Title: Improvements in and relating to Detachable Wheels for Motor Vehicles and the like.
Inventor: PUGH JOHN VERNON
IPC: B60B3/18
Filed: 1909-12-23
Granted: 1910-12-22
Abstract: 30,091. Pugh, J. V., and Pountney, F. Dec. 23. Hubs.-Detachable wheels have a single continuous screw-thread cut in the hub engaging a similar thread on the permanent hub, or on a part rotatable, but incapable of lateral movement, thereon. A rotatable screw-threaded member f, Fig. 7, is secured against lateral movement by a projecting flange g held between the end of the permanent hub b and the flange i on a cylinder h screwed thereto or by a spring ring engaging registering grooves in the member f and permanent hub. The member f engages with a screw - thread d on the detachable hub, and, by its rotation, attaches or detaches the hub. The parts may be locked in position by the spring-pressed plate k, guided on pins, screws, &c. carried by the member f and provided with serrations n at its periphery which engage similar serrations on the detachable hub. The two hub parts may be directly screwed together as in Fig. 7, accidental disengagement being prevented by spring-pressed pawls 1 in one part engaging ratchet teeth on the other, or by bolts; or the detachable hub may have conical ends 4, 5, Fig. 8, seating on a fixed conical part on one end of the permanent hub and a conical nut 6 locked by a pawl 8 on the other end.

Filed: 1909-12-29
Granted: 1910-10-13
Abstract: 30,419. Rimailho, E. Jan. 15, [Convention date). Buffers.-The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises devices for damping the rebound of springs of buffers &c. by single-acting frictional elements, which permit the spring to be compressed freely but absorb the return shock. Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation and Fig. 2 a sectional plan of one form applied to a buffer. The frictional apparatus is disposed between the cylinder casing d and the buffer-rod g. The latter has a portion of increased diameter shaped as a truncated cone, and the friction wedges f fit between the core and the cylinder. Springs k, m, acting axially and circumferentially, press the, friction elements downward and outward. Other forms of friction element may be used, and the spring may be a double one acting telescopically. This subject - matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 4555. Cary, S. C. Feb. 23. [Addition to 22,522/08.] Carpets and mats.-Metallic fabrics for floor coverings or mats, composed of units as described in the parent Specification, are reinforced at the edges, and are provided with inserts or filling-pieces. A folded or channelled strip D, Figs. 1 and 2, is placed at the edges of the fabric, and is arranged to be flush with the upper and lower edges of the units b, b<1>. The links C are extended beyond the units, and are bevelled or shaped as shown in Fig. 4. The tongues g<2> are passed through the member D, and are bent over to secure it.

Patent GB-191013079-A (GB)
Title: Improved Cam Mechanism specially applicable for Controlling Variable-speed Gearing.
Inventor: RUCK RICHARD MATTHEWS
IPC: F16H25/16
Filed: 1910-05-30
Granted: 1911-05-25
Abstract: 13,079. Ruck, R. M. May 30. Controlling variable-speed gearing.-Cam mechanism, specially applicable to the control of variable-speed gearing, comprises operating and locking cams and a system of lockable, spring, and other levers arranged with a view to coordinating the oscillations of a lever A with the motion of a rotary shaft B. The system of levers is duplicated in the arrangement shown, so as to actuate positively in both directions a presser-bar N, which may be the variable-speed gear operating-bar J described in Specification 16,105/07. The operating-cam C and a locking- cam D secured together on the constantly - rotating shaft B are adapted to be engaged respectively by rollers c, d upon levers E, H. Each lever E is supported on a pivot e, and is connected bv a link F to the lever A. The levers H, which are supported on pivots h, are for locking the levers E clear of the cam C. A catch K on each lever H is adapted for this purpose to engage a nose k on the lever E. Springs J ensure that the levers E are normally kept locked, the rollers d, c all being clear of the cams. The lever system on the right of the Figure shows this 'locked' configuration. When a trigger-lever M is actuated to displace a lever H, a lever E is released, and a spring G causes the corresponding roller c to be pressed against the cam C. The lever E then moves conformably with the shape of the cam C, and the lever A is displaced. In the lever system shown on the left of the Figure this action is taking place. After each revolution of the shaft B, the lever systems are returned to the ' locked ' positions, unless the lever M remains tilted to one side or the other, according to the direction in which the lever A is to be displaced. The ends of the links F adjacent to the lever A are slotted to allow the lever systems to work independently.
