Abstract: 11,913. Arnaud, L. C. May 19, 1909, [Convention date]. Variable-speed friction gearing.-Relates to gearing of the class comprising friction rollers A, C, Fig. 4, secured to driving and driven shafts B, D, respectively, and intermediate disks E, F, which are moved across the rollers A, C to vary the speed. Means are provided for keeping the pressure of the disks on the roller A constant, and for increasing the pressure on the disk C as the speed ratio diminishes. There is a fixed frame comprising cross-pieces H connected by four guide-bars I. The cross-pieces H support the ends of the shafts B, D, and the bars I guide a sliding frame K, which carries the disks E, F. The inwards thrust exerted by the disks is maintained by a spring R connecting the outer ends of levers S, the inner ends of which are supported upon pivots S<1> upon one cross-piece H. The levers S bear upon rollers T on the outer ends of perpendicular levers P which are secured to pivots U, Fig. 2, upon the frame K. The levers P, pass through openings in tangs O<1> projecting from axle journals O which support the disks E, F, and thereby transmit the inwards thrust to the disks. As the frame K and disks E, F are moved across the rollers to vary the speed, the rollers T come in contact with different points of the levers S. The inwards thrust of the disks is thus varied, the resultant effect being stated to be as described above.

Title: Improvements in Controlling Valves for Air Brakes.
Inventor: POLIKARPOV EGOR
IPC: B60T15/30
Filed: 1910-08-06
Granted: 1911-08-03
Abstract: 18,616. Polikarpov, E. Aug. 6. Fluid-pressure.-Triple valves for air-brakes of rail way vehicles &c. are provided with a special construction of emergency-valve mechanism, and with means for rendering the braking- power constant throughout the train. The emergency valve comprises a double piston 18, 19, which controls a port 22 and cavities 21, and is pressed to the pcsition shown by a spring 23, which bears against a double-headed valve 36, 37 adapted to seat against flanges 35<1> provided at opposite sides of a partition 35. The parts are shown in the release position. When the pressure in the train-pipe E is reduced for a service application, the slide valve 9 moves so as to uncover a port 10, thereby connecting the auxiliary reservoir at C to the brake cylinder at B. In emergency applications, the valve 9 moves sufficiently to uncover also a port 16, through which air then passes and forces the emergency piston 18,19 to the right, thereby opening the valve 37. During this movement of the piston 18, 19, train-pipe air flows around the stem 31 of the valve 37, passes the piston head 19 by means of the cavities 21, and flows to the brake cylinder by ports 22, 14. When the piston 18, 19 has moved fully to the right, auxiliary-reservoir air passes to the brake cylinder through ports 16, 22, 14 as well as through ports 10, 14, the port 16 being wider than the port 10. The braking-power is rendered constant throughout the train by adjusting the amount by which the port 10 is uncovered in service applications in accordance with the distance of a particular vehicle of the train from the locomotive. This is effected by mounting the stop 27, against which the piston 7 abuts in service applications, in a screwed sleeve 26, which is adjusted by using packing 3 of various thicknesses between the sleeve and the valve casing 2. A three-way cock 29 is provided, whereby the whole device or only the emergency valve may be cut off.
