Abstract: 5863. Humphery, E. J., and Liwentaal, A. March 11. Variable-speed gearing. -In a motor-car, the motor is pivotally suspended at the rear of the vehicle and drives by means of variable-speed friction gearing, variation of speed being effected from the steering-column. Figs. 1 and 3 are side and rear elevations of the vehicle, and Fig. 4 shows a detail of the driving- gear. On the rear axle is supported a tubular framework comprising two triangular end frames connected by transverse bars, on one of which K' is pivotally mounted the motor B. The crank shaft is of telescopic construction, and is adapted to drive by its ends the curved or coned surfaces C on the wheel axles. For reversing, the motor is swung on vertical trunnions so as to turn the crank-shaft end for end. The driving- cylinders B<4>, Fig. 4, are screwed into sleeves B<18> having a feather connexion with the crank-shaft B3, and are pressed into engagement with the disks C by springs B<21> resting at their inner ends on collars B<16> having a ball thrust bearing on the crank casing. The springs B<21> are enclosed in casings B<15> having sliding connexions with the sleeves B<18>. The engine is moved for varying the speed by swinging the steering-column about horizontal trunnions E<3>, the lower end of the column being connected to the engine casing by a rod I. As a modification, the driving-cylinders may be rigidly secured to the crank-shaft and the disks C mounted slidably and pressed into engagement by springs. In a modified form of the friction driving-mechanism, the disks C are formed with a number of cylindrical surfaces having concentric corrugations on their inner and outer surfaces adapted for engagement with a corrugated cylinder slidably mounted on the engine crank-shaft. The engine is turned for reversing by a Bowden wire connected at one end to a drum on the steering-column, and at its other end passed round a pulley B<13> on the axis of the vertical trunnions on which the engine is mounted. The drum is rotated by a handle F at the upper end of the column. Reversal may also be effected by traversing the crank-shaft beyond the centre of the disks C.

Patent GB-190709578-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Economisers for Internally Fired Steam Boilers with One or More Large Flues.
Inventor: NICOLSON JOHN THOMAS
Filed: 1907-04-25
Granted: 1908-04-23
Abstract: 9578. Nicolson, J. T. April 25. Heating water.-Feedwater-heaters to be placed in the furnace flues of Cornish and like boilers, and constructed in accordance with the principles set forth in Specification No. 5140, A.D. 1907, comprise a double-walled cylinder or its equivalent placed concentric with the flue tube and enclosing elements forming narrow passages for the feedwater and the flue gases. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the double-walled cylinder a provided with helically-disposed angle-irons h encloses a number of feed-heaters each consisting of concentric tubes k, l connected respectively to headers n, m. The feed-water enters at m, flows to the header n through the elements, passing along first the inner and then the outer surfaces of guide-tubes o, and finally by way of the pipe n' enters the drum a, which it traverses before reaching the water space of the boiler. The flue gases pass along the outer and inner surfaces of the drum and through the tubes l to the passage e ; dust, ashes, &c. thrown off at the sharp turns of the gases are received in spaces provided for the purpose. The dampers i, j are opened when a through draught is desired. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the drum a contains two series of smoke-tubes t, u, the latter being surrounded by water-tubes w connecting headers m, n. The feed-water enters the header m, flows through the tubes w to the header n, and thence, through guide-tubes r surrounding the smoke-tubes t, to the outer annular space of the drum a and so to the boiler. The flue gases turn twice as before, flowing through the tubes t, u in succession. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, the water flows from the header x to the header y through tubes v and thence to the drum a, while the combustion products pass around the latter and through the tube w surrounding the tubes v. The header y con-, tains granite chippings, coke, or the like to take up the sediment deposited from the hot feed-water. A damper. 2 permits the furnace gases to escape direct to the passage z without traversing the tube w. Water may be withdrawn from the boiler and passed with the feed-water through the feedheaters, for example as shown in Fig. 4, by means of a pump 4 and pipes 5, 6. The Provisional Specification describes a modification in which three or more double-walled concentric drums are placed within the flue tube, the gases passing in the same devious manner among the drums ; or one outer drum and several such sets of concentric drums arranged within it may be employed. Moreover, the dust and ashes collected in a space at the rear of the flue may be removed by opening the space to the fan suction.

Title: Improvements in Pneumatic Percussive Tools.
Inventor: KELLER WILLIAM HOEHLE
Filed: 1907-06-05
Granted: 1908-06-05
Abstract: 12,986. Keller, W. H. June 5. Percussive hand tools. - In a valve - mechanism for a, pneumatic tool for chipping or riveting metal &c., cutting and dressing stone &c., and caulking boilers or vessels of the type in which the valve is in alinement with the cylinder, a symmetrical balanced valve is used having two outer ungrooved heads and a central head all of uniform diameter, the outer heads of which are continuously open to pressure. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, air passes from the passage 2 by restricted ports 11, 12, 14 to the opposite ends of the valve. When the valve is in its rear position, air passes through a groove 4, neck 5, and a port 8 to the rear of the piston which is driven out, exhaust from the front end passing first through a port 30, passage 28, and ports 29, 23, and then through a passage 18, Fig. 2, port 19, neck 20, port 21, chamber 22, and port 23. When the piston uncovers the port 24, air is exhausted from the front of the valve through passages 26, 28, &c., and the valve is moved forward. Air passes round the neck 20, port 19, and passage 18 to drive back the piston, exhaust from the rear end passing first through passages 28 &c., and then through the port 8, neck 5, and ports 29, 23. The piston, on uncovering the ports 30, 31, allows air to be exhausted from the rear of the valve, which is thus moved rearwardly. A grooved piston may be used. The same valve mechanism maybe used for along-stroke piston as for the short-stroke piston described. The rear cap of the valve box is dispensed with, the inner wall of the handle being used for this purpose. The heads of the valve may be made hollow.
