Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Indicating and Recording the Movements of a Vehicle.
Inventor: CARTER WILLIAM GRAYDON
Filed: 1910-04-25
Granted: 1911-03-02
Abstract: 10,074. Carter, W. G., and Lyle, P. April 25. [Cognate Application, 27,086/10.] Course-recording apparatus. -In apparatus for indicating on a map, and recording the movements of a vehicle, means are provided for eliminating the vertical components of movements due to hills. The shaft 4, Fig. 1, for actuating the indicating or other device is driven by a sliding friction roller 3 driven from a disk 2 on a shaft 1 connected to a road - wheel. The speed of rotation of the roller 3 is reduced to allow for hills by means of a cam 19 on a pendulum 20, which tilts a rocking lever 16 having a pin-andslot connexion 14, 15 with the frame 10 carrying the disk 3 so that the frame 10 is lifted and carries the roller 3 towards the centre of its driving-disk 2. The scale of the record can be adjusted by turning the handwheel 9 connected with a threaded shaft on which works a nut 7 carrying the roller 3 on a bracket. Such adjustment produces a corresponding movement of the pin 14 along the slot 15 towards or away from the pivot of the lever 16. Means for making the direction of movement of the indicating pointer change according to the movements of the steering mechanism of the vehicle are shown in Fig. 2. Shafts 30, 31, the rotation of which produces movements of the indicating pointer in directions at right-angles to each other, are driven by sliding rollers 28, 29 actuated by disks 26, 27 driven from the shaft 4, Fig. 1, by gearing. The positions of the rollers 28, 29 upon their driving-disks are adjusted to correspond with the movement of the. steering- mechanism by means of cranks 34 upon a rotatable shaft 36 geared to a shaft 40, which is rotated by means of a sliding roller 39 driven by a shaft 37 connected with a road-wheel and moved away from and towards the centre of the disk 38 by reason of being carried by a nut 41 working on the threaded shaft 42 turning in accordance with the movements of the steering-mechanism. The cranks 34 are connected with the sliding blocks 50, 51 carrying the rollers 28, 29 by means of pinions 44, 45 rolling on internally toothed rings 46, 47 of twice the diameter and having pins 48, 49 engaging in recesses of the blocks. Means for driving the shafts 1, 37 from a road-wheel and shaft 42 from the steering - mechanism are shown in Fig. 7. A bevel-wheel 68 fast with the off steering-wheel meshes with a pinion 69 above the steering-head. Cast with the pinion 69 is a pinion 70 meshing with a pinion on a universally-jointed shaft 72 geared to shafts 1, 37. The shaft 42 is connected by gearing to a pinion 77 meshing with a quadrant 76 fast with the steering-arm 75.

Granted: 1911-06-26
Abstract: 15,314. Mealor, S. June 25. Sliding-jaw wrenches. -Relates to wrenches of the type in which the movable jaw has a rapid and a fine adjustment relatively to the fixed jaw, the shank of the movable jaw passing into a hollow handle and being threaded or otherwise arranged so as to engage with one or more part-nuts provided in or on the handle to prevent movement of the movable jaw when in use. The part - nuts 5 are riveted to the ends of flat springs 6, which are secured to the hollow rotatable handle 1 and normally maintain the part-nuts out of engagement with the threads on the stem 2 of the movable jaw 3, as shown in Fig. 1. After the movable jaw has been roughly adjusted by sliding the handle, the part-nuts are forced into engagement with the threaded shank by sliding up the slip-ring 11, which is formed internally with recesses to receive the springs 6. In the operation of the spanner, the pressure tending to disengage the part-nuts locks the slip-ring securely in position, but positive locking may be effected, as by the provision of rack surfaces on the slip-ring and on the part-nuts and their springs.

IPC: B60G17/044
Filed: 1912-03-22
Granted: 1913-03-25
Abstract: 7101. Werner, W. A. P. March 22. [Cognate Application, 8729/12.] Composite and pneumatic springs; connexions and attachments applicable generally for tensile and compressive springs. - Relates to shockabsorbers for motor - vehicles of the type described in Specification 20,389/08, and consists in a combination of two pump-cylinders, one of which pumps air into the other which in turn delivers air into a reservoir or to the atmosphere. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the cylinders a, d are arranged side by side on the vehicle frame and communicate at the top through a non - return valve c. A piston - rod b<1> in the cylinder a is connected by a lever f and a resilient link g with the vehicle axle, so that, when this receives a shock, air is driven from the cylinder a through the valve c into the cylinder d by the piston b, which is similar to the piston of a cycle pump. The main cylinder d is provided with an inlet port d<2> communicating with the atmosphere, and with exhaust ports d<1> communicating through a non-return valve with a reservoir from which the horn or other signal may be operated. These ports are so placed that they are covered by the main piston in its normal position and are uncovered only when the pressure in the cylinder d exceeds a certain value. An additional exhaust valve may also be provided, communicating with a separate air reservoir. The piston-rod in the main cylinder is made resilient by forming it of a cylinder h<2> in which works a piston governed by a helical spring, the rod h of this piston being joined to the main piston. The link g connecting the piston b with the axle is also made resilient so that the piston b is inoperative except for larger shocks; and this piston is constantly returned to the retracted position by a helical spring c<1>. In a modification, the piston b discharges air into the main cylinder on the downward stroke; and, in a further modification, the two pistons are arranged in tandem. In the form shown in Fig. 4, which is adapted to be interposed between the ends of the laminar plate springs of a vehicle, the auxiliary cylinder i telescopes into the main cylinder and acts as the main piston. The piston-rod l<1> of the auxiliary cylinder is bolted at its lower end to the outer cylinder. Non-return valves m, m<1>, m<2> are provided in the cylinder i and piston l, so that the relative movements of the two cylinders as the vehicle passes over a rough road serve to draw air in from the atmosphere through the valve m and transfer it in succession through the valves m<1>, m<2>, finally discharging it through holes n, which are arranged to operate in the same manner as the holes d<1> shown in Fig. 1. The piston-rod l<1> in a modification is passed through a stuffing-box in the lower end of the main cylinder and is connected by a lever and suitable links to the part of the vehicle to which the cylinder i is connected.

The focusing - screen P, shown in horizontal section in Fig. 5, is surrounded by an external. hood having a tinted window, whereby the photographer can observe the person or object to be photographed. A vertical mirror M is carried at the top and bottom by pivoted links O, and is operated by means of an arm J fixed to a shaft C, which is rotated against the action of a spring by a cord and pulley to bring the mirror into the focusing-position, the spring returning the mirror to the inoperative position when a crank-arm fixed to the shaft C is released from a catch. During the latter movement, the mirror moves rearwardly and then laterally, so as to clear the lens tube y. When closed, the mirror rests against a frame R and prevents the passage of light through the focusing-screen P, the reflecting-surface being outside. The speed of rotation of the spring- turned shaft C is regulated by a dash-pot, or by an arm moving over a spring-pressed velvet pad, or by both, and its rotation operates a lever adapted to release the shutter, which may be of the kind described in Specifications 19,817/05 and 2485/07.
