Granted: 1907-03-28
Abstract: 17,847. Badois, L. Dec. 23, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1991]. Variable-speed gearing; clutches.- In a change-speed gearing specially applicable to motorcars, cycles, and machine tools, the speed variation is produced automatically by centrifugal friction clutches. A driving-shaft 1 carries a series of fixed wheels 3, 4, 5 constantly in mesh with wheels 6, 7, 8, respectively, loose on a driven shaft 2. As the shaft 1 increases in speed from rest, the wheel 6 is driven in the direction of the arrow r, Fig. 2, causing blocks 15 to become jammed between the inside of the wheel and rounded pivots 12 upon a boss 9 secured to the shaft 2, thereby clutching the wheel to the shaft 2. As the whole gear moves faster, heavy blocks 16, rotatable about pivots 13, Fig. 3, fly out centrifugally against the action of springs 19, and by jamming against the inside of the wheel 7, which is rotating as indicated by the arrow r, bring the higher gear 4, 7 into action. The blocks 15 are then held inactive by springs 18. As the gear rotates still faster, the highest gear 5, 8 comes into action in a similar manner. If the gear rotates more slowly owing to increased load, the shaft 1 is unclutched from the engine by an attendant, after which the velosity-ratio rises from its lowest to a suitable value.
