Title: Improvements relating to Motor Road Vehicles
Filed: 1901-08-31
Granted: 1901-10-05
Abstract: 17,493. Lake, H. H., [Century Motor Vehicle Co.]. Aug. 31. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to automobiles in which the propelling power is applied to a longitudinal shaft journalled near its rear end in a casing enclosing the compensating-gear, such casing being loosely mounted on the inner ends of the rear axle casings, so that it can oscillate on these casings as the body of the car rises and falls and the longitudinal driving-shaft changes its position. The principal object is to provide for the lateral adjustment of the gear case independently of the ball bearings, and to provide for the oiling of the latter. Fig. 2 shows a horizontal section through the driving-gear and gear casing, in which C is the longitudinal driving-shaft, enclosed in a tubular casing E. The hollow rear axles F run in ball bearings in the axle casings G, and a cylindrical axle core L holds the two axles in line. The gear casing N enclosing the balance gear M, M<1> and the driving-pinion d has on each side projecting collars n embracing flanged adjusting- rings 0, which are screwed on the ends of the axle casings G. The adjusting-rings each have a series of notches on the outer face, with which can be made to engage teeth on locking-dogs P fixed either to the gear case, as shown, or to the axle casings. In order to enable the ball bearings to be oiled, oil cups are secured to the collars n of the gear casing. As the adjusting-collars are placed between the collars n and the axle casing, provision must be made for the passage of oil therethrough. For this purpose, each adjusting-ring is made with a series of holes, spaced to correspond with the spaces of the locking-notches, so that, when the adjusting ring is locked, one of the holes will register with those in the fixed parts.

Granted: 1903-06-11
Abstract: 13,705. Kip, F. E. June 17. Loom weft-replenishing mechanism; stop-motions; bobbins.-A feeler 12, which may be a rod with adjustable head 15, is mounted within a casing 10, so as to slide therein, and is controlled by a spring 13. A lever 22 is pivoted to the feeler, and has a short arm 22<a> and a longer arm which engages with a crank arm 25 on a shaft 23 having a crank arm 26 engaging with a slotted arm 27 pivoted to the wett-fork slide 6. When the shaft 23 is actuated by the lever 22, the arm 26 depresses the arm 27 into the path of the weft-fork hammer 7, and the loom is stopped in the usual way, to allow the weft to be replenished. During the normal running of the loom, there is sufficient weft on the bobbin 20 to prevent the short arm 22<a> from striking the shuttle S, but, on exhaustion of weft, the arm strikes the shuttle and effects the lifting of the lever 22, as shown in Fig. 4. The pivot 21 of the lever 22 may be adjustable. The apparatus may be used in connection with an automatic weft-replenishing mechanism, of a known kind. In a modified form of the apparatus, the lever, corresponding to the lever 22, Fig. 4, is normally held down, against the pressure of a spring, by a hooked sliding rod which performs a function similar to that of the short arm 22<a>. The bobbin may be formed with a recess at the part against which the feeler impinges, or the feeler may strike against a spring fitted within the shuttle.

Patent GB-190223660-A (GB)
Title: Maximum Current Registering Indicators.
Filed: 1902-10-29
Granted: 1903-09-03
Abstract: 23,660. Clark, I. C., Davies, A. J., and Russell, W. L., [Hartmann & Braun]. Oct. 29. Current meters.-A maximum-current indicator consists of a solenoid acting on an iron core e, which is carried by a spring f and carries a marker s in contact with a record disc or drum. This is turned somewhat each time the core e descends, by gearing with a ratchetwheel, acted on by a weighted pawl-lever h, which rests on the core e; when the current diminishes, the core raises the pawllever. A separate mark is thus made on each descent of the core. The core carries a damping-piston d, and a spring r limits its movement, so that a short-circuit would not cause the marker to leave the recording surface. In a modification, in addition to the parts shown, the record disc is geared to a clockwork, and is turned continuously by this when the core has been drawn into the solenoid so far as to move a catch and release the clockwork. The catch may be a magnetic lever, movable in opposition to gravity by the magnetic attraction of an iron piece secured adjustably on the core. A record is thus obtained of the time during which a large current passes. This construction is especially applicable for controlling the discharge of accumulators.

Granted: 1903-06-11
Abstract: 8039. Turner, J. R., and Stimpson, M. April 7. Damping and affixing labels, stamps, and the like.- Relates to apparatus for damping and affixing postage stamps &c., applicable also for gumming patterns of fabrics &c. on to cards or in books. A sheet of postage stamps &c. is fed over a guide 31, and a strip is severed by a pair of rotary cutters 26, 27 rotated by gearing and a crank-handle 30. The strip is wound on a drum driven by a band 33. When ready for use, the strip is passed under a guide g and between a feed-roller h and a grooved roller i pressed upwards and carried by a blade spring j. The roller i may be depressed by a pushpiece 25 when adjusting the strip to begin with. The roller h is rotated step by step by a ratchetwheel u and pawl v, actuated, from the hand-lever r, by a connecting-rod 2 in two parts connected by a spring 3 ; when the pawl strikes the stop 4, the spring 3 yields and allows the lever r to continue its motion. A stamp is severed by a fixed blade p and a guillotine blade l operated by a connecting- rod 5. The stamp is fed through the guide g<2> and seized by grippers 8 and drawn beneath pressing fingers 6 over a damping-roller 7 until it comes beneath a presser 18. The grippers are operated by the lever r through the slotted lever 12. As the grippers move to the right, the cross-piece 11 comes under the spring 8<a>, which keeps the top jaw closed until the pin rides up inclines 9, which positively cause the jaws to release the stamp. On the return motion, the pin rides over the spring 8<a>. The presser 18 is connected by a pin and slot to the hand-lever r. The spring plunger 23 holds the stamp in place, while the presser 18 descends on to the stamp. The letter, postcard, &c. is placed in the space 35. All the parts are actuated by one depression of the lever r. In a modified form, shown in Fig. 3, the stamps are held by spring flaps 40 on radial partitions arranged between two discs 38, one of which has ratchet teeth engaged by a spring pawl 45 carried on a lever 47 rocked by the connecting-rod 2. When used for cutting and sticking patterns of textiles in books &c., the feed-roller may be dispensed with and the grippers may draw forward the strip to the required extent over a gumming-roller, which is momentarily raised to gum a short length of the strip.
