Inventor: GILBERT GEORGE
Filed: 1905-10-31
Granted: 1906-01-11
Abstract: 22,203. Gilbert, G., and Mushing, E. Oct. 31. Variable-speed gearing.-In the type of variablespeed gear for cycles &c. in which the sun-pinion is adapted to be clutched to the driving-spindle or to the stationary bracket, a spring-pressed plunger P witbin a boss R returns the clutch piece G to its low-speed position. The sun-pinion E is provided with a sleeve D, which carries the sliding clutch piece. For the low speed, teeth G<1> of the clutch piece engage a clutch member upon the bearing- cup H, so that the pinion E is held stationary and the rotation of the internally-toothed ring C drives the sprocket-wheel K through the planet-pinions N. By operation of a stud 0 upon a bell-crank lever connected to some controlling-means within reach of the rider, the clutch piece is moved to engage its teeth G with teeth J upon the crank-axle, so that the gear turns as a whole.

Granted: 1907-05-06
Abstract: 2846. Emden, P. Feb. 6, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Stuffing-boxes, substitutes for.-The shafts, drums, &c. of turbines, rotary engines, &c. are packed by flexible disks with plane or other faces. The fluid in flowing outwards decreases in pressure below that of the atmosphere owing to the small crosssection of the gap. The atmosphere therefore presses the disk towards the casing. Fig. 4 shows a diaphragm C on a shaft S which will act with the pressure on either side of the casing B, the diaphragm moving towards the source of pressure. Fig. 5 shows a double packing. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901 describes also the applications shown in Figs. 6,8, and 10. Fig. 6 shows an arrangement for a small difference of pressure in which two flexible disks are arranged in a chamber F which is exhausted through an opening G. In order to avoid the entrance of air into the chamber A, Fig. 10, the packing-box contains a chamber E supplied with steam at slightly above atmospheric pressure. The chamber D is connected to the condenser. In Fig. 8 the shaft B passing from the vacuum chamber A of a turbine into the atmosphere is shown packed by a disk C. To prevent entrance of air, a chamber F is supplied with steam at a pressure slightly above that of the atmosphere. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.
