Title: Improvements in Speed Changing Mechanism.
Filed: 1903-05-30
Granted: 1904-03-24
Abstract: 12,426. Clayton & Shuttleworth, and Fletcher, W. May 30. Motor road vehicles; road locomotives. - Relates to speed-changing mechanism for traction engines, road locomotives, and self-propelled vehicles in which the various changes are effected by means of one lever, locking - devices being provided to prevent two speeds from being in action simultaneously. In one arrangement, a double spur-wheel 1, Fig. 1, and single spur-wheel 2 rotate with, but slide independently upon, a countershaft 3 parallel to a crank shaft 4, which carries spur-wheels 5, 6, 7. The actuating-lever is made in two parts. One part 10, shown separately in Fig. 4, is mounted on a fixed pivot 11, Fig. 3. One end of this part embraces a collar 8 on the wheel 1, and the other end, bent as shown, passes through a slot 14 in the plate 13, and may be secured in three different positions by passing a pin through the hole 15 and through one of the three holes 17 in the bracket 12. The three positions correspond, respectively, to having the wheels 1, 6 in gear, the wheels 1, 5 in gear, and the wheel 1 out of gear, as shown. The second part 19 of the lever is jointed by a pin 18 to the first part 10. One end is formed as a handle 20, and the other end is connected by a pin 21 to a link 22, which is jointed to a lever 23 pivoted on a pin 24 and forked to embrace a collar 9 on the wheel 2. The link 22 passes over a raised part of the bracket 12, and may be secured by a pin entering either of the holes 25, 26, according as the wheels 2,7 are in or out of gear. In the positions shown in Fig. 1, all the wheels are out of gear. To bring the wheels 2, 7 into gear, the part 10 is locked in the position shown by the pin 16 ; the lever 19 is then moved about the pin 18, and, when the wheels are in gear, they may be looked by inserting a pin in the hole 26. If the wheels 1, 5 had been in gear, the desired movement of the lever 19 could not have taken place, for the nut on the pin 18 would abut against the link 22 ; if the wheels 1, 6 were in gear, the lever 19 would abut against one end of the slot 14. To move the wheel 1 into gear with either of the wheels 5, 6, the link 22 must be locked in the position shown ; the pins 21, 11 are then co-axial, and the parts 10, 19 can move about this axis as one lever. In a modified arrangement, the lever 10, Fig. 8, is bent the reverse way and has slots 17 corresponding to the three holes shown in the bracket 12, Fig. 1. The link 22 is also notched to correspond with the holes 25, 26 and the locking-pins are replaced by spring-actuated arms 25, 16, Fig. 7, pivoted to the bracket 12.
