Patent GB-191104252-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Shock Absorbing Devices.
Inventor: PECKHAM LUTHER ANDREW
IPC: F16F7/02
Filed: 1911-02-20
Granted: 1912-02-15
Abstract: 4252. Peckham, L. A. Feb. 20. Vibration-dampers.-Relates to shock-absorbing devices for automobiles and other vehicles, of the type in which co-operating friction elements are employed allowing a relatively free movement in one direction and an opposed movement in the other direction of a graduallydecreasing character, the invention consisting in an arrangement whereby the friction members are brought into close contact during the free movement, relative sliding taking place during the opposite movements, and in the details of construction. In the form shown in Fig. 9, the body portion of the device comprises a rotatable drum 4 mounted freely on a stud 11 and engaged by a friction band 19 formed integral with a plate 10, the face of which has a series of stepped or inclined surfaces 8, as shown in Fig. 5. A plate 5<a>, Fig. 6. has corresponding surfaces 9, and is keyed at 14 to the stud 11 so as to allow of end motion under the action of a spring 40. The stud 11 is prevented from rotating by a projection 13 engaging a recess in the bracket 12. A ratchetwheel 42 is keyed to the stud, and a pawl 43, pivoted to the drum 4, permits the drum to rotate only in one direction. An arm attached to the band 19 is secured bv ball-and-socket joints to the chains 1, Fig. 1, and the bracket 12 is attached to the spring 2. As the arm 22 descends, the drum 4 is rotated, the pawl moves idly over the ratchet teeth, and the plate 5<a> is forced outwards against the action of its spring, thus increasing the frictional resistance between the plates 5<a> and 8, and hence the resistance between the surfaces 7, 21. As the arm 22 ascends, the pawl prevents backward motion of the drum, and thus relative motion ensues between the surfaces 21, 7 on the band 19 and drum 4 respectively, this resistance decreasing as the plate 5<a> returns to its normal position laterally. Roller clutches, as shown in Fig. 1, may be substituted for the ratchet clutches. The hollow arm 22 and hollow members 24, 25, 31 permit the passage of grease or other lubricant to the working parts. In a modified arrangement, the friction is obtained by means of two series of friction plates 52, 55, Fig. 11, the series 52 being keyed to the drum 48, and the series 55 to the stud 51. The band 47 rotates the drum in one direction only, through a roller clutch device 58. The plate 50, slidably keyed to the stud 51, and the plate 49 of the band 47 are each supplied with a series of coacting inclined surfaces, which under the action of the spring 59<1> vary the pressure between the disks 52, 55. A pointer may be attached to the nut 41, Fig. 1, and the outer face of the plate 5<a> may be graduated, to provide a means of indicating the tension to which each of the devices is adjusted.
