Abstract: 20,122. Angst, A. Sept. 10. Variable speed and reversing friction gearing; link-work.- Relates to a variable-speed and reversing friction gear of the disk - and - roller type suitable for motor-vehicles. The motor shaft 1, Fig. 2, drives two shafts 4, 5 through chain gearing. These drive shafts 7, 8, which are inclined towards the disk 28, and are mounted in brackets 11, 12 upon a carriage 9, which can be slid upon fixed rails 10 to vary the velocity ratio. Pinions 14, 15 upon the shafts 7, 8 may be caused to drive the disk 28 for the forward speeds by rotating the frame 11 about a pivot 13, the disk 28 being movable laterally on its shaft 29. The reverse speeds are obtained through pinions 26, 27 upon spindles 18, 19, geared to the shafts 7, 8 and revoluble in frames 16, 17, Figs. 1 and 3, about the shafts 7, 8. The frames 16, 17 have arms 21, 22 operated by a reversing- lever 25. The lever 25 is rocked by an arm 49 extending from a bar 47 when the bar turns round, the bar being also adapted to slide longitudinally with the frame 9 when the latter is operated to vary the velocity ratio by a link 50, a lever 51, and a vertical actuating-bar 52, Figs. 2 and 5. This bar 47 is turned by means of an arm 46 slotted to engage a rod 43 which rotates with parallel motion about cranks 44, 36 actuated by an external lever 35. A notched sector 36<x> normally engaged by a bolt 35x upon the lever 35 is connected through a rotary sleeve, a lever 40, and a link 42 to a pedal-lever 58. The movement of the rod 47 rotates a cam 48 engaging a pin 70, and turns the frame 11 about the pivot 13. A second pedal-lever 59 carries a pin 65 which engages a piu 66 on the lever 58, so that the lever 59 carries the lever 58 with it. A crank-pin 63<x>, connected through a spindle 63 with the lever 58, raises the rod 52, so that an arm on its upper end may clear a toothed sector and allow the rod to be turned. The lever 59 through a link 60 and lever 61 actuates a brake 62 applied to the disk 28. Depression of the lever 58 withdraws the pinions from the disk 28 and leaves the rod 52 clear for action. Depression of the lever 59, in addition, puts on the brake. The lever 35 independently throws the forward or backward driving-gear into section. As shown in Fig. 10, a detachable pawl 67 may be provided to engage notches in the edge of the disk 28 and prevent the vehicle from running back.

Abstract: 13,066. Munkenbeck, E. S. June 5. Make - ready arrangements.-Relates to a method of producing etched or electrotype plates having gradated surfaces which require no make-ready. A metal, preferably soft copper, plate is coated on both sides with a sensitive emulsion, and exactly registering photographic prints are produced in the two films. After development, the design on the obverse is etched in the usual manner, during which the dark portions of the design on the reverse are protected by a resist, as shown in Fig. 6. The obverse having been protected by a resist, the film is removed from the high lights of the reverse design and the back of the plate etched. The film is then removed from the medium lights and the process repeated. The plate having been thus gradated on the reverse is pressed face downwards into a block of cold wax by a platen. The plate is thus provided with gradations on the face which correspond to the tones of the picture. The half-tone or other plate thus formed may be printed from directly, or the mould produced in the wax box may be employed to form an electrotype plate, which may be backed with celluloid and printed from in the usual way. The design may be produced by means other than photographic.
