Patent GB-189806345-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Driving Gear for Motor Road Vehicles.
Filed: 1898-03-15
Granted: 1899-01-28
Abstract: 6345. Soc. Franþaise d'Automobiles. Sept. 20, A.D. 1897, [date claimed under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to variable-speed toothed driving-gear for vehicles propelled by petroleum or similar motors. The gear is changed by oscillating a handle i attached to a shaft I, certain angular positions of which correspond to the engagement of the different gears, while intermediate angular positions correspond to complete disengagement and to a simultaneous interruption or diminution of the supply of gases to the motor whereby it is prevented from racing. The gears are engaged or disengaged by means of sliding clutches F, F<1> worked through levers by groove cams H, H<1> on the shaft I. A third cam J on this shaft simultaneously operates the throttle valve K of the motor so as to regulate the supply of gases while the clutches are out of action.

Granted: 1899-02-11
Abstract: 17,370. Bennett, T., and Bennett, H. Aug. 11. Tyres, pneumatic.-A tool for removing and replacing the covers of pneumatic tyres is shown in side elevation in Fig. 2, and when the cover is being removed in Fig. 6. The round metal rod a, fitted into the handle b, has a projection d to bear against the edge of the rim, and a flattened part c of which the outer end e is slightly bent over. The wire arm f is rather thicker than the flat part c, and is freely pivoted or spring-connected to the rod a so as to be capable of either position shown in Fig. 6, the position indicated by the dotted lines being fixed by the length of the hook k. To remove the cover, the arm f is pressed against the rod a and the ends inserted between the rim and the edge of the cover, which is then prized over the edge of the rim at this point. The rod a is then twisted slightly, so as to make room between the rim and the cover for the arm f to spring back into the dotted position shown, after which the rod is advanced towards the arm and the operation repeated until the cover is removed. The cover may be replaced in a similar manner. In a modification, the rod a is replaced by a pair of hinged lovers similar to curling-tongs.
