Variable speed epicyclic gearing. - In a change-speed epicyclic gear, a carrier 10 is fixed to the shaft 1 and is furnished with worms 9 in gear with a worm-wheel on the hollow shaft 2. On the worm shafts are pinions 7 meshing with gear-wheels 6, which are integral with bevel-wheels 5 in engagement with a bevelwheel 4 secured to, or integral with, a looselymounted friction disk 12. A friction disk 11 is slidingly mounted on the shaft 1, and is pressed by a spring against friction wheels 13 which at the other side are in engagement with the disk 12. The friction wheels 13 are mounted on boxes 14 having pivots which turn in bearings in a non-rotating spider 15. The bosses 14 may be turned simultaneously by worms fixed to a spindle which is mounted in bearings in brackets 17 fixed to the spider 15. For transmitting heavy loads, the worms 9 may be mounted on threaded spindles, so that if the worms tend to move more slowly than the spindles, they are forced against shoulders keyed to the spindles and are driven solidly therewith. If, however, the worms overrun their spindles, they move along them until they come into contact with clutch members on the carrier 10, which are adapted to check their overrunning. Either shaft may be the driving-shaft, the carrier may be fixed to the frame instead of the shaft 1, or the worm-wheel may be fixed to the frame and the carrier to the driven shaft. The driven shaft may be coupled to the planet ring 20 of a differential gear, and the driving- shaft to one of the toothed rings 21 of the same gear.

Abstract: 24,992. James, R. W., [Remington Typewriter Co.]. Nov. 3. Letter-spacing mechanism.-Relates to escapement-mechanism of the kind in which a rocker carries fast and loose dogs a n d the fast dog is normally in engagement with the feed-rack so as to afford a reverse or speed escapement. T h e fast dog 46, shown in rear view in Fig. 3, is pivoted at 42 to the rocker 26 for motion to and from the feed-rack 16, and is formed with an arm 43 on which the loose dog 47 is pivoted at 45 for motion in the direction of the feed-rack. When the carriage is returned without lifting the feedrack, the dogs yield about the pivot 42, this yield occurring whether the fast dog, or, as is the case when a key is held depressed, the loose dog engages the feed-rack. The loose dog is actuated by spring 50 which serves also to hold the dogs in rack-engaging position and to restore the dogs to this position by turning them about the pivot 42. The play of the dogs about the pivot 42 is limited by the engagement of an ear 54 on the arm 43 with an ear 27 on the rocker. The dogs and the feed-rack are formed with the usual top-bevels, and the dog 47 is also bevelled at the side in order that the pressure of the feed-rack may assist the rockerspring in withdrawing the dog from the rack. This bevel can be made by bending part of the dog. The play of the loose dog is limited by the engagement of a recess 53 with a pin 52 on the fast dog. The rocker 26 consists of a sheet of metal formed with ears 27 mounted on trunnions 28, an ear 55 which guides the dogs, and an ear 30 adapted to be engaged by an arm on the universal bar. The ear 30 is beut off twice at right-angles along the lines 31, 32 and by bending the ear along these lines it can be adjusted, in the known manner, with reference to the universal bar. The ear is preferably adjusted so that the rocker is not actuated until near the end of the key-stroke. The trunnions 28 are mounted in hangers 23 formed on a plate 24 which is secured by screws to the carriage-bed 25. An adjustable plate 36, secured to the plate 24 by screws 37 passing through slots, is formed with a slotted ear 40 which embraces one edge of the rocker and limits the throw. The returning-spring 34 for the rocker is attached to the ear 30 and to the plate 36.
