Patent GB-191110039-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or connected with Hydraulic Transmission Apparatus.
Inventor: HELE-SHAW HENRY SELBY
IPC: B60K17/10
Filed: 1911-04-25
Granted: 1912-04-25
Abstract: 10,039. Shaw, H. S. Hole-, and Martineau, F. L. April 25. [Cognate Applications, 20,462/11 and 21,797/11.] Revolving-cylinder pumps; stroke, varying.- A revolving-cylinder pump of the kind described in Specifications 12,574/09 and 9402/10, is used in transmission gear for motor-vehicles. The stroke-controlling ring is moved, in the case of heavy vehicles, by a relay pump such as 46. The suction and delivery ports of this pump are connected by means of pipes 47 with the two sides of the ram 48. The stroke of the relay pump is controlled by the pedal 49, Figs. 2 and 7, through a system of levers and links. The controlling-rod 50 is coupled to the pedal 49 by means of the bell-crank lever 51, rod 52, link 53, and levers 54, 55. The lower end of the link 53 is connected to the end 57 of the controlling-rod 58 by means of the rod 71 and bellcrank lever 56. The pedal lever 55 has a tendency to rise under the influence of the spring 59. The locking-lever 63 is keyed to the spindle 64, to which is also secured the member 65. This member lies between the levers 66, 67, which are integral with the lever 55. If the lever be moved in an anti-clockwise direction, the nose 68 of the member 65 recedes from the lever 66, provided sufficient pressure be applied to the pedal 49 to prevent it from rising. The pedal is prevented from sinking by the conformation of the nose 69 of the member 65. If the lever 63 be moved anti-clockwise and locked in any position, the pedal 49 being held down meanwhile, then if the pressure on the pedal be slightly released the pedal rises and the arm 55 rotates clockwise. The lower end of the link will remain practically stationary and the rod 52 is placed in compression and cause the operation of the pump 46. Liquid is thus forced to the ram 48 to put into operation the main pump 2. The movement of the controlling-rod 58 causes, through the lever 56, rod 71, and link 53, the return of the pump 46 to its mid-position so that the ring of the pump 2 remains in a definite position. If the pedal 49 be depressed again, the same sequence of operations takes place, the controlling-rod of the relay pump 46 coming to rest when the stroke of the main pump is reduced to zero. To drive the vehicle backwards, the lever 63 is pulled clock-wise, and the pedal may be depressed to cause the reversal. The portion 73 of the edge of the lever 66 is struck from the centre of the spindle 64 in order that the pedal cannot pass that position at which the pump 2 has no stroke without the lever 63 being first operated. Leakage from the pump 46 is made up from the pipe 91 leading to the tank 19. Two pipes 92 lead from the pipe 91 to the blocks 93, in which are placed non-return valves.

Abstract: 27,224. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Nov. 26: Printing-apparatus combined with gauging- apparatus.-Relates to a machine for splitting or marking, or both splitting and marking. pieces of leather of varying thickness in accordance with the thickness at an adjustable or other predetermined point. A sole blank 200, or other piece of leather to be split and marked, passes between the rollers 65, 75 of a feelermechanism which serves to adjust an element of the splitting and marking means so as to control the position of a gauging-roller 9 of the splitting-mechanism and to set a stamping- wheel 89 in accordance with the thinner edge of the leather at that moment in engagement with the feeler mechanism. The roller 65 of the mechanism engages resiliently a fixed roller 75, and is adapted both to rise and fall and to tilt longitudinally to register the thinner edge of the leather. The movements of this roller 65 serve, through rack gearing 39, 37 and 29, 27, to rock a spindle 23 and toothed cams 25 thereon which serve as a gauge to control the upward movement of the frame carrying the roller 9 when raised by the passage of the leather beneath. By these means the thickness of material removed by the splitting - knife 1 is accurately controlled. The rocking of the spindle 23 also serves through spur gearing to set the stamping-wheel 89, against which the leather is stamped by a hammer 91 actuated by a pivoted arm 97 linked to a roller 93, this roller being raised by the passage of the leather between the rollers 93, 95. The continued operation of the arm 97 uncouples and allows the descent of the hammer 91. The frame carrying the feeler mechanism is adapted to be adjusted to and from the splitting and marking mechanism to ensure the engagement of the free end of the leather with the rollers 9, 5 at the moment that the predetermined portion of the leather is passing through the feeler mechanism. Either the knife or the marking mechanism may be dispensed with. Specification 17,808/09 is referred to.
