Granted: 1904-06-02
Abstract: 25,914. Holman, C. G. B. Nov. 27. Speed indicators. -An indicator is moved forward a certain distance during part of each revolution of a wheel of the vehicle or machine, and during the rest of the revolution is moved backward by a spring, the action which is retarded by a flywheel or weighted escapement. The average position of the pointer depends on the speed of the wheel. A stud on the wheel strikes a spring lever driving a ratchet-wheel D by means of a pawl ; or strikes one of a set of radial bars L, on the same spindle as a second set of bars K, which gear with a wheel D. A pinion F, fixed to the axle 0 of the wheel D, gears with a wheel B on the shaft of the indicator hand, on which is also a spring S, fixed at one end to the case. On the axle of the wheel D is a ratchet-wheel E, and also a loose wheel C connected with the escapement G or other retarding mechanism, and carrying a spring pawl H bearing on the ratchet-wheel. Thus only the backward action of the spring, and not the feeding action of the stud, is retarded.
