Patent GB-190509223-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to the Suspension of Motor Read and like Vehicles.
Inventor: BLANC WILLIAM
Filed: 1905-05-02
Granted: 1906-05-02
Abstract: 9223. Blanc, W., and Paiche, L. June 21, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Adjusting bearings; supporting or mounting. -Rotates to a frictional device for diminishing oscillations of motor road vehicles and other vehicles. A vertical shaft a, bolted to a bracket b that is fixed with the spring o to the axle p, oscillates in a bearing d, which is connected by pivots j to a bracket t pivoted to the frame of the vehicle. The sectional brasses g have conical ends bearing against the conical bottom r of the casing, and are adjusted by the nut e, held by the lock-nut f. The friction of the bearing checks the vibration of the vehicle. A spring to compensate for wear may be inserted between the nut e and the brasses g. The device may be arranged so that the shaft has a rotary instead of a longitudinal motion on its bearings. The shaft may be fixed to the vehicle and the bearing to the axle. The Specification in the original form, as published under the Act of 1901, comprises also a statement that the device is applicable as a bearing for transmission shafts. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as published.

Abstract: 4518. Opsahl, J. B. Feb. 24. Electric railways and tramways; points and switches; collectors.-Relates to means for electrically operating the track and conductor points of electric c railways and tramways from the vehicles. The usual trolly pole B is arranged to carry also a miniature bow or collector H adapted to contact with short auxiliary conductors G, suspended immediately before the points, so as to energize a solenoid W and operate the point tongue X. The point tongues are normally kept in a definite position by means of a spring, and the conductors G are of such a length that the points are kept reversed until the rear wheels of the car have passed. The auxiliary conductors are suspended and insulated from the usual trolly wires and electrically connected to the solenoid W. The miniature collector is kept in its raised position by a spring J, and is depressed by the carman pulling a cord L and securing a ring M on a hook N. To operate the points from the front of the car, the additional collector is insulated by sleeves Q', Q<3> and connected through a switch on the driver's platform to the motor - controller. The overhead - conductor points can also be connected up so as to be operated simultaneously.

Abstract: 16,171. Perkins, F. J., and Smith, J. W. Aug. 17, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Clutches. - Consists in a clutch mechanism whereby a crank-shaft 38, Fig. 9, may be rotated by steps of half a turn in order to raise or lower connecting-rods and pivoted levers which carry an endless rotating work-bed of a hide-dressing machine, power being derived from a continuously rotating shaft 39. The spring-pressed clutch member 41 slides on the crank-sbaft 38, and has projections 43 for engaging the recessed member 40 of the driving-shaft 39. It also has a cam 54 for engaging a wedge-block 53 on an arm 50 which can be raised or lowered by a pedal-shaft 51. Depression of the pedal raises the wedge and allows the spring 44 to engage the clutch so that the cranks 37 and hide bed are raised. Release of the pedal causes the lever 50 to drop, whereupon the wedge 53 engages the cam 54 and disengages the clutch when the crankshaft has made about half a revolution, further motion being arrested by the engagement of one of the stops 57 with the block 58 on the lever.

Abstract: 24,076. Wright, W., and Wright, O. Nov. 18, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Aerial machines without aerostats; aeroplanes; steer - ing.-In a flying- machine having one or more aeroplanes with lateral portions capable of being adjusted while in flight to different angles of incidence on the right and left hand sides of the machine, a rear rudder together wita front rudder or fixed vertical plane, or with both, is provided in order to check the tendency of the machine to turn about a vertical axis when an adjustment of the inclination of the aeroplanes is made. The machine may be provided with superposed planes 1, 2, the front edges of the planes being rigidly connected together by rods 5 and by crossed stays a ; the rear edges of the planes, except the central portion which is stayed by cords a, are connected by rods 5 loosely jointed to the beams forming the frames of the planes. The side parts of the rear beams are hinged at b to the central part so that these side parts may be adjustably inclined by cords 6 connected to the extremities of the rear edge of the upper plane 1. The extremities of the rear edge of the lower plane are connected by a cord 17 guided by pulleys 18. The cord 6 is connected at the points 6<a>, 6<b> to a cord 8<a> passing over a pulley 10, operated by a hand-lever and held in its adjusted position by a brake. In operation, assuming that the cord 6 is operated upon to lower the right-hand side of the plane 1, the rear part of the lower plane is also lowered through the connecting - rods 5. This causes a pull on the cord 17 so as to raise the rear part of the left-hand side of the lower plane, and through the rods 5 also raises the corresponding part of the upper plane. The front and rear vertical rudders 24, 20 are turned in opposite directions by a cord 23 passing over a hand-wheel 28 and are arranged to produce a couple to neutralize the couple produced by the adjusted planes which tends to cause the machine to turn about a vertical axis. A brake 30, Fig. 4, adjusted by a screw 31, holds the wheel 28 in any position. The handwheels 10, 28 can be mounted close together so that they may be moved simultaneously by one hand. A fixed plane 27 is also provided to counteract the tendency of the machine to turn. An horizontal plane 32 operated by a hand-wheel 35 is provided for steering the machine vertically.
