Granted: 1915-01-21
Abstract: 23,256. Hedges, T. Oct. 14. Variable speed friction gearing. - Comprises friction-disk variable - speed gearing in which a disk B on the engine shaft is engaged by a roller D on a shaft E carried in three bearings N, M, N, of which the middle bearing M is movable to allow the roller D to be moved into or out of contact with the driving - disk. The shaft' E drives the road wheels by means of a pair of crossed belts I which allow differential rotation of the wheels H on curves. The shaft E is universally jointed at O to allow of the movement of the bearing M, and the other bearings N are of the self-alining type. The pressure between the disk and the roller is increased in the lower gear positions of the roller by the increasing leverage of the bearing M as the roller approaches the centre of the disk; this pressure is also increased as the load increases by the pull of the belts I on the bearings N.

IPC: B60K17/10
Filed: 1914-05-05
Granted: 1915-05-27
Abstract: 11,055. Apjohn, M. A., [Executrix of Apjohn, J. H.]. May 5. P n e u m a t i c clutches; t r a n smitting power.- Relates to a pneumatic clutch or variable-speed gear of the kind wherein the power is applied by the driving - member to the driven member in intermittent impulses by means of radial pistons and cylinders, and consists in making the cylinders sufficiently long for the pistons to make a full stroke under abnormal loads without release of compression. The driving- shaft c is connected by cranks at 180 degrees to pistons b, b<1>, each of which is secured to the opposite cylinder a<1>, a by means of flanges g. Valves j close the ends of the cylinders. A casing or guide h surrounds the cylinders and is operatively connected with the driven shaft. If the load on the driven shaft is normal, the air pressure in the cylinders prevents the pistons from making a full stroke, and the cylinders and casing h revolve bodily with the shaft c. With a greater load on the driven shaft, the pistons only exert a driving impulse on the compression stroke. By holding the valves j in the open position, the pistons reciprocate freely and no movement is imparted to the driven shaft. Cam and lever mechanism may be provided to relieve the air pressure automatically at a suitable point of the stroke. In a modification, the outer casing h forms a cylinder enclosing the cylinders a, a'. The casing h and cylinders a, a<1> are provided with ports so that at a suitable point in the stroke of the piston air escapes from the cylinder into the casing, and is compressed and afterwards returned to the cylinder to resist the next compression stroke.

The various parts are mounted on a table b having raised edges on three sides and having the operating treadle lever mounted in the underframing. The plate i carries, near its front, fixed guide plates or rollers q, against which the bristles s are laid, and between which the bristles are folded by the plunger h until they pass to the tapering V-guide l. The plate i is extended backward by arms m and a cross-head n, by which it is connected to a fixture p through the spring o. In a modification, the rearward extension is not employed, the plate i being connected to the plunger-operating lever through a lost-motion connexion, consisting of a slotted plate and pin. The plunger h is tapered at the front and is there recessed to engage with the bristles and force them into the stock while the plate i retires under its spring action. The plunger is operated at its rear end by a treadle lever, having a spring or other returning motion, which projects through a slot e in the table. The bristles are held up to an adjustable gauge 10 by means of a follower plate 11 or lever 14 operated by an adjustable link 16 connected to the end of the plunger.

Abstract: 13,141. Jackson, W. J. Mellersh-, [Boston Rubber Shoe Co.]. Sept. 14. Special kinds of boots and shoes, machines for.- An apparatus for applying compacting-pressure simultaneously to the outer surfaces of the sole and upper of rubber boots and shoes, to replace the usual hand-rolling operation, comprises a drum 3, Figs. 1 and 4, carrying at its lower end a flange member 6 formed with interrupted screw-threads adapted to interlock with similar threads on a base member 2 when the drum is partly rotated, and fitted internally with tubular supports 13 screwed into the base 2 and adapted each to penetrate a block 14, to which a last carrying a rubber boot 15 is adjusted, or to penetrate the last itself. The drum is counterweighted, and is raised by means of a rope 36, being guided by rollers 22 carried by brackets secured to the member 6; the rollers are adapted to run in tracks conveniently formed by angle-irons 19. When the drum is lowered and partly turned, it is rendered air-tight by means of a rubber ring 9, Fig. 4, the free and locked positions of the drum being determined by stop-screws threaded in the supporting-brackets of the rollers 22. The base 2 is also fitted with one or more inlet pipes 30 connected to a source of pressure, the preferred degree of pressure in the drum being approximately 90 or 100 lb. This pressure compacts the materials of the boot and expels all the air within the materials, or between the boot and last, through the tubular supports 13 and out into the open air. To provide for this escape of air, a seal 16 of rubber or other material is applied over each block 14 and the top opening of each boot. Fig. 8 shows a modified and the preferred construction of seal, in which the top of the last or tree carrying the boot rests on a hollow metal cap 40 provided with positioning-pins 48 and with a ground socket 41<a> to engage the top of the tubular support 13. The cap is flanged at 42 to receive the lower end of the rubber seal 43, which is preferably formed with reinforcing- bands 49 51, 52.
