Patent GB-190618842-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in connection with Tramway and the like Points
Inventor: KNEEN WILLIAM
Filed: 1906-08-23
Granted: 1907-06-20
Abstract: 18,842. Kneen, W. Aug. 23. Electric and rope tramways, conduits for. Consists in using at junctions an auxiliary pivoted switch tongue which has its free end pointing towards the oncoming plough or the like, and in so arranging this facing switch that a considerable range of movement in excees of that absolutely necessary is permissible, in order that, even if the rail switch is blocked by mud &c., the facing switch will be free to complete its movement. This arrangement ensures correct guidance of the plough or the like and protects the fixed tongue of the conduit. Fig. 2 shows a plan and Fig. 3 a sectional elevation of a conduit junction with the facing switch and operating-mechanism therefor. The auxiliary tongue a is pivoted to the under portion of the fixed overhung slot tongue b. The end of the tongue is tapered so that, even if it is not completely operated, the plough will automatically complete the movement and be correctly guided. The tongue may be operated by thrust rods acting on a rear extension of the tongue beyond the pivot. These thrust rods are preferably moved by the track points. A modified method of operating is shown in Figs. 2 and 3, in which thrust levers 5 act upon the forward portion of the tongue. These levers only move together with the tongue as far as the edge of the slot, the plough or the like moving the tongue completely over. To permit the necessary movements of the thrust levers, the connexion of the operating-levers is through a pin- and-slot arrangement 7, 8. According to the Provisional Specification, it may be desirable to bring the upper surface of the auxiliary tongue on a level, or nearly so, with the road surface so as to fill up the gap, or to arrange a slide, or slides, to move in and out from the side of the conduit. It is also stated that, in the case where the tramcar is guided from or by means of the conduit slot, the auxiliary switch would be placed on the surface and be of suitable shape to correspond with the curve of the rails.

Title: Improvements in Gear Changing Devices for Motor Propelled Vehicles.
Inventor: DOOLITTLE PERRY ERNEST
Filed: 1906-11-14
Granted: 1907-11-14
Abstract: 25,737. Doolittle, P. E. Nov. 14. Variable - speed gearing.-In change-speed gearing of the sliding toothed type, means are provided for equalizing the tooth speeds of the wheels to be meshed before they come into gear. Several pairs of friction drums, one pair corresponding in speed ratio to each forward speed and reverse, are arranged in an extension of the gear case as shown in plan in Fig. 1, the two drums of any pair being geared together by a friction roller pressed between them. When any particular speed is being engaged, the first part of the movement of the operating-lever presses the friction roller between the corresponding pair of drums, and further movement engages the gear-wheels and releases the friction gearing. The reverse drums 5, 5<a> are mounted respectively on the main driving-shaft 9 and the countershaft 4. The forward drums 6<a>, 7<a>, 8<a> are mounted on the shaft 9, while the corresponding drums 6, 7, 8 are mounted on the shaft 2, which carries the reversing pinion 1 gearing continuously with the pinion 3 on the countershaft 4. The pairs of drums are provided with friction rollers 5<c>, 6<c>, 7<c>, 8<c> carried by levers 5<b>, 6<b>, 7<b>, 8<b> mounted on a spindle 10, one such arrangement being shown in Fig. 9. The rollers are normally retracted by springs, but are pressed into gear with their respective-drums by means of cams 17, 18, 19 carried by a holder 12 mounted on a sliding rod 11, the cams being arranged so as to engage small rollers 5<d>, 6<d>, 7<d>, 8<d> on the levers. The spindle 11 is connected to the spindle 20 operating the gear-wheels in such a way that the friction gearing corresponding to any particular speed is first engaged so as to synchronize the shafts, and then the gear-wheels are engaged and the friction gear released. A suitable form of apparatus for effecting this is shown in Fig. 14. The spindle 11 carries a collar 31 arranged between springs 29 which abut against the closed ends of a casing 25 connected by an arm 26 to the spindle 20. When the spindle 11 is first moved to put in a certain speed, the casing 25 is held by means of pawls 32, 33 which engage teeth on a rack fixed to the gear case. When the spindle 11 has been moved sufficiently, a projection on the collar 31 depresses the tail end of the pawl holding the casing 25. The casing is then forced forward by the spring, which has been compressed by the previous movement, and thereby puts the gearwheels into mesh.

Granted: 1907-11-07
Abstract: 26,137. Massey, H. F., and Snow, W. H. Nov. 19. Hammers, power.-In a pneumatic power hammer of the pump-piston type, compressed air at a comparatively low pressure is supplied to the underside of the hammer'piston through a non-return valve to raise the tup after the stroke of the hammer, and the raising force is varied by putting the clearance space into connexion with one or a number of clearance chambers. The top F of the pump cylinder communicates with the top G of the hammer cylinder through a port d, which is covered when the hammer piston a nears the top of its stroke. Air can then enter in one direction only through the port E and valve h, and the piston is cushioned in its upward-movement. The compressed air at the underside of the hammer may be obtained from a pump formed on the underside H of the pump piston, air passing through a oneway valve p. By means of a valve r, the clearance space q can be put into communication with one, some, or all of the clearance chambers x, y, z, 1 of varying size. One-way valves k, m prevent the formation of a vacuum in the pump cylinder.
