Granted: 1907-02-14
Abstract: 21,820. Reilly, A. H. Oct. 3. Driving - mechanism.-In a three - speed coaster hub for cycles, of the type in which two sets of planet-pinions c, d upon a common carrier b gear with sun-pinions f, g freely mounted upon the spindle and pressed together by springs k, the driven internal ring being in one-way clutch connexion with the hub, a second one-way clutch is provided between the carrier and the hub. For the high speed, the pinion f is forced inwards into engagement with a stationary clutch-piece h, the pinion. g being locked at l<1> to the driving-ring l and the hub being driven through a one-way clutch a. On allowing the sun-pinion f to move out of engagement with its clutch - piece, the pinion g being still locked to the driving-ring, a direct drive is obtained through the free-wheel clutch p between the carrier and the hub. By pressing the sun-pinion g into engagement with a fixed clutch-piece i, a low-speed drive is furnished through the ring l, pinions d, carrier b, and clutch p. The pinion is grooved at g<1> to prevent clutching with the driving-ring when the parts are in the low-speed position. In a modification, the righthand sun-pinion is adapted to be clutched to the carrier instead of to the driving-ring, a clutch-ring with recesses to engage the axles of the planetwheels being provided between the two sets. According to the Provisional Specification, both sunpinions may be arranged to be locked to the carrier for the direct drive.

Granted: 1907-12-31
Abstract: 1562. Wise, Sir W. L., [Jones Julia Manufacturing Co.]. jan. 21. Testing gases.-In apparatus for recording the percentage of a constituent of furnace &c. gases, the gases enter at the intake B and are divided into two streams from one of which this constituent is absorbed in a vessel D ; the other stream is passed through a vessel C which compensates for change in pressure due to the vessel D. The streams are then each connected with an end of a manometer E, F, from the readings of which the determination is made ; the readings are thus quite unaffected by changes in pressure in the gas-supply pipe and in the suction. The tube 7 of the vessel G is adjusted to regulate the suction at the end A of the apparatus.

Granted: 1909-03-04
Abstract: 6288. Reading. H. C., [trading as Reading & Co., H. C.]. March 21. Gas or explosive-vapour engines.-The invention is applicable to an engine having two, or any multiple of two, cylinders and consists of a plug valve which contains the fuel nozzle and is rotated at a suitable speed and through which compressed or exploded gases from one cylinder induce a current of fuel and blow it into another cylinder. Figs. 1 and 2 show the plug E in the position it occupies at half working-stroke in the cylinder B, half suction-stroke in the cylinder A, when the exploded gases of cylinder B spray the fuel into the cylinder A. When the plug has rotated 90 degrees and the cylinder A is at half working- stroke, the cylinder B being at half suction-stroke, the exploded gases of the cylinder A spray fuel into the cylinder B. The fuel may be sprayed by the compressed gases of the cylinders instead of the exploded gases. The fuel is supplied by a float chamber to the plug E of the valve, and its outlet is controlled by a needle valve C<1>, the stems of which is surrounded by a passage leading to the atmosphere.
