Title: Improvements in Anti-skidding Devices for Automobiles.
Inventor: HORMEL AUGUST
IPC: B60B39/00
Filed: 1910-09-05
Granted: 1911-01-19
Abstract: 20,632. Hormel, A. Sept. 5. . Slipping of wheels, preventing.-To check side-slip in automobiles &c., a wheeled trailer mounted beneath the vehicle with freedom to swing in a vertical longitudinal plane is automatically crowded against the ground when relative lateral displacement takes place between the vehicle and trailer. The trailer comprises a pair of bars 25 secured to an arbor 19 which can slide laterally in bearings 18 formed on the lower halves of clamps 16, 17 surrounding the rear axle casing. The clamps 16 carry inclined rails 23 which are engaged by a roller 22 on the upper arm of a two-armed lever 21 pivoted upon the arbor 19 between the bars 25. The rear edges of the rails 23 have flat springs 24 arranged as shown in plan in Fig. 4, to absorb shock as the roller 22 moves over the rails. The trailing - wheel axle is carried in blocks 29 capable of sliding under control of springs 31 in slots 28 formed in the ends of the bars 25, and has secured to its ends two levers 40 which are prevented from rotating relatively to the blocks 29 by pins 42. The ends of the levers 40 are connected by springs 43 to a cross-piece 44 on a rod 45 which is connected to the lower arm of the lever 21. When the vehicle becomes displaced relative to the trailer during side-slip, the rails 23 press the roller 22 backwards and the lever 21 acts through the rod 45 and springs 43 to press the trailing wheel against the ground with greater force. To enable the trailer to be raised out of operation, the upper ends of the slotted parts 28 are connected by articulated links 65 to levers 60, 63 fixed on a rod 61, which is mounted in bearings on the clamps 16 and is turned by a lever 59 engaging pins 57, 58 on a bar 52 connected to a hand-lever 47. The bar 52 is connected by a spring 55 to a rod 53 which is secured to the lower end of one of the slotted parts 28, the spring 55 assisting in maintaining the wheel in contact with the road. The wheel consists of a wooden core clamped between metal disks 33 by bolts 35. Loosely mounted between the disks 33 is a circumferentially grooved ring 36 having inwardly turned flanges 37 which are cut away at intervals to accommodate the bolts 35, rubber blocks being interposed between the ring 36 and core 32. When the wheel is pressed against the ground during side-slip, the rubber blocks are compressed until the flanges 37 rest on the core 32.

Granted: 1911-08-31
Abstract: 754. Farrell, J. J. Jan. 11. Counters for coins.-Relates to a machine for counting and packeting coins. The coins are placed in a hopper 1, Fig. 2<a>, and are fed over by hand from the large depression into pockets 3 having openings 31 leading to coin-tubes 13, 14, preferably made of glass and having inclined slots near the bottom to allow the withdrawal of bent coins. The coin-tubes are of two sizes, and a group of either size may be rotated into position below the openings 31. On reaching the bottoms of the tubes, the coins 28 rest on a supporting-plate 9, Fig. 10, and are moved out singly by a rotary counting-disk 29 so that the coins are thrust above the openings 26 of funnels 52. Projections 30 of the counting-disk contact with the coins and push them against arms 61 of a counting-mechanism 57, the rear edges 32 of the projections being bevelled to allow the superposed columns of coins to descend gently. The counting - disk is rotated by a handle 35 through shafts and gearing 36, 37. As the shaft 36 is rotated, a pawl 45, eccentrically mounted on a block, rotates a ratchetwheel 42 on a shaft 44 until the ratchet-wheel is arrested after a predetermined number of rotations by a stop-lever 48. Two ratchetwheels and two pawls are provided, so that the handle may be arrested after either eight or ten revolutions, according to the denomination of the coins dealt with.

Abstract: 7393. Semple Co., J. B., [Semple, J. B.]. March 24. Projectiles ; projectile fuses.-Relates to fuses operated by the pressure of the powder gases confined within a chamber in the projectile, and consists in providing locking means therefor adapted to be released by the pressure or the heat of the powder gases or by the energy derived therefrom, Fig. 2 shows the form preferred for use for igniting a ' tracer ' charge which gives a trail of smoke along the path of the projectile. The serrated rod 6 of the friction primer 5 is normally locked by a powder charge 7<a>, which is destroyed by the powder gases admitted by a hole 10 ; as soon as the projectile leaves the gun, the pressure in the chamber 20 drives the washer 8 and the rod 6 backwards and the composition 2 is ignited by the primer 5. In a modification, the igniter is released by a fusible washer. In other modifications, the igniter is released by bolts which are thrown radially outwards by the pressure of the powder gases or by centrifugal force. The tracer charge 2 is placed axially in the base of the projectile as a closing plug therefor, or in a recess in the side wall of the projectile base.
