Granted: 1908-07-16
Abstract: 16,599. Parsons, C. A., Stoney, G. G., and Bennett, E. July 19. Reflectors.-Glass, silicon, or like reflectors for search-lights &c. are so constructed that, if broken, the pieces are retained in proper reflecting position; in some cases, the retaining-means consists of a clamping-ring by means of which a strain may be put on the glass to strengthen it. In its simplest form, pieces of wire netting, interlaced strips or rods of metal, or expanded metal are incorporated in the glass. As shown in Fig. 3, the glass a is secured to a backing e by means of screws or rivets d, which may be provided with springs, and the holes through which the screws pass may be joined by cut lines along which the fracture, if any, will occur, and similar lines may be cut in other forms. Cement may be used to connect the reflectors described above to a backing, or a plain reflector may be cemented to a backing by a cement which may be highly viscous to allow of expansion of the backing or reflector. The reflector may be strengthened by a ring h, Fig. 7, which compresses the glass ; by a backing of strained wire netting secured to a metal ring similar to the ring h; or by a strained metal backing secured to a contractible ting. As shown in Fig. 27, the reflector is compressed by cranked rods c which grip the edge of the reflector, and are recured at their inner hooked ends by means of a wire ring z; or the rods are connected to an inner ring by screws and nuts. and, if necessary, springs. In a further modification, the reflector is formed of a number of small plain or curved pieces, secured by clips like the sections of stained windows, and yieldingly supported by a backing. Or the sections a, Fig. 19, may be separately mounted in lead, brass, or like frames i, of triangular or hexagonal shape, and fixed separately to a backing e. Or the separate pieces may be screwed, riveted, or otherwise secured to a backing, and cement, asbestos, springs, &c. may be placed between the pieces and the backing.

Title: Automatic Brake Mechanism applicable to Velocipedes, Motor Cars and other Wheeled Vehicles.
Inventor: LEWIS BENJAMIN
Filed: 1907-07-23
Granted: 1908-07-02
Abstract: 16,864. Lewis, B., and Chick, W. E. July 23. Brakes.-The brakes of velocipedes, motor-cars, &c. are applied by springs which are released automatically when the speed of the vehicle reaches a predetermined limit by centrifugally moving weights rotating with the wheel. Fig. 1 shows the apparatus applied to the ordinary hand-operated brake of a cycle. An arm H, pivoted at K to the back fork of the cycle, has one end connected at M to the brake rod S<2> while the other end rides in a groove N<1> formed in a connecting-rod N, which is integral with a sliding rod 0 supported in brackets O<1> attached to the fork. The rod 0 has a collar O<2>, between which and one of the brackets O<1> is placed a spiral spring P normally held in compression by means of a catch Q which engages with a groove Q<1>, Fig. 3, in the rod. The catch Q is pivoted to one of the brackets O<1>, and is provided with a slotted piece Q<3>, in which a block Q<4> may be adjustably secured. A spring Q<6> normally keeps the catch in its groove. A radial bar A, supported between two wheel spokes by bars B, carries a sliding weight E and a spring F. As the speed of the cycle increases, the weight moves outwards against the action of the spring F until it is in a position to strike the adjustable block Q<4> as the wheel rotates, whereupon the catch Q is released and the spring P applies the brake. To re-set the catch Q, the ordinary brake lever is moved to operate the upper part S of the brake rod which has a pin-and-slot connexion with a link R connected to the rod N. To enable this movement to be effected, the rod S<2> is capable of sliding in the rod S, a pin U moving to the forward end of its slot V when the brake is applied by the spring P. When used for motor-cars, a cable or other connexion may be attached to the catch Q to enable the brake to be applied, if necessary, by operating a button inside the car.
