Title: Improvements in Change-speed Mechanism, and in Reversing Mechanism, for Use, more especially, with Motor Cars.
Filed: 1901-05-08
Granted: 1902-04-10
Abstract: 9539. Wolseley Tool and Motor Car Co. and Austin, H. May 8. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to change-speed and reversing toothed driving-gear especially for motor cars. The objects are to,avoid shock when the gear is changed owing to the momentum of the revolving intermediate shaft and the wheels it carries, and to enable the wheels for a fresh speed to begin to slide into gear immediately after those previously in use begin to slide out of gear. Fig. 2 is a section taken through the gearing on the irregular line x-x in Fig. 1. Motion is to be transmitted from the shaft A to the shaft C, which may be in two parts connected by balance gear D constructed as described in Specification No. 4053, A.D. 1898. Loose on the shaft A are three pairs of toothed wheels, the two wheels in each pair being rigidly connected together. These wheels can be slidden laterally so as, in turn, to come into gear with the wheels a, b, c, d, e to give five forward speeds, and the wheels i, f to give the reverse motion. The pairs of driving-wheels on the shaft A are each furnished with lateral teeth by which they are clutched to the shaft, when shifted into their operative positions, through the medium of the discs G, G', H, H<1> which are fast on the shaft. In order that the gear shall not become locked during changing, the wheels for producing adjacent speeds are placed in different pairs. The several pairs of wheels are shifted by means of a rotary drum J by which the arms s, t, u are operated.

Title: Improvements in and connected with the Manufacture of Leather and the Preservation and Curing of Skins.
Filed: 1901-05-30
Granted: 1902-08-30
Abstract: 11,092. Lamb, M. C., and Spence & Sons, P. May 30. Tanning, tawing, and the like.-Relates to the manufacture of leather and the preservation and curing of skins and bides by the aid of titanium salts and compounds. The skins are subjected to the usual cleansing, depilating, and bating processes, and are then treated with a solution containing a titanium salt or compound, either alone or combined with known preserving, curing, or tanning agents. Basic sulphate of titanium is preferably employed, but other basic salts of titanium, such as the chloride or oxalate, may also be used. The solution may be prepared by dissolving basic sodium-titanium sulphate in water and neutralizing any excess of sulphuric acid with sodium carbonate. The skins after treatment are washed with water and with a dilute solution of borax or with a weak alkaline solution. The further process of fat-liquoring, mordanting, and dyeing are proceeded with in the usual manner. Partly-tanned leather may be treated in the same way, or, if completely tanned, it may be treated first with a solution of washing soda or other alkali to remove grease and part of the original tanning- material. Borax solution may be added to the solution of basic-titanium sulphate. The skins may be treated with vegetable or mineral tanning- agents after preliminary treatment with the titanium salt. Glucose, dextrin or sugar, and alkali may be added to the titanium solution, and colouring-matters may also be added so that dyeing and tanning proceed simultaneously. Mineral tanning-agentssuchas chromium, aluminium, oriron salts may also be added to the titanium solution. Goods treated in baths of titanium solution of gradually-increasing strength may be transferred to a bath containing a solution of common salt before washing. The titanium solution may be brushed on the flesh sides of the skins instead of immersing or agitating them in the solution.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Conveying or Forwarding Mechanism for use in Harvesting Machines, Swath Turning Machines, Hay Loading Machines, Side Delivery Horse Rakes, Elevating Machines or the like.
Inventor: CAVE DAVID
Filed: 1903-12-02
Granted: 1904-10-13
Abstract: 26,346. Cave, D. Dec. 2. Elevators and conveyers for agricultural purposes. The teeth of conveyers or forwarding- mechanism are so mounted that, during the return motion, they are withdrawn to the inner side of the carrier bars. When applied to barvesting-machines, this object is achieved by means of the mechanism shown in Fig. 1<a>. The teeth g are carried by rods f, pivotally connected by strips e to cross-bars c, which connect the sprocket chains a on each side of the apparatus. At the end of the return travel, the rods f impinge against a guide-rod h, by which means the teeth are pushed out. After passing the right-hand end of the rod h<1> the teeth are withdrawn by the action of gravity. In Fig. 1 is shown a method of actuation by rollers 5, 6, which move along a central guide-bar 10. Two rollers 6 are rendered necessary in each case by the supports 11<a> of the bar 10, which is situated eccentrically relatively to the chains. Instead of transverse rods 8, the teeth bars may be pivoted to brackets fixed to the chains. Fig. 6 shows the device applied to a swath-turning machine. Bars 7<a> carrying the teeth are hinged at the ends to bars 16 which connect the star-shaped frames 17. The latter derive motion from the driving- wheel 20 through a sleeve 19. To the bars 7<a> are pivoted couplings 4, the ends of which travel in an eccentrically-placed cam-groove 10<a>. Withdrawal of the teeth may also be effected by the employment of a grooved cam and single roller instead of the arrangement shown in Fig. 1. The Provisional Specification also describes mechanism in which the teeth are retained by spring catches.
