Filed: 1939-04-04
Abstract: 519,765. Side-car attachments. FRANKE, E. April 4, 1939, No. 10491. [Class 136 (iii)] In means for connecting a side-car to a motor or other cycle, of the type in which a change in inclination of the cycle (e.g., on a bend or on uneven ground) automatically causes a change in the inclination of the sidecar, the connections are so arranged that the change in inclination of the side-car is in the opposite direction to the change, in inclination of the cycle. Members e rigidly mounted on the cycle frame a are connected by jointed links d to the side-car frame f, and the rear member e is connected by a link or jointed stay g to a member f<1> on the frame f while the front member e is connected by a jointed diagonal stay i to the member f<1>, the stays g, i being co-planar and crossing the links d when viewed in front or rear elevation, whereby the side-car and its wheel c are given an inclination opposite to that of the cycle, as indicated in Fig. 2, the width of the wheel track being also varied.

Abstract: 274,219. M³ller, E. April 21, 1926. Back-pedalling brake and free-wheel arrangements.-In mechanism arranged within or closely associated with a free-wheel screwed on to one end of a wheel hub, a thrust collar is adapted to connect the chain wheel and hub for forward driving or to contract a brake ring on to the hub during back pedalling. 'The chain wheel 1, Figs. 1, 2, and 4, is mounted by ball bearings on the hub 2 and on the bearing ring 3 which is held against rotation by the arm 5. The thrust collar or ring 8 is provided on one side with teeth 10 which engage teeth 9 on the part 2 for driving, the drive being transmitted from the chain wheel 1 by an inward projection 11 which engages the forward end 12<1> of a recess in the thrust collar 8. During free-wheeling, the projection 11 engages the opposite end 12<11> of the recces and' the teeth 10 are disengaged from the teeth 9. The brake ring 7 is split and is held against rotation by means of teeth on the side of the bearing ring 3 which engage recesses in the ring. Back pedalling contracts the brake ring 7 on to the rotating part 2 by means of rollers 14 wedging in the recesses 13. In a modification, balls replace the rollers 14.

April 10, 1930, No. 11458. Convention date, April 11, 1929. [Class 37.] Power or reactive volt-amperes are measured, at a distance if desired, by voltage transformers connected to produce voltages proportional to the sum and difference of the current and voltage of the load circuit, rectifiers being connected to the transformer secondaries and supplying currents to the meter which are proportional to the sum and difference of the derived voltages. As shown, transformers 11-14 are connected to the supply 10, the voltage induced in the secondary windings of the transformers 12, 14 being proportional to the sum of the voltage and current of the line 10, and that induced in the secondary of transformer 13 being proportional to the difference of the voltage and current. These proportional voltages are applied to rectifiers 16, 18 in such a way that the continuous currents obtained and fed to the coils 21, 20 of a wattmeter are proportional to the sum and difference of (V+I) and (V-I). In a modification, the primary windings of transformers 12-14 are divided, one portion of each winding being connected in series across the circuit 10, the other portion of each winding being connected in series with the secondary of the transformer 11. Reactive components of the circuit can be measured by altering the line connections, or by substituting a condenser for the resistance 15. Filters 22, 23 are located in the meter coil circuits.

At the transmitter a cathode ray tube 6, Fig. 1, has arranged behind the slit-like apertures in a screen 10, a number of control electrodes 11 connected to the sources 1-4. A common anode 12 is connected to the transmission line 5. The cathode ray beam is deflected by a voltage of the form shown in Fig. 2, applied to the plates 13 from the source 14 which may be of the form described in Specification 523,441.
