Title: Improved Means for Distributing and Controlling the Supply of Compressed Air or Gas to Pneumatic Friction Clutches for the Transmission Speed Gearing of Motor Road Vehicles and the like
Inventor: CADETT JAMES WILLIAM THOMAS
Filed: 1905-02-20
Granted: 1906-02-08
Abstract: 3502. Cadett, J. W. T. Feb. 20. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to step-by-step change-speed and reversing gearing for motor-cars and the like, in which the parallel driving and driven shafts are connected by different speed gears, brought into action by fluid-pressure friction clutches on the driving-shaft, and consists primarily of means for distributing and controlling the supply of fluid to the clutches and for allowing a certain amount of slip. The general arrangement of the gearing and various parts is shown in plan in Fig. 1. The driving-shaft 1 and the driven shaft are connected by any one of several speed gears, by means of pneumatic friction clutches 3, 4, which clutch the loosely-mounted gear-wheels 5 to the driving-shaft. The clutches are operated by air supplied from the controller 13 through tubes contained in the hollow shaft 1, or an extension 9 of the shaft. The air is supplied from a pump 20 worked from the driven shaft, and the pressure is regulated automatically from the device 19, or independently by the foot-pedal 30. Fig. 3 is a section on the axis of the driving-shaft 1 showing the clutch and the controller 13. The flexible portions 8 of the clutches are connected by separate ducts 6, 6<a> to ports 10 in the driving-shaft extension 9. Any one of the clutches is operated by moving the controller 13 longitudinally so as to bring the annular duct 16, which is supplied with air from the flexible pipe 18, over the corresponding port 10. Fig. 4 shows a section through the aircompressor 20, worked from the driven shaft, and the pressure-regulating device 19, the latter consisting of a cylinder containing a plunger 25, the pressure of air on one side of the plunger being balanced by a spring 26. The plunger is connected by linkwork to a relief valve 33, which thus allows air to escape when the pressure in the pipe exceeds a certain limit. The relief valve may be operated independently by the pedal 30. Fig. 5 shows the handle for operating the controller mounted on the steering-pillar. The handle is provided with a needle valve adjusted by a screw cap 43, so as to allow air to escape, when required, from the air pipe 18, for the purpose of allowing slip of the clutches.

Granted: 1906-03-15
Abstract: 5983. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. March 21. Armatures; sparking, preventing. - With the object of preventing sparking at the commut a t o r s of alternating- current dynamo - electric machines, an even number of separate armature windings, for example two, connected to alternate segments of the commutator is employed, the commutator brushes are made insufficiently wide to bridge two segments connected to the same winding, and, in order that the induced voltages at the successive segments may progress regularly in phase, each coil of the first winding is placed on the armature midway between the positions of the two adjacent coils of the second winding. This is effected in alternating-current motors with armatures having laminated slotted cores, without doubling the number of slots, by having the coil span of one winding a<2>, Fig. 1, wider to the extent of one slot than that of the other winding a', so that the centre lines of the coils are displaced from each other by half the distance between adjacent slots. In order that the coils of the two windings may have practically the same length, the coils a<1> of the smaller pitch are arranged with their sides at the outer ends of their containing-slots, while the coils a' have their sides on the inner sides of the slots, as shown in Fig. 2.

Title: Improvements in Railway Fog Signalling Apparatus.
Inventor: PARKER JOHN
Filed: 1905-09-14
Granted: 1906-08-23
Abstract: 18,584. Parker, J. Sept. 14. Detonator apparatus. - A slide-feed detonator apparatus for railway fog-signalling is provided with a detachable magazine having gravity feed of cylindrical detonators. Figs. 5 and 6 show longitudinal sectional views, Fig. 8 a plan view, and Fig. 7 a transverse sectional view of the apparatus. The detonators f are fed by gravity assisted by the action of a weight f from an inclined detachable magazine g secured by hooks g' to the apparatus, and fall into a sliding tube e, which is actuated by lever and rod connexions e<2> from the signal box, to convey the detonators on to the track rail j. The tube e slides on a fixed rod d<1>, and is guided by an attached portion e<1> sliding on guides c. A slot e<3> in the tube e allows the entrance of the detonator when the tube e is in the correct position, and in this case the tube e is drawn back into the position shown in Fig. 5, so that the end of the rod d<1> pushes the detonator nearly to the end of the tube e, where it is frictionally held. The next forward motion of the tube places the detonator on the rail as shown in Fig. 6, from which it may be temporarily withdrawn for a short distance if the signal shows ' safety.' If the detonator is exploded by a passing train, the tube e is drawn back and the next detonator falls into the slot, and, on further backward movement of the tube e, is pushed to the end of the tube by the rod d<1>, thus pushing out the spent detonator. When out of use, the magazine may be removed and a cover secured in its place, while a second sliding cover secures the operating-mechanism from tampering and weather. The cylindrical detonator is rounded at one end so as to fit into the correspondinglyshaped magazine in only one way.

Abstract: 10,074. Lloyd, H. F. April 30. Internal-combustion engines of the continuouscombustion type. To prevent back - firing and loss of heat through the cylinder walls, two- and four - stroke - cycle continuous - combustion engines suitable for motor road vehicles, boats, &c. are provided with air and gas inlet nozzles arranged concentrically in a piston valve in the cylinder head. In the two-strokecycle engine shown in Fig. 2, highly-compressed air from the pump l, Fig. 1, is admitted to the cylinder a through the passage d and port i, and induces a charge of gas, previously compressed by the pump o to a slightly lower pressure than that of the air charge, through the passage c and the annular port j formed in the mechanically - operated piston or other valve h. A supplementary supply of air, compressed to a pressure below that of the gas charge, enters the cylinder by way of the inlet pipe b and the port k. A portion of this latter charge is deflected by a shield s to the passage q and serves to prevent loss of heat through the walls of the combustion chamber p. If preferred, inert gases may be substituted for the supplementary air supply or the supply may be entirely dispensed with. The air and gas charges are stored in reservoirs formed of weld less steel tubing, one of which is shown at 3, Fig. 1. Governing.-Cams 7, 8, 9 for operating the cylinder and pump admission valves are mounted on an adjustable shaft 5 which passes through a rotating shaft 6. The shaft 5 is controlled by the governor.

Abstract: 19,731. Hildebrand, P., and Diessl, A. C. Sept. 6, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Void. [Published under Patents Act, 1901.] Telephone systems.-Relates to the automaticexchange telephone system described. in Specification No. 17,257, A.D. 1905, the duplicate contacts on the exchange switch for the purpose of preventing the interruption of a conversation being replaced by a multiple electro-magnetic selective switch for each subscriber. Fig. 1 shows part of the exchange apparatus for two subscribers T', T<5>. The ordinary exchange switchboards S<5>, S' contain pairs of contacts for all the other subscribers to the exchange, while the interruptionpreventing switches R<5>, R' comprise magnets 1<a>, 2<a> ... for each subscriber, the armatures h of which are arranged around the notched disk r. The magnets 1<a>, 2" ... of these switches are connected to the corresponding contacts of the switchboards S<2>, S<5> ... , e.g. the magnet 2<a> of the switch R<5> is connected to the contacts 5 on the switchboard S'. Thus, if the subscriber T' sets the contact-arm K of his switchboard S<2> on the contacts 5, the magnet 2<a> of the switch R<5> is energized, raising the further end of its armature h above the disk r and at the same time completing a local circuit whereby the disk r is rotated through a distance of one tooth. This movement breaks the circuit through the magnet 2<a>, so that the armature h falls into contact with the upper side of the disk r, while all the other magnets 1<a>, 3<a>, 4<a> ... are prevented from raising their armatures h because a tooth of the disk r is then above them. The armature h carries two insulated conductors connected to the wires leading to the magnet 2<a>, and the top of the disk r carries two contact-rings connected to zero contacts of the switchboard S' of the subscriber T<5>, so that when the armature h falls on to the disk r, a circuit is completed between the subscribers T<2>, T<5> which cannot be interrupted by any other subscriber. The rotating disk r may be replaced by a bar adapted to be displaced rectilinearly.
