Title: Improvements in or connected with Driving and Brake Gear for Motor Vehicles
Inventor: JACKSON JOHN CHARLES
Filed: 1906-03-24
Granted: 1907-03-14
Abstract: 7098. Jackson, J. C. March 24. Variable speed gearing.- Relates to motor vehicles with friction-disk gearing, and comprises means for bringing the friction wheel into gear with the engine fly-wheel, traversing it for varying the speed, and for throwing it out of gear and applying the brake. Fig. 2 shows a side elevation, and Fig. 3 a plan of the gearing. The friction wheel c is mounted to slide laterally on a shaft c<1> mounted in swinging bearings connected by thrust rods to arms on a rock-shaft d. One d<2> of these arms is connected by a spring link f to the hand-lever e<2>, by the adjustment of which the wheel c may be pressed into engagement with the face of the engine fly-wheel b. The arm d<2> is also connected by a link e<5> to a second arm on the lever e<2>, and by a link h to a pedal h<2> by either of which disengagement may be effected. The handlever e<2> is also arranged so that when pushed forward to disengage the friction wheel by a further movement it operates the brake through the flexible connector g<2>. On the same axis as the lever e<2> is mounted a second hand-lever i<12>, which, through a ball-jointed link i<8>, is capable of imparting movement to an horizontally moving lever i<4> by which the wheel c is traversed across the face of the wheel b for varying the speed and reversing. The sprocket-wheel j through which motion is communicated from the shaft c<1> to the road wheels is loose on the shaft, but can be clutched thereto by the clutch j<1>, k<1>. This is normally kept in engagement by a spring, but provision is made for putting it out of action when required by turning the handle k<3> across the lugs c<3*>.

Abstract: 9100. Mills, B. J. B., [Soc. Anon. des Plaques et Papiers Photographiques A. LumiÞre et ses fils]. April 17. Drawings to Specification. Sensitized plates for colour photography are described, of the type described in Specifications Nos. 22,988 and 25,718, A.D. 1904, in which a layer of coloured particles is interposed between the sensitive coating and the support. Instead of filling in the interstices remaining between the coloured particles with smaller particles or black powder, the grains are softened and then crushed either by pressure or by rolling, so as to obtain a continuous layer of uniform thickness which will resemble a mosaic covering. The grains are of fecula, starch, or the like.

Title: The Manufacture and Production of Derivatives of Thionaphtene.
Inventor: JOHNSON GEORGE WILLIAM
Filed: 1906-05-12
Granted: 1907-03-07
Abstract: 11,173. Johason, G. W., [Kalle & Co. Akt.-Ges.]. May 12. a-Aminothionaphthene carboxylic acid is obtained by saponifying o-cyanphenylthioglycollic acid. Its sodium salt separates as small silver leaflets from strongly alkaline solutions. When dilute alkali is used for saponifying, part of the sodium salt remains in solution. On acidifying, the free carboxylic acid is separated as a crystalline precipitate. o-Carboxylic acid amide of phenylthioglycollic acid is obtained as an intermediate product in the above reaction when concentrated sulphuric acid is used for saponifying. The acid amide is converted into the alpha-aminothionaphthene carboxylic acid by treatment with alkali. alpha-Anzinothionaphthene is obtained by fusing crystals of the carboxylic acid. alpha-Oxythionaphthene, [thioindoxyl], results when the alpha-amino body or its carboxylic acid is boiled with dilute mineral acids. It may be obtained directly from o-cyanphenylthioglycollic acid by continued boiling with strong caustic alkali, or with concentrated sulphuric acid, in the latter case, the mixture being diluted and boiled for some time when the condensation has reached the alpha-aminothionaphthene carboxylic acid stage. Preferably, the o-cyan body is first heated with caustic soda lye, and the sodium salt of alpha-aminothionaphthene carboxylic acid, which separates out; is filtered off and treated with dilute acid to obtain the alpha-oxy body. Thioindigo red is obtained when the alpha-oxy body is oxidized. o-Cyanphenylthioglycollic acid is - prepared by reacting with cuprous cyanide, obtained for example from copper sulphate and potassium cyanide, upon diazotized o-aminophenylthioglycollic acid. If the anhydride of the o amino derivative is employed, it is saponified by boiling with dilute alkali and then diazotized. o-Aminophenylthioglycollic acid and its anhydride. The acid is obtained by the action of chloracetic acid upon o-aminothiophenol, and yields by dehydration an anhydride of the probable constitution

Abstract: 14,556. Hall, N. June 26. Targets.-A bullet or a pellet from an air gun, on passing through a central bull's-eye aperture c<3> of a target c, forces back a sliding block g secured to a lever h, which moves a cross-pin l<4> of a lever l from under a retaining-roller n, or from under a cam or pivoted retaining-catch, thus releasing a sliding-block i which is forced upwards by a spring m so as to raise a pivoted indicator j through a slot in the casing and cause a hammer o<3> to strike a bell e. The target front c is detachable and a plate f, carrying the levers and mechanism, is hinged to one side of the casing. The position of the lever h is adjusted by a screw h<7> which bears against the plate f. A spring h returns the lever h into place. The lever l is pivoted to the sliding block i and is pressed down by a spring l<3>. The hammer o<3> is attached to a lever acted on by a spring and a projection on the block i. The block i is depressed by a hand-lever and hooked rod s to lower the signal and reset the catch-pin l<4> under the roller n.

Means for operating conduit points, particularly of the kind described in Specification No. 18,842, A.D. 1906, simultaneously with the operation of the track points comprise push-rods or the like each of which is adapted to be maintained in operative engagement during the forward or setting stroke until it has moved sufficiently to set the conduit tongue ; it is then disengaged by a cam so that its further movement is lost, each rod on its rearward stroke being adapted to re-set itself ready for the next forward stroke, and also moving sufficiently to allow the movement of the tongue to be completed by the plough. In the arrangement shown in plan in Fig. 1, the push-rod b, operated from the lever l, is provided with a collar d free to revolve and having projections e adapted to engage correspondingly-shaped projections f on the rod g, the other end of which contacts with the tongue a. The rod g is prevented from revolving but is free to slide. The collar d is caused to revolve by the intersection of the cam-slot i on the collar and the pin k fixed to the casing c. During the setting- stroke of the lever l, the rods b, g move together until the tongue is set ; the collar d is then rotated, thus disengaging the rod g. Fig. 3 shows a modi fied construction in which the rod b engages a pivoted piece n engaging the conduit tongue. The rods b and pieces n are disengaged at the correct moment by the action of the cam-surfaces i, f on the correspondingly - shaped parts of the rods. Fig. 6 shows the last arrangement adapted to the case where two trailing. tongues or guides a arc substituted for the facing tongue.
