Title: Improvements in Devices for Securing or Locking Nuts.
Inventor: BRITTAN FREDERICK WILLIAM
Filed: 1903-10-02
Granted: 1904-08-04
Abstract: 21,164. Brittan, F. W., and Cross, L. H. Oct. 2. Locking nuts.- The nut g, Fig. 5, is locked in position by means of two washers. One washer a, Fig. 1, has notches band studs c; the other consists of two parts. The pins c of the part a, Figs. 3 and 4, pass through the upper part e, the spring tongue f of which projects through and beneath the space t of the part d. The washers a and d, e, Fig. 5, are first placed over the bolt h and the nut g then screwed down until the pins c are embedded in the nut and work-piece k, and the nut and washers lie flush. The tongue f locks the nut by preventing relative motion of the washers, which may be protected by a cap or safety seal s, which is destroyed when the locking-device is to be released. In a modification, two notched washers a are locked in position by a plate having two spring pawls or tongues f. The washer a may be provided with a ring of indented ratchet teeth m, Fig. 10. For securing a railway fishplate in position, the lower washer may have a projecting rib to fit into the usual slot at the side of the bolt head, the upper washer having pins c to engage with the nut.

Granted: 1903-11-19
Abstract: 22,386. Winton, A. Oct. 16. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to toothed gearing arranged for speed-changing or reversing in motor road vehicles and for other purposes. The motordriven shaft 3 continually drives a countershaft 7 through wheels 4, 8. The shaft 7 carries a change-speed gear-wheel 8<1> and a wheel 9 which constantly drives a wheel 10 mounted on a stud. The driving-shaft 2 has a bearing 5 in the centre of the wheel 4 and has a clutch 19 for engaging with a clutch 20 on the wheel 4 for top-speed driving. The shaft 2 carries a wheel 12 attached to the clutch 19 and moved on the feather 14 by the fork 17. The wheel 12 is brought into gear with the wheel 8<1> for low speed and into gear with the wheel 10 for reversal. The changegear wheels have the ends of the teeth staggered, as shown in the wheels 8<1>, 12, when engagement is to be made or broken from either side, but when from one side only, as in wheel 10, only one side of the wheel has the teeth staggered.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Speed Changing Gear.
Inventor: HACKBLOCK ARTHUR
Filed: 1904-08-12
Granted: 1905-02-02
Abstract: 17,574. Hackblock, A., and Scotton, W. H. Aug. 12. Motor road vehicles.- In speed-changing gear for motor road vehicles, the hollow driving-shaft a, Fig. 1, has toothed wheels g loosely mounted upon it which engage with toothed wheels h fixed to the shaft d. Each wheel g, kept in position by sleeves, collars, or distancepieces e, is formed or combined with a bored flange g<1> and has internal teeth, preferably rounded, formed within the bore of its hub. The wheels g are keyed to the shaft as desired by means of a bar f which slides in the hollow shaft a. The barf, Figs. 1 and 9, is formed with an angular projecting piece f<2> and a recess f<3> at or near its middle, and a somewhat similar projection and recess f<4>, f<5> and a collar f<1> at its ends. The wheels g have driving- keys c which slide up and down in slots cut under the wheels in the shaft a. Each key has an oblong slot with bevelled edges c', at the top and bottom, Fig. 11, by means of which the key is lifted by the projection f<2> when the bar f is moved, so that the teeth of the key engage the internal teeth of the wheel g. The wheel g is thus locked to the driving- shaft, the movement of the bar f at the same time withdrawing any other driver from engagement with its wheel. The end projection may be used for forcing the end driver into engagement with its wheel, providing that the projections are so spaced that only one wheel g is locked to the driving-shaft a at a time. A crosshead i, Figs. 1 and 5, is mounted on a ballrace bearing i<2> at the end of the sliding bar f, which revolves while the crosshead remains stationary. Pintles at the side of the crosshead fit into the double arm of a lever j connected by the crosshead i<3> to the bar m, which slides in the guides of the gear box n, and lever k. The sliding bar may be actuated directly by hand, or by a screw or gearing, and arrested in position for various speeds by springs l combined with the crosshead i<3> and shifting-bar m, a quadrant k<1> indicating the position of the lever j for particular speeds. The shaft d, to which are keyed or otherwise attached the wheels h spaced by hubs h', may constitute the driving shaft.

Granted: 1905-01-19
Abstract: 22,419. Bohn, T. W. C. Oct. 18. Filing papers. - Relates to leaf-inserters for loose-leaf binders. Fig. 1 shows a leaf placed within the inserter, and Fig. 4 a section of a loose-leaf binder, having three transverse rods, with the leaf-inserter in position. The inserter may be adapted to a binder having any number of rods. A sheet of material is folded upon itself along the line 1, Fig. 1, and cut away on both halves at 5, and at the spaces 10, which may be of any shape. The two lower edges of the sheets 2, 3 are cut away to form the openings 6<a>, 7<a>, the mouths of the openings 7<a> being flared outwards on the sheet 3 at the points 8. The sheet 3 is provided with a handle and a lug 11 to facilitate the insertion of the leaf 12, which has openings 13, 14, on its lower edge. When inserted, the upper edge of the leaf lies along the line 1, and the openings 13, 14 are coincident with the openings 7<a>, 6<a> in the inserter. The inserter containing the leaf is driven into the binder 18, until its lower edges are in contact with the back of the binder, and in such a position that the openings 13, 14 in the leaf embrace the three transverse rods 15, 16, 17, Fig. 4, of the binder. The leaf 12 is then held in position by suitable means at the opening 9 and the inserter withdrawn. The shape of the openings 13 is adapted to the section of the rods 15, 17.

Lamp holders 17 are clamped in place by screwed rings 9, and flanged insulating bases 11 are supported in them by bent conducting strips 19, 21, which also serve to connect the plunger contacts 16 to the plates 18, 20, in the manner shown in Fig. 3. For fixing the supply wires, and for inspecting the interior, the bottom lamp holder 29 is arranged to be removable from below, by providing it with lugs which can be pushed up through slots in the casing ; the holder is then fixed by giving it a partial turn and tightening. the screwed ring 9. Contact between the plates 18, 20 and the lamp is made by spring plungers constructed as shown in Fig. 5. In a modified form of rose in which there is no removable lamp holder, the casing is removably attached to a fixed plate by a button-and-slot connexion, and the supply wires are screwed to the upper sides of the conducting plates. In a third form, the casing is removably attached to a fixed insulating base by spurs which engage in grooves in a metal rim surrounding the base, and the conducting plates carry bent strips which engage with spring terminals on the base, so as to make connexion with the supply mains whenever the casing is in position.
