Title: Improvements relating to Bicycles or other Vehicles Propelled or Assisted by Motive Power.
Inventor: WALL ARTHUR WILLIAM
IPC: B62M7/12
Filed: 1909-11-09
Granted: 1910-11-09
Abstract: 25,861. Wall, A. W. Nov. 9. Motor - cycles; motor - wheels; motors, mounting or supporting; fuel &c. containers. - The motor A, Fig. 1, of a motor-wheel is arranged horizontally at one side of the wheel and co-axial therewith, the wheel being supported by two bearings on the crank-shaft B, Fig. 3, and the crank-shaft being mounted in bearings, one in the crank casing and the other in the wheel frame f<1>. The motor is preferably of the twostroke-cycle type, with its power cylinder projecting rearwards and its compressing-cylinder forwards. The crank-shaft carries the fly-wheel m and a pinion k gearing with planet pinions carried by the wheel hub H, a smaller set of planet pinions gearing with a sun wheel k<2> secured to a sleeve g. When this sleeve is held stationary by a brake band on the drum g<1>, the wheel is driven through the reducing-gear, and the engine is disconnected by releasing the brake. In a modified form of the gearing, the planet pinions are carried by the sleeve g and one of the sun wheels is mounted on the wheel hub, the brake drum in this case being mounted at the side opposite the engine. The mudguard p, p<1>, supported by stays f<4>, is hollow and serves as a fuel and oil container. The. magneto 0 is driven by bevel or worm gear from the crank-shaft. The wheel may form part of a motor-bicycle, or may be detachably connected to an ordinary bicycle as described in Specification 23,080/08.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Carburettors for Explosion Engines.
IPC: F02M1/00
Filed: 1910-03-16
Granted: 1910-12-15
Abstract: 6671. Napier & Son, D., and Draper, F. R. March 16. Spray carburettors.-In single- or multiplejet carburettors wherein a sleeve surrounding the nozzle or nozzles is adapted to engage with a seating in the air-passage, the sleeve and seating are so formed, that, when the sleeve is in its raised position, fuel overflows from the jet on to the sleeve and is carried along by air passing between the sleeve and nozzle, thus producing a rich mixture for starting. The nozzles C, C<1> communicate with the annular float chamber A by ducts B, B' and enter air conduits G, G' communicating with the engineinlet pipes. A sleeve, which may be raised and lowered by a bell-crank lever F, surrounds the nozzle C, and, when in its raised position, contacts with the conduit G. The annular float J controls the fuel-inlet valve through weighted levers.

Granted: 1911-05-31
Abstract: 13,203. Hargreaves, F., and Dixon, G. May 31. Engine stopgear; cushioning reciprocating parts. -The distributing - valves of a steam engine are actuated by auxiliary pistons v, Fig. 1, under the control of steam dash - pots a. An arrangement for automatically stopping the engine in the case of excessive speed is shown applied to the dash-pot in Fig. 20. A hand-set pin 64 is rotated by the governor, and allows a spring 63 to close the admission valve k on one side of the dash-pot, and put the corresponding side into communication with the exhaust by means of a valve 59. The steam acting upon the other side of the dash-pot piston keeps the admission valve in the closed position. In a modified form of dash-pot, the slam of the piston is prevented by a series of thin metal disks arranged at the ends of the cylinder.

Abstract: 19,019. Leonard, B. W. Aug. 12. Resistances.-Flexible ribbon in the form of a U is supported by contactpieces so as to form removable units. The strip 11, Fig. 1, is of corrugated non-ozidizable material such as german-silver, and is wound over porcelain or other insulating - spools 4 carried by pins passing through eyes in adjustable tensioning-bolts 1. One end of the strip in each unit is placed inside a loop 12, Fig. 4, and makes contact with the bent-up end of a terminal 13, also placed in the loop, the parts being secured by a bolt 14 and nuts to a porcelain base 7. The other end of the strip is connected in a similar way with a terminal 20, and at the middle the strip is bent twice at right-angles and connected by bolts with the bent-up end of a terminal 23, also placed in a ring 21, but arranged in a different plane from the terminals 13, 20. The terminal 23 is held in position on the block 7 by a nut 9 screwing on the rod 1, which also carries another nut 10, both nuts being used for adjusting the tension of the strip. The block has a projection 29 to prevent contact between the terminals. The units are connected up in series in two concentric rings, contact with bolts fixed to the terminals being made by means of an arm which is a conductor, or carries a conductor connecting two contacts. In this way, the hot part of the resistance in each ring is at opposite sides. Each of the movable contacts consists of two rectangular plates 38, Fig. 13, having springs 39 working in recesses in the contact-arm.

Abstract: 7469. P i c k u p , W. March 25. Tripping-arrangements.-A machine for printing calico, silk, floorcloth, oil baize, carpets, wallpaper, &c., of the kind in which cross-border rollers and filling-rollers are moved into and out of printing position, is constructed so as to cause the filling-rollers to be moved quickly into and out of printing position when patterns of great length are being produced by driving the cam-shaft which actuates the filling-rollers from the cam-shaft which actuates the border rolls by means of mechanism which permits the former shaft to be driven for one revolution at twice the speed of the latter and then to be stopped until the latter has completed its revolution. As shown, the cams for actuating the border rolls are mounted on a shaft e driven so as to make one complete revolution for every cross border printed. The shaft c drives a shaft f, which is fitted with the cams for controlling the filling- rollers, either by means of a sprocket-and-chain drive i, n, m, which drives the roller f at twice the speed of the shaft e, or by means of a similar drive y, x, w acting through a continuous clutch u to drive the two shafts at the same speed. A clutch k actuated by a lever o and cam p connects the freely-mounted wheel i to the shaft e for a half rotation, and then frees it for the next half, when the drive is through the parts i, n, m.
