Granted: 1907-06-20
Abstract: 14,273. Scrive, A. June 22. Gas and like engines.-In an engine working on a two-stroke cycle, the piston 4 on the up-stroke draws in a charge past the valve 2 and through the reservoir 3 and port 22, and compresses at the same time a charge that was introduced above it past the valve 15 on the previous down-stroke. When the piston reaches its lowest position, the exhaust ports 21 are opened and the cam 10 opens the valve 15. The charge enters and is caused to descend in horizontal strata by the ledge 16, Fig. 2. By this means, the incoming charge reaches all parts of the cylinder and expels the combustion products. The reservoir 3 is constructed with long curves and no angular joints. The crank-disks 6 leave very little space for lubricating-oil. Specifications No. 27,123, A.D. 1902, and No. 6306, A.D. 1903, are referred to..

Title: Improvements in Mules for Spinning
Inventor: HARTLEY PROCTOR
Filed: 1906-10-13
Granted: 1907-09-26
Abstract: 22,678. Hartley, P. Oct. 13. Mules.-The quadrant and quadrant arm are dispensed with, and, to regulate the speed of the spindles during winding, a grooved pulley c is mounted at the front of the head-- stock and carries one end of the winding - chain e, the other end being secured to a snail f on the spindledriving drum shaft. The pulley c is rotated by means similar to that which ordinarily operates the quadrant screw, and may also be regulated by hand, during the building of the cop, so as to vary the position of the operative portion of the chain on the snail, the chain being wound on the smallest diameter when starting a fresh cop. The pivoted lever m, held by a chain o which is unwound as the chain e is unwound, is engaged by an incline l on the carriage during the outward run and thus takes up a portion of the slack of the chain, the remainder being rewound on the snail by the ordinary return band. The Letting-off, during the inward run, of the slack taken up by this lever regulates the winding on the cop bottom, the effect of the lever being least at the commencement of the winding, when the lever is in its highest position.

Abstract: 26,905. Viratelle, M. N. Dec. 7, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Variable-speed gearing. -Relates to a changespeed gear for motorvehicles &c. in which epicyclic trains are used to transmit the power to the back axle from a single driving-pinion. This is accomplished through the medium of internally-toothed rings, except for the top gear, externally of equal diameter, which may be separately b r a k e d by bands by a suitable mechanism. These rings are supported in both directions by ball races. Two forms of the gearing are described. Interlocking-mechanism for effecting the changes of the gearing is also described, and provision is made by w h i c h, on the vehicle brake being applied, whatever speed is in action is released. The direct drive is brought into action by means of friction plates by which the fly-wheel and planetcarrier are locked one to the other. Fig. 1 shows a transverse section. Fig. 2 shows a longitudinal section through B C D, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 a section through E E, Fig. 1, and Fig. 5 shows an alternative arrangement of the epicyclic trains, in which some of the wheels are co-axial to the driving- pinion. Motion is transmitted from the driving- shaft a through the single pinion b through one or other of the several trains of wheels carried by the planet-carrier u<1>, Fig. 2, according to which of the toothed rings g, g<1>, g<2> is held stationary. These rings are supported by ball bearings as shown. A toothed pinion g<3>, which can be held by the brake drum g<3>, is provided for giving a higher gear, in conjunction with the planet-wheel k. The brakes are operated by springs which are allowed to come into action one at a time by sliding the rod 3 so as to bring the notch 5 into the appropriate position. The direct drive is brought into action by means of the friction clutch p, r, by which the planet carrier can be locked to the fly-wheel t<1>. This clutch can be put in and out of engagement by linkage l, m, also operated by the rod 3. The main brake 14 is actuated by a pedal at 8, as shown in Fig. 1, which first releases whichever speed is in use through the medium of a bellcrank 11, in the form of an elongated lifting-piece, engaging all the brake rods. The casing z is bored and has limited clearance in order that the band brakes may be effectively cleared when released. The engine shaft 15, Fig. 3, drives through a skew or helical gearing, which presses into engagement a one-way ratchet-clutch 17.
