Title: An Improved Friction Driving Clutch or Coupling.
Filed: 1903-04-18
Granted: 1903-05-28
Abstract: 8797. Calico Printers' Association, and Whittaker, J. April 18. Clutches.-The friction clutch consists of two parts, one of which, the sliding cone b, is free to move upon two keys c in the shaft a. The other part d is mounted loosely upon the shaft a and carries the spur-wheel l or its equivalent. A collar m keyed to the shaft prevents lateral motion of the part d. Upon the inside of the part b is cast a projecting web e, which, when the clutch is in gear, extends almost to the inside of the flange of the part d. An arm f pivoted at g on the plate d projects radially through a slot in the rim of the plate. The projecting part is enlarged and has holes to receive the ends of spiral springs h, which are confined between it and a plate i bolted on to the exterior of the rim d. A box also bolted on the rim d supports a spring tooth, which projects into the space between the parts b, d. To set the clutch and the spur-wheel l in motion, the cone b is moved towards the part d until the projection e meets and raises the tooth k, under which it passes and then engages the arm f, which compresses the springs h. This checks the movement of the arm f and prevents any movement of the part d until the friction surfaces of the clutch are in proper contact. Figs. 1 and 2 show the clutch in gear. The sliding part b is operated in the usual way by a lever.

Title: Improvements in Rail Bonds
Filed: 1904-06-11
Granted: 1905-04-20
Abstract: 13,275. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. June 11. Rail bonds.-The rails are connected by a bond consisting of a stranded portion partially enclosed in a metallic casing, which is compressed while cold to remove all air, the object being to prevent the formation of oxides during the welding-process. In one form, metallic strips a of good conducting material are wound into the shape shown in Fig. 1. Cylindrical plugs d, having enlarged portions e carrying circular pins f, form the terminal heads. The pins f fit into the holes c in the bond, and the terminal is closed by a cap g. The whole is then placed in a die and subjected to pressure while cold to remove the air. The pin f may be formed on the cap instead of on the plug. In a modification, shown in Fig. 10, the flange e is made dish-shaped and the projection f conical. When pressure is applied, the flange e is flattened and the pin f becomes cylindrical. In another modification, the flange h is formed on the enlargement e instead of on the cap g. Fig. 20 shows a method of attaching the terminal to a rail. A hole is bored through the centre of the terminal and a pin m slightly longer than the terminal is fitted into the hole. The middle portion is made barrel shaped, as shown, and the ends are hardened while the middle is left comparatively soft. A brass or copper sleeve is placed around the reduced portion of the pin, and pressure is brought to bear on the ends of the pin, thus causing the terminal to expand within the hole and form a good electrical connection with the rail.
