Granted: 1913-04-10
Abstract: 12,172. Crompton, R. E. B., and Tapp, E. T. J. May 22. Rollers, road.-To avoid the formation of an undulating surface when rolling roads &c., the weight of the roller is distributed over more than two axles, the adjacent pairs of which are unequally spaced apart. Fig. 1 illustrates diagrammatically a machine with three axles, each bearing about one-third of the weight and each carrying one roller ; or the middle axle may have one large roller and each end axle two rollers; or the middle axle may have two large rollers, single ones of smaller diameter being mounted on the end axles. In all cases the tracks of the rollers overlap. The machine is steered by both end axles, and is driven by the centre or, in some cases, by all the rollers, the drive being transmitted to the steering-rollers by means of bevels or flexible couplings or the like. The centre axle is given vertical play for uneven surfaces, this play being confined to the downward direction so that a drive is always assured and greater pressure is brought to bear on the high points of uneven surfaces; or the end axles may be given vertical play confined to the upward direction for the same purposes. Means are provided for varying the inclination of the axis about which the front and rear steering- axles pivot when rolling banked surfaces, so that all the rollers may rest squarely on the surface. One modification of these means is shown in Fig. 10, in which the inclination of the steering- head n is varied by means of an arm m rigidly connected thereto and screw o; other modifications of these means are described.

Abstract: 8255. Pitter, W. C. April 8. Conveying rotary motion.-Relates to powertransmission apparatus for conveying rotary motion, of the kind in which a pendulum is employed, and comprises an arrangement in which a resilient pendulum bar or rod is oscillated between buffers by which the pendulum rod is distorted in order to accumulate energy for the driving stroke. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the pendulum-like device comprises a resilient bar 2 pivotally supported at the upper end 3 and adjustably carrying a weight 4. The free oscillation of the bar 2 is restricted by adjustable buffer plates 6, so that when actuated by a driving-shaft 1 the bar 2 is flexed and then rebounds to drive a shaft 8 through ratchet gearing 7. The pendulum bar 2 may alternatively be constrained by plates 9 adjustably clamped to upright pillars, or the supporting connexion 3 may be a fixed one. Power may be transmitted to the driven element. from the upper part X of the bar 2. A number of such devices may be arranged to transmit a continuous drive between the shafts 1, 8.
