Title: Improvements in Variable Speed Gears.
Inventor: CHENEAUX EDOUARD
IPC: B62M25/00
Filed: 1910-12-14
Granted: 1911-04-27
Abstract: 29,093. Cheneaux, E. Dec. 14. Variable-speed epicyclic gearing.-Three-speed gearing comprises an epicyclic train which may operate like a balance gear or may be caused to turn solid by locking the planet pinions E, F to their spindles. The pinions E, F mesh with gears C, D, Fig. 1, which are secured to sleeves C<1>, D' turning loosely on a central fixed spindle A. Chain-wheels G, H, which are loosely mounted on the sleeves C', D', respectively, and adapted to be connected thereto alternatively by clutch bolts G<1>, H<1>, are driven at different speeds. When the pinions E, F are locked to their spindles, a hub K may be driven solid with either of the wheels G, H by pressing home either of the bolts G', H<1>. The third speed is obtained when the bolts G', H<1> are both engaged and the pinions E, F are released. The pinions E, F are secured to parts E<1>, F<1>, Fig. 2, which have holes T of polygonal shape registering with like holes T' in a spider B<1>. Polygonal clutch plungers R residing in the holes T<1> are adapted to be thrust out into engagement by a longitudinally-slidable cone U. A combination of two such arrangements yields five speed ratios.

Abstract: 7324. Bramwell, B. March 23. Fluids, regulating volume of flow of.-The proportional addition of one or more liquids to another which is passing through a Venturi pipe, for example the addition of a chemical solution to water, is controlled by the difference of actual flow or weights of liquid passed through orifices connected respectively upstream and at the throat of the Venturi pipe. As shown, the pipes e, f connected to the Venturi pipe are provided with valves or regulatable orifices x, w, and discharge into vessels g, h respectively, which are connected by a rope or chain passing round a pulley k. The vessels have outlets i, j and discharge at rates depending on the height to which they are filled. Their relative position is regulated by a counterweight s suspended on a cord or chain q passing round a cam r on the shaft of the pulley. The motion of the shaft is communicated by a cord z to a swivelling pipe m to regulate the depth of the inlet end of the pipe m below the surface of the liquid to be added, which is maintained at a constant level in the tank n. The liquid flowing through the pipe m is passed into the liquid in the Venturi pipe by means of a pump p. To ensure that the end of the pipe m shall be above the liquid in the tank n when the flow in the Venturi pipe stops, a pulley l around which the cord z passes, is provided with a projection l<1>. If the pressure in one of the pipes e, f is constant, the corresponding vessel g, h may be replaced by a weight. A modification is described in which the vessels g, h are attached to the opposite arms of a lever, the weight s being dispensed with.
