Patent GB-190612479-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Buttons Brooches and the like from Horn and Hoof.
Inventor: GROVE ARTHUR JAMES
Filed: 1906-05-29
Granted: 1906-08-23
Abstract: 12,479. Grove, A. J., and Grove, F. H. May 29. Buttons; brooches; buckles; clasp fastenings.- In a method of manufacturing coloured buttons, brooches, belt clasps, buckle fronts, &c. from horn and hoof, described as applied to buttons, rough blanks are first dyed black or other colour, the dye penetrating the outer surface only. The blanks are then warmed and compressed in dies to the required shape and size, and the dyed part is next turned off the front and rim so that the dyed back surface is seen through the semitransparent body of the material, presenting, in the case of a black dye, a rich olive-green colour. The button front is polished as usual. When an impressed pattern or device is to be formed on the button front, the blanks are re-warmed and compressed after the turning process, and are finally polished.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Variable Speed Gears for Cycles and the like.
Inventor: ALLTREE ARTHUR
Filed: 1907-05-15
Granted: 1908-04-23
Abstract: 11,315. Alltree, A. May 15. Driving-mechanism.-In three-speed gearing of the twin epicyclic-train type, suitable for motor and other cycles the changes are brought about by a clutch-member K which is slidably arranged in and rotatable with a ring H carrying internally-toothed rings I, J, engaging pins, pawls, &c, on the driving and driven members. The driving-member B carries the spindles D' of the planet-pinions D of the gearing-up train. The pinions D mesh with the ring I and with a sun-pinion F loose on a fixed axle A. The driven member C carries the spindles E<1> of the planet-pinions E of the gearing- down train. The pinions E mesb with the ring J and with a loose sun-pinion G. The clutch K, which is rotatablymounted on a collar L sliding on the axle A, has projections K<1> which engage longitudinal slots H<1> in the ring H. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 1 and 5, the clutch K has two rings of ratchet teeth a, b, adapted to be engaged when within reach by spring pawls W<1>, X<1>, carried by the members B, C, respectively. The direct middle-speed drive is effected when the clutch K in its mid position, as shown, is engaged by both sets of pawls. The high speed results when the clutch K is moved to the left to disengage the pawls W', the pinion F being held against rotation by a sliding non-revoluble clamp M. The low speed results when the clutch K and a clamp N are slid to the right. The collar L and clamps M, N are operated by an internal rod R and springs. In a modification, shown in Fig. 1, the spindles D', E<1> are prolonged and the clutch K is provided with holes for engaging these spindles directly with like result. A hub S may be connected to the member C somewhat as described in Specification No. 14,106, A.D. 1907, by a ring T with inwardly projecting pins T' held in position by a screwed ring U. A free-wheel clutch may be interposed between the member C and the hub S. According to the Provisional Specification, the main sliding clutch-member "carries" the two internally-toothed rings.

Stud-contact conductors.-To return or assist the return of road stud-contact mechanisms to the de-energized position, the magnetic polarity of a part only of the stud mechanism is reversed by the pick-up magnets used to energize the studs. The polarity of the part 7 only is reversed, while that of the parts 6, 8 remains constant, whether the magnetic circuit is nearly closed through the stud mechanism as shown in Fig. 2, or is completed through the air and track paving as shown in Fig. 6. The central pole 1, Fig. 2, and the side poles 2, which are continuous with the trailing-pole and may be the leading pole also, are energized by one coil 5. In a modification, separate coils are provided for the leading and trailing end poles, which may be of opposite polarity; the leading pole may be of greater strength to accelerate the switch movement; and the exciting-current may be from the same or a different source as that of the main coils. The Provisional Specification states also that each end pole may have two coils, current passing through only one of the coils. The magnet shown in Fig. 6 has side poles 1, 2, and the end poles may be a continuation of the pole 2. This form is applicable to pick-up magnets of the " Lorain " and " Dolter " type, the leading poles being of the same polarity as the main pole. With cars travelling in one direction only, the leading pole may be dispensed with.

The valve v<1> is arranged by the side of the valve v and opens inwards, being kept closed by a weight and relieved of this weight through the action of an electro-magnet. The valve v acts as described in the parent Specification, and, when the wave has receded to its lowest point, which is above the lower end of the receptacle k, the valve d closes, and the contact levers e, f close the circuit which operates the magnet for relieving the valve v<1>. If the air in the vessel k is then below atmospheric pressure, the valve v<1> is opened, and the pressure within the vessel k rises to that of the atmosphere. Instead of loading the valves by means of weights, they can be retained in the closed position by means of bolts r, shown in Fig. 6, which are operated by solenoids on the closing of the circuits.
