Title: Improvements in or relating to Driving Mechanism for Motor Vehicles.
Inventor: BUSSING HEINRICH
Filed: 1904-11-11
Granted: 1905-03-23
Abstract: 24,469. B³ssing, H. Nov. 23, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Motor road vehicles.-Consists of means whereby the tension of driving - wheel chains may be prevented from becoming excessive and an accumulative effect produced. Bars b connected to the axles c are kept in a state of tension by springs f. The bearing-springs g are mounted in guides k. On starting the engine, tension on the chain m draws forward the axle c against the action of springs f. Energy is thus accumulated which is expended during the return of the springs f. To prevent undue tension of the chains m during normal working, owing to the back pull of the spring f, a pin i is provided which stops backward motion of the axle by engaging the end of the guides h of the bar a. Adjusting nuts l, r are shown on the rods a, b. The bars b may be arranged in front with the bars a, and act by pressure instead of tension, or the bars a, b may be combined as at s, Fig. 2, which represents the position of the parts at the moment of starting. The stop is placed at t.

Abstract: 15,920. Quinn, J. E. July 13. String and thread cutters.-Relates to a tool for use in wrapping-up bundles, comprising within itself a cord knotting and cutting device which effects also the tightening of the cord around the bundle. The tool consists of a handle 1, Fig. 2, which is formed preferably of sheet metal bent to a suitable shape and to one end of which is attached a metal casing 2 having a cord-guide 3 and a pair of opposing orifices 4. Inside the casing are mounted two frames for supporting the knotter and the tension device and knife. The frame 5, which extends transversely across the handle. has an inclined part 6 provided with a bearing carrying the shaft 24 of the knotting-device 26, this shaft being operated through the pinion 15 and the gear-wheels 22, 23. The knotting-device is of the form usually employed on grain binders, and consists of a main jaw a, Fig. 11, and a pivoted bill b having an extension carrying an antifriction roller d engaging with a stationary cam e. During a rotation of the shaft 24, the jaws successively loop the cord and grip it until the cutting-device comes into operation. The cutting and cord-tension device, shown separately in Figs. 4 and 5, is mounted upon the shaft 12, Fig. 7. It consists of a disk having a recess 29 and a cord-engaging beak 30, a knife 31 and the part 7 forming the cutting-device. The tension and cutting members and the knotter before described are operated by the pinions 15, 16, which derive their motion from the rack 18 formed on the part 19, which is pivoted to the handle at 20. A leaf-spring also pivoted to the handle presses against the part 19. In operating the device, the cord is passed round the bundle and two lengths of cord are passed between the cord guides 3 of the instrument. The operator then presses the arm 19 upwards, whereupon the rack 18 is moved transversely across the casing, the knotting-device being actuated and the cord being clamped by the tension device, as shown in Fig. 5. As the transverse motion of the rack progresses, the cutter comes into action and the operation is completed.
