Granted: 1913-11-13
Abstract: 6632. Schoedelin, M. J. G. March 18. Friction and toothed gearing. - In speed transmission gear of the type in which motion is transmitted by means of rollers or disks from an outer ring to a central shaft or vice versa or from a central shaft to planet-pinions rolling within a fixed outer ring, additional inner rollers are provided between each pair of main rollers and between each main roller and the central shaft, the auxiliary rollers being maintained in position without bearings by flanges engaging grooves in the shaft. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, an outer ring 1, which may be driven by belt or toothed gearing or by a crank or pedal or other means, transmits motion to a central shaft 11 through main rollers 3, preferably three in number, mounted upon stationary spindles 7, and auxiliary inner rollers 8 arranged between the rollers 3 and between each roller 3 and the shaft 11. The rollers 3 engage between flanges 9, 2 on the auxiliary rollers 8 and in the ring 1 respectively. The flanges 9 on the rollers 8 engage annular grooves 10 in the shaft 11, whereby axial displacements of the rollers are prevented. The shaft 11 is held in position entirely by the parts which drive it, other bearings being dispensed with. The stationary spindles 7 are mounted in fixed side plates 4, flattened ends of the spindles engaging radial slots in the side plates to prevent rotation. Radial adjustment may be effected by means of cover-plates 7<a> which may be secured to the side plates 4 by screws 7<b> engaging slots in the plates 7<a>. The spindles 7 may serve as distance-pieces between the plates 4, or the plates may be secured by screws 5 to distance-pieces 6. The diameters of the parts are such that the ring 1 is slightly distorted to produce the required pressure to prevent slipping. The elements may be magnetized to increase the grip. In a modified form, the outer ring 1 is secured to the stationary casing of an electric motor, the central shaft 11 forms the driving-shaft of the motor and transmits rotation at a reduced speed to a coaxial two-speed pulley shaft carrying the rollers 3 which in this form have a hypocycloidal motion within the fixed ring 1. The friction gearing may be combined with toothed gearing to prevent slip. In this case, toothed elements of corresponding pitch diameters are secured to the respective frictional elements.

Abstract: 7944. Tatin, V. April 5, 1912, [Convention date]. Aerial machines without aerostats ; steering and balancing.-In an aeroplane having a rear propeller and main supporting-planes or wings adjustable about a transverse axis, the wing-warp. ing devices are carried by a vertical frame adjustable simultaneously with the planes. The main planes f are secured to a shaft f<0> mounted on the fuselage a. An upright f<1> is secured to the shaft f<0>, and cords h are attached to the ends of the upright and pass around a drum h, whereby the incidence of the main planes can be adjusted. A tube f carried by the lower ends of the standards f<1>, f<4> supports a shaft f having arms f<6> at its rear end connected by cords f<8> to the rear edges of the planes. The front end of the shaft f<5> is provided with a lever f<7> to which the operating- cords f<10> are attached. The cords pass around pulleys on the shaft f<0> to the transverse spindle of a cardan joint, to which the lever g is attached. The fore-and-aft movement of the lever operates the rear elevators c. The rudder d is operated by a foot-lever j. The underframe comprises curved frames e connected to the body by elastic devices e<3> at the rear end and at the front end by links i to the planes f. Before starting, the hand control h is freed and the main planes automatically rise at their front edge. When the machine is in flight, the weight of the underframe lowers the front edge of the plane and decreases the incidence, after which the drum h is locked. The wheels e<0> are conical. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes also a modified arrangement of the undercarriage in which the curved frames e are pivoted to the body of the machine at their front ends. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 11,909. Barrows, G. W. May 22. Bobbins and carriages.-Relates to various forms of thread tension devices for lace-machine threadcarriers, consisting essentially of a single spring wire 1 which is moved by the tension of the thread over a nipping-surface 5 forming part of the carrier 3. The surface 5 may be inclined, as shown, to the plane of the carrier 3 ; or it may be parallel, and the spring 1 may be caused or adapted to move obliquely to it ; or the surface may be part parallel and part inclined, so that when the tension exceeds a certain amount, the spring may be brought in contact with the inclined surface and the tension will thereby be lessened. In the modified form shown in Fig. 9, the nipping-surface 16 has a hole 17 in it and the pull of the thread d draws the spring 18 towards the hole to relieve the tension. The thread may pass one or more times round the. spring. According to another modification, the thread is wrapped round an enlargement of the end of the spring which co-operates with an inclined nipping-surface and with a guard-plate.

Abstract: 29,866. Ramsey, J. C. Dec. 29. Pencil - sharpeners.- Pencil - sharpeners provided with independent means for sharpening the wood and the lead comprise an open-ended pencil socket 19 mounted rotatably on a vertical stem 13 and having a cutting-blade 28 for removing the wood of the pencil, an abrasive member 15 for pointing the lead mounted concentrically with the stem 13 in a cup-member 10 adapted to receive the pencil shavings &c., and resilient means such as a spring 23 for maintaining the lower end 22 of the socket 19 normally pressed away from the abrasive member 15. The socket 19 is supported on the stem 13 by means of a semicircular supporting-member 18 carrying a spring-pressed pin 17 which engages a groove 16 in the stem 13. The spring 23 is preferably formed as an extension of the member 18, and a housing 27 is formed on the socket 19 to enclose the member 18 and the upper part of the spring 23 and to serve as a handle for the device. In using the sharpener, the pencil is first rotated in the socket 19 until the blade 28 has removed the required amount of wood, then the lead is pointed by rotating the socket relatively to the abrasive member 15 keeping the lead pressed against the abrasive member against the action of the spring 23. The socket 19 and its connected parts can be detached from the stem 13 by disengaging the pin 17 from the groove 16.
