Granted: 1908-01-28
Abstract: 2074. Cairns, T. W. Jan. 28. Pulleys.-An expanding grooved pulley for cycles &c. is provided with a fixed flange a, Fig. 1, and a loose flange movable on its screwed boss. The loose flange is locked in various positions by a key, Fig. 3, one arm j of which fits in a longitudinal recess c<1>, Fig. 1<b>, in the boss of the pulley, while the other arm h fits in an undercut diametrical groove c in the end of the boss. The key is normally held in engagement with one of a series of keyways in the loose flange to lock it, by a spring placed in a hole b, and is depressed radially to release the flange by bringing a lever or other device into contact with the wheel or stud i on the key as the pulley is rotating. When the flange is free, it is moved along the hub by the friction of the belt, and when in the desired position the key is allowed to lock it. Stops g, g<1> may be provided to limit the movements of the loose flange, and a coiled spring may be employed to assist in its movement.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Machines for Sizing, Drying, Sectional Winding and Beaming Warps.
Inventor: BLAMIRES WILLIAM
Filed: 1907-02-05
Granted: 1907-12-31
Abstract: 2858. Blamires, W., and Bywater, W. G. Feb. 5. Yarns, sizing, drying, warping, and beaming.-In apparatus for the sizing, drying, sectional winding, and beaming of warps, the warp passes from a bobbin or cop creel through the sizing-machine 1 and forward through the drying-chamber 2 or over drying- cylinders, as in the Bywater system, and is then wound on to the warping-mill 4, such as is employed in the Whiteley system. From the mill 4, the sectional warp is wound direct on to a loom beam. The warping-mill 4 is driven from a rotating shaft 5 by suitable gearing including friction disks 10, 11. To compensate for the varying diameter of the warp on the mill, the disk 11 slides vertically on its shaft and has a collar 15 engaging with a weighted lever 16, which keeps it pressed down on the driving-disk 10, allowing the latter to slip over the disk 11. The lever 16 may be tilted by the hand-lever 18, so as to lift the disk 11 and throw the driving-gear out of action when it is required to run the warp off on to the loom beam. Specification No. 2798, A.D. 1878, is referred to.

Granted: 1909-02-04
Abstract: 13,595. Tilhet, M. Jan. 30, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Driving-mechanism.-In variable-speed gears for cycles, motor-cars, &c., of the kind employing a secondary shaft f and a slidable central clutchpiece g, h upon the driving-shaft c, means are provided for enabling the clutch-piece to be moved by retarding or reversing the rotation of the driving-shaft. The clutch-piece, pressed towards the gear-wheel a by a spring k, has end ratchet teeth to engage corresponding deep and shallow teeth m, n upon the driving-shaft, the freelymounted wheels a, b and the clutch-piece being provided with face ratchet teeth for transmitting the drive. In the position shown, the wheel a<1> is driven direct through the clutch-piece and the wheel a. By retarding or reversing the motion of the driving-shaft, the clutch-piece, prevented from backward rotation by a pawl o, is caused by the teeth upon the shaft to move laterally into engagement with the wheel b where it is held by the interengagement of the deep and shallow teeth upon the clutch-piece and the shaft. The clutch-piece is formed of two parts connected by pins or screws. The pawl o may be controlled by a flat spring, or by a coil spring used instead of, or in conjunction with, the flat spring.

Abstract: 15,333. North, R. B. July 20. Odometers.-A distance-indicator for vehicles is mounted on the revolving hub or cap of the road wheel and has a spindle engaging the fixed axle of the vehicle. The spindle k is hollow and is slotted at m, this slot receiving a pin n on the solid part o of the spindle to which part the crank q and pin r are attached. A spring p maintains the crank q in the position shown in Fig. 1. The pin r is adapted to engage a hole in the dead axle and so hold the spindle o in position. A sun-wheel j is fixed to the spindle and gears with the first wheel e of a train of wheels, which revolve with the casing a and drive the indicating train of wheels d, e and the indicating-dials g. Reversal of the numeral dials due to a backing of the vehicle is prevented by arranging the wheels l and 4, which are attached to each other and are loose on the spindle 3, a pawl 8 allowing of motion in one direction only. A clutch for connecting the wheels to the spindle 3 when driving consists of a spring 5, which presses the ratchet-wheel 4 up against the collar 7. The casing a is attached to the hub or cap by means of a ring s which screws on to the boss u, the ring being attached to the hub by bolts, and having a number of V-shaped depressions v, which engage a ball w by reason of its spring x and lock the casing against accidental unscrewing. On fixing the casing, the vehicle wheel must be rotated to allow the pin r to enter the hole, and, to help the crank to rotate until it reaches the hole, a disk 1 with a rubber layer 2 is employed to produce the necessary friction.
