. The part f has a projection g which engages a larger recess d' in the brake-pawl carrier d to form a driving connexion between these members of such a nature as to admit of relative angular movement between them. In driving and back-wheeling, the cam-surface g<2> upon the projection g engages the tail of the pawl i and moves its nose inwards from engagement with the ring j. Fig. 11 shows a modified construction wherein the brake pawl i is mounted at the rear end of a driving-piece d<6> which is provided upon the sprocketwheel extension d to engage a face lug g upon the hub-connected member f, the relative motion being limited by the engagement of a pin i' upon the pawl with a cam-slot g' in the member f. In forward driving and back-wheeling, the parts d<6>, g abut, and the outer edge of the cam-slot bearing upon the pin i<2> causes the pawl to be depressed to an inoperative position. On free-wheeling, a spring i<1> returns the pawl into engagement with the ratchet teeth j, or the slot may be inclined on its inner edge for this purpose. The invention is applicable to single or variable speed hubs, it being applied as shown in Fig 1 to a three-speed gear of the kind described in Specification No. 29,341, A.D. 1906.

As shown, a chamber A, Fig. 1, is locked by a bolt B on a spring-controlled lever B<1>, which engages a recess B<2> in the chamber. To withdraw the bolt B, a coin or tally is passed through a slit T on to a spring lever T<1>, which delivers it through a shoot T<2> to a spring-controlled beam C. The beam C is moved by the weight of the coin to release the lever B<1> from the end C<1> of the beam, and the bolt B is withdrawn by spring action. The coin is discharged from the beam C by means of a cord T<3> attached to a spring-pressed bolt U actuated by a cam U' on the moving chamber A. The bolt B may be withdrawn by an electro-magnet, the circuit of which is closed by a contact carried by the beam C ; the beam C may be caused to complete a break in the ignition circuit. The beam C may carry a spring-raised pan, which closes contacts when depressed by the weight of a coin, and the coin itself also joins contacts on the top of the pan. The coin slit may be normally closed by a projection, which frees the slot only when the chamber A is completely closed. The recording-device shown in Fig. 4 consists of a pencil or pricker P carried by a chamber A which, as it rises, causes the pricker P to mark the paper, which is supported by a block P<3> with an aperture P<4>. A spring-pressed pawl P<7> on the chamber A rotates a ratchet-wheel P<6> on one of the drums P<5>, around which the paper passes. Springs P<8> bear against bosses P<9> on the drum, and adjustable spring blocks P<10> press on the paper to provide for the alteration in size of the paper-drums. In a modified form of recording-device, a spring-controlled pencil and a ratchet are actuated by a trip cam on the chamber A when the cam is moving in one direction, but are not affected by rotation in the reverse direction.

Abstract: 7531. Owen, H. L. March 29. Wire, covering by winding. - Conductors are covered with an overlapping spiral winding of material such as asbestos fibre, prepared by the method described in Specification 7530 / 09, [Class 36, Electricity, Conducting &c.], b y carrying the conductor 3 from the stock-reel 2 through a guide 8 and a straightening-die 9, over a rotating wheel 10 for applying an adhesive material, and t h e n through the rotary fibre-coating device 29. It then passes under a drip-port 13, which may, however, be omitted, and thence through a compressor 14, such as is described in Specification 7533/09, to the cooling or baking device 15, and is then wound on the drum 17. The wire is carried through the machine by the friction draw-wheel 4 driven bv worm gearing 6 from the main-shaft 7, which also drives the coating-device 29 and the compressor 14. The winding-drum 17 is shown in detail in Fig. 2, and is driven by a belt 18, capable of slipping, through the wheel 23, which, by reason of the spline and feather device 22, can drive and yet move axially on the shaft 20. The shaft 20 is provided at one end with a right-handed thread and at the other with a left-handed thread, which engage with one or other of the half screw-threaded boxes 28 according to which way the balancearm 24 is thrown. The rotary coating-device is shown in detail in Figs. 3 and 4, and consists of a divided casing 29, carrying V-shaped wheels 32, on which the correspondingly V- grooved centerpiece 38 can run, the wheel 37 serving as a steadying-pulley. The two wheels 32 are geared together by a chain 34, and are driven from the main shaft 7 by a chain 35, Fig. 1. The wire passes through an orifice 39 in the centre of the plate, and an internallytoothed wheel 41 is secured to a cross-stay 40 at the back of the member 38. A pinion 60 on a shaft 42 meshes with the wheel 41, and so, as the plate 38 revolves, the wheel 41 turns and thus drives the pulley 43 secured to the shaft 42. The asbestos or like fibre is carried on a tape which is wound from a reel carried on a box in a rectangular slide 55 around a guide-pulley 44, the size of which may be varied to suit differentsized wires, then around the operating-pulley 43 and over a second guide-pulley 45 to the reel 56 for receiving the empty tape. As the asbestoscarrying tape passes over the pulley 44, the fibre is deposited on the conductor in a spiral layer, the lay of which may be altered bv changing the speed at which the conductor passes through the machine. The cheeks of the bobbins carrying the tape are made removable, the wind-off bobbin being run without cheeks and the wind-on bobbin with cheeks.
