Title: Improvements in or relating to Driving Mechanism for Motor Vehicles.
Inventor: WYNN CHARLES HENRY
Filed: 1904-11-09
Granted: 1905-10-12
Abstract: 24,243. Wynn, C. H., and Hamilton, C. A. Nov. 9. Motor road vehicles.-A disconnecting-clutch, having a device for preventing the accidental reengagement of the members after de-clutching, is placed between the differential gear and the road wheels. Fig. 1 shows one type of clutch, where the outer sleeve D, carrying the sprocket-wheel E and toothed end piece G, is slidably mounted on the inner sleeve B and is controlled by spring toggle-levers H connected to the change-speed lever. The inner sleeve B is fixed tn the shaft A by a nut C, and has teeth B<1> at its outer end normally engaging the teeth on the end piece G. A "surprise-piece" J, connected to the shaft A by the spring K, has bevelled teeth J<1>, Figs. 1 and 4, also normally engaging the teeth on the end piece so that the teeth J' are held in alignment with the teeth on the sleeve B. On operating the change-speed lever, the shaft A is automatically disconnected from the road wheels by the togglelevers H sliding the teeth on the end piece Gout of engagement with the teeth B', J<1>. The " surprise-piece" J is then forced forwards and partially rotated by the action of the spring K, so that the teeth J', B<1> are no longer in alignment and the teeth on the end piece cannot re-engage the teeth B<1> even after the automatic release of the sleeve D caused by the completion of the gearchanging operation. The rotary movement of the piece J is limited by a stop B<2>. When the shaft A is positively driven from the motor, the fixed sleeve B and "surprise-piece" J overrun the sleeve D, while at the same time the " surprise- "piece" is rotated and forced backwards by the bevelled edge of the teeth bearing against the end piece, by which means the two sets of teeth are again brought into alignment, and a spring then forces the two clutch members into engagement. With this arrangement, the clutch may be driven in the reverse direction, and the engine may be used as a brake without throwing out the clutch.
Patent GB-190425486-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Stoppers for Bottles, Jars and like Receptacles.
Inventor: RADBRUCH HEINRICH CHRISTIAN
Filed: 1904-11-23
Granted: 1905-09-21
Abstract: 25,486. Radbrach, H. C. Nov. 23. Stoppers. - A plug stopper, for bottles, jars, cans, &c., is provided with a packing- washer, which, on the stopper being forced into its closing position in the mouth of the vessel, forms a tight joint between the stopper and the neck. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the stopper 2 and washer 4 are preferably of circular section, and the stopper has two grooves 5 separated by an annular swelling on the stem. The lower end 6 of the stopper is preferably made conical, to facilitate the washer being passed over it, and of such size that the washer, in passing over it, makes one revolution, and then lies in the lower groove 5. The neck of the vessel is formed with an internal groove 7. When the stopper is forced down into the neck, the washer rolls from the lower groove 5 into the upper groove in the stopper, and also enters the groove 7, as shown in Fig. 2, where it forms a hermetic joint between the neck and stopper. When the receptacle is to be heated, the stopper may be placed without pressure in the neck, where it will retain its position during the escape of the steam, vapours, &c, To give further support to the stopper during this operation, the inner edge 9 of the mouth of the receptacle may be recessed or inclined, as shown, to provide a seat for the washer. The diameter of the end 6 of the stopper may be substantially equal to the internal diameter of the neck, so that, when the receptacle contains sterilized milk or corrosive liquid, it serves to prevent appreciable contact between the contents and the washer. The stopper may be made of porcelain, glass, &c., and the part of the stem between the grooves 5 may be roughened or left unglazed to prevent the washer from sliding during the insertion of the stopper. To obviate risk of fracture, the groove 7 is made nearer to the lip of the receptacle than the upper groove 5 is to the head of the stopper, so that the bead does not come in contact with the lip. A number of receptacles may be stoppered simultaneously by pressure applied through a long bar or the like to the heads of the stoppers.

Title: An Improved Method of Treating Washed Flax Waste and Spinning Yarn therefrom
Inventor: KORSELT EVALD
Filed: 1905-01-30
Granted: 1905-10-12
Abstract: 1829. Korselt, E., Ramet, C., and Thomas, A. Jan. 30, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Processes.-An oiling operation is introduced in the process for treating washed waste, i.e., flax waste which has fallen from spinning-frames and then been washed and dried in the open air or by steam to enable finer yarns to be spun therefrom. The dried waste is passed through a devil or teazer which separates and shortens the fibres, and is then conveyed to an opening-machine constructed with a large drum studded with strong straight steel pins. This machine arranges the fibres so that they are more easily treated by the ravelling- machine or waste opener, which opens and shortens the fibres and threads. The oil is then applied prior to passing the fibres several times through a scutcher, then through a set of carding-engines, and finally to a mule or continuous spinning- machine. The fibres may be mixed with other fibres of animal, vegetable, or mineral origin prior to spinning.

Title: Improvements in Variable-speed and Reversing Gearing
Inventor: SWEDLUND ERICK JUNO
Filed: 1905-05-22
Granted: 1905-11-02
Abstract: 10,689. Swedlund, E. J. May 22. Motor road vehicles. -Relates to variable-speed and reversing gearing suitable for motor-bicycles and other road vehicles &c. A sleeve 6 on the driving-shaft 4 carries a hood or frame 7, which is slotted to receive the supports 18 of a pulley 20, adapted to engage the exterior of a conoidal member 29. A rod 21 extends from the supports 18 and engages a groove in a brake drum 14 on a sleeve 13 mounted loosely upon the driven shaft 5. A buffer member 25 on the sleeve 13 engages the exterior of the cone 29 opposite to the pulley 20. A universal or swivelling connexion is formed between the cone 29 and a sleeve 33, mounted loosely on the shaft 5, by means of a ring 30 provided with trunnions to engage the cone and the sleeve. The sleeve may be connected to, or disconnected from, the shaft 5 by means of a lug 36 engaging a recess in the sleeve ; this lug is formed on a sliding key provided with a collar 34, and, normally, is pressed into engagement by means of a spring arranged between the sleeve and the collar 34. When the sleeve 13 is moved to the extreme right, the lug 36 is pushed out of engagement wibh the sleeve 33, and the driven shaft 5 is free ; when it is moved to the extreme left, a conical portion of the buffer 25 engages a corresponding recess 12 on the frame 10, and a tapered shoe 20<a> on the support 18 engages a swelling 29<a> on the cone 29, thereby locking the parts together so that the driving and driven shafts rotate at the same speed ; in intermediate positions of the sleeve 13, which is fixed against rotation by braking the drum 14, the pulley 20 rolls round and imparts a rotary motion to the cone 29 and consequently to the shaft 5, the position of the sleeve 13 determining the velocity ratio of the shafts 4, 5. To obtain a reverse motion, a pulley 41, carried by a lug on the sleeve 6, engages a tapering portion 43 of the cone 29, and a pulley 44, mounted on the sleeve 6, is moved into engagement with the part 43, and the pulley is braked by means of a band 47.

Title: Improvements in, and relating to, Package Feeding or Conveying Machines
Filed: 1905-05-30
Granted: 1906-05-30
Abstract: 11,333. Lake, H. H., [Agnew Auto Mailing Machine Co.]. May 30. Conveyers.-Relates to package-feeding machines, and consists in the automatic delivery into receptacles of packages, granular material, and the like from travelling bands by a series of devices actuated at times from the belt-driving mechanism. The stationary framework over which the band 26 cairying the packages travels has an inclined side surface 13 and deflectors or guides 14. The receptacles or sacks are carried on slidably-mounted rods 15. Similar rods and a shoot 12 are arranged at the end of the conveyor. Doors 34 mounted on vertical pivots, and stationed along the top at intervals corresponding to the deflectors 14, tend to rest in an inoperative position against stops 30 by the action of springs 38, Fig. 6, but are prevented from doing so when pawls 36 pivoted to them rest in notches in latch plates. Fig. 5 shows the notch 41 in the latch plate 39, which has also a cam-edge 40, corresponding to the first door. Running the length of the framework and urged towards the end 47 by the differential action of two springs is a wire 45. Secured to this wire and adapted to run on a guide-plate 44 and under the pawl 36 are two blocks 53, 54 which, when moved into the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 5, release the pawl from its notch and allow the door to move, under the action of the spring 38, into its inoperative position. A somewhat similar device is described with reference to the other doors. Secured also to the wire 45 is a rack-bar 46 having downwardly-projecting teeth 73 with inclined surfaces on one side so as to be readily drawn in a direction against the pull of the stronger of the differential springs but in the other to jam either against a stop on the rocking lever 66, carrying an armature 67, or against a spring-controlled detent 68 engaging with the lever 66. On operation of a circuit-closer 106, the attraction of the armature 67 causes one tooth 73 to be released, and the corresponding door assumes a position against its stop 30. During the final movement of the rack-bar under the action of the stronger spring, which is effected by a block 82 closing an electric circuit by pressing together spring contacts 86, 87, this block simultaneously lifts a spring- contrclled pawl so as to cause a lever 95, under the action of a spring 97, to throw over a clutch member, which puts the wheel 51 into communication with the rotating shaft 22; the stronger spring at the other extremity is then extended again, the weaker spring being as shown at 52, and the teeth of the rack-bar are drawn back through the detents 66, 68. When all the teeth have been drawn through, a stop 85 on a block 84 throws over the pawl 90 towards a stop 79, when the clutch members are disengaged and the circuit is broken. An alternative form shows a means for controlling the apparatus at a distance.
