Title: Variable Gearing.
Inventor: PETTINGILL WALTER CECIL MAUTBY
IPC: B62M25/00
Filed: 1912-03-27
Granted: 1913-03-27
Abstract: 7415. Pettingill, W. C. M. March 27. Variable - speed epicyclic gearing comprises pairs of interengaging planet gears b, d, Fig. 1, carried in a cage 7 secured to a driven shaft 5. The driving- shaft 3 carries an internally-toothed gear a, which meshes with the gears b. The gears b mesh also with a sungear c, and the gears d mesh also with an internally-toothed gear c. The lowest speed is imparted to the shaft 5 when the gear e is held against rotation by a brake 10 applied to a drum 9. The second .speed is obtained when the gear c is held fast by sliding a friction cone 11 into engagement with a fixed friction surface 13. The third speed is a solid drive obtained by sliding the cone 11 into engagement with a cone 12 carried by the shaft 5. The cone 11 is operated by a screw 14, which has a sliding connexion with a casing 1 and is operated by a lever 16 formed as a nut with interrupted threads. The arrangement shown in Fig. 1 is adapted for use on a motor-cycle, the power entering through a sprocket 4 and being transmitted through a pulley 6. The gearing is adjustably supported by being hung from a bolt 33, which passes through the engine crank bracket 32 and through arms 34, 34' extending from the casing 1. Screw means 39, Fig. 6, may be provided for effecting this adjustment and so tightening the driving-chain, and means 35 may clamp the gearing in the adjusted position. Means for operating the brake band 10 comprises a lever 41, which is pivoted at one end to a movable end 42 of the band 10 and is acted on at its other end by a disengaging-spring 46. The fulcrum 43 of this lever is connected by a link 44 to a fixed part 45. In a modified arrangement, suitable for cycle-cars, the solid drive is obtained by clutching together the two internally-toothed gears. In another modified arrangement, a fourth highest speed is obtained by the use of a second sun-gear which can be held by a brake. A form of the invention suitable for motor-cars is shown in Fig. 16. This has such a second sun-gear f, and the solid drive is obtained by connecting the gears c, f together by friction clutch members 81, 82. An additional train of gearing g, h, j is provided for driving the shaft 5 reversely from the shaft 3. The internallytoothed gear j is secured to the carrier 7 of the planet-gears b, d, each gear d meshing with three gears b, f, e. A suitable form of brake is shown in Fig. 18. Opposed levers 95 carrying friction blocks 98 are pivoted at their lower ends 96 to fixed parts 97. The tension member 99 of a Bowden transmitting-mechanism is secured to one lever 95, and the compression member 100 is secured to the other lever 95, so that these levers can be drawn together by operating that mechanism.

Boot-sole scwing machines; feed by welt-guide. -In a welting-machine, the welt-guide and back rest are given a movement in the direction of the feed during the feeding movement. The welt-guide movement is combined with a movement along the line of approach of the welt to the work. The rearward movement takes place while the work is locked and acts to measure the welt and the forward movement assists the feed. In the example shown, a weltguide 16 is carried by a lever 38 pivoted at 40 to the welt-guide slide 17, which may be provided with known devices for alternately locking it and reciprocating it to and from the work and for withdrawing it from the work on stopping the machine. The pivot 40 is situated so that, when the lever 38 is oscillated by connexion with a cam-operated lever 48, the movement of the welt-guide is approximately along the line of the welt strip 12. A finger 69 fixed to the welt-guide slide 17 presses upon the welt when it is secured by the last-formed stitch and prevents it from following the backward movement of the welt-guide. For imparting to the back-rest the movement along the line of feed. a curved back-rest 70 is, in one form, pivoted upon the usual back-rest slide 73 and is oscillated by means of linkages 77, 80, slideblock 83 on a shaft 60 and a connexion 59 to a cam-lever.

Abstract: 2234. Rubio y Roger, R. Aug. 21, 1912, [Convention date]. Clutches, friction; operating or controlling clutches.-Relates to clutches and to spring and dash-pot apparatus for operating them. In the device shown in Fig. 1, the clutch E is operated by a lever L connected to a sleeve K which is loose on a rod k moving with the piston-rod f of a dash-pot F. A strong spring R is placed between the sleeve K and a fixed stop k<1>, and a weaker spring S between the sleeve K and a plate f<1> on the rod f. In the position shown in the drawing, the clutch is engaged. To disengage, a lever T is moved to lift the rod f, thus compressing the spring S and moving the sleeve K against the action of the spring R. A stop M on the rod k ensures movement of the sleeve K if the spring S is too weak. When the lever T is released, the spring R reengages the clutch against the action of the dash-pot F. The sleeve K may act on the clutch lever through a third spring, a stop similar to the stop M being provided to ensure movement of the clutch lever. Fig. 3 shows the application to a Weston plate clutch E. The weak spring S actuated as before through a lever T acts through a lever on the main spring, which is within the clutch casing, the dash-pot F ensuring slow re-engagement of the clutch. In the form shown in Fig. 4, the weak spring U bears directly on the main spring R, resilient buttons S being placed between the metal clutch cone and the leather covering.
