Abstract: 3067. Roots, J., and Venables, C. E. Feb. 13. Motor road vehicles. -Relates to variable-speed driving-gear for motor cars, in which a variablethrow crank operates the driven shaft or axle through the medium of one-way or free-wheel friction clutches ; and also relates to the governing of oil engines, and to the regulating of the oil supply thereto. (1) In the form shown in plan in Fig. 3, the variable-throw crank-pin or arm B<3> is carried by a slide B, which can be adjusted on the crank arm A. This is forged solid with the crank shaft A<1>. The crank-pin is adjusted in position, so as to vary the throw, by a screw C, which can be rotated by means of a chain C' passing over chain-wheels mounted on the shaft A' and adjustable by means of the sliding grooved collar C<5>. The crank-pin is connected by the rod D with an arm on a one-way or free-wheel clutch E on the driven shaft F, the speed of which therefore depends on the throw of the crank-pin B<3>. In another form, the crank-pin is on a block sliding in a slot in a crank disc, and is adjusted by a screw operated like the above, but by rack-and-pinion gear instead of chain gear. An arrangement is also shown with two connecting- rods giving a double action, and another arrangement with two oppositely-driving clutches, either of which can be engaged by a cone clutch, thereby making the gear capable of reversal. (2) Fig. 10 shows in elevation, and Fig. 11 in plan, the oil and speed controlling devices. The oil-feed spindle Q, by which the supply of oil to the vaporizer 0 is regulated, is connected through a rocker R to the block T on the exhaustvalve spindle. To effect a reduction of speed whenever the vehicle is stopped and the motor is running idle, the air valve Z is closed by a lever W operated by band from the driver's seat, and at the same time the tension on the governor spring V<3> is automatically reduced by the rotation of the screw V<2> effected by a lever V, which is connected to the air-valve lever W by the rod W<2>

Granted: 1902-04-24
Abstract: 9888. Bock, E. May 13. Making pipes and tubes; bending.-R elates to a method of and apparatus for manufacturing conical tubes. One e o r more suitably-cut tapering plates are shaped into a tubular form for cer. tain lengths by appropriate mandrels while at the same time an external matrix or mould partly or entirely surrounds the tube being formed. The tubes formed may, or may not, have longitudinal ribs. Figs. 4 and 5 show the method of manufacture from one strip R, and Fig. 10 shows one method of clipping together two strips R which are to be opened out into tubes by mandrels while the cheeks q are brought nearer together. In forming tubes as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, a series of mandrels D and matrices M which increase in size are employed, while in tne making of tubes from two strips or plates riveted, welded, or beaded together, the series of mandrels and matrices decrease in size. Fig. 14 shows one form of the apparatus in plan. In this machine the tapering mandrels D<1> .... D<8> are supported at right-angles to the mandrel axis and are successively introduced into the tube R by means of the hydraulic or other ram G. The rear ends F<1> .... F<8> of the mandrels are slotted so that the ram G may engage with the various heads as the frame B is moved along. The cylinder A is provided with a supply or braking valve, and the press E for moving the frames may have a separate braking mechanism H. The movement of the matrices M<1> .... M<8> is effected automatically by hydraulic pistons h<1> .... h<8>. Each half of a matrix is articulated in its support or slide so as to be capable of adjusting itself to the taper of the tube. In making tubes with longitudinal ribs, the cheeks q, Fig. 21, are clamped together by the right and left handed spindles s and the slides tare caused to approach one another, or conical tubes may be produced by drawing them intermittently through, a single adjustable pair of cheeks q, Fig. 24, by means of pincers,appropriate mandrels being used in the various stages. For making tubes without longitudinal ribs, the machine is fitted with removable or exchangeable matrices by having an upright and vertically movable frame with divisions for the matrices. All or any of the hydraulic pistons employed may if desired be operated by hand, or may be controlled mechanically and automatically from the machine.
