Title: Improvements in Driving, Steering and Springing Motor Cars and other Vehicles.
Inventor: RENSHAW WILLIAM JOHN
Filed: 1906-04-23
Granted: 1907-04-23
Abstract: 9464. Renshaw, W. J. April 23. Motor road vehicles adapted to move in either direction are mounted on four or more wheels which may be both steered and driven, steering being effected from either end of the vehicle ; the axles are connected to the frame of the vehicle by pivoted distance-rods, and the vehicle is mounted at each end on balance levers and a set of three springs. Figs. 1 and 2 show an elevation and plan, respectively, of an eight - wheeled vehicle. The inner axle - carriages are connected by coupling-rods A to a central bracket B supported by the frame C, while similar rods A<111> extend from the inner to the outer axles. Each set of springs consists of two side springs N and an inverted cross-spring O connected to the end of the frame by a central longitudinal pivot. The side springs N are pivotally connected to the upper rods A<111>. By varying the position of the pivot, the distribution of weight on the wheels can be adjusted. The central motor shaft E drives two or more axles through several sets of compensating or differential and chain gearing. The differential gear D transmits motion by chains to two differential gears D<1>, each of which drives the four wheels of each set through differential gears D" arranged on the axles. Steering is effected from either end of the vehicle by means of a longitudinal shaft M which operates a nut K connected by links and bell-crank levers F, F<1> to the swivelling axles, the arms F at the extreme ends of the vehicle being shorter than the other arms F, so that the outer wheels swivel through greater angles. The above arrangements may be suitably modified for vehicles having less than eight wheels.

Granted: 1907-10-10
Abstract: 22,799. Simpson, W. S. Oct. 15. Case-hardening ;cementation; tempering.-Iron or steel articles are carburized by dipping or submerging them wholly or partly, without previous heating, in molten metal, such as pig iron, containing a considerable percentage of carbon and as free as possible from other impurities, and are afterwards suddenly cooled. The article, which may in some cases be moved about in the bath, is allowed to remain in contact with the molten metal until sufficiently carburized. the time depending upon the size and shape of the article, and is then suddenly cooled by dipping into water, oil, or other material, or by spraying. In some cases, such as when treating spades, shovels, and forks, the article is immersed in very fluid pig iron long enough only to allow it to acquire the temperature of the bath, and is then withdrawn, the surplus coating of molten metal removed, and the article suddenly cooled.

Title: An Improved Fairlead for Steam Trawlers and other Vessels.
Inventor: SNOWDEN JOHN
Filed: 1907-03-30
Granted: 1907-09-12
Abstract: 7616. Snowden, J. March 30. Ropes &c., guiding; pulleys.-A pulley sheave is described for use in steam trawlers to guide the warp from the steam winches over the top sheave of the gallows frame for the purpose of hauling in the trawl. The invention consists essentially in housing the sheave in a frame with easily detachable dished sides, which protect the flanges of the sheave all round so as to prevent jamming of the rope. Means for lubricating the central pin is also shown. The bracket or frame a is formed with dished sides b, c, as shown in Fig. 1. One of the two circular dished sides b may be riveted to the side of the bracket, while the other c may be bolted to it, thus enabling the sheave to be easily withdrawn. The central pin upon which the sheave revolves may be either in the form of the usual bolt, or it may be formed with its axle an integral part of the same, and revolve in extonded bearings at each side of the bracket. This fair-lead may be fixed in any suitable position, or it may be housed in the bottom portion of the gallows frame. The base of the bracket a may be set at any angle, as shown in Fig. 3. The sides are tied together at the top by a half-circular plate f. Fig. 4 shows a modified form of sheave which makes it practically a double one, so that when one recess is worn the other may be used. Oil-holes g are provided in the bearing for lubricating purposes

Granted: 1908-04-30
Abstract: 16,051. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, and Parker, W. July 12. Field magnets; sparking, preventing.-Relates more particularly to turbo-dynamos of the continuous-current type fitted with commutation or auxiliary poles, and is applicable to motors as well as generators, and relates to the method of adapting such machines to run in parallel or to increase their stability. The commutation poles of the machine are provided with a winding consisting of a number of turns aud a fraction of a turn, so that in the case of a generator when an increase of load takes place, the commutator flux is increased, and the main flux is decreased, and in the case of a motor the commutation flux is increased and the main flux increased. The winding a, Fig. 1, which may be in addition to the ordinary winding upon the commutating poles B, B', is wound once and a half a, a<2> around each of the commutating poles, the half-turn being upon the side which the armature leaves last in its rotation. The terminals of the armature are represented by D, D' and the main terminals of the machine by C, C'. Before connecting the end of the special winding to the terminal C, the conductor may again be passed around each of the poles, as shown in Fig. 2, so that the first winding is duplicated. The two duplicate layers may be separately connected one between the terminals C, D and the other between the terminals C<1>, D<1>, and instead of employing one and a half coils upon each pole, as in Fig. 1, the half-coil only may be employed, in which case the single wire may be carried midway between the poles.

Abstract: 27,005. Collis, A., and Vickery, F. W. Dec. 6. Cutting and delivery apparatus; folding paper. -Relates to apparatus for the clamping and delivery of paper in a machine for severing sheets from a web. The paper 1 passes through nip rollers 2 over the fixed knife 3 of the cutting- device and down over a slope board 4 on to the delivery canvas 6, where it is engaged by a clamping-roller 5, a weightcontrolled roller 9 serving as a tensioning-device for the canvas 6. In a modification the roller 9 is replaced by a spring- supported rod. In another modification the roller 5 is mounted at a level slightly lower than that of the straight run of the canvas, in which case a balanced or self-adjusting roller is arranged to bear on the return run as a tensioning-member. When the clamping of the paper in the vicinity of the cutting-apparatus is not required, the roller 5 and the canvas-tensioning member are adjusted in the direction of the delivery canvas to control the delivery of the sheets.
