Title: Improvements in or relating to Variable Speed Gearing.
Inventor: BIBBY JAMES EDWARD
IPC: F16H3/04
Filed: 1911-03-14
Granted: 1911-11-09
Abstract: 6366. Bibby, J. E. March 14. Variable-speed gearing.-Relates to changespeed gearing of the type comprising externally and internally toothed driving and driven elements capable of being moved to mutually eccentric and concentric positions, and an intermediate locking double toothed ring. A flywheel 21, Fig. 1, driven from a crank 31 has a central boss 23<a>, upon which is mounted loosely the boss 25 of a friction clutch member 20. The member 20 is normally thrust to the left into engagement with the fly-wheel 21 by a spring 22. The boss 25, which is supported by a bearing 24 from a fixed casing 8, carries the externally-toothed gear 26 at its end. The internally-toothed gear 4 has a boss 2, to which is secured a driven sprocket 1. In the concentric position of the gears 4, 26 shown in Fig. 1, these gears may be locked together to effect a solid high-speed drive by the double toothed ring 30, which is supported from a spindle 27 passing through the boss 2. The boss 2 is carried by a plate 6, which is movable about a pivot 7, Fig. 2, upon the casing 8 under the control of a pull-rod 9. The plate 6 is locked in two extreme positions and in a ' free-engine ' position by a spring plunger 11, Fig. 1, engaging three recesses 10, Fig. 2, in the casing 8. The ring 30 is kept from being thrust to the left under the action of the spring 22 by a fixed abutment 28. When the speed is to be changed, a plunger 18 is thrust to the right by Bowden &c. mechanism 16. The end of the plunger strikes an abutment 19 on the clutch member 20 and so disengages that clutch from the fly-wheel 21. A shoulder 15 on the plunger 18 then strikes a lever 14, and so disengages the locking- plunger 11. When the plate 6 is displaced, the spindle 27 clears the abutment 28, and the ring 30 is thrust to the left out of action by the spring 22. Further displacement of the plate 6 brings the parts into the configuration shown in Fig. 4, when the gear 4, &c. is driven at reduced speed, the clutch 20 automatically coming into action. When the plate 6 is returned to the high - speed position, the tapered end of the spindle 27 strikes an inclined flank on the abutment 28, so that the ring 30 is thrust to the right automatically at the proper time.
