Granted: 1911-08-31
Abstract: 10,925. Svensons Motorfabrik, J. V. Jan. 4, [Convention date]. Tappet-actuated pumps; stroke, varying.- In a reversing-device for liquid-fuel engines in which the fuel-pump is actuated by an inertia. governor, a manually-operated deflector is provided, by means of which, when speed is reduced, a large quantity of fuel is introduced in order to reverse the engine. The tappet 6 of the governor 1 normally hits or misses the abutment 7 of the pump rod 9. To reverse, the guide-piece 5 is raised by means of the handle 14, whereupon the tappet is thrown beyond the abutment 7 until the engine slows down. The piece 22 carried by the guide 5 moves the deflector 19 about the pivot 20 so that, when the engine is running slowly, the tappet 6 catches the notch 21 and is guided to strike the abutment 8, causing a large quantity of fuel to enter the cylinder and to fire before the end of the in-stroke. The guide-piece 5 has at the same time been tilted by the deflector 19 striking the piece 22, and on the next up-stroke of the tappet 6 it strikes the notch 27 and restores the deflector 19 to its normal position. On the down-stroke the projection 25 strikes the end 24 of the guide 5, restoring to the guide its vertical position, and the engine then runs slowly in a reverse direction until the guide 5 is lowered by the handle 14, when the whole apparatus has again assumed its normal position, as shown in Fig. 1.

Title: Improvements in Variable-speed Gearing.
Inventor: CROFTON WILFRED BRERETON
IPC: B62M25/00
Filed: 1911-10-14
Granted: 1912-10-14
Abstract: 22,714. Crofton, W. B., and Hunt, P. E. Oct. 14. Variable-speed belt gearing comprises a pair of expanding pulleys 11, 12, Fig. 2, upon a rotary spindle 3, which is supported by a pair of arms 1, 2 secured to a pivot-spindle 5. In the application to a motor-cycle, power passes from a pulley 13, Fig. 1, on the engine shaft by a belt 15 to the pulley 11, and from the pulley 12 by a belt 18 to a driven pulley 17. The pulleys 11, 12, Fig. 2, have their outer flanges 22, 23 fixed to the spindle 3 and their inner flanges 19, 20 secured to a sleeve 21, which is adapted to slide on the spindle 3. The arrangement is such that a pivotal movement of the arms 1, 2 is accompanied by a sliding of the sleeve 21 allowing the speed ratio to be varied while keeping both the belts 15, 18 in tension. In order to keep the pairs of gearing pulleys in proper alinement, pins 34, 35 on the spindle 5 are adapted to coact with cams 31, 32 on a fixed bearing sleeve 4 in such a way that pivotal movement of the arms 1, 2 is accompanied by the proper sideways movement. Relative rotation of the inner pulley flanges may be prevented by a pin 24<a> passing through the flange 19 and secured to the flange 22. To allow the engine to run idly, at the centre of the pulley 12 there is a loose sleeve 26, which may be in two parts separated by a spring 29. The speed-ratio may be varied by pressing upon either of two pedals 36, 37, Fig. 1, which are connected through a crank 40 and link 41 to the arm 1. A serrated member 42 engaged by the crank 38 of the pedal 36 serves to lock the gearing as desired.
