Abstract: 20,855. Blakoe, R. Sept. 21. Spring wheels with continuous outer rigid ring and metal springs other than helical and volute springs.-Relates to wheels of the kind described in Specifications 5688/07 and 28,058/08, in which a strip of blade spring steel is coiled into loops to form spokes. The parts M which lie tangentially to the hub are clamped between plates C', C, the inner of which is pivoted to a block B formed on the hub. The rocking of the attachment is resisted by helical springs F, which may be arranged radially or tangentially. In the latter case, they engage an arm on the part C projecting beyond the pivot bolt, Fig. 2<d>. At the rim, the loop lies in a curved bed in a block G, which is open at one side and closed by a detachable plate.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Ball Thrust Bearings.
Inventor: BRUEHL PAUL
IPC: F16C19/10
Filed: 1912-06-04
Granted: 1912-11-14
Abstract: 13,133. Br³hl, P. June 4. Ball bearings.-In a bearing for taking thrusts in both directions, of the kind having a single row of balls cooperating with races 5, 6 and thrust collars 3, 4. Fig. 1, the collars 3, 4 are retained in position, when the bearing is removed from the shaft, by the bevelled edges of the outer bushes 9, 10, which overlap the edges of the collars. The races 5, 6 are seated spherically in the bushes 9, 10; the collars 3, 4 are separated by a distance sleeve 2. Fig. 2 shows a modification in which the sleeve 2 and collars 3, 4 are replaced by two coned sleeves 21, on which the races 5, 6 are seated. In another modification of the construction shown in Fig. 1, rows of balls are inserted between the sleeve 2 and the races 5, 6, which have flat seatings in the bushes 9, 10 rectangularly recessed for that purpose; the bushes abut against each other and are seated spherically in an outer casing. This form allows the shaft to move parallel to its axis and also to pivot about the centre of the bearing. By a combination of these motions, the shaft can turn about points on its axis other than the centre of the bearing.

Abstract: 2924. Stoppel, C. Feb. 7, 1912, [Convention date]. Levers, locking.- In a locking-device for the hand-levers of the brakes of carriages, automobiles, carts, &c., the hand - lever 16 is pivoted at 17 to a casing 24 and is formed with a tooth 18 engaging a tooth 19 on the bell-crank 13, which is pivoted to the casing at 15 and connected at 22 to the brake rod and at 26 to one end of a wedgeshaped band 11, which engages the grooved periphery of a disk 9 and is attached at its other end 12 to the casing. The disk 9 is formed with internal ratchet teeth 27, which engage pawls 3, 4, 5 mounted on a disk 2 fixed on the vehicle. The pawls are arranged so that one engages fully with its tooth, the next with two thirds, and the last with one third of a tooth. When the lever 16 is operated to apply the brakes, the ratchet disk 9 slips past the pawls, which, however, prevent return of the disk and lock the brake lever. When the lever 16 is pushed back to release the brakes, the bell-crank 13 turns on its pivot 15 so as to disengage the band 11 from the disk, thus unlocking the lever.

Granted: 1914-05-07
Abstract: 10,919. British Thomson-Houston Go., and Taylor, H. W. May 8. Windings, more particularly for large alternating-current generators, consist of a number of superposed conductors or bars arranged in deep slots and connected together in parallel, and the end connexions are made so that there is no tendency for equalizing- currents to flow through the parts of the windings. Fig. 1 shows a developed winding having four bars a, b, c, d arranged vertically above one another in each slot A, B, &c. and connected to form two parallel winding-portions between the ends a', b'. The numerals 1, 2, 3, 4 are used to indicate the vertical positions of the bars in each slot, and, on tracing out the paths of the winding-portions, it will be seen that the bars of each parallel winding-portion occupy a different position in each succeeding slot and that all the slot-positions are passed twice between the ends a<1>, b<1>. A winding having three parallel portions and six bars in each slot is also described. Conductors.-According to the Provisional Specification, conductors may be caused to cross one another within the slots to prevent equalizing-currents.
