Granted: 1909-06-03
Abstract: 1567. Swieten, T. H. M. van. Jan. 22. Setting and retaining devices for controlling- apparatus.-The change-speed gear, clutch, and brake of motor-vehicles are all contained in one box or housing so constructed that it may be readily removed and replaced, if necessary, by another which may be carried on the vehicle. Fig. 1 shows an horizontal section, and Fig. 2 a plan. The motor shaft 1 is stationary, but the gear box or housing is movable transversely and axially so that the various speeds may be engaged. To permit this, the universal joint 2 is made to allow considerable extension. The gear-box is supported by dovetailed sliding blocks 19, and is operated by suitable levers from the driver's seat. The gearing comprises a hollow body 9 rotatably mounted in the housing 11 and provided with the interior rings of teeth 4, 5, 6 and the coupling-claw 7. A pinion is mounted in the lower part of the housing in engagement with the toothed ring 4, and, when put in gear with the pinion 3, reverses the rotation of the driven shaft. The part 9 also carries rings 9 which form, with the rings 24, a clutch of the multiple-disk type. The spring 13 presses at one end on the disk 15, which is connected by the rod 12 to the part 9; at the other end the spring presses on a disk connected with the part 24 by the sleeve 14, which also forms one member of the universal joint 2. Thus the spring 13 holds the clutch members 9, 24 in engagement except when compressed by the action of the lever 28 in the usual way. The brake band 23 is operated by eccentric mechanism in the well - known manner. To secure the housing 11 in its various positions against unintentional displacement, arresting- devices may be used. For instance, spring- pressed balls may engage recesses corresponding to the various speeds when the housing has been properly adjusted.

Abstract: 16,331. Morrison, W. July 13. Electro-mechanical apparatus. - Relates to electric power-transmission systems for motorvehicles of the kind in which the prime mover drives two independent generators, or a single generator having two independent armature windings, the generator circuits being connected in series or in parallel according to the adjustment of a switch, and supplying current to a motor driving the vehicle. The present invention consists in controlling the vehicle without the employment of resistances by means of the switch above referred to, and by a reversing- switch in the motor circuit. An internal-combustion engine 12 is coupled to the generator armature 14, which has two windings 18, 19, Fig. 2, connected with a switch 29. The circuit of the motor 26 passes through a reversing switch 30 to the regulating-switch 29, which, in the position shown in Fig. 2, connects the generator windings in parallel and gives a low speed to the motor with large torque, suitable for starting or ascending hills. For easyrunning conditions, the switch 29 is swung over so as to connect the generator windings in series. The switches 29, 30 are operated by links 31, 32. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 13,903/06 and 8079/07
