Title: An Improved Process of Producing Iron and Steel Castings.
Inventor: SZEKELY CHARLES SPITZKOPF
Filed: 1906-12-24
Granted: 1907-12-19
Abstract: 29,430. Szekely, C. S. Dec. 24. Casting.-Articles are cast with a non-chilled surface in metal moulds which have the exact dimensions of the finished articles required. The mould is thrown open as soon as the outer surface of the casting is sufficiently firm to retain its shape. This allows the expansion of the cast metal to take place, counterbalancing the subsequent shrinkage on cooling. A form of mould for carrying out this process in producing a pump casting C, Fig. 4, has a base 9 which supports side sections 2, 3, Fig. 2, controlled by screws 5, 8. The side sections 2 have top sections 4 hinged to them. The latter sections carry the gates and are clamped by screws and nuts pivoted to the sections 3. A four-part mould for casting brake shoes is described. The moulds are coated with a wash having a composition, such as 20 parts of powdered french chalk, 40 parts of kerosine of over 150‹ flash test, and 40 parts of refined paraffin oil, all by weight. The moulds form the subject-matter of Specification No. 29,430A, A.D. 1906.

Patent GB-190717981-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Means for Automatically Controlling the Speed of a Motor.
Inventor: SHEPPARD THOMAS WILLIAMS
Filed: 1907-08-07
Granted: 1908-08-07
Abstract: 17,981. Sheppard, T. W. Aug. 7. Variable-speed gearing.-Relates to governing- devices for motors and engines for use with the driving-mechanism of automobiles, launches, motorboats, &c. The engine shaft 1 carries a clutch piece 4 adapted to be engaged by a part 6 carried by the driven shaft 7, which may be geared by two or more sets of change-speed pinions 31, 33 or 32, 34 to a third shaft 29. The part 6 is pressed in one direction by a spring 11, and in the other by a spring 15 and a foot-lever 19, the operation of which is cushioned by a dash-pot 24. Shafts 41,42, carrying bevel-wheels 43, 44 of a differential gear 39, are geared to the shafts 1, 7 respectively by spur gearing 38, 37 and chain gearing 49, 46, 48, so arranged that the shafts 7, 42 rotate with equal velocities but the shaft 41 rotates more quickly than the shaft 1, the shafts 41, 42 turning in opposite directions. Planet-wheels gearing with the wheels 43, 44 are carried by the differential casing 40, to which is secured a pinion 51 gearing with a loose pinion 52 on a sleeve 53. The pinion 52 carries ratchet clutch teeth 65 pressed by a spring 67 into engagement with similar teeth 55 on the side of a ratchet-wheel 69, secured on the sleeve 53, which can only rotate in one direction. The sleeve 53 carries a governor 58, the balls 59 of which are connected by a spring 59<a> and carry arms 61 engaging a collar 63 on a rod 62, which bears in one direction on a lever 76 operating the engine throttle 79. The throttle may be adjusted by means of a rod 86 carrying springs 88 bearing on the lever 76. With the clutch open, the differential casing 40 rotates quickly and the governor closes down the throttle so that the driving-shaft 1 turns slowly. As the clutch is slowly closed against the action of the dash-pot 24, the differential rotates more slowly and gradually opens the throttle so that the driving- shaft 1 speeds up until the shafts 1, 7 are rotating together at their maximum speed, which is maintained constant by the action of the governor. In changing gear, the clutch is opened and the clutch collar 35 shifted into engagement with its appropriate pinion 31 or 32. The momentum of the vehicle &c. acting on the axle 29 will increase or decrease the velocity of the shaft 7. This will affect the governor and correspondingly alter the velocity of the shaft 1. When the velocities of the two shafts are approximately equal, the clutch is again closed and the governor automatically brings the shafts to their constant maximum. In the event of a very sudden decrease in velocity of the casing 40, the inclined teeth 65, 55 throw the governor entirely out of action, and the ratchet-wheel 69 prevents reversal of the governor. An auxiliary governor 93 geared to the shaft 1 is not in action at ordinary speeds, but prevents racing of the engine when there is a very sudden speed change.

Granted: 1908-04-09
Abstract: 27,658. Bangre, C. de. April 16, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Axle-trucks or undercarriages.-In mounting railway &c. vehicles, the load is transmitted through a convex piece, which may roll transversely on a concave piece of less curvature, carried in general by each axle. The centres of gravity of the body is below the centres of curvature of the curved pieces, so that, when the wheel of an axle is raised in traversing a curve, a readjustment of the body takes place so as to distribute the axle load approximately equally between its wheels. Each axle is also capable of independent movement about a vertical pivot. Figs, 4 and 5 show the invention applied to a vehicle carried by one pair of axles. The longitudinal beams 11 of the body are carried, through cross-beams, by arched pieces 9, each secured to a cylindrical piece 6 adapted to roll on the cylindrical surface of a piece 5 pivoted to a support 3 carried by the axle-boxes 2. Movement of the piece 6 other than rolling is prevented by projections 8. A pin 13 on the support 3 is guided by a slot in a cross-piece 12 secured to the body, or by a link. The positions of the centre of gravity of the body and of the axes of curvature of the pieces 5, 6 are respectively indicated at g, h, i. In the case of a pair axle bogie, Figs. 6 and 8, the longitudinal girders 25 of the body are supported by shackles 23 from a pair of cross-pieces 20, each pivoted to a secondary chassis 15 provided with cylindrical pieces 16 supported as before described. Figs. 10, 11, and 13 show a four-axle bogie, in which the longitudinal girders 31 of the body are supported by a cross-piece 30 having a convex surface resting on a concave piece 32 pivoted to the cross-beam 34 of a secondary chassis, the longitudinal beams 36 of which are suspended by shackles from cross-pieces 37. These cross-pieces are each pivoted to a frame, provided at one end 41 with a convex portion adapted to roll on a concave surface pivoted to the axle as before described; while the other end 45, Figs. 10 and 13, is pivoted directly to the cross-piece 46 supported by the axle. A bogie of three axles may be similarly constructed. The convex and concave surfaces may be conical or cylindrical. Oscillations may be checked by a spring. Specification No. 6715, A.D. 1903, is referred to.
