Title: An Improved Resilient Suspension Device for Vehicle Bodies.
Inventor: EGAN BERNARD JAMES
IPC: B60G11/00
Filed: 1912-06-08
Granted: 1913-08-08
Abstract: 13,497. Egan, B. J. June 8, 1911, [Convention date]. Springs, mounting bodies on; guiding vertical play.-Relates to vehicle spring-suspension devices of the kind comprising two levers having their upper ends loosely connected to the chassis, and their lower ends pivoted to a bracket on the axle, with compression springs arranged to oppose the relative movements of the levers. The invention consists (1) in providing one or more plates loosely mounted between or integral with the levers, with compression springs between the plate or plates and the bracket on the axle and (2) in providing in combination with the above, means for preventing undue oscillation of the axle. Many modifications are described. In the type shown in Fig. 1, the levers 58 are pivotally connected at their upper ends to the chassis and turn on a common pivot on a bracket 59 fixed to the axle 3 against the action of springs 63 arranged between the bracket 59 and a plate 61 attached to the levers 58 by links 62, which may be adjustable in position on the levers 58 and may be resilient. In a modification, the plate 61 slides under rollers on the levers 58. In the form shown in fragmentary view in Fig. 14, the links 148 are each pivoted to a separate plate 150, between which and the bracket on the axle the compression springs 63 are placed. The underside of any of the plates may be serrated as shown in Fig. 18, so that the links connecting them to the levers 58 may be adjusted in position by placing the bolt 157 attaching the link to the plate in any one of the serrations. In the form shown in Fig. 4, each lever 120 has a plate integral with it at its lower end, and the springs 123 rest between these plates and the top of a frame 125 rigidly secured to the axle. As shown in Fig. 5, the levers 58 may be connected to the chassis by a spring shackle comprising a pair of rods 44, 45 arranged scissorsfashion and having a compression spring between them. In order to prevent undue rocking of the axle, the bracket 59 may carry a pivoted rod 140, Fig. 11, directly pivoted to the upper end of one of the levers, or resiliently mounted on the lever or on the chassis. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also numerous forms of vehicle and cycle saddle suspension devices in which the vehicle or saddle is mounted upon an arrangement of levers or links, the relative movements of which are opposed by resilient means. It also includes several spring shackles comprising arrangements of levers and links similar to the above-mentioned suspension devices but adapted for connecting the laminar suspension springs of vehicles to the vehicle frame. With some exceptions, these devices are described in the divided Specifications 13,195/13, 13,196/13, 13,197/13, [Class 108 (iii), Springs &c.], and 16,314/13. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Filed: 1912-08-01
Granted: 1913-05-15
Abstract: 17,808. Mead, F. W. Aug. 1. Variable-speed friction gearing. - A friction variable-speed gear of the type having inside and outside cones capable of being engaged at different points is so arranged that in one position of the cones the gearing constitutes an ordinary friction clutch. For this purpose the outside cone D can be moved axially and also tilted so as to take up a position such as that shown in Fig. 3. Fig. 1 shows the gearing acting as a cone clutch. To allow the inner cone B to follow the movement of the outer cone, it is mounted on spring arms O and a spring ring P, or the cone B may be mounted on a universal joint. As an alternative, a thin cone may be used rigidly fixed to the shaft A. The functions of the cones may be reversed, the inner one being traversed and tilted to alter the speed ratio.

Filed: 1913-11-11
Granted: 1914-08-20
Abstract: 25,786. Boult, W. S. Nov. 11. Clinometers.-In a clinometer of the pendulum type, the movement due to accelerated motion of the vehicle on which the instrument is mounted is neutralized by automatic horizontal transference of weight. In the form shown in Fig. 1, two vessels G containing mercury are connected by horizontal tubes H and are mounted on the pendulum D pivoted at E. When the velocity of the vehicle varies, mercury is transferred from one vessel to the other, and this motion counteracts the tendency to move the bob F. The normal motion of the hob F may be damped by a piston moving in a dash-pot J. In the form shown in Fig. 2, two weights R, connected by a spring T and slidable along a rod S, are mounted on the horizontal part L of the pendulum, which has stops at its ends. One of these weights moves inwards when the velocity varies, and produces the compensating effect. In this form, the bob F could be dispensed with by inverting the pendulum and suspending it from the axis E'. In a further form, the compensating-weight is a second pendulum pivoted in an upward extension of the main pendulum and acted on by a U -shaped spring embracing it ; while in a further form, two upwardly projecting arms with weights at their ends are pivoted at the ends of an horizontal part of the pendulum and are connected by a spring.

Starting; turning-gear.-An electric motor a simultaneously turns the engine through epicyclic gearing (not shown) and a pinion c and fly-wheel d, and drives an air-pump m through the pinion c and pinion f; the pump forces air through an auxiliary carburettor to charge the cylinders at atmospheric pressure, the pump displacement being equal to the cylinder displacement in a given time. The pipe leading from the auxiliary carburettor to the engine is controlled by a valve which is opened simultaneously with the movement of the fork e, which puts the pinion c into gear. The pump is driven by the electric motor only when the engine is being turned.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Circular Knitting Machines.
Inventor: STIBBE GODFREY
IPC: D04B13/02
Filed: 1914-03-14
Granted: 1914-06-25
Abstract: 6503. Stibbe, G. March 14. Circular machines.-Relates to means, for use more particularly in multi-feed machines for making tubular or ' French ' welts, to obviate the breakage of yarn which is liable to occur on the resumption of rib-knitting owing to the cylinder needles trapping the yarn when they first come again into work. In one construction, means are provided to change the position of the dial knitting-point in relation to the cylinder knitting-point at the time of welt-formation, so that coacting needles knit at approximately the same point. To effect this, the dial knitting-cams at the feeds where the cylinder needles cease to knit during weltformation may consist of two-members 1, 2, the member 1 being pivotally mounted in the dial cap on a pin 4 and carrying a block 5 to engage a slot 6 in a plate 3, which carries the knitting- cam proper 2. When welt-knitting is started, the cam 2 is slid up to the cam 1 by a bar 7, which is pivoted at 8 to a lug on the plate 3. The other end is attached to a vertical lever 9 pivoted to the cam box. There may be a number of these levers 9 round the cylinder, and they are actuated by blocks 11 on a sliding ring 12 mounted on the machine bed. The ring 12 is rotated from a wheel 21 on the pattern shaft 22, carrying stops 20 through a rocker 18 and a bell-crank 13. The bell-crank arm 13<a> acts by means of a blade spring 15 on a pin 16 carried on the ring 12. The movement of the ring 12 does not, however, occur until a cam 27 on a plate 28 rotating with the needle cylinder trips a catch device 29, 31, 32, 23, 25. The ring 12 and the cams 2 are thus advanced for welt-knitting and for a short period after ordinary rib-knitting has been resumed, the reverse movement of the ring being suitably timed for this purpose. The cams are also moved radially during welt-knitting to draw longer loops. The object of the invention may also be effected by means of a swivelling device 38, the cam end 43 of which may be moved into and out of the path of the dial needles immediately before the resumption of rib-knitting to cause these needles to draw longer loops than they otherwise would.
