Patent GB-190609471-A (GB)
Title: Transmission-gearing.
Inventor: DAVIS ORSON WILLIAM
Filed: 1906-04-23
Granted: 1906-07-26
Abstract: 9471. Davis, O. W. July 19, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Variable speed gearing; clutches. - Relates to frictional transmission gearing especially for motor road vehicles in which the motor and driven shafts are placed in line, and either clutched together to give a direct drive or connected through friction gearing to give variable speeds. Fig. 1 shows a plan and Fig. 3 a side elevation of the arrangement, while Figs. 4 and 5 show enlarged views of the clutch. The motor shaft 2 is placed in line with the driven shaft 7 and the direct drive is obtained by means of a clutch placed in a recess in the side of the fly-wheel 3. The driven shaft carries, keyed to it, but movable longitudinally, a friction disk 25 which is engaged by friction-wheels 20, driven from the fly-wheel 3 to give various speeds. The shafts 19 of the friction-wheels 20 are allowed a slight longitudinal movement in their bearings 18, which are mounted on a supplementary frame 16, suspended from the main frame 15 by spring bolts 17. The friction-wheels 20 are first brought into engagement by means of a pedal on the shaft 42, acting through links and bell-crank levers 38. Further movement of the pedal then swings the supplementary frame 16 forward bodily so as to engage the wheels 20 with the fly-wheel 3, this movement being allowed by the spring bolts 17. The disk 25 is adjusted in position to give any speed by a hand-lever 32 acting on the rod 31 through link-work. When the disk 25 is pushed into its extreme forward position, an arm 46 depending from the rod 31 engages the downwardlyextending arm 48 on the shaft 42 and thereby disengages the friction disks. At the same time, a bevelled spud 44, carried by the friction disk 25, operates the clutch, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, so as to give the direct drive. The clutch consists of an expansible ring 11 secured at 10 to a disk 8 which is fixed to the end of the driven shaft 7, and loosely supports the end of the motor shaft 2. The disk 11 is expanded so as to engage the fly-wheel by a lever 14 acted upon by the spud 44.

Abstract: 10,949. Hoefftcke, C. A., and Koefftcke, Ltd., C. A. May 10. Dislocation appliances.-Anappliance for treating hip dislocation after reposition comprises a pelvic corset in combination with a thigh sheath and a trochanter band, whereby pressure is exerted on the trochanter and the neck of the femur, the resisting point being the tuber ischii. The thigh sheath 1, strengthened with bands 2, is made with a steel band 3 extending from under the great trochanter and the tuber ischii to one third of the thigh in front. The trochanter band consists of a steel strip 5 adjustably attached by straps 4 and one or more slotted metal extensions 6 to the band 3. The pelvic corset 8, strengthened by steel bands 9, 10, is connected to the thigh sheath by rods 11, 12 adjustably attached to the bands 10, 9, 3, 2 and connected by two pivots 17, 19 at right-angles. The boss of the rod 11 carries a worm operated by a key 21 and engaging the sector 20. The corset and sheath may be laced. In some cases, the appliance can be supported from beneath the foot, and the worm adjustment can be dispensed with.

Abstract: 6822. Davey, M. March 21. Elastic-fluid turbines. - Relates to balancing b 1 a d e - fastening, packing, superheating, and leakage - utilizing devices for parallelflow turbines. The turbine has a cylindrical or stepped drum A, Fig. 1, with a central picking-device F separating the turbine into two portions, so that steam from the inlet M flows from the centre of the turbine drum to one end L through the blades E, and passes through a by-pass pipe 49, Fig. 13, or a superheater 42, to the other end L' and then through the blades E' to the exhaust N. The packing - device has an inner ring 5, Fig. 4, mounted on the turbine drum and acting as a dummy piston to balance end thrust An outer ring 8 in two parts is fixed to the casing, and a ridged packing-ring 7 is arranged between the rings 5, 8 and is pressed to the left against the surfaces 10, 11 to prevent leakage. A space 12 between the outer ring 8 and the packing-ring 7 allows the turbine to centre itself.

Granted: 1909-10-27
Abstract: 22,819. Murday, T. J. Oct. 27. Electric clocks.-In a primary clock, the circuit by which a current is transmitted to indicators is closed at regular intervals by a projection on the pendulum. Fixed to a pivoted insulating block m, are two arms l, l<1>, the ends of which rest on notched disks h, i carried by arbors of the timetram which may be driven by the pendulum acting on a ratchet-wheel b. The block also bears two springs s, s<1> having cylindrical contact-pins p<1>, p' at their adjacent free ends which lie near the path of a third pin p carried by an arm on the pendulum. At the instant when the ends of the arms l, l<1> pass into the respective notches on the disks h, i, the block m is tilted so that as the pendulum makes its next swing, the pin p passes between the contactpins p<1>, p<2> and closes the circuit. Immediately afterwards the pins p<1>, p<2> are again raised clear of the pin p. The contact-device may be applied to any clock that is required to transmit a current at each swing of the pendulum ; the levers l, l<1> are then dispensed with, and the block m is fixed. In the arrangement described, for driving the clocktrain through the oscillations of the pendulum, Fig. 1, an arm e, projecting from the pendulumrod a supports two counterweighted clicks d, d<1> the bent ends of which engage with the ratchetwheel b. As the pendulum swings, the ratchet is alternately pulled and pushed around by the clicks d, d<1> respectively.
