Patent GB-190720750-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Elastic Wheels.
Inventor: AIMOND EMILE
Filed: 1907-09-18
Granted: 1908-03-26
Abstract: 20,750. Aimond, E. Sept. 18, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Spring wheels.-Relates to wheels in which metallic or non-metallic cushions are arranged between the hub and rim so as to work always in compression. A large number of feeble and sensitive springs are preferably used and arranged between overlapping hub and rim members, others being arranged to take up transverse shocks. The rim member, Figs. 1 and 2, consists of a rigid felloe b forming part of an annular box with flanges b<2> enclosing the hub member, which consists of a central disk a and channel member a<2>, 2, overlapping the rim b. Pistons c<2> with guides 3 are carried by the hub member and are each separated by many, say 45, small helical springs c, from pistons c' bearing on the inner felloe band b<1> and formed with guides 5 engaging slots in the sides 2. In action, the guides 3 leave the flanges b<2> in the lower part, and the pistons c<1> leave the band b<1> in the upper part, the springs all becoming compressed with the exception of those horizontal. The wheel is driven by the friction of the lower members c<1> with the band b<1>. In the form shown in Fig. 5, the felloe band b is formed with a web 6 separated by transverse springs d from sliding plates e, e', engaged by the sides of the hub member 2 so as to resist transverse forces, the remaining construction being unaltered.

Granted: 1908-09-10
Abstract: 20,911. Deville, E. Sept. 20. Gas and like engines.-The single-acting cylinders of a compound steam, gas, &c. engine reciprocates over stationary pistons C, C', and operate a crankshaft R by means of a connecting-rod P. The cylinders are provided with guides which slide on the piston supports and are separated by one or two partitions B. When using gas, the chamber between the two partitions acts as a cooling-chamber. The fluid is distributed by separate inlet and exhaust valves M M', L, L', arranged in the pistons, and operated by tappets Z, Z<1>, Y, Y<1> attached to levers V, V<1> which are oscillated by eccentrics T on the crank-shaft. When two partitions B are used, the crank-shaft may pass between them, and the cylinder casting slotted to receive it.
Patent GB-190800910-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Pumps for Cycles and the like.
Inventor: BETHAEUSER FERDINAND
Filed: 1908-01-14
Granted: 1908-03-26
Abstract: 910. Bethõuser, F. Jan. 14. Compressing.- Air-pumps, especially for inflating cycle tyres, and operated by means of a rotary handle or a lever, are so arranged that the handle is disconnected when the pressure reaches a certain limit. In the form shown, two pistons a, b, connected by a rod c, are operated in two cylinders d, e by a crank h and connecting-rod f. The crank h is connected with a disk n having a slot o of the form shown, with which engages a projection p with an enlarged head on the driving-handle s. In the ends of the cylinders d, e are clearance spaces m<1>, m<2>, of such size that, when the pressure in the tyre reaches the desired limit, the pistons move back when their motion is reversed faster than the crank drives them. The large end of the opening o is thus brought opposite the projection on the driving-handle. To facilitate the escape of the projection p, an inclined surface may be arranged at the back of the slot o.
