Granted: 1912-11-28
Abstract: 2751. Schweinfurter Prõcisions-Kugel-Lager-Werke Fichtel & Sachs. Feb 3, 1911, [Convention date]. Variable - speed epicyclic gearing, suitable for bicycles, comprises planet-pinions 5, 6 secured together in pairs and meshing with separate sun-gears 12, 13, respectively, and with an internally - toothed gear 10. The gears 12, 13 are adapted to be clutched together o r alternatively held fast to produce three speed ratios. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the carrier 7 of the planet pinions is the driving-element and the gear 10 the driven element. The operating - device comprises two toothed disks 14,15, which can slide together upon but not rotate with respect to a fixed spindle 11. These disks e n g a g e alternatively clutch teeth on the outside faces of the gears 12, 13 to hold these gears fast. The clutching together is effected by clutch teeth 17 upon a rotatable sleeve 16 which slides laterally with the disks 14, 15. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, the gear 10 drives and the carrier 7 is driven. The operating-device takes the form of a rotatable sleeve 16 with two rings of clutch teeth 17, 24. In the configuration shown, the teeth 17 engage both the gears 12, 13 and lock them together for a solid drive. On moving the sleeve 16 to the left, the teeth 24 engage fixed teeth 15 and cause the gear 13 to be held fast. On moving the sleeve 16 to the right, the teeth 24 engage fixed teeth 14 and cause the gear 12 to be held fast. The operating- device is in each case under control through a spring rod 20 inside the spindle 11.

Indicating leaks. - A safety-device, particularly adapted for use with apparatus in which inflammable liquids are forced by fluid pressure through pipes provided with protecting-jackets containing protecting-medium, comprises a liquid seal valve acted on by the pressures in the inner and outer pipes. The liquid seal valve comprises a tube a provided with an outlet branch g and trap b having an opening to atmosphere at x. When the pressure in the outer pipe falls due to leakage, the mercury rises in the box h coupled to the U-tube and causes the mercury in the limb y to fall below the point f, to unseal the pipe c leading to the storage tanks and so release the pressure of the forcing medium. The tube c may be fitted with a scale to act as a pressure gauge.

Abstract: 8432. Alltree, A. April 10. Variable - speed epicyclic g e a r i n g for motor-cycles &c. comprises driving internally - toothed ring a gearing with the larger pinions b of compound planet - pinions b, e, which are in mesh with sun-pinions f, g formed with internal clutch teeth f<1>, g<1> to engage with slidable clutch sleeves h, i up¾n the axle, the clutch sleeves being adapted to lock the gear solid for the direct drive, and to hold one sun-pinion against rotation and at the same time lock the carrier or the second sunpinion to a driven member of the gear to bring the second and lowest speeds into operation. As shown in Fig. 1, the sleeve i is locking the sunpinion g and the carrier d to the hub l for the direct drive, the sun-pinion f being free. For the second speed, the teeth h<3> of the slidable but non-rotatable sleeve h are brought into engagement with the teeth f<1>, and the teeth i<2> are moved clear of the teeth g<1>, and for the third speed, the sleeves are moved still further to the left so that the sleeve i clutches the pinion g to the hub l, the pinion f being still clutched to the non-rotatable sleeve h. In a modification, the sleeve h is in sliding-clutch connexion with the pinion f and for the top speed is rotatable, the extension h<1> of the sleeve h being provided with end teeth for locking the pinion to the axle for the lower speeds. The planetpinions may be mounted on carriers at each end, a central clutch ring to engage the sleeve i being fixed to the carriers as by a bolt or pin. The gear may be disposed in a countershaft position upon the frame or within a housing formed in an extension of the engine crank case. The movement of the sleeves may, moreover, be extended so that the carrier may be held stationary by the sleeve h and the sunpinion g locked to the driven member l to obtain a reverse drive. According to the Provisional Specification, both clutch sleeves may be upon the axle.

De-railing and re-railing devices; ground levers.-A spring-actuated de-railer for railways and tramways is permanently pivoted to the track, and may be locked in the operative and inoperative positions. The de - railer 7, Fig. 1, pivoted at 6 to the track, has a lip 16<1> which lies over the rail, a face 16 to raise the wheel and run it off the rail, and a flange 14<1> against which the wheel bears, in normal running, to displace the de-railer against the spring 8. The de - railer is connected by a built-up connecting-rod 19 with a crank 18' connected by bevel-wheels 22, 23, 24 with a shaft 25 to which is secured a lever 26. A vertical shaft 29, secured to the bevel-wheel 23, carries a signal and a lamp, which are given a half-revolution at each operation of the derailer. The de-railer may be locked in position by securing the lever 26 in a lock 28, Figs. 3 and 5. The lock comprises a bolt 46, which can be held across the jaws of the lock during shunting operations by a weighted lever 45, and a sliding bolt 49, pressed across the slot by a spring 48, which is used when the apparatus is left unattended. The bolt 49 can be withdrawn by means of a key fitting in a slot 50. It can also be held in the withdrawn position by a catch 53, releasable by a pedal 52.

Abstract: 20,479. Sprater, A. Sept. 10, 1912, [Convention date]. [Addition to 19,864/12.] B a l a n c i n g autom a t i c a l l y. Relates to improvements in the relay device between the stabilizing - devices and the r u d d e r or like balancing - member described in the parent Specification, and comprises mechanism whereby the movement of the piston for actuating the rudder also moves the valve mechanism to its central or " off " position, and the return movement of the stabilizing-device actuates the valve mechanism to reverse the motor. In the case in which a single stabilizing- device such as a wind vane 1, Fig. 1, is used, three rods are employed, the middle one 32 of which carries a pinion 26 gearing with racks on the other rods 24, 25. When the rod 24 is actuated by the wind vane, the rod 32 is moved to actuate the valve 33 of the compressed-air motor whereby air is admitted to one or the other side of the piston 36. The movement of the piston actuates the rudder 31 and also the rod 25, whereby the valve 33 is moved back to its central position. When the wind vane 1 swings back to its normal position, the valve 33 is moved to reverse the movement of the motor and bring the parts back to the normal position shown in Fig. 1. In modified form having two stabilizing- members such as a wind vane and a swinging weight, a servomotor 56, Fig. 4, is provided with a double valve mechanism comprising a piston valve 62 sliding within a sleeve valve 61. The valves are actuated by rods 80, 81 and are each provided with means for regulating the throw comprising a sector 78 pivoted at 96 to one arm of an adjusting- lever 86 and connected by a link 76 to the rod 80 or 81. The sectors 78 are slidably connected at 82 to the valve-rods. The rod 80 is actuated by a pinion 90 carried by a rod 92 moved by one stabilizing-member such as the pivoted weight. The rod 81 carries a pinion 91 gearing with a rack bar 93 actuated by the second stabilizing- member such as the wind vane. The pinions 91, 92 gear with a double rack 89 carried by a rod actuated by a pinion on the shaft of the rotary piston 71 of the motor. The lever 86 is adjusted manually by a rod 94 and is provided with an extension 88 whereby the valve sleeve 61 is moved into the position shown in Fig. 10 in which the inlet port 57 of the motor is blocked and both sides of the piston 71 are open to the atmosphere through the cylinder ports 74, 75 and the ports shown in the valve 61.
