Abstract: 6282. Smith, H. A. April 4. Motor road vehicles, variable-speed gearing for. The driving-shaft 2 has keyed to it a series of wheels, of different diameter, which gear with corresponding wheels, loose on the driven shaft 3. A split ring 10 is interposed between the eye of each wheel and a boss on the shaft 10, and in each boss is fitted a radial key 20, the outer end of which enters between the bevelled ends of the rings. The inner ends of the keys are in the path of a roller 23. mounted in a tubular slide 21 fitted on the shaft 3, so that by suitably moving this slide any one of the keys may be forced outwards to expand its ring and lock the corresponding wheel to the shaft. The position of the roller in the slide is controlled by a wedge adjustment 27, 28, 29. The wheels shown are spur-wheels, but the invention is also applicable to belt, rope, or chain gearing.

Title: Improvements in Locomotives and Cars for Use on what are known as Single-rail Elevated Railways.
Inventor: REES EDMUND SCOTT GUSTAVE
Filed: 1901-06-08
Granted: 1902-05-15
Abstract: 11,742. Rees, E. S. G. June 8. Electric locomotives and motor vehicles.-Relates to locomotives and cars for use on single-rail elevated railways. Fig. 1 shows a transverse section through the lower portion of an electricallypropelled car body. Pivoted to brackets H near the longitudinal centre of the locomotive or car are rockers G, furnished with guide-wheels J running on guide-rails K. At the outer ends, springs L are interposed between the rockers and the bogies, so that the rocking forces are resisted by the guide rails through the medium of these springs and the rockers. In different modifications, the rockers are sometimes connected to the axle-boxes and sometimes to the bogie frames, with and without the interposition of springs. In the case of electricallypropelled vehicles, the axles may be driven by chaingear from a motor situated as at R, or the armature may be built directly on the axle and the field magnets may then be mounted on the rockers either on springs or directly. This arrangement is shown in one form in Fig. 5. In this, the field magnets C<1> are mounted directly on the rockers G<1> which are pivoted to the axle-boxes. When two guiderails are used on each side, the lower wider apart than the upper, the guide-wheels are made conical, as shown, so that vertical movement of the wheels have no tendency to force them apart. The bogies are arranged beyond the ends of the car body, which is made with portions of the framing extending beyond the ends for connection with the bogies. The connection is made through transverse bolsters which are supported either by brackets secured to the bogie frame-plates or by longitudinal beams resting on and connecting together the outer ends of the portions G. A method of bracing the rockers on each side together by oblique braces, when a single guide rail is used, is also shown.

Abstract: 8802. Richards, F. H. April 15. Moulding balls.- A seamless or other shell A of celluloid or other hard material is placed in a cavity in a two or three part mould E, F, and is filled with melted guttapercha &c. L, which is forced into it through a tube H by a plunger K. When the shell is filled, the filling- material escapes through a vent P and outlet N. The outlet is then closed by a screw plug and further pressure is applied to the plunger, so that the shell is expanded in the mould and is forced into the pits D' formed therein, so as to form a brambled surface on the ball. Pressure is continued until the ball hardens. Channels V are provided for steam to keep the gutta-percha hot, and channels U for cold water serve for cooling the moulded ball. The hole formed by the removal of the tube H is closed with a celluloid &c. plug. In some cases the shell is first filled with gutta-percha, which is melted in the mould, and a further quantity is forced in by the plunger K.
