Title: Variable Speed Mechanism for Belt or Friction Transmission.
Inventor: FOSTER CHARLES EDWIN
IPC: B62M25/00
Filed: 1912-12-31
Granted: 1913-11-27
Abstract: 30,003. Foster, C. E. Dec. 31. Variable - speed belt and friction gearing.- Relates to gearing in which the speed ratio is varied with changes in torque. Fig. 1 shows the application to an expanding pulley. One flange 2 is loosely mounted on the shaft 1 and has splined thereto the other flange 4, which abuts against a collar 8 on the shaft. A helical spring 11 connects the flange 2 with a collar 10 on the shaft, and a pin or roller 7 on the shaft engages a cam-slot or equivalent 6 in the boss of the flange 2. Motion is transmitted between the shaft 1 and the pulley through the spring 11. The spring tends to keep the pulley closed, and any increase or decrease in the torque serves, through the spring and the roller and cam, to adjust the relative position of the flanges 2, 4. The pulley may be employed either as a driving or driven member, and in conjunction with an ordinary V pulley or with another similar adjustable pulley. Both flanges may be controlled. As applied to a disk-and-roller gear, the driving- disk 15, Fig. 4, engages a roller 16 connected to the shaft 17 by a spring 20 and roller and cam slot 19, 18. According to the Provisional Specification, the invention is applicable to motor-vehicles, machine tools, &c.

Granted: 1914-07-16
Abstract: 17,432. Wijnberg, A. July 29. [Addition to 19,357/12.] Carbon.-'Decolorizing-carbon,' defined in the parent Specification, is regenerated by treatment with a solution of alkali, alkaline compound, or alkaline-earth, in the presence or not of an oxidizing-agent, followed by heating to red heat or incandescence; the application of the oxidizing-agent may be separate from that of the alkali, in the presence or not of an acid, such as hydrochloric or sulphuric acid. The treatment is particularly applicable to carbon already regenerated according to the parent Specification, whereafter the original process may be applied, without observing any special conditions. Suitable alkaline substances are alkaline carbonates, and suitable oxidizing- agents are permanganates, chlorates, and hypochlorites, such as alkaline chlorates, potassium permanganate, and chloride of lime. If an undesirable proportion of ash accumulates in the carbon by repeated treatment, it can be removed by washing with an acid, for instance hydrochloric acid, followed, if necessary, by washing with water.

Abstract: 19,774. Holt, B., and Holt, P. E. Sept. 1. Portable-track wheels. -In an endless-track motor-vehicle in which the weight of the vehicle is transmitted to the track by means of roller trucks running on the upper side of the ground - engaging portion of the track, the roller trucks are pivoted centrally to the vehicle so that they can rock within a limited range relatively to the endlesstrack sprocket-wheels, and the sprocket-wheels on opposite sides of the vehicle are mounted independently on short shafts. Fig. 1 shows the arrangement of the roller trucks 6 which are pivoted to the vehicle at 16 and project below the sprocket-wheels so as to relieve them of the weight of the vehicle and also keep them clear of the ground. The rear sprocket-wheels 15 are driven by internal gear-wheels 22 mounted at opposite ends of a through shaft actuated from the motor 13 through a propeller shaft and bevel reversing- gear. The endless-track comprises a series of plates 40 with curved overlapping ends, each plate carrying a pair of parallel skeleton links 41 secured thereto by bolts 47. The links are spaced by end and central interchangeable nshaped sprocket-engaging members 49, the end members being secured by pivot bolts 42 between adjacent links and the central members by lugs 50 and bolts 51. The end and central members 49 are set out of line with each other so as to engage the teeth of the sprocket-wheels correctly. The pivot bolts are partly enclosed by a # - shaped sleeve 43 which leaves the lower portion exposed to an oil-cup 52. The upper edge 46 of the links forms a continuous track for the wheels of the roller trucks.

Abstract: 27,836. Ilsemann, F. Dec. 3. Jacks.-Relates to motor-vehicle raising and supporting apparatus of the kind in which arms pivoted to the frame are let down to engage the ground, each arm having two supporting- points, one nearer the pivot of the arm than the other one which becomes the final supporting-point. The present invention consists (1) in providing a lug on the supporting-arm for attachment of the actuating-cord, such lug also forming an abutment against the vehicle frame for the final support, and (2) in providing an additional and independent arm to form the final support. Fig. 2 shows the first form. The arm c bent to form two supporting-points m, e is pivoted at d to the frame near the axle. The arm is bifurcated and normally held out of action by a spring f. When the cord h is pulled to let the arm down, the point m first engages the ground, and the vehicle is backed and lifted, whereupon the point c, at which may be fitted a roller, becomes the support, the lug g abutting against the frame. An adjustable feeler n may be fitted to hold the arm out of contact with the ground until the vehicle has acquired sufficient momentum to raise itself. Fig. 4 shows the second form. An additional independent arm i is provided, the arm c having a relative movement with respect thereto, and engaging a lug l to bring the second arm into action.

Abstract: 12,752. Perkins, W. J. S. May 23. [Addition to 12,603/13.] Tip - buckets. - The tip-bucket described in the parent Specification is modified so that the bucket tips in one direction only. Figs. 3 and 4 show the two parts of the lifting bail or handle. The bucket trunnions 21 rise in slots 24 when the bucket is lowered on to the ground, and pins 22 projecting from the bucket sides ascend grooves 29. On one bail, a pivoted spring-controlled finger 30 is displaced, so that when the bucket is lifted, one pin slides down the outer surface of the finger while the other slides down an inclined surface 33. The bucket then tips and, on righting itself when discharged, one of the pins 22 is caught between catches 28 to lock the bucket in the upright position. The bucket may be lifted without tipping by holding the finger 30 open by a catch 35. The pins 22 then descend the grooves 29 and the catch is released by the coresponding pin engaging a projecting tailpiece. The bail may be freed in order that it may be lowered to an horizontal position for loading by lifting a sliding piece 39.
