Title: Improved Transmission Gear for Rotation Indicating Instruments
Inventor: BROWNE HARRY PATRICK CONNOLLY
Filed: 1907-09-05
Granted: 1908-03-12
Abstract: 19,888. Browne, H. P. C., and Palmer, W. H. Sept. 5. Speed indicators; odometers.-Various forms of transmission gearing are described for operating a distance or speed indicator from the shaft of the vehicle. (1) A cogged wheel D is fixed to the hub of the wheel by screws through lugs d ; gearing with this wheel is a pinion the axle f of which is flattened at one side to receive the end of the flexible shaft connecting it to the odometer. The casing A in which the pinion is journaled is carried by, and fits closely upon the wheel D, and is prevented from rotating with the wheel by means of an arm secured: to some fixed part of the vehicle engaging with lugs a projecting from the casing. The faces of the wheel D are grooved to permit the insertion of packing E. Variation in the speed ratio may be obtained by the introduction of further bevelled pinions. (2) The gear wheel D may take the form of a bevel-wheel gearing with a smaller bevelled pinion, or may be a plain annular ring D<2>, Fig. 8, upon which the tyre of a smaller wheel F<6> travels. The housing of the wheel is adjustable through a small angle, thus allowing for wear &c. of the tyre. (3) A further modification consists in replacing the pinion by a starwheel which is rotated by a spiral race on the ring D. (4) In another modification, the gearwheel D is supported from the hub by means of a projecting piece screwed to the outside of the hub. In this form the casing is prevented from rotating by the casing of the flexible shaft. (5) In another form, the casing is fixed to the pivot of the axle, and the gear is rotated by pins projecting from the hub and engaging notches in the lugs d of the wheel D. The packing in the wheel serves the double purpose of retaining oil in, and excluding dust from the casing.
