Granted: 1904-04-07
Abstract: 8203. Livesey, H. April 8. Motor road vehicles.-Consists of improvements in the construction of combined epicyclic and bevel-toothed speed-changing and reversing mechanism, the object being to arrange the toothed gearing in a compact manner and enclose it in a dustproof case. The motor shaft 1, Fig. 1, parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle drives the transverse shafts 3, 3<a>, which are connected together by ordinary differential gearing 29, 30, 31, the chain-wheels 44 being carried by the shafts 3, 3<a>. The shaft 1 revolves loosely in the sleeve 5, which is fitted at the outer end with one part 7 of a friction clutch, the other part 7<a> of the clutch being attached to the shaft 1. The inner end of the sleeve carries a flange 8, to which is attached the bevel-wheels 9, 10. The spur-wheels 22 shown also in Fig. 4, are mounted on pins 22 journalled in the flange 8 and the wheel 10, the wheel 22 gearing with the wheel 23 and with the internally-toothed ring 11 mounted on the wheel 10. The ring 11 is surrounded by a band 13, which can be tightened to hold the ring by means of the eccentric rods 15. The wheels 9, 10 gear with the wheels 32 running loosely on'the sleeve 26, but either of the wheels can be connected to a ring 34 fixed to the sleeve, by means of the projections 39, 39<a> engaging recesses 35,36 formed in the ring 34, engagement being effected by means of forked levers fitting grooves cut in the sleeves 37, 38. To the sleeve 26 is attached the gear case 28 carrying the wheel 29 of the differential gearing. The bevel-wheel 42 is fixed to the case, and can be slid into gear with the wheel 9 by means of the forked lever 41, so that a reverse movement of the shafts 3, 3<a> can be obtained to that when the case is driven through the medium of either of the wheels 32. By disconnecting the clutch 7, 7<a> and the band brake 13, the shaft 1 revolves idly, but by holding the ring 11, the bovel wheels 9, 10 are slowly revolved through the medium of the wheels 23, 22, the sleeve 26 being driven through either of the wheels 32. By disconnecting the band brake 13 and connecting the friction brake 7, 7<a>, a faster speed is obtained. A slightly modified form of gear, working on the same principle, but differing in some details, is also described in the Specification.

Title: An Improved Suspending Device.
Inventor: HAMPTON CHARLES HENRY
Filed: 1903-06-24
Granted: 1903-08-13
Abstract: 14,070. Hampton, C. H. June 24. Hooks.-A suspending-device for holding keys and other articles in such a manner that any one may be removed without removing those in front of it consists of a hook e, Figs. 1 and 2, and a guard c which are mounted on a plate a for attachment to a wall &c. The guard c is cut away to receive the taperei end f of the hook e, so that the two inner surfaces form a continuous curve as shown in Fig. 2. The keys &c. are hung on loops i of string &c. When a key is pulled slightly to one side and then pulled upwards quickly, the loops i in front of it move up on to the guard c while its own loop slips off between the guard c and the point f. The guard and hook may otherwise consist of two bent pieces j, l, Figs. 3 and 4, of wire. The guard j as before is bent down to form a continuous curve with the inner surface of the hook l and is then bent outwards and downwards as shown in Fig. 4. The distance between the limbs of the guard j may be sufficiently great to allow the point of the hook l to project into it to form the continuous curve without bending the guard as in Fig. 4, and in this case the limbs may be flattened slightly to render them springy. The device may be formed entirely from one piece of wire so bent as to obviate the use of the wallplate a.

Title: Improved Means of Securing Tyres to the Felloes or Rims of Wheels.
Inventor: MCMULLEN JOSEPH BEN
Filed: 1904-01-01
Granted: 1904-12-01
Abstract: 83. McMullen, J. B. Jan. 1. Tyres, pneumatic; felloes or rims. -Wheels having pneumatic tyres are constructed with a detachable flange plate furnished with studs which engage with keyholes cut in the felloe, the flange plate being locked by circumferential movement. The felloe A, Fig. 4, of the wheel is formed with the flange ring B permanently secured in place and the rim plate D fastened to the flange B by countersunk bolts E, Fig. 5. The plate D has winged keyhole slots, Figs. 7 and 4, cut at intervals, the inner side d<2> of these grooves being inclined. The removable flange plate F has studs G fixed at intervals, the heads G<1> engaging with the keyholes. The flange F may be locked by moving it circumferentially whereby the heads of the studs S<1> ascend the inclined surfaces d<2> and thus clasp the flange and felloe firmly together, Fig. 3. By means of the wedge I passing through slots K cut in the felloe, and slots K<1> cut in the flange and working against the abutment pieces J, the flange F may be forced into and out of locking communication with the felloe and, when locked, may be prevented from working loose either by the clamping- screw H passing through the plate B and pressing at its point against the inner side of the flange F, Fig. 6, or by the screw J<1> passing into the abutment block J. In conjunction with the latter, a locking- plate L having a block L<1> to fit in the space between the abutment J and the flange plate F, Fig. 10, may be used.

Granted: 1904-06-30
Abstract: 8639. Shaw, T. April 15. L o o m picking- motions.-The picker N<1> is connected by a link N to an arm M fixed at the top of a vertical shaft K, which is mounted at the back of the shuttle box L. A toothed segment of a wheel J, fixed on the bottom end of the shaft K, gears with a toothed segment formed on a short lever H which is pivoted on the lay I. At each alternate backward movement of the lay, the lever H is struck by a bowl G on a bell-crank lever E, which is oscillated by an adjustable tappet made in two parts C, C<1> and fixed on the tappet shaft, the shaft K is partially turned, and the picker propels the shuttle from the box. The lever H is checked by a buffer spring attached to the lay-sword, and the picker is returned by a spring acting on the shaft K. Looms, checking shuttles in; shuttle-relief motions. -The shuttle is checked as it enters the box L by a flat spring Q fixed inside the back of the box. As the spring Q is forced back by the shuttle, an incline on its projecting end acts on an incline on a sliding rod R, which is moved longitudinally against the action of a spring S. When the incline on the spring Q has passed over that on the rod R, it is locked thereby, so that all pressure is taken from the shuttle while it is picked. The spring Q is released by a small cam T on the shaft K acting on a lug U on the rod R. Instead of the end of the spring Q projecting through the back of the box, the incline on the rod R may be formed on a projection which passes through the back of the box, so that a straight bar R and practically straight spring Q may be used.

Abstract: 8854. Hurst, J. April 18. Spindle apparatus ; winding-on motions.-To enable low-class cotton &c. to be spun on continuous spinning-machines so as to produce a yarn as fine, or as soft, as can be produced by a mule, a double spindle is employed. The spindle is constructed with an outer tubular part a a driven by a hand and wharl, and a spindle e freely mounted within it. A boss formed on, or fixed to, the part a has forked arms d to embrace and drive the flyer l, which is mounted to slide on the part a, and is reciprocated by a rail to build the cop on the upper part of the spindle e. This spindle is rotated, relatively to the part a, to wind on the yarn, by a ring g, which is mounted in a reciprocating lifter rail and has a lug g<1> projecting through a vertical slot in the part a. A pin h passes through the lug and engages one of two spiral grooves f <11> cut in a sleeve f on the spindle e, the terminations of the grooves being formed so that the pin h slides up one and down the other, thereby imparting rotation in one direction only to the sleeve. This rotation is transmitted to the spindle by a projection on a sleeve i, which can be lowered so that the projection passes through a recess in a collar on the spindle e and into a notch in the sleeve, or raised to stop the spindle by means of a sliding collar on the part a. A spring arm on the end of the pin h is actuated at each end of the traverse by fixed guides so that it is directed from one groove in the sleeve to the other.

Title: Improvements in Weight Indicating and Weight Recording Scales.
Inventor: GOETZ GEORGE
Filed: 1904-12-02
Granted: 1905-07-13
Abstract: 26,271. Goetz, G. Dec. 2. Spring apparatus; printing-devices; platform machines; indicating and registering mechanism; weighing-apparatus combined with printing-apparatus.-The balance spring is connected with the long arm of the scale beam B, Fig. 5, by a clevis b<1>, screw-threaded couplings, and a rod b<3> which is connected above the beam to a rod b<10>. These rods carry rack teeth which engage with pinions on the indicating-pointer and type-carrying wheel axles respectively. The latter axle is mounted on large friction-wheels carried by smaller wheels D<3>, Fig. 6. The indicating- pointer axle is mounted similarly. The balance spring 0 passes through the upper end of a piece C<4>, by rotating which the effective length of the spring is varied. The tension of the spring and the positions of the racks are varied by moving the cross-piece C<5> vertically, or by twisting the couplings C<5>. The scale beam is made dead-beat by connecting the end B<2>, Fig. 5, with a dash-pot piston-rod g, the plunger G', Fig. 15, of which is provided with two upwardly-opening and two downwardly-opening valves, all closed by light flat springs g<3>. The recording web or tape is drawn from a reel J, by a spring motor and train of wheels, over the type-carrying wheel and a stationary indicator, and under a carbon-paper disc I belt-geared to one of the tape-guiding rollers. The printing is effected by impact of a hammer head H, padded with soft and faced with hard sheet rubber. The pivoted hammer shaft is released by a tumbler H<3>, drawn back by a hand-actuated slide H<8>, and in falling the hammer rocks a lever which momentarily frees a cam on one of the guidewheels and allows the spring motor to advance the web. The slide H<8> is returned by the spring H<12> and so lifts the hammer by the arm H<13>. The typecarrying wheel is built up of a rim F<2>, Fig. 13, and channel-section spokes with brazed solid ends one end of each spoke being shouldered and the other screw-threaded for reception in the rim and the tapped flanges of the hub F<3> respectively. A copper strip f<1>, with raised or embossed types, is brazed to the rim, which is trued by tightening the spokes. The wheel is accurately balanced by removing or adding metal to the rim &c.
