Title: Improvements in or relating to the Maintenance of Equilibrium of Unstable Vehicles or other Bodies in Unstable Equilibrium by the Action of a Gyroscope.
Inventor: SCHERL RICHARD
IPC: G01C21/18
Filed: 1909-11-29
Granted: 1910-08-11
Abstract: 27,840. Scherl, R. Nov. 25, [Convention date]. Gyroscopic apparatus for keeping upright vehicles which are naturally in unstable equilibrium is provided with means for producing an additional force to control the precessional oscillations p r oportional to the acceleration of the precession. In the construction shown, the hollow shaft 5 is connected by gearing to the precessing frame, so as to oscillate therewith. A heavy disk 6 is loosely mounted on the shaft 5, and is connected therewith through springs 12, which transmit the movement of a cross-piece 11 carried by a bracket 9 fast on the shaft 5. The relative movement of the shaft 5 and disk 6 causes actuation of the valve of a servomotor, which applies a force to the precessing frame. The valve-rod 24 is connected to a lever 13 pivoted on the cross-piece 11, and connected at the other end to the disk 6.

Abstract: 11,318. Bond, E. S. May 7. Variable - speed epicyclic gearing.-A twospeed bevel gear is arranged at the side of the hub of the driving- wheel in a motor-cycle or other vehicle. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the pulley A, driven from the motor, drives the hub E of the road wheel through the two - speed gearing, a sleeve P, and a clutch interposed between the sleeve P and the hub E. The sun member b of the two-speed gear is directly driven by the pulley A, and the planetary-pinions c are carried by an enlargement of the sleeve P. A clutch member H locks the two b e v e lwheels b, t together to give the direct drive, or holds the bevel-wheels f stationary to give the indirect drive. The gear-changing clutch H is operated by a central rod m from the bellcrank lever s<1>, and the cone clutch r is disconnected against the action of the spring t by a sleeve s and bellcrank lever o. The eng i n e may be started without moving the vehicle by disconnecting the cone clutch r and rotating the sleeve P either bv a handle on the end l or a pedal-driven chain sprocket u. The operating-means may be disposed at opposite ends of the axle. Clutches adapted to allow slip or lost motion under strain. A modified form of clutch and operating-mechanism is shown in Fig. 3. Balls 8 pressed outwards by springs engage grooves in a member 9 carried by the hub. The balls 8 are carried in an axially movable member 13, which is pressed into gear by a spring 12. The bell-crank levers 2, 5 are pivoted on a common spindle 7.

Granted: 1911-02-23
Abstract: 15,120. Sundh, A. July 3, 1909, [Convention date]. Liquid-pressure engines.-Comprises a liquidpressure engine in which a number of sets of radial-cylinder engines are disposed parallel to each other for driving a single shaft. The engine comprises three sets E, E', E<2> each having three cylinders placed so that their axes make an angle of 120 degrees with each other. The three cranks A, B, C, to which these sets are coupled, are arranged so that B is 40 degrees in advance of A, and C is 40 degrees in advance of B; consequently the nine pistons are brought successively to their outer dead-centres. The supply to the cylinders is controlled by a rotary valve V, and a reversing and main stop valve R. The valve V is constructed with disks 34, 35 which divide the valve chest into three compartments in which are situated the inclined valve disks 36, 37, 38, which control the ports of the engine cylinders. Each valve disk has an enlargement such as 36, which ensures a quick opening and closing of the ports. The port 51 of the valve R is connected with three passages 53 leading to the valve V; and the port 48 communicates with three passages 54. The ports 51, 48 may be opened to the supply or exhaust by moving the valve R to the left or right.

Abstract: 18,768. Henri, V., Helbronner, A., and Recklinghausen, M. von. Aug. 9. Water supply, producing differential rates of flow in.-The speed of the liquid in different parts of the cross-section of the conduit is varied by means of baffle-plates, or by suitably shaping the conduit itself. For example, a baffle-plate 16, Fig. 1, is placed midway below the channels 2, so that the liquid is retarded at the lower parts of the conduit at these points. Or the liquid may flow into and out of the chamber over notched plates 18, Fig. 2, which allow a more or less free passage for the upper layers. Or baffle-plates with apertures may be used in place of the notched plates, the apertures being larger and more frequent at the upper parts of the plates. Alternatively, the conduit may be of trapezoidal section, as shown in Fig. 2, with the sides converging towards the top, so that the liquid flows more rapidly at this place. In another form, corrugations or baffle-plates 20, Figs. 5 and 6, are provided in the bottom of the conduit, so that the liquid in these parts has to take a circuitous path. Two or more of the above methods may be combined.
