Title: Improvements in or relating to Variable Speed Mechanism, particularly for Cycles and the like
Filed: 1906-03-23
Granted: 1906-06-21
Abstract: 7022. Humber, Ltd., and Biggs, T. J. March 23. Variable-speed gearing.-In the type of variable-speed driving-gear for motor and other cycles in which two sliding sun pinions are separately operated to effect the changes of speed, the pinions are connected with a reciprocating rod or the like by a device which ensures the separate movement of either sun pinion in both directions. As shown in Figs. 6 and 7, this device comprises a pair of links G, which, respectively, engaging grooves e in the sun pinions A, A' by projections G<1>, are disposed side by side and rest upon the crosspin D'. For the normal speed, the sun pinions are clutched together by teeth a<1> and the gear turns as a whole.. To obtain the low speed, the operating-rod D is moved to the left so that the cross-pin, engaging the inturned projection G<3> of the link connected to the sun pinion A<1>, causes this pinion to be moved into engagement with teeth upon a stationary clutch-piece C' and the hub is driven through the teeth B<2> and pinions B<1>. For the high speed, the rod is moved to the extreme right, when the cross-pin comes into contact with the projection G<3> of the other link and causes the pinion A to be moved into engagement with the teeth of a clutchpiece C. Meanwhile, the pinion A' has been returned to its normal position by a spring E', but, should this spring fail to act, the engagement of the cross-pin with a projection G upon the link of the pinion A<1> brings this pinion out of engagement with its stationary clutch teeth. The hub is then driven through the pinions B and an internal ring of teeth H<1>. A corresponding spring E and projection G<2> are provided in connexion with the sun pinion A.

Granted: 1906-08-09
Abstract: 12,939. Michell, J. N. June 2. Safety-suspending or retaining apparatus for lifts, mine cages, hoists, elevators, and the like comprises guided pivoted gripping-arms having teeth which engage the fixed guides should the winding-rope be severed. The gripping-levers E, Figs. 1 and 3, are pivoted on shafts d mounted on brackets attached to a plate a on the top of the cage. The pair of. levers on each side of the cage are connected by cross-bars H, to which the ends of the curved laminated spring G are secured. The toothed ends of the gripping-levers on the side remote from the guides are made wedge-shaped, and have lateral extensions e<3>, while the inner ends may be bevelled ito correspond with the inclination of the guides M. Ropes or chains K, secured to the shackle I, pass through holes in the spring and plate a, and thence round guide-pulleys mounted on brackets depending from the cage, being secured at their outer ends to the spring. Should the winding - rope break, the shackle I falls by gravity, thereby loosening the ropes or chains K. The spring is thus free to force the outer ends of the gripping- levers upwards, while inclined guides L force them inwards against the guides F. The levers are held in the gripping position by fixed cross-bars N which engage the bevelled outer surfaces at the toothed ends of the gripping-levers, while the projections e<3> act as stops and prevent the levers from being forced inwards too far. The guides L, M may engage the inner surfaces of the gripping-levers instead of the outer surfaces as shown, and helical or other springs may be mounted on the shafts d, between the gripping-levers, to keep them apart.
