Title: Improvements in or relating to Hydraulic Variable Transmission Mechanism.
Inventor: HALL JOHN WILLIAM
Filed: 1903-01-07
Granted: 1903-12-17
Abstract: 442. Hall, J. W. Jan. 7. Electric locomotives, - Relates to hydraulic variable - transmission mechanism of the type described in Specifications No. 7479, A.D. 1896, No. 14,826, A.D. 1897, and No. 22,406, A.D. 1901, [all in Abridgment Class Hydraulic machinery], and applicable to elect r i c locomotives and the like. Fluid is pumped into cylinders, the capacity of which may be varied in reverse proportion to the speed desired at the driving-shaft which passes through the casing and carries cranks at either end. The driven shaft A is supported by a frame B which carries the stator elements S<0> of the electric motor as shown in Fig. 1. The casing D carries the pump cylinders and motor cylinders, and is supported on a part C. The pump pistons D<2> are connected by their rods to pieces bearing on the eccentric A<2>, and have non-return valves D<5> which allow the liquid to pass from the inside of the casing to the spaces above the pump pistons. The valves D<7> allow the liquid to pass to the valve chambers E, in which work the valves F controlling the passage of fluid to and from the motor cylinders. The liquid reaches the motor and adjuster cylinders G by way of the passage G<2>. To vary the capacity of the adjuster cylinders, and so to vary the speed at which the shaft A is driven, a hollow shaft J<1> provided with a crank or an eccentric J is fitted in the piece C. This shaft J<1> is mounted eccentric with the axis X-Y of the shaft A, so that, by turning it by means of the wheel J<2>, the centre of the eccentric J can be made to coincide with that of the shaft A, and the effective throw of this eccentric thus reduced to zero. The capacity of the cylinders G is thus maintained constant, and, since the liquid pumped is practically incompressible, the maximum speed is given to the shaft A. The valves F are controlled by means of an eccentric K<6> which is moved by means of a pinion K<4> actuated by a ring K on the wheel J<2>. This eccentric may be moved independently of the wheel J<2> to allow for reversing. A modification of the apparatus is shown in Fig. 2, in which the shaft A passes through the concentric shaft L. The bush M, having at its inner end an eccentric M' and prevented from rotating by bolts M<2> attached to the frame B, carries an eccentric J which is operated by the shaft L through an Oldham coupling.

Abstract: 14,344. Loosemore, W. June 27. Targets.-Travelling and disappearing targets in miniature ranges are operated by a cord carrying running-blocks which move in two grooves in the beam A. Where a travelling target is not employed, four disappearing targets are arranged in pairs so that one pair is covered while the other is uncovered. The target at the righthand end of the beam A and that on the left of the centre shield F form one pair, and the remaining two the second pair. The disappearing targets are carried on tipping-blocks e fitted in the back groove, the blocks being pivoted at e' and weighted at e', so that the targets are normally hidden behind the shields F, placed in the centre and at either end of the beam A. Two running-blocks J having bevelled ends are placed in the back groove at the same distance apart as a pair of falling targets. When the blocks J reach the tipping-blocks, the targets are brought into view, remaining there so long as the blocks J are beneath them. The blocks are prevented from falling on the ropes by pins placed on the falling side, and they may be fixed in position by a pin e<3> engaging in a hole e<4>. When a moving target is used, the centre and falling targets and shield are dispensed with, the moving target being carried on a running-block g. The blocks J, g are driven by an endless cord, passing through the back and front grooves and over pulleys at the ends, the cord being operated by a hand-wheel. The cord is not firmly fixed to the running blocks, but passes through holes in some of them. A two or three section range may be driven :from the same starting point.

Granted: 1905-02-16
Abstract: 6683. Marston, C., Newill, W., and Morgan, J. March 19. Driving-mechanism.-Relates to two-speed epicyclic gearing for cycles and other machinery. An extension B<1> of a sleeve B mounted on a ball bearing C on a fixed spindle A carries dogs or ratchets B', Figs. 1 and 2, which can be engaged by a spring pawl D operated by a wire, rod, &c. D<1> and carried by a bracket E supported on the spindle A. On the sleeve B is a sun pinion F, and integral therewith, or secured by a nut H, is the ratchet part G of a free-wheel clutch. Mounted on ball bearings J, C is the driving-portion K, screwed to receive a driving-sprocket, free-wheel, or the like, and provided with a flange K<1> carrying pins L forming bearings for planet pinions M gearing with the pinion F. The hub N is carried by ball bearings 0 at one end and adjustable bearings at the other. Upon a hardened liner N' forming part of the ball race, or upon the hub itself, is formed an internally-toothed ring meshing with the pinions M. The ring N' may be recessed as at N<2> to receive lubricant and provided with holes N<3> to convey the lubricant to the working faces. Pawls P pivoted to the hub are kept against the ratchet G by springs P<1>, Fig. 3, and a plate R may be set between the ratchet G and the pinions M. If the pinion F be locked by means of the pawl D, the internal wheel and hub will be rotated at the higher speed. When the pinion F is free, it tends to run in the forward direction at increased speed, but is hindered by the ratchet G and pawls P. The gear as a whole moves round with the driving-part K and hub N, giving the low speed. In a modification, the hub, instead of being rigid with the internally-toothed wheel, may overrun that wheel by means of a ratchet clutch similar to the clutch G, Figs. 1 and 3.
