Title: Improvements relating to Variable Speed Transmission Gearing for Motor Cycles and other purposes.
IPC: B62M25/00
Filed: 1912-03-18
Granted: 1913-02-27
Abstract: 6606. Kimberley, F. A., and James Cycle Co. March 18. Variable-speed toothed gearing.-Comprises a three-speed countershaft gear, a clutch, and a kick starter for motor-cycles &c. The countershaft 2 is driven from the engine through a chain-wheel 1 and a disk clutch 19. A lay shaft 8 carries toothed wheels 6, 7, 9, fixed thereon, the first two of which engage respectively with wheels 4, 5 mounted loosely on the countershaft, and the last, 9, engages with a wheel 10 slidably keyed on the countershaft. This wheel 10 is provided with clutch surfaces 11 by which it can engage with either of the wheels 4, 5. Fixed on an extension of the wheel 4 is a sprocketwheel 13 by which the drive is finally transmitted. Thus, when the wheel 10 is moved to the left, it locks the wheel 4 to the countershaft, and a direct drive is obtained. When the wheel 10 is in its middle position, a reduced speed is given through the wheels 10, 9, 6, 4, while the lowest speed is obtained through the wheels 5, 7, 6, 4 when the wheel 10 is moved to the right and locks the wheel 5 to the countershaft. The wheel 10 has free positions between the gears and is operated by a fork engaging a collar 15. The clutch is operated by an arm 25 which imparts an axial movement to a rod 22 through a screw 24 and a thrust collar 23.

Granted: 1913-04-17
Abstract: 9947. Rindfleisch, B. F. April 26. Lathes.-In means for feeding angular blanks to a constantly rotating lathe spindle, the blanks are fed from a magazine into a normally stationary carrier which can be put into rotation and which carries a number of blanks, the transfer from the carrier to the spindle being effected by the feed movement from the magazine to the carrier. The carrier 35 is mounted on the tool slide and has at the forward end clutch teeth of the same number as there are sides in the blanks, the lathe spindle 5 being provided with corresponding clutch teeth 33. To bring the carrier opening into register with the magazine 39 at the end of each feed movement, a lever 40 is loosely mounted upon the carrier spindle and is tensioned by nuts 42, 43; when the carrier spindle is driven, the lever comes against a stop 46 and then slips, but when the drive is taken off, a spring 56 returns the lever to another stop and brings the carrier spindle into position for the push-rod 50 to transfer a blank into the carrier.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Thickening Paper Pulp.
Inventor: POWERS CHARLES FRANKLIN
IPC: D21F1/66
Filed: 1912-11-19
Granted: 1913-08-14
Abstract: 26,540. Powers, C. F. Nov. 19. Pulp, catching and recovering.-In apparatus for thickening pulp, also adapted to recover stock present in the white water, the pulp or white water is delivered by the pipe l to a vessel over the edge of which it flows down a conical screen D. Water passes through the screen and is caught in a trough d and drained away through the pipe e. The pulp slides down the screen into a pump-well beneath. The screen is rotated and the normal tendency of the water to rush through the screen apertures is diminished by the centrifugal action, and better separation of water and pulp is effected. A stationary spray pipe o prevents the screen apertures from becoming clogged.

Granted: 1913-06-26
Abstract: 1596. Siemens - Schuckertwerke. Jan. 19, 1912, [Convention date]. Driving-mechanism; transmitting-mechanism. -To adapt any form of speed governor for regulating at low speeds and for either direction of rotation of the prime-mover, a device is arranged between the prime-mover and the governor which adds a constant speed on to the speed of the prime-mover, so that the governor runs at the sum of the two speeds, which sum may have a positive value even when the direction of rotation of the prime-mover is reversed. In the form shown, the centrifugal governor r is driven from the prime-mover k through a gear g, the shaft w<1> of which is driven at a constant speed. The governor operates the throttle valve s through gearing m. By means of the handle h, the relative positions of the governor sleeve and the transmission levers may be altered, as shown, so as to determine the governing speed of the governor. The gearing g may be replaced by an electrical transmission in which the introduction of a constant electromotive force effects the addition of a constant speed. In this case, the governor is driven by a separately-excited direct-current motor connected to a dynamo driven by the prime-mover, a constant source of electromotive force, for example an auxiliary dynamo, being introduced into the circuit.
