Granted: 1909-10-28
Abstract: 23,000. Sayer, R. C. Oct. 29. Motor road vehicles; locomotive railway and tramway vehicles.-Along the main traffic routes on rail, road, water, or like systems, vehicles or vessels are run rapidly without stopping, while on the local or secondary routes motor vehicles or vessels are adapted to collect and distribute the passengers or goods. The local carriers when full are passed on to the main lines in the rear of passing main line carriers so as to overtake and automatically couple to them. The local carriers then exchange their loads for the goods or passengers which require to be transmitted to their particular secondary line. After this the local carriers uncouple and return to their local circuit and distribute their loads. Fig. 3 shows in sectional elevation the automatic coupling-devices attached to the main and local line carriers. The main-line carriers z have at their rear a platform z<2> formed with an inclined end portion z<7> and side guides z<3>. Pivoted to the front of the local-line carriers y is a platform y3 having an inclined end projection y<12>, which, when the carriers y overtake the carrier z, engages the inclined part z<7> and causes the platform z<3> to mount the platform z' and pass between the guides z<3>. The platform y<3> now rests on the platform z<2> with the projection y<12> engaging in the recess z<4> and the part y<5> engaging the bolt z<5>. To uncouple the carriers, the cord y<4> is pulled so as to cause the rotation of the platform y<3> about its hinges into the broken-line position y<11>.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Fare Indicators for Vehicles.
Inventor: STUTTRICH OTTO
IPC: G07B13/00
Filed: 1910-12-20
Granted: 1911-05-25
Abstract: 29,578. Stuttrich, O. Dec. 23, 1909, [Convention date]. Taximeters; flag and setting-spindle mechanism; minimum-fare devices.-In apparatus of the type in which a sector is driven idly while the minimum fare is being registered, a mutilated pinion 5 is provided to drive the sector 6 against a spring 8. The first two movements of the sector are arranged to correspond to the minimum fare and a spring-controlled doublearmed lever 19, pivoted at 16, is arranged to be moved into the position shown in Fig. 2 to prevent its return after the first revolution of the driving-pinion. The lever 19 is released on lowering the flag through a cam on the setting-spindle 20 and a lever 25. The first rotation of the driving pinion moves a pawl 10 away from a stop 15 and allows it to fall into gear with a ratchet-wheel 9, and the movement of the arm 17 frees a detent 18. The driving- pinion is retained in its proper position by a spring-depressed roller 29 engaging a notched disk 27 on the shaft of the pinion. Transfer to the higher indicating-dials is effected by a snail cam and a lever and pawl 12 engaging a ratchet 13. The device is brought into gear on lowering the flag by a broad toothed wheel 24, Fig. 4, carried on a spring-retracted arm 21 controlled by a cam 22 on the setting-spindle 20. The wheel 24 engages wheels 2, 4, Fig. 5, the first being mounted on a hollow shaft 1 driven both by the clock and the vehicle, and the second mounted on a shaft housed in the shaft 1 carrying the pinion 5. In a modification, the lever 19 is formed with a shoulder so that three rotations of the driving-pinion correspond to the minimum fare. Distance totalizers.-The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the provision of two hands which show the total distances run while engaged and disengaged. The vehicle-driven shaft drives by means of a projection thereon a toothed wheel normally looked by a pawl, which is raised from the wheel just before driving takes place by a second projection and is allowed to fall into engagement as soon as the driving operation is completed. The toothed wheel drives a wormwheel having on each face a ratchet - wheel connected frictionally therewith. These are mounted on concentric shafts and carry the distance-indicating hands. A lever actuated by a cam on the flag shaft raises one or other of the locking pawls from the ratchet - wheels. This subject - matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
