Title: Improvements in Variable Speed Gear for Motor Cycles and other Motor Vehicles.
Inventor: BAMFORD CYRIL JOSEPH
IPC: B62M25/00
Filed: 1912-05-06
Granted: 1913-05-01
Abstract: 10,754. Bamford, C. J. May 6. [Cognate Application, 23,421/12.] Variable-speed belt gearing comprises arrangements for motor - cycles and other vehicles in which the rear pulley drives the road wheel through reducing-gear and is mounted on the road wheel spindle eccentrically or otherwise for the purpose of belt adjustment. The enginepulley 17 is of the expanding type, and drives the rear pulley 16, which is carried by a cranked portion of the road-wheel spindle and drives the wheel through internal spur reducing-gearing 20, 21. The gearing is covered in by an oil-tight plate 23. The wheel spindle is made in two parts 2, 6, each of which is cranked, one crank-pin fitting within the other, corresponding serrations on the pins preventing relative rotation of the parts. The cranked spindle is rotated to tension the belt by parallel links 45 connected to arms 43 on a shaft 44, which is rotated through a pinion 54 and quadrant 53 by a lever 51. The expanding pulley is simultaneously operated through a chain 46 by an arm 49 on the shaft 44. The expanding pulley is formed with inter-penetrating radial teeth, to allow of a large range of gears, and is operated by cam or screw surfaces. The driven pulley may be mounted to move axially as the gear is altered so as to keep the centres of the grooves of the two pulleys always in line. The following modifications are described:-(1) The driven pulley is mounted on an eccentric on the road-wheel spindle, which is thus a straight-through one; (2) the driven pulley is mounted concentrically with the road wheel, which it drives through internal spur reducing - gear, the belt being tensioned by a jockey pulley operated in conjunction with the expanding pulley; (3) the driven pulley and road wheel may be movable together to tension the belt; (4) both pulleys may be of the expanding type, the road-wheel spindle being fixed, and reducing - gear being interposed between the driven pulley and the road wheel; (5) chain or other reducing-gearing may be employed instead of the spur gear; and (6) the driving-pulley may be provided with a loose ring at the bottom of the groove to give a free-engine, or a clutch may be fitted on the engine-shaft, counter-shaft, or in the road - wheel hub, a handle or kick starter being employed in conjunction therewith.

Abstract: 12,630. Tew, J. D. May 22. Machines for making.- Apparatus for manufacturing hollow cords such as are described in Specification 12,629/14 comprises a strand-tensioning device 16, 19, Fig. 1, a casing 22 in which the strands are twisted, coated, and impregnated with liquid or semi-liquid cement such as rubber solution, and a frame 73 for twisting and receiving the cord. The strands 14 pass from bobbins or spools 12 twice around a grooved roller 16 and once arcund a plain roller 19, whereby all the strands are given an equal tension, and thence downwards through dies 20, Fig. 3, removably secured in tapered holes in a disk 28, which is screwe i at 27 to the sleeve 26 of the casing 22. A substantially cylindrical membar 34 secured to the disk 28 is provided with grooves 37 which allow the strands to converge upon a conical former 24, about which the strands are twisted to form the hollow cord. The casing is closed by a die-holder 41 which has a conical surface 46 and supports a tubular die 25, into which the former 24 extends, by means of a nut 64, a removable washer allowing longitudinal adjustment of the die. The die can be moved downwards away from the former 24 by screwing the nut 64 against a flange 67 on the die. The rubber solution &c. is supplied to the channels 37, preferably under pressure, from a pipe 55 through passages 53, 54, the pipe 55 being connected to a T-piece 56 supporting the upper end of the casing. The cord is drawn through the die 25 by means of a pulley 80 driven, as the frame 73 rotates, from a stationary worm 70, and, passing twice around this pulley 80 and once around a pulley 81, is wound upon a bobbin 88. The bobbin 88 is removably supported on a fork 90 and engages a pivot 89 held by a thumb screw. The bobbin shaft 91 is driven through friction-clutch gearing 93, 95, 96, and the frame 73 through gearing 75, 76.
