Patent GB-191218604-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Detachable Wheels and in Spanners for Fixing and Unfixing the same.
Inventor: RILEY VICTOR
IPC: B60B3/18
Filed: 1912-08-13
Granted: 1913-07-24
Abstract: 18,604. Riley, V., and Riley S. Aug 13. Detaching from and attaching to permanent hubs.-A nut 1, Fig. 1, for securing and withdrawing a detachable wheel comprises concentric cylindrical parts 2, 3, connected by a part 4 forming a housing for a spring-pressed ring 6 having teeth to engage similar teeth on the detachable wheel hub and pins 10, with inclined surfaces 13, which project through holes in the part 4 and through slots 12, Fig. 8, with inclined surfaces 14 in a ring 9, which is rotatable relative to the hub 1 for the purpose of withdrawing the locking-ring 6 from engagement with the teeth of the detachable hub. The cylindrical part 3 of the nut has an upstanding flange 22 on its inner edge, and wide notches are cut across the periphery thereof, including the flange, and narrow notches 24 are cut in the periphery of the rotatable ring 9. The spanner 25, Figs. 12 and 13, has projections 26 on its inner periphery which fit the notches 24 in the rotatable ring and have a certain amount of play in the notches on the nut, segmental flanges 27, equal in length to the notches in the nut, at its inner side, and plates 28 at its outer side. In unscrewing the nut, the movement of the spanner fir,t actuates the ring 9, thus disengaging the locking-ring, and bringing the segmental flanges 27 behind the flange 22 on the nut, which is subsequently turned by the engagement of the spanner projections 26 with the ends of the notches therein. Wheu screwing-up the nut, in the event of the locking-ring failing to become properly engaged with the teeth of the detachable hub, the pins 10 project in front of the plates 28 on the spanner and prevent it from being moved into the pnsition in which the segmental flanges 27 coincide with the notches in the nut, which is the only position in which the spanner can be removed. The rotatable ring is held in position by a spring-pressed ball carried by the nut and engaging a depression in the ring. A cover-plate 15 is non-rotatably connected to the nut by projections 16 and screws passing through slots in the ring 9, or by other suitable means, and has apertures to guide the pins 10. In a modification, Figs. 16, 17, the locking-pawls 29 are carried by a spring-controlled ring 30 which is moved outwards by inclined surfaces 32 on the spanner engaging behind lugs 33 thereon. In this case also the spanner can be removed in one position only, in which position plates 34 carried on the outer face of the spanner come over the lugs 33, this being impossible unless the pawls are in their locking position.

Title: Machine or Apparatus for Affixing and Cancelling Postage and other Stamps, Labels, Tickets and other like Gummed Papers.
Inventor: STILES NOEL RAY
IPC: B65C11/04
Filed: 1912-09-11
Granted: 1913-08-28
Abstract: 20,745. Stiles, N. R. Sept. 11. Coating webs.-Relates to the general construction of machines for affixing adhesive stamps. The end stamp of the strip is damped and turned beneath an affixing-plunger 11 by a pad 24, Fig. 6, which is carried by a lever 18 pivoted at 19, Fig. 1, and is normally in contact with a wick 25 projecting from a water-tank 26. A link 20 pivoted to the plunger swings the lever 18. When the pad returns, it bends the next stamp of the strip round a stop 45, Fig. 6, so that the end stamp rests on the curved surface 44 of the tank 26. When it is desired to deliver dry stamps from the machine, a pin 28, Fig. 1, is moved by hand into such a position that it turns a shield 27 over the pad 24. According to a modification, a grooved roller 24, Fig. 9, is carried by the lever 18, Fig. 1, and presses the stamps upon hollow perforating- needles 24<a> which serve both to cancel or date the stamps and to deliver drops of water for affixing them. The tail 24<i> of a lever pivoted on a water-tank 24 carried by the plunger 1 contacts with a fixed stop 24<j> to cause the lever to press upon a diaphragm 24<g> over the tank and so to eject water through the needles. Before the plunger reaches the bottom of its stroke, the plate 24<e> which carries the needles and the tank is arrested by a stop 24<f> to cause the needles to recede into the pad 11.

Filed: 1912-11-01
Granted: 1913-09-11
Abstract: 25,050. Wall, W. W., and Wall, W. H. Nov. I. Variable-speed belt gearing comprises a pair of intermediate expansible pulleys carried on a lever C, which is readily attachable to the frame of a motor-cycle. The intermediate pulleys have a movable flange M, Fig. 2, in common. They are driven by a belt P, Fig. 1, and transmit power through a belt Q. The lever C is supported on a pivot B held in position by a clip A. On the base of the pivot B is a helical cam E, Fig. 2, coacting with a cam surface F on the lever C, which is thrust inwards by a spring G. As the lever C is turned about the pivot B to vary the speed ratio, the cams E, F operate to slide the lever C along the pivot B, the effect being that the belts P, Q are held in proper alinement with the engine and road-wheel pulleys, respectively. The lever C moves over a notched quadrant N, Fig. 1.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Variable Speed Gears for Velocipedes and like Road Vehicles.
Inventor: MARFELL CLIFFORD WILLIAM
IPC: B62M11/14
Filed: 1913-03-11
Granted: 1913-12-11
Abstract: 5988. Marfell, C. W. March 11. Variable - speed epicyclic gearing for cycles &c. comprises two epicyclic trains C, B, D and G, J, H, which yield four speed ratios. The train C, B, D transmits power for three ratios, in one of which the sun-gear C is driven at a low speed by the other train. Spindles A3 of the planets B are carried by a driving- member A<2>. The internally-toothed ring D is connected through a ratchet clutch E<2> with the hub E to be driven. The gear C is adapted to slide on a fixed axle F and carries clutch teeth C<2> adapted to engage like teeth on the sun-gear G, which is fixed. The internallytoothed ring H is adapted to slide with and to turn upon the gear C. The planets J are carried by a sliding sleeve J<2>, which has ratchet teeth J<3> adapted to be engaged by pawls carried by the hub in a space E<3>. The gear C is connected by a cross-piece L and spring K<3> to a cross-piece K upon the sleeve J<2> which rests against a fixed abutment on a pull-rod K<2>. The configuration of Fig. 2 yields the first or lowest speed. Pawls H<2> upon the ring H engage teeth on the gear C and drive it forward, the sleeve J<2> being driven by the hub. When the rod K<2> is released, it is thrust to the left by a spring K<5> until the teeth C<2> become locked to the gear G. The pinions B roll on the fixed gear C driving the ring D and hub at the fourth or highest speed. When the rod K<2> is pulled to the right from the configuration of Fig. 2, the parts come into the configuration of Fig. 3, yielding the second or normal speed. The spindles A<3> are engaged by holes H<3> in the ring H, which is locked to the gear C by the pawls H<2>, Fig. 2, causing the train C, B, D to turn solid. The ratchet J<3> has become disengaged. The third speed is obtained when the rod K<2> is moved further to the right, causing clutch teeth J<4> on the planetcarrier J<2> to engage like teeth on the gear C. The ring H still turns at the same speed as the member A<2>. The carrier J<2> and gear C turn forwards at a reduced speed. The speed of the ring D is thus less than when the gear C is fixed, power passing through both trains.
