Title: Improvements in or relating to Variable Speed Gearing
Inventor: HENRIOD CHARLES EDOUARD
Filed: 1908-01-13
Granted: 1909-01-07
Abstract: 824. Henriod, C. E. March 20,1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c Act, 1907]. Motor road vehicles.- In epicyclic change-speed and reversing driving-gear contained within a flywheel, which may be in two parts connected by a clutch, planet-wheels are rotated by their engagement with any one of a series of sun-wheels, any one of which may be held against rotation by non-rotating means sliding on the driven shaft. Toothed or friction gearing may be used. In the form shown in Fig. 1, sun-wheels 9, 44, 10 are connected by sleeves slidable on the driven shaft 4 to pairs of pins 11,47, which are permanently engaged and kept from rotating by operating-forks. The fly-wheel is made with one part 1 secured to the engine shaft 1<1>, and another relatively-rotatable part 2 connected to the part by a flanged ring 15. The main or engine clutch may take the form of a friction cone 3 slidable on a feather &c. on the part 2 and normally held in engagement with the part 1 by springs 48. The planet-wheels 45,7, 46,8 rotate together upon spindles 6 which extend from the part 2 to an annular disk 2<1> rotating loosely on the shaft 4. The driven gear is a toothed annulus 5 meshing with the wheel 45 and secured to the shaft 4. Three speeds and a reverse respectively are produced by sliding the proper sun-wheel into mesh with the wheels 45, 7, 46 and with an idler 43 meshing with the wheel 8. These speeds are greater than a solid drive which is obtainable when clutch claws 13 permanently in engagement with the disk 2<1> are thrust out to engage also the web of the annulus 5. In a form shown in Fig. 3, planetwheels 8<1>, 7<1>, 19<1> permanently mesh with sun-wheels 8, 7, 19 loose on the shaft 4 and adapted to be held singly against rotation by a clutch-head 21<1> on a non-rotating sliding sleeve 21. Driving is effected from a planet-wheel 18 to a sun-wheel 17 fast on the shaft 4, and the part fly-wheel 2 envelops the planet-wheels on both sides. Solid driving is effected when the clutch strikes the end of a lever 20, which has claws adapted to clamp the planet-wheels 19<1> &c. to the part 2. In modified forms, the fly-wheel parts 1, 2 are secured together, and, to avoid shocks, the pins 11 &c. are operated by a special spring fork 33, Fig. 5. The application of the gear to motor-vehicles is mentioned. The Specification, in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also an arrangement in which the planet-elements are bevel-pinions loose upon and clutchable to radial spindles, and permanentlyin mesh with toothed rings upon a non-rotatable disk. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1909-10-21
Abstract: 26,909. Imray, O., [Kaltschmid, C., (Firm of)]. Dec. 11. Burners, applications of; burners, materials for.-In a vapour burner of the kind in which the fuel supply wick-tube is composed of german silver, nickel, constantan, or some other bad conductor, to prevent transmission of heat to the fuel reservoir, the connexion between the supply - tube and the burner is made by a separate piece, soldered to the supply-tube and constructed of a good conductor such as copper, brass, &c. The end of the tube is thus kept warm, and the capillary action of the wick assisted. The invention is particularly applicable to portable burners such as those used for flat irons. The burner shown in Fig. 1 is attached to the back of an iron by a suspension plate d, provided with slots by which it may be hung upon pins projecting from the body of the iron. The spirit reservoir a is connected with the vaporizer f by means of the fuel-supply pipe b, which contains a wick and is formed of german silver or other badly conducting metal. The vapour passes through the pipe e and the nozzle h, mixes with air drawn in through the openings k, and burns at orifices i. Heat is conducted to the plate d by the curved bar m. A loose collar o, screwing upon a thread p, forces the cone n of good conducting metal, such as brass, tightly against the vaporizer. In place of the cone n, the connecting-means may be a flange of triangular, oval, or other form provided with holes for set-screws. The wicktube may be bent downwards to the spirit reservoir, instead of upwards as shown, or it may be horizontal. The wick-tube may be made with thin walls when german silver is used.
