It is in a\\nlarge measure the result of new adaptations of previous devices intended for\\nlocomotion under diflfei ent circumstances, the patents for which have fallen under\\ndifferent heads in the official classification and are thus found in no one place\\nin the great aggregation of patents granted in the history of the Government.\\nThe patents digested in this volume, therefore, have been collected from\\nvarious classes as a result of much careful examination and searching, by which\\nalone those engaged in the art can secure all that bears directh- upou it. It is\\nbelieved that this work is complete within the lines laid down.\\nThe compiler has often been met with the question of including or ex-\\ncluding, various kinds of patents in analogous lines, but feeling that, in stepping\\noutside of what appeared to be the natural boundaries, there would be difficulty\\nin -finding any place to stop, he has excluded most devices when ob\\\\-iouslv intended\\nfor tracks exclusivelv and such devices as those designed onh- for storing- energ\\nat intervals for use in hill climbing as an adjunct to propulsion by hand or foot.\\nWhile it is evident that the patents given here ma}- have devices analogous to those\\napplied to other and very different industries, such will appear in the references\\ncited against them, a complete list of which is given in the index by number,\\nname and date. The value of this index can hardly be overestimated because it\\nactually gives in a nutshell the standing of any class of device co\\\\ ered by a\\npatent, as well as all interferences, parties to them and the decisions.\\nAs the vehicles commonly known as Traction-Engines, and which have long\\nbeen in use, have many devices especiall)- applicable to steam propulsion on high-\\nways, it has been deemed best to include the whole official class. Others, not\\nofficially classed with them, will be found under the regular arbitrary heads in the\\nother portion of the book.\\nThe official lists of Traction-Wheels, Portable-Engines, Electric-Locomotives,\\nand Electric-Railway Battery-Systems have also been given for the benefit of those\\nwho may wish to examine into those classes.\\nThe compiler wishes to acknowledge the kind assistance and encouragement\\nof the Honorable Commissioner of Patents, Charles H. Duell, of his assistants and\\nthe chiefs of the various divisions of the Patent Office. In a task of this nature,\\ninvolving extensive researches in different divisions of the office, the assistance thus\\nrendered has been of the greatest alue in securing promptness and accuracy.", "height": "3431", "width": "2413", "jp2-path": "digestofunitedst00alle_0009.jp2"}, "10": {"fulltext": "", "height": "3424", "width": "2436", "jp2-path": "digestofunitedst00alle_0010.jp2"}, "11": {"fulltext": "CONTENTS.\\nDRA WIXGS.\\nSpring-Propelled Carriages\\nSteam-Propelled Carriages\\nGas-Propelled Carriages\\nAir-Propelled Carriages\\nElectrically-Propelled Carriages\\nGearing\\nTraction-Engines\\nMiscellaneous\\nDESCRIPTION AND CLAIMS.\\nSpring-Propelled Carriages\\nSteam-Propelled Carriages\\nGas-Propelled Carriages\\nAir-Propelled Carriages\\nElectrically-Propelled Carriages\\nGearing\\nTraction-Engines\\nMiscellaneous\\nIndex of References\\nLists of Other Classes\\nPage.\\n9\\n33\\n50\\n107\\n117\\n153\\n226\\n445\\n473\\n481\\n487\\n517\\n520\\n538\\n582\\n669\\n679\\n712", "height": "3431", "width": "2413", "jp2-path": "digestofunitedst00alle_0011.jp2"}, "12": {"fulltext": "CHRONOLOGICAL LIST.\\n(The Number of the Patents included in\\ni\\nthis Volume and the Year of tht\\nir Issue.)\\ni\\n1817\u00e2\u0080\u0094\\n1867-\\n1872\u00e2\u0080\u0094\\n182,139\\n227,566\\n261,005\\nB.

JOHN K. FISHER, New York,\\nN. Y. Steam Carriages for Common\\nRoads. Patented Aug. 6, 1861.\\nThe nature of my invention consists in a\\nnew combination of parts, (previously use^,)\\nthe effect of which is to enable a locomotive\\nor self-propelling carriage to run steadily with\\nsprings sufficiently flexible for common roads,\\nand to be steered securely.\\nTlie utility of these parts and arrangements\\nconsists in the following effects:\\nFirst. The combination of the radius, and\\nparallel rods with the intermediate shaft and\\ndriving-axle, with their cranks or equivalents,\\ntransmits the power to the driving-wheels\\nwitho.ut bending the springs and without\\nstraining the rods or crank-pins.\\nSecond. The luch-rod and lurch-spring al-\\nlow a limited end-play to the axle, yet prevent\\nconcussion and absorb the momentum of the\\nsuspended mass when it is moving laterally\\nin consequence of inequalities in the road^\\nI admiithatrthelocomotivesof Crainptonand\\nSinclair, which have intermediate shafts, run\\n\\\\yithout suffering,any flexure of theirsprings\\nby the oblique action of theirconneeting-rods;\\nbut as their axle-boxes are held in pedestal^\\nIn ihe usual way they will not allow the end-\\npja,y and lurching incident to carriages wilh\\nvery flexible springs riiinning on uneven roads,\\nunless their joints be too loose for durability,\\nand the friction of axle-boxes in pedestals,\\nwhen their vertical movement is great and\\nthe roads are dusty, w^ould be much more\\nthan the friction in the joints of the radius\\nrods.\\nThird. The connection of the front axle by\\nprojectingsprings allows the center of gravity\\nto be low. (thjis contributing to steadiness,)\\n481\\nwhile the wheels are high, and it increases\\nthe distance between, the axles, thus giving\\nto the front wheels a leverage sufficient to\\nslip the driverswhen turning. Former steam-\\ncarriages clutched their wheels to the axle\\nand unclutched one wheel when turning, and\\nslipped the front wheels laterally if they\\nkept both drivers clutched; but I find by suf-\\nficient trial that with my arrangement I can\\nturn securely with drivei^s fast upon the axle,\\nand thus can avoid the expense and trouble\\nof clutches.\\nFourth. The screw holds the steering-axle\\nI|i position, whereas the rack and pinion.and\\ndther devices were sometimes jerkedoat of\\nthe steersman s hands.\\n1. I do not claim separately the radius rojl\\nA, parallel rod 15, intermediate shaft C, and\\ndtiving-axle D, with their cranks E E or\\ncrank-pins in the wheels; but I claim the\\ncombination of the intermediate shaft Cand\\ndriving-axle D, with their cranks E E and\\ncrank-pins in the wheels, and the radius-rod\\nA and parallel rod B, for the purpose of con-\\nnecting the engines to the driving-wheels of\\na locomotive or steam-carriage.\\n2.

JEROME B. McKINLEY, Spen-\\ncer County, Ky. Steam Land Carriage.\\nPatented Feb. 14, 1871.\\nThe first part of my invention consists of\\na carriage mounted on three wheels, some-\\nwhat similar to that of the common steam fire-\\nengine, except that the body may be made\\nin any suitable form, having long slot open-\\nings in each side, in order to receive the\\nbearing-boxes of the hind ax!e, with gum\\nsprings over them their boxes are all neatly\\nfitted in the lower end of these openings^ so\\nas to .slide up and dov;n, as the spring yields,\\nin passing over rough roads; the back end\\nof this body is provided with a convenient\\nseat for the operator, the lower part of which\\nis made to answer as a water-tank, with the\\nforce-pump that supplies the boiler with\\nwater immediately under it. This pump is\\noperated by an eccentric on the hub of the\\nmain wheel by means of a rock-shaft, and\\narms connecting with the pump. And im-\\nmediately in front of the driver s seat within\\nthe carriage is the arrangement for steering\\nthe machine, consisting of a small shaft\\nworking down through a pipe-shaped stand\\nsecured to the floor of the car, the upper end\\nof this shaft being provided with a lever, in\\norder to operate it, while the lever end has a\\ndouble crank connected with the revolving\\nplatform of the front wheel, by means of\\niron rodsj by which the machine is guided;\\nbut in order to regulate the speed of the ma-\\nchine it is provided with brakes similar to\\nthose now in use, with a lever extending up\\nthrough the bottom of the car so as to be\\noperated by the foot of the driver.\\nThe second part of my invention consists\\nin the general arrangement of the front\\nwheel. This front wheel is made somewhat\\nsimilar to that of a common wheelbarrow,\\nexcept that the shaft projects beyqnd the\\nbearings, and is provided with cranks on each\\nend set at right angles, the bearing boxes of\\nthis shaft being neatly fitted into slot open-\\nings in the lower end of long horns secured\\nto the under sid3 of the revolvin:^ platform,\\nso as to slide up and down in the openrags\\nas the gum spring over them yields to the\\nshock in passing over rough roads, there be-\\ning openings in the above platform for the\\nconnecting rods of the engijies to pass\\nthrough.\\nThe third part of my invention relates more\\nespecially to the peculiar arrangement of the\\ntngines on the revolving platform of the front\\nwheel, they being what is commonly called\\ndouble engines, constructed and arranged\\nmuch similar to those now in common use,\\nexcept that they are inverted so that the pis-\\nton rod works put below, the pitmen of\\nwhich connect with the cranks of the wheel-\\nshaft below, the bearing-boxes of the shaft\\nand cylinders being permanently connected\\nby means of an iron bar passing up through\\ntiie spring connecting with the head of the\\ncylinders, which cylinders are made to slide\\nin fixed stands on top of the platform by\\nmeans of grooves cut in the head-flanges, so\\nits to enable them to yield to the working of\\ntlic springs below; and as these springs do\\nnot always work together, consequently the\\nstL-am-pipe connection between them must be\\niiinde of gum. so as to accommodate itself to\\nthe irregularity. The steam-pipe connecting\\nthe engine with the boiler can be made of\\nany suitable material, but with a packing-\\nbo at each end, the end over the cylinder\\nforming a swivel-joint in order to permit the\\nwheel to turn entirely round so as to back the\\nmachine, when desirable to so arrange it for\\nthat purpose.\\nJ. The sliding steam-cylinders A A, and\\nstands B B in which they work; also the\\nconnections C C between the lower end of\\nthe cylinders and journal boxes, in combina-\\ntions with the cross-heads D D, the eccen-\\ntrics K, cranks E, gum springs F. wheel G,\\nand platform L; hIso the pipes H, I, and M,\\nthe boiler N, and chimney O; also the force-\\npump y with its pipe Z Z, the shaft U. and\\neccentrics T, by which the pump is operated,\\nwhen arranged, constructed, and operated,\\nsubstantially as and for the purpose herein-\\nlefore set forth.\\n2.

Heat\\ndrives it Irom the solution. It has no action\\nupon either cast or wrougL. iron in pres-\\nence of these metals it is indecomposible\\nbelmv the red heat. It may, therefore, be\\nsuperheated without danger, and the advan-\\ntages of that operation availed of without\\nhaving to fear excessive temperatures as with,\\nsteam. This result is the more easily reached\\nfhat, even at the ordinary temperature, its\\npressures are sufficient for industrial pur-\\nposes.\\nThe advantages of the present arrange-\\nment are as follows First, the apparatus\\nthus combined may be attached to any ve-\\nhicle by simply removing the fore wheels of\\nthe latter aud fastening them to the after\\n\u00e2\u0096\u00a0ffheels of the apparatus, aud thus at once-\\nammonia is substituted for horse-flesh. Sec-\\nond, when the driving action is exercised\\nsimultaneously upon two wheels. It is\\nnecessary when turning that one should be\\nmade free upon its axle. This necessitates\\nrather complicated maneuvrcs, shocks which\\nare very inconvenient in practice, besides the\\nmechanical difficulty of obtaining a certain\\nresult. With a single driving wheel, we\\nenter the category of tricycles, a well-knowD\\nspecies of vehicles, the handling of which is\\nperfectly easj even for a very feeble hand.\\nThird, the faculty of detaching at any time\\nthe driving apparatus from the vehicle fa-\\ncilitates any necessary repairs without inter-\\nrupting the service of the vehicle itself, as\\nanother engine may always be substituted\\nfor the one undergoing repairs.

Serial No. 521J93.\\n(No model.)\\nMy iDvention relates to improvements^ la\\nmeans of propulsion for vehicles, and more\\nparticularly for bicycles; Uut ifc is applicable\\nto other road-macblnes, to vessels, and to sta-\\ntionary engines.\\nIt consists in the application of ether or\\nother volatile substance as a motive force in\\nth\u00c2\u00ab manner hereinafter described.\\nIt farther consists in the combination, with\\na vehicle, of an engine for propelling it, said\\nengine being adapted to be driven by ether\\nor other volatile substance.\\nIt farther consists in mechanism for auto-\\nmatically regulating tho supply of fuel for\\nheating the boiler.\\nIt farther consists in certain details of con-\\nstruction, which will be hereinafter more fully\\ndescribed.\\nThe operation of my improved vehicle is as\\nfollows: The coil-pipe forming the boiler is\\nQlled with ether through a snpply-opening in\\nthe top thereof. The fuel-tank is filled with\\nnaphtha, gasoline, or other combustible and\\nvolatile material. The snpply-valve in the\\nbottom of the fuel-tank is opened and the jet\\nbeneath the boiler is ignited. As soon as the\\nether becomes heated, as it does at a very low\\ntemperatuiejit becomes con verted into vapor,\\npasses from the steam-chest to the engine,\\nsetting in operation the piston, and rotating\\nthe wheels of the vehicle. At the same time\\nit sets in operation theair-pumpaod theforee-\\npump. The ether-vapor passes from the\\nsteam-chest through the exhaust to the coo-\\ndenser-coil at the front of the machine and\\nis-there condensed by a spray of some vola-\\ntile substance thrown upon it by the atom-\\nizer, thence passes down through the hoUow\\nframe on the lower right side to a point at or\\nnear -the bottom of the boiler, whenoe it is\\ntaken up into the force-pump and forced-\\nagain into the boiler. The air-pump contin-\\nually taking upairforces itin ablast ihrongh\\nthe orifice beneath the end of the spra ei,\\nand thus forces a spray of some volatile sub-\\nstance from the fuel-tank through the pipe\\nupon the condenser-coils. This condenses\\nthe ether-vapor much more rapidly than it\\notherwise would. The hood or case surround-\\ning the boiler, steam ohest, and engioes tends\\nto retain the heat and thus keep the engine\\nand boiler hot. The temperature can be\\nregulated antomatically by the gage before\\ndescribed, the plunger being connected with\\nthe valve which regulates the supply of fuel\\nto the burner. The pressure on said plunger\\noperates to close said valve, while the spring\\nbeneath the piston tends to force the plunger\\nupward and open the valve. The operation\\nof the engine and cut-off is substantially the\\nsame as in ordinary engines.\\n1. A motor comprising a boiler, engine, tank\\nadapted tocontain a combustible volatile fluid\\nanid condenser, a pump mechanism operated\\nby said engine and adapted to re-convey the\\nmotive fluid after condensation ioto the boiler,\\nand an air nnmp operated by said engine and\\nadapted to force a spray of the volatile fluid\\nupon the condenser, substantially as and for\\nthe purposes set forth.\\n2.

Patented in\\nFrance Dec. 22, 1888, No. 194,953, and\\nFeb. 22, 1894, No. 236,489; in Belgium\\nMar. 18, 1889, No, 85,423; and in Eng-\\nland Mar. 26, 1889, No. 5,199.\\nThis invention relates to v.irious improve-\\nments in the construction of velocipedes; and\\nit consists in particular in the arrangement\\nof the driving-wheel, which c;;rries its motor\\ntherein, and in other details of construction\\nhereinafter described. The motor,, which is\\ncombined with one of the wheels, by prefer-\\nence the rear wheel, ot the cycle to be driven,\\nis constructed with a series ot cylinders, which\\nare by preference of an odd number and are\\narranged radially and secured at their inner\\nends round a central hollow box, which forms\\nthe nave of the wheel, and at their outer ends\\nto the felly ot the wheel. The pistons of the\\ncylinders are connected by rods to a bent\\nspindle or crank-.shaft, which is always keyed\\nto the frame of the vehicle when the motor\\nis in operation. Thus under ordinary condi-\\ntions the shaft is fixed and the cylindera, as\\nwell as their pistons, turn on the latter and\\nf ngage the felly or rim of the wheel. The\\ncrank of the bent shaft, as well as the piston-\\niTids, are housed in the central box, which\\nforms the nave of thewheel. Among the ad-\\nvantages presented by this arrangement may\\nbe mentioned the automatic cooling of the\\ncylinders by reason of their rapid motion\\nthrough the air, and also reducing or dimin-\\nishing the motor by dispensing with the trans-\\nmissioi-gear between the wheel and the said\\nmotor, the two latter forming a single rigid\\npart, and since all the operating mechanism\\n(the crank, rods, and pistons) are placed in\\nthe closed portion formed by the nave of the\\nwheel and the cylinders the said mechanism\\nis very efficiently protected from the dust and\\nthe parts which form it are automatically lu-\\nbricated. An explosion-engine is preferably\\nemploved, operated by petroleum or other ex-\\nplosive fluid. Each of the cylinders conati-\\nlutiDg the said motor is single-acting and\\nworking on the four-cycle principle, that is\\nto say, in stages ot suction, compression, ex-\\nplosion, and exhaustion. The complete cycle\\not work of each cylinder takes olace dnrina-\\ntwo turns of the wheel, and in order that the\\nphases may follow in regular succession in the\\ndifferent cylinders it is preferred that their\\nnumber be uneven. Take, for example, five\\ncylinders and snppose them to be numbered\\n1*2 :i 4 5. The explosions will followin regular\\nsuccession in every second cylinder in the\\norder 13 5 2 4 and constitute the useful pliases\\nwhen working on the four-cycle principle and\\nare the sole means for producing the motive\\npower. In like manner the other phases can\\nalso succeed each other, respectively, in the\\nsame oi, der. To effect this, the supply and\\nexhaust valves of each cylinder are operated^\\nrespectively, by a double-faced or two-way\\ncam, which only opens the corresponding\\nvalve for supply or exhaust Of each cylinder\\nonce for every two revolutions of the motor.\\nAll3^othe^ number of cylinders than five\\nmay be employed. For instance, three may\\nbe used, but in this case difSculties would oc-\\ncur for overcoming the dead-point at starting.\\nIn the case where seven cylinders are em-\\nploj cd the dead-point would be more readily\\npassed than with five cylinders; but aslight-\\nness is desii able in this class of vehicle I pre.\\nfer to adopt five cylinders.\\nThe combustion of the explosive mixture\\nin the cylinders can be obtained in any suit-\\nable manner, for instance, by meansof abat-\\ntery combined with an induction-coil or by\\naccumulators, or by a dynamo operated by\\nthe motor-wheel itself, or by a flame, .or by\\nan incandescent tube.\\nMy invention also relaties to the grouping\\ntogether of the_parts adjoining the, motor,\\nfor instance, the carbureter, the engaging,\\nand disconnecting mechanism for the motor,\\nthe battery, the pedals, the endless chain,\\nthe brakes, c., in that part oooupied in\\nordinary cycles by the chain and the two\\ntoothed wheels, and in the arrangement of\\nthe hydrocarbon-reservoir in the form of a\\nmud-guard for one of the wheels, so as to\\noccupy the smallest space possible and fa-\\ncilitate the operation of the various parts.\\nThe method of connecting the pedal-axle\\nto the nave of the motor-wheel also forms part\\nof this invention. The connection adopted\\npermits the motor-wheel when desirable to\\nbe driven by the pedals and endless chain, as\\nhas been customary hitherto, but the con-\\nnections are so arranged that the pedal-axle\\nis not driven by the motor-wheel when the\\nmotor itself is in use.\\n1.

No. 23,771.\\nThis invention has reference more particu-\\nlarly to light vehicles of the type of bicycles\\nand tricycles provided with explosive-engines\\ncarried thereby for propelling the same, but\\neach of the improvements con.stituiing the\\ninvention is included for all the uses to which\\nit may be adapted.\\nIt consists in the hereinafter-specitied con-\\nstructions, com binntions, and arrangement of\\nparts in the vehicle and in the explDsive-en-\\ngine for use thereim or for other piirposea.\\nThe wheels A A are of the ordinary con-\\nstruction, except that they are each provided\\nwith a pneumatic tire considerably larger\\nthan the ordinary bicycle-tire. J he reason\\nfor this is found in the importance of elimi-\\nnating the effects of the common irregulari-\\nties of the ordinary road-bed to such an ex-\\ntent that the engine may propel the vehicle\\nwithoutdangerof slipping orstalling. I have\\ndiscovered that this can be satisfactorily ef-\\nfected by a pneumatic tire of an extra large\\ndiameter (say four inches diameter for a sin-\\ngle rider, as shown) on the propelling-wheel\\nA, but preferably pneumatic tires of extra\\nlarge diameter are used also on the other\\nwheel, (or wheels, in thecaseof other vehicles\\nthan bicycles.) Tho larger the diameter of\\nthe tire the less the pressure per square inch\\nof bearing- suiface on the roadway, and by\\nthe adoption of about the ratio indicMed the\\npressure is small enough to avoid crushing\\nhardened mud or sinking in sand or the like,\\nwhich I have found very detrimental to the\\nself -propulsion of vehicles over ordinary\\nroads.\\nI3e\u00c2\u00abides the advantages above pointed out,\\nthe use of the enlarged flexible and com-\\npressible tire is found necessary to (ibtain the\\nrequired traction. Ordinarily the traction\\nnecessary in aself-propelliog vehicle isgalned\\nby giving the vehicle .sufiicieut load, as in a\\nlocomotive upon a tJ-ack. In the present in-\\nstance load or weight, is reduced to the mini-\\nminn, and the needed traction is, in the ab-\\nsence of sufticient load nr weight, only obtain-\\nable by means the reverse of such as are or-\\ndinarily employed viz.. by increasing the\\nelasticity of the lire of the propelling-wheel,\\nso as to eiiHblf a sufficieiitly largii area of Its\\nsurface to rest flat upon arid cover the ground\\nover which the vehicle tritvels. Besides these\\nfunctions the enlarged flexible or compressi-\\nble tire also serves the purpose of an efficient\\nspring, which is required in view of the fact\\nthat the vehicle with which it is used is one\\ncarrying motor, and the iiecessiiy of pre-\\nventing jar or shock to the more delicate parts\\nthereof. The greaier elasliciiy, cusliioning\\nquality, or uoinpiessibility of the tirn is ob-\\ntained not only by giving it greater diameter\\nor area than is ordinarily found in pneiinmtic\\ntires, but also by subjecting it to less than the\\nusual internal pressure per square inch.\\n1.

The engine employed is\\nof tliat class in which a charge of an explo-\\nsive mixture of air and gasolene or the like\\nis admitted behind the piston and is, after\\ncompression, exploded so as to develop tho\\nnecessary power.\\nHeretofore it has been proposed to apply\\nexplosive -fluid engines of the compression\\ntype to wheeled vehicles, but all such propo-\\nsals have, so far as I am aware, included the\\nuse of special compression -cylinders /ind\\nother special instrumentalities to efl ect the\\ncompression of the explosive mixture, and\\nthe engines proposed to be applied have been\\nof such weight as to render their use imprac-\\nticable at least for bicycles, tricycles, and\\nsimilar light vehicles to run over ordinary\\nroads.

LUDWIG RUB, Augsburg,\\nGermany. Motor-Driven Velocipede.\\nFiled May 8, 1896. Patented Feb. 2, 1897.\\n\u00e2\u0096\u00a0Serial No. 590.784. fNo model.)\\nThis invention relates to velocipedes or\\ncycles driven by motors, and is intended to\\novercome the disadvantages hitherto met with\\nin the application of motors to such vehicles,\\nand principally to reduce the weight and ren-\\nder the same more easy to manage.\\nThe improvements are broadly as follows;\\nFirst. In consequence of the peculiar con-\\nstruction of the whole and of the details the\\nbenzin-reservoir is made to replace the upper\\nhorizontal tnbe and the motor replaces the\\nlower longitadinaliy-running frame-tube, as\\nmet with in a bicycle, or in a tandem bicycle.\\nTherefore these two organs also form part of\\nthe framework of the machine, and thusavoid\\na complicated special framework as required\\nin other motor-cycles for holding the benzin-\\nreservoir, and of a motor. It is also very im-\\nportant that the 6rank-axle of the motor\\nshould be in the same place as the pedal-\\ncrank axle in the nsaal bicycles.\\nSecond In place of th e tu be which supports\\nthe saddle and is nsed in other cycles, two\\nrails are arranged which carry the back end\\nof the benzin-reservoir with the saddle and\\nbetween which are fixed a magnetic inductoi\\nor other aoxirce of electrical force and a lubn-\\ncator.\\nThird. The substantially horizontal posi-\\ntion of the. benzin-reservoir and its construc-\\ntion afford good and nnif orm ^evaporation of\\nthe benzin, while in upright receivers the ben-\\nzin-surface is too small, and after a little use\\nit is too far back from the suction-opening.\\nIij consequence benzin-gas beingheavier than\\nthe air no gas, but only air is sucked in, and\\nno explosive mixture is carried to the cylin-\\nders.\\nFourth. The motor possesses two pistons,\\nlyingone behind theother. The united cylin-\\nders, lying one behind the other, are formed\\nat their upper and lower parts so that the\\nwhole replaces the oblique lower frame-tube\\noftheusnalcycle-framo. By surrounding the\\nwhole length of the cylinders with a row of\\ncross-lying ribs the motor is cooled during\\nmovement by means of the air, and a special\\nwater-cooling apparatus isrendered unneces-\\nsary. I\\nFifth. The transmission of force from the i\\nmotor to the back wheel is effected by toothed\\nwheels in. proportion about one to two, and a\\ntube-shaft, which is put over one of two frame-\\ntubes which unite the cranfc-bearinjra with the\\naxle-bearing of the back wheel. The hub of\\nthe back wheel is formed of a ring of about\\ntwenty millimeters thickfless to replace or\\nact as a fly-wheel. By this arrangement no\\nchain is necessary, giving the machine a more\\npleasing exterior and an easier movement.\\nThe motor can work as fly, and thus avoid the\\nshocks which damage the pneumatic tire of\\nthe back wheel, and are very disagreeable for\\nthe rider in machines where the connecting-\\nrod is connected in consequence of the con-\\nstruction and the position of the motor, di-\\nrectly with the back wheel.\\nSixth. The bearing o\u00c2\u00a3 the connecting-rod\\non the crank is a double-cone ball-bearing\\nwith two rows, which supports the great load\\non this place and allows of renewal after long\\nuse.\\nSeventh. The lighting of the gas mixture\\nin the motor is performed electrically and\\ncan only be effected in the cylindere, avoid-\\niog danger of explosion elsewhere and of fire.\\nBy this and incconnection with the contacts\\narranged on. the brake-lever and operated by\\nmeans of the latter it is possible for the cy-\\nclist to ride off at once without special prep-\\narations, as are necessary in other lighting\\nmethods, and tostop also instantaneously.\\nly a motor-driven cycle, ;i iVamc having\\nits upper member formed of a benzin-reser-\\nvoir and having its lower front member\\nconipo.scd of a landcni motor A, said reser-\\nvoir and tandem motor being connected at\\ntheir front cncls to the stccriug-post and at\\ntheir rear cuds respectively to. the Siiddlc--\\npillar bracket and to the pcdi\u00c2\u00bbl-erank-shaft\\nbracket of said frame.\\n\u00e2\u0096\u00a0_*.

(No\\nmodel.)\\nThis invention relates to improvements in\\ng;is-motors or engines of the kind where the\\nlotive force is created bygasor a mixtnreof\\nthe same with atmospheric air. It relates\\nmore especially to such engiues where the gas\\nis derived from the vaporization of a suitable\\nvolatile hydrocarbon liquid, preferably some\\nproduct of petroleum like gasolene, for in-\\nstance and the construction is furthermore\\nadapted for attachment to a bicycle in par-\\nticular to form the moving motor for the\\nsame in substitution of the usual pedal-move-\\nment thereof.\\nThe novel features consist, therefore, of\\nparts adapted for use on gas-engines in gen-\\neral that is, such nsing manufactured gas\u00e2\u0080\u0094\\nof each parts which are only adapted for en-\\ngines where vaporized gas is used, and finally\\nof parts whereby an engine of the latter class\\nbecomes adapted for use as a bicycle-motor\\nin particular or other vehicle in general.\\nOf the first class of parts the improvements\\nrelate to the admission and exhaust valves,\\nto the means of operating them, to themeaus\\nwhereby the ignition of the gas is brought\\nabout, to a speed-governor and the manner\\nof operating it, and to features of constrnc-\\ntion in general and in detail.\\nOf the second class of parts tlie improve-\\nments relate to tliQ means for admitting and\\nregulating such admission of the gas-pro-\\nd.ucing liquid and to the features of con-\\nstruction in general and in detail of these\\nparts and others connected therewith.\\nOf the third class of parts the improve-\\nments relate to the means and construction\\nwhereby the motor becomes adapted for at-\\ntachment toand useon abicyole. to the means\\nfor carrying a gas-producing liquid and water\\nused for cooling the cylinder, and to features\\nof construction in general and in detail in-\\nvolved in this connection.\\nIn general this \u00c2\u00a3ngine, which is single acting,\\nbelongs to that class of gas-niotoi-s where a\\ncycle of four succeeding piston-strokes com-\\nprises and accomplishes one complete opera-\\ntion of the engine iu the following manner:\\nAt the outgoing or suction stroke gas or the\\ngas-producing liquid as well as air are drawn\\ninto the cylinder, which mixture is com-\\npressed at the following second or compres-\\nsion stroke, at the end of which stroke with\\nthe compressed g;\\\\s and air at its greatest\\ndonsitythe ignition and explosion takes place.\\nThis latter throws the pioton out again, con-\\nstituting the thiid or working stroke, being\\nfollowed by the fourth stroke, which, going\\ninwardly, forms tlie exhaust-stroke by driving\\nthe decomposed gases before it out of the cyl-\\ninder. This completes the cycle of four\\nstrokes, followed again by a suction-stroke.\\nAs will be .seen, the center of the crank-\\nshaft is not in line with the center of the cyl-\\ninder, whereby I am enabled to use a shorter\\nconnecting-rod and shorten the engine, all of\\nwhich tends to reduce weight. This position\\nis also a very favorable one as regards the\\ntransmission of poWer from the piston to the\\ncrank by bringing these t^xo more nearly in\\na direct line during the effective or working\\nstroke. These same two parts are of course\\nthat mnch out of line on the other stroke, but\\nthis is at a time when no power is transmit-\\nted from the piston to the crank.\\nMeans to lubricate all working parts are\\nprovided in a suitable way, as is customary\\nin such cases. The bearings at the ends of\\nthe connecting-rod where the same connects\\nto crank and piston I lubricate by oil carried\\nin the connecting-rod, which is longitudinally\\nperforated for such purpose and the ends of\\nwhich perforation terminate in said bearings.\\n1.

(No model.)\\nMy inveutioQ relates to imprbveAietits in\\nmotocycles; and it con.-jists in providing a\\ncycle or other device intended for carriage or\\ntransportation purposes with a motor mech-\\nanism composed of a gas-engine and an elec-\\ntric motor and a power-generator adapted to\\ngenerate aud supply the gas and electricity\\nrequired to supply the gas-engine and motot\\nmechanisms and in so arranging and combin-\\ning the same with the cycle oi* like device as\\nwill make a whole apparatus operative and\\ncomplete in construction and efficient and\\neconomical in its operation.\\nThe object of my invention is to provide\\nCircles, carriages, or the like with a light, com-\\npact, and effective motor mechanism and to\\ncombine therein the requisite and maximum\\ndegree of capacity with the minimum of\\nweight and size and toaccomplish such other\\ndesirable ends incidental thereto, as will be\\nmore fully explained hereinafter and will be\\nreferred to more particularly in the claims.\\nIn tho accompanying drawings, and in\\nwhich similar letters refer to similar parts\\nthroughout the several views, which are part\\nof this specification and are to be taken in\\nconnection therewith, Figure 1 represents a\\nside elevation of a cycle provided with my in-\\nvention. This figure shows the power-gen-\\nerator, consisting of a series of hydrogen-gas\\nand electricity generating cups secured at the\\nupper part of the frame in a basket or holder\\nwhich carries them and which is secured to\\nthe frame, as will be more fully ^escribed\\nhereinafter. The gas-engine mechanism and\\nthe electric motor are also shown in their re-\\nspective positions on other portions of the\\nframe and to which they are suitably con-\\nnected. The connections between the gener-\\nator and the engine and motor are also rep-\\nresented, and the devices for controlling the\\nsnpply of the gas and electricity thereto are\\nalso herein shown.\\nThe nature of the system of generating\\nand using hydrogen gas and electricity as a\\nmotive power in connection with this inven-\\ntion can be more fully understood by refer-\\nring to another invention of mine, for which\\nLetters Patent No, 583,104 were granted to\\nmeonMay25, 1897, entitled S3 stemof gen-\\nerating and using hydrogen gas and elec-\\ntricity, and the character of the construc-\\ntion and operation of the gas-engine mech-\\nanism herein referred to can also be more\\nclearly understood by referring to Letters\\nPatent No. 577,567, dated February 23, 1897,\\nentitled Gas engine, which were also\\ngranted to me for said invention.\\nThe operation of my invention will now be\\ndescribed. The generators are charged by\\npreparing each of the cups with its respec-\\ntive components of electrodes and dilute sul-\\nf uric-acid solution and adjusting them in po-\\nsition in the basket by means of its fasten-\\nings to the cycle-frame, as already described.\\nThe gas and electrical connections with the\\nengine and electric-motor devices are then\\nadjusted and the whole apparatus is ready\\nfor use, as the gas and electricity commence\\nto generate as soon as the connections are\\ncomplete. The,ridermay then mount the cycle\\nand commence to ride it, as with an ordinary\\ncycle, by operating the pedal-shaft mechan-\\nism, and which causes the engine mechanism,\\nthrough thegear connections therewith, to op-\\nerate simultaneously with the movement of\\nthe cycle. This gives the start to the engine\\nrequisite to the operation of gas-engines gen-\\nerally and without the necessity of liaving or\\nusing a balance-wheel, as ordinarily required.\\nAt the same time olecVicity is generated in\\nthe generators, and the circuit through the\\ninduction-coil and engine -electrodes being*\\ncomplete the electric sparks are produced\\nwithin the engine that are necessary for the\\nignition of the gas. Tixo electric motor, whicU\\nreceives the larger part of the electric cur-\\nrout generated in the generators, converts it\\ninto mechanical power, which is transmitted\\nthrough its belt oonnectioa to the engine\\ncrank-shaft, and with the engine cooperates\\nin supplying power to the pedal-shaft of the\\ncycle and thus cause the propulsion of the\\nlatter. The electric current is controlled by\\nvhe switch on the upper center of the cycle-\\nframe and convenient for access to the rider.", "height": "3509", "width": "2492", "jp2-path": "digestofunitedst00alle_0520.jp2"}, "511": {"fulltext": "The gas-SKpply to the engine is equally well\\nunder his control, as the same manipulation\\nas that required for the operation of the brake\\nmechanism actuates the cut-off devices, as\\nalready explained, and by reason of the elastic\\ncharacter of the bolster-spring, against which\\nthecat-off compresses the gas-duct^ the utility\\nof the brake mechanism is not otnerwise af-\\nfected or impaired.

I will be simple In\\nconstruclion and durable in nction, and,\\nfourth, preveuLing accumulation of charges\\nwithin the ignition-chamber in case the ig-\\nniting device sliould fail to operate, so that\\nhurtful explosions are prevented.\\n1 use for ii C3 linder a centrally-bored tube\\n-or barrel the walls of which avo nf snffir ient\\nGAS.\\nthickness to withstand the shock ol the ex-\\nplosion of tho maximum charge of powder\\nwhich is to be fired therein and ignite the\\nsuccessiv^eharges of powder by causing them\\nto fall, when Introduced into -the ignition-\\nchamber, upon an incandescent wire which\\nis preferably constructed of platinum andip\\nmade incandescent by an electric current\\ngenerated by a battery used in connection\\nwith the engine. The powder feed and.the ex-\\nhaust openings I place directly over each\\nother in a vertical fine, so that should the ig-\\nnition-wire fail to operate, through a tempo-\\nrary stoppage of the electric current, the\\ncharges of powder would fall into the exhaust-\\nopening and be successively removed from\\nthe ignition-chamber as uniformly as they\\nare introduced therein. The gases produced\\nby the explosion of the successive charges of\\npowder act directly upon the face of the pis-\\nton, which reciprocates within the bore of the\\ncylinder and transmits its motion by a crank\\nconnection to a suitably -journaled power-\\nshaft. To lessen the shock and violence of\\nthe explosion within the ignition-chamber, I\\nmake use of a supplemental piston which is\\nhtationed in the interior bore of the cylinder,\\nso as to close the end of the same not occu-\\npied by the power-piston and which as the\\nexplosions occur is adapted to be forced back-\\nward within the bore of the cylinder, and to\\nthus relieve the pressure caused by the ex-\\nplosions. The supplemental piston isforced\\nback so as to form an end of the ignition-\\nchamber by the elasticity of the air between\\nthe same and the end or head of the cylinder\\nor by the action of a spiral spring introduced\\nbetween the head of the cylinder and the pis-\\nton or by other means. The effect of thus\\nallowing the expansive force of the gases\\nproduced by the explosion of the charges of\\npowder to be exerted in opposite directions\\nis to moderate the violence of the explosions,\\nwhile the return movement of the detached\\npiston maintains the pressure within the ig-\\nnition-chamber relatively uniform and en-\\nables the piston to travel with a steady stroke.\\n1. In a powder engine, the combination\\nwith a cylinder, an igniting device, and a pis-\\nton or pistons to transmit the power derived\\nfrom the explosion of the charges of powder,\\nof powder feed and exhaust mechanism.s, and\\npowder feed and exhaust openings in said\\ncylinder, said powder -feed opening being\\nformed verticallj over said exhaust-opening,\\nwhereby accumulation of successive charges\\nin the cylinder is prevented, substantially as\\ndescribed.\\n2.

VICTOR E. PRETOT, Paris.\\nFrance. Self- Propelling Carriage.\\nFiled Feb. 26, 1897. Patented Sept. 6,\\n1898. Serial No. 625.159. (No model.)\\nThis invention relates to a self-propelled\\nfore-carriage with an improved petroleum-\\nmotor applicable to vehicles of every kind.\\nThe system of self-propelled fore-carriage\\nwhich forms the subject of the present in-\\nvention enables me to apply instantly me\\nchanical traction to any carriage or vehicU\\nusually drawn by horses by simply substi\\ntuting the same for the ordinary .fore-car\\nriage. It can therefore also be employed foi\\nthe same reason for the propulsion of any ex-\\nclusively self-propelled vehicle.\\nIt is easy to understand that considerable\\nadvantages are gained by reason 6f the possi-\\nbility of transforming any existing vehicles\\ninto self-propelled vehicles, and by reason of\\nthe utilization of a single mechanical fore-\\ncarriage for the service of 8e\\\\ eral carriages\\nnot having to be employed siraultaneou.sly.\\nTho application of the propulsion to the front\\nwheels, whence it follows that the vehicle is\\ndrawn, as in the case of horses, and not\\npushed, as it is by the application of the mo-\\ntive power to the rear wheels also insures a\\nmore rational traction and easier steering.\\nThe whole is distinct from that which consti-\\ntutes the carriage proper and is adapted\\nthereto, so to speak, wi-thoat any modifica-\\ntion. The characteristic details cooperating\\nin the action of the whole are the following:\\nFirst, the petroleuui-motorwith opposingand\\nbalanced pistons, which is especially distin-\\nguished by the arrangement enabling me to\\ntransmit the movement of these pistons to the\\ndriving-shaft, which is concentric to the axle\\nitself; second, tho mechanism transmitting\\nthe movement of this shaft to the axle with\\nthe recinibite changes in the speed and in the\\ndirection of the movement, and serving also as\\nn disengaging and brake apparatus; third,\\nthe combination of tho speed-changing gear-\\nwheels with a mechanism influencing the\\nspeed of the motor directly; fourth, the con-\\nsiderable simplification of the operations to\\nbe effected for controlling the vehicle and\\nthe means lortransmittingthem tothemech-\\nanismsdependingon the fore-carriage despite\\nthe steeringmotions which it effects relatively\\nto the principal partof the carriage where the\\ndriver is placed; fifth, the exclusive attach-\\nment to the axle of the driving mechanisrj,\\nwliich is thus entirely independent of the car-\\nriage itself and of its suspension, the occu-\\npants not feeling any vibration, particularly\\nas the motor is arranged for redticing them to\\nthe smallest amount.\\n1.

Upon a forward part, such as\\nthe dasher, and preferably high up with ref-\\nerence to the vehicle, is provided an intake-\\nduct d^. The connection with the motor is\\nbroken for the sake of clearness in Fig. 1,\\nbut in Fig. 2 it is indicated again at d^ It\\nis presumed that pure air may be obtained\\nhere ratlier than in the rear of or under the\\nvehicle, where dust has risen from the mov-\\ning of the wheels upon the roadway. This\\nduct constitutes the intake of the motor.\\nThe use and operation of the devices de-\\nscribed have been carefully pointed oiit from\\ntime to time as the description has progressed\\nand will need no further elaboration at this\\npoint in the specification, as the operation of\\nthe vehio and vehicle-power as a whole will\\nnot only oe thoroughly understood, but the\\ndetailed operation of the various features se-\\nlected to illustrate one fprm of their applica-\\ntion will also be readily seen from the fore-\\ngoing description.

EUGENE G. RASSINIER,\\nParis, France. Liquid-Carbonic-Acid\\nMotive Power for Vehicles. Filed May\\n10, 1897. Patented Jan. 3, IS SO. Serial\\nNo. 635,773. (No model.)\\nBe it known that I, Eugene Georges KAS-\\nSINIER, of the city of Paris, France, have in-\\nvented a Liquid-Carbonic- Acid Motive-Power\\nApparatus for Vehicles, (for which I have ob-\\ntained Letters Patent in France for fifteen\\nyears, dated April 20, 1890, No. 255,679; in\\nBelgium for fifteen years, dated January 19,\\n1897, No. 125,809, and in England for four-\\nteen years, dated July 3, 1896, No. 14,720,) of\\nwhich the following is a full, clear, and exact\\nt^escription,\\nMyiuventionrelatestoliquid-carbonic-aoid\\nmotive -power apparatus specially adapted\\nfor vehicles.\\nIt is well known that when carbonic acid\\nis used as a motive power the acid in expand-\\ning from the liquid to the gaseous state pro-\\nduces such al,pW temperature congelation of\\nthat liquid carhonic-acid gjis. -Henitofore i(\\nhas been customary to heat the liquid-car\\nbonic-acid receptacle in order to prevent coh-\\ngelation from the above-mentioned causes.\\nThis heating of the carbonic-acid reccpta\\ncle, however, is not practical where the mo-\\ntor must be stopped and started frequently\\nand is frequently stopped for a considerable\\nlength of time, for the reason that if tho car-\\nbonic-acid receptacle continues to receive\\nheat when the evolved gas is not being used\\nthe result will be an extremely high pressure\\nin the said receptacle which must be relieved\\nwhen the apparatus is at rest. A safety-val vft^\\nhas generally been provided for this p.urpose,\\nwhich of course is very wasteful of the car-\\nbonic-acid gas. My invention obviates these\\ndisadvantages. In addition to obviating the\\n\u00e2\u0080\u00a2disadvantages mentioned, which result is ef-\\nfected by heating the carbonic-acid-gas re-\\nceptacle only when the apparatus is in action,\\nany apparatus, involves further special ad-\\nvantages. By my construction I am able to\\ncause the carbonic-acid gas to expand three\\ntimes its volume at a temperature of 200\u00c2\u00b0 be-\\nfore its admission to the cylinder, and by ad-\\nmixing a small quantity of steam therewith\\nleakage is prevented, the pistoh is lubricated,\\nand carbonic-acid gas is economized.\\nMy invention will be understood by refer-\\nring to the drawing, forming part thereof,\\nwhich exhibits an apparatus embodying my\\ninvention.\\n1. In an apparatus- for the production of\\nrnotive power from liquid carbonic acid spe-\\ncially adapted for use in motor-carriages, the\\ncombination of a liquid-carbonie-acid reser^\\nvoir provided with a heating-chamber, ^gas-\\npxpansion chamber E communicating with\\nthe liqn id-carbonic-acid reservoir, a source\\npf liquid-supply, a heater receiving carbonic\\nftcid and liquid from the expansion-chamber\\nand liquid-reservoir respectively and produc-\\ning steam which is admixed with the car-\\nbonic-acid gas in the heater, a motor driveHi\\nby the said steam-and-gas mixture and acr\\nexhaust from the said gas-raotor conducting\\nthe spent steam-and-gas mixture from the\\nsaid motor to the heating-chamber for the\\nliquid-carbonic-acid reservoir, whereby, whei\\ntho motor is in operation, hot spent gases will\\nbe supplied by the motor to heat the liqaid-\\ncarbonic-acid reservoir to prevent the same\\nfrom freezing, and when the motor is stopped,\\nheat will no longer, be supplied to the said\\nliqaid-carbonie-acidreservoir whereby a dan-\\ngerous evolution of gas therein will be avoided\\n\u00e2\u0096\u00a0when the motor is at rest, substantially as\\ndescribed and for purposes set forth.\\n2. The herein-described apparatus for util-\\nizing liquid carbonic acid gas for motive\\npower, lubricating parts and effecting tho\\nheating of the liquid carbonic acid to proven t\\ncongelation thereof while the motor is run-\\nning, comprising in its structdre, a liquidn\\ncarbonic acid reservoir having a heating-\\nchamber, an expansion-chamber E, a liquid-\\nreservoir M provided with a pressure-pipe\\ncommunicating with the liquid-carbonic-aoid\\nreceptacle in advanceof the expansion-cham-\\nber E, a tubular heater G communicating\\nwith the liqnid-reseryoir and the expansion-\\nchamber E, a motor receiving a mixture of\\nsteam and hot carbonic-acid gas from the sai(t\\ntubular heater and an exhaust forming a com-\\nmunication between the motor and the heater\\nfor the liquid carbonic-acid receptacle, and\\nadapted to heat the same only when the mo-\\ntor is running.\\n620,431.

In this Robson method gas and\\nair are drawn into the front end of tlie cylin-\\nder during the return stroke of the piston\\nthrough an automatic valve and at atmos-\\npheric pressure. Th.e next out or motive\\nstroke of the piston compresses the mixture\\nin an intermediate chamber, and when the\\npiston is fully out and the exhaust-ports of\\nthe cylinder fully open these compressed\\ngases lift a valve leading to the compression-\\nspace of the engine, discharging before it the\\nburned gases contained in the cylinder\\nthrough the exhaust-valve and filling the cyl-\\ninder and space with the explosive mixture.\\nThis reduces the pressure in the intermediate\\nchamber, so that the return stroke of the pis-\\nton besides compressing the explosive cTiarge\\nin the explosive-space of the cylinder can\\ndraw a fresh charge into the iijtermediate\\nchamber, there to be compressed and used as\\nbefore.\\nIn my method the means of accomplishing\\nthe various steps differ from the Robson, as\\ndo also the mechanical devices for accom-\\nplishing it, and by my method the air and the\\nfuelarekept separate and the oil is restrained\\nfrom entering th,e cylinder until after the air\\nis admitted and has forced from the cylind-er\\nthe burned gases and aho until after the ex-\\nhaust-ports are closed. This insures that\\nthere shall be no loss of fuel. I also ignite\\nthe explosive charge antomatieally by the\\nheat of the compression, which is made high\\nenough say one hundred pounds to the\\nsquare inch to do so, being sufficient when\\ntaken in connection with the heat remaining\\nfrom the previous explosion, and care should\\nbetaken to use a spring K that shall be strong\\neaougb to store up sufficient power to permit\\nit to effect this degree of compression upon\\nthe mixture. The reciprocating parts of the\\nengine should be sufficiently heavy to deliver\\nthis stored fores at the end of the return\\nstroke of the piston while the compression in\\nthe explosion-chamber is going on.\\nFrom the foregoing it will be seen that there\\nis embodied in the invention which has been\\ndescribed means by which the engine may be\\nstarted without causing the driving-wheel to\\nbe actuated and wh6reb3 .the engine maybe\\nset in operation before the machine is mount-\\ned or the vehicle started; also, means by\\nGAS.\\nwhich the connection between the engine and\\nthe driving-wheel may be established by a de-\\nvice actuated by the foot of the rider; also,\\nthat by said device the amount of power de-\\nlivoi-ed to the driving-wheel, and therefore\\nthe speed at which it is turned, may be varied\\nat the will of the rider. Itwillalsobe seen that\\ntbere is combined with this means for start-\\ning and operating the engine a brake that is\\nadapted to bo applied by foot-power and at\\nanytime, either with Ihe power upon the driv-\\ning-wheel or not, also, that this method of op-\\nerating and controlling the vehicle leaves tlie\\nhands of ihe rider free to grasp and use the\\n.steering-hanOle, as m the usual safety-bicycle\\nor other similar machine. This construction\\nof engine and wheel also provides a propelling\\nmechanism entirely inclosed and has no chain,\\ncrank, or other moving external parts and\\nthe engine or driving mechanism is freely\\nconnected with the driving-wheel, so that no\\nordinary cramping or other common accident\\nwill interfere or prevent the deli very of power\\nto the wheel. It will further be seen that tlie\\nvarious operative parts of the engine are con-\\ntained in the frame of the machine and econ-\\nomy in space and weight thereby effected, that\\nthe mechanism isso balanced that the machine\\nis not subjected to vibration, that because of\\nthe interposition of the spring R^ shocks or\\nabrupt impulses of the explosion are not felt,\\nand that the engine is adapted to be directly\\nstarted and without the usual preliminary\\nmovements. I would further say that the\\nvarious features of the invention are adapted\\nto other engines and uses, and that I do not,\\nso far a^ they are concerned, limit the inven-\\ntion to their employment with vehicles^ I\\nwould further say that while I have shown\\nthe invention its applied to a safetj -bicycle\\nI do not mean to limit its use to its connec-\\ntion with such a vehicle, as it may bo used\\nin connection with a vehicle of any kind.\\nWhile in many instances the use of the\\nsaved last explosive charge is a good and all-\\nsufficient means, for starting and may be ap-\\nplied to existing engines therefor and when\\nso used, I hold, comes within the scope of this\\ninvention, still as in many instances it may\\nbe desirable to use, as in the present and on\\naccount of the more perfect combustion in-\\nduced thereb} an explosive mixture so di-\\nlute as to be exploded with difficulty in the\\ncold uncompressed state in which it exists at\\nthe time of starting I prefer to use some vapor\\nfrom the reservoir to enrich this first charge,\\nand as it is evident that this use of the reser-\\nvoir-vapor and the auxiliary chamber offer a\\nsecond good and sufficient means of starting\\nI claim both methods singly, as well as jointly.\\nI.disclaim any and all matter shown and\\ndescribed herein which has been made the\\nsubject-matter of my divisional application\\nfiled July 12, 1897, Serial No. 644,177, and\\nclaimed therein.\\n1.

(No model.)\\nEngines using compressed air as a motive\\npower are frequently obliged to store the air\\nat a very high pressure, so that the supply of\\nair in the storage-reservoirs is considerably\\nabove the working pressure. For example,\\nin the case of a locomotive-engine propelled\\nby means of compressed air it is necessary for\\nthe sake of portabih ty to magazine the air at\\na pressure eight or ten times as great as is re-\\nquired for use in the cylinders.\\nAlthongh I do not confine my invention en-\\ntirely to its applicability to locomotives^ yet\\nfor purposesof reference and description I will\\nrefer to it as applied to any locomotive which\\nuses compressed air as its motive power.\\nI am aware that patents have been taken\\nout for compouudiug-the cylinders in air-mo-\\ntors in Older to use the air at its high initial\\npressure, and by so doing avoid the loss (here-\\ninafter explained) which has hitherto always\\noccurred when the air has to be lowered to a\\nconvenient working pressure by means of a\\nreduting-valve. This, however, entails com-\\nplication, and, moreover, has not been found\\nto achieve the desired result. I propose by\\nmy invention, which is applicable to any com-\\npressed-air engine carrying its supply of air\\nstored at a higlier pressure than the actual\\nworking pressure, lo obviate this loss, at the\\nsame time Ubing the air at any convenient\\nworking pressure wliieh may be decided upon,\\nand storing itoriginally at any higher pressure.\\nwhich may be necessary in order to cany a suf-\\nficient quantity iu a limited space.\\nBefore describing my apparatus I will illus-\\ntrate by the diagram, Figure 1, the extent of\\nthe loss which exists in all eases where high-\\npressure air is reduced to a lower pressure be-\\nfore being used.

Serial No. 590,710\\n(No model.)\\nMy invention relates to power- vehicles, and\\nparticularly to what is known as Iiorseless\\nvehicles, and especially to that class of horse-\\nless vehicles which are driven by electric\\npower.\\nMy drawings illustrate an electrically-\\ndriven vehicle, the power being fflrnished\\nfrom a storage battery carried by the vehicle\\nitself. It will be understood, of course, that\\nmany of the features which I describe and\\nwhich I have iiiustratcd are applicable in\\nother connections and have separately a value\\nin connection with the vehicle, so that I do\\nnot wish to be understood as attempting here\\nto describe the whole application of any par-\\nticular feature, but J have assembled these\\nseveral features in a single complete vehicle\\nwhich for my present purposes seems to ex-\\npress in the best manner the utility, the func-\\ntion, and the office of the several novel fea-\\ntures which I have incorporated in this com-\\nplete device.\\nIn a vehicle of this kind everything must\\nunite tomake the operation of the device safe\\nin the hands even of an inexperienced per-\\nson. When, therciore, it becomes necessary\\nquickly to turntfie vehicle, an excited person\\ncan do so by simply pressing the handle to\\ntho proper .side and no damage can ensue,\\nIhough a careful or experienced person will\\nraise the handlcjuid thus release the friction-\\nIdck, whereupon he can easily effect the steer-\\ning of the vehicle. A lock, therefore, which,\\nwhile illocks the wlieels in any predetermined\\nposition, is nevertheless so constructed that\\nwithout any special release of any of its parts\\nil will still permit the device to be operated\\nis highly important, and I have shown it in\\nihe particular form of my so-call ^d friction-\\nlock.\\nReferring now to the driving meclianism,\\nwe find that it consists of two motors mounted\\nin the midst of a frame in such a manner that\\neach motor is adjustable longitudinally with\\nthe trame or so as to lighten or loosen the\\ndriving-chains, and that each also is pivotally\\nsupported at one end and elastically sup-\\nported at the other end, so that it has a mo-\\ntion to relieve it from the jar incident to the\\n527\\nuse of the vehicle on rough roads and pave-\\nments and also to enable it to give somewhat\\nwhen started. Tho upper spring takes tho\\nstrain at starting and the lower spring takes\\nmost of the strain incident to the jolting or\\njarring. The motor- shaft, as well as the\\narniaturc-shaft, being rigidly supported on\\nthe field -magnet or field-magnet frame in\\nsuch manner as has been suggested is not\\nsufTicienb to interfere in an} manner with the\\noperation of the device. The motors are ca-\\npable of operating together or either sepa-\\nrately, and each through its proper connec-\\ntions isadapt.ed to drive its associated wheel,\\nwhich wheel is rotaiabl} mounted at the ex-\\ntremity of the rear axle.\\nThe frame consists, as shown, of several\\nbars and parts which are rigidly secured to\\nthe front ami rear axles, and thus hold them\\nin rigid relation, the body of the vehicle be-\\ning supported by suitable springs on such\\naxles.\\nThe brake mechanism has been sufficiently\\ndescribed. It consists of two strap brakes or\\nstraps encircling br^ke-wheels on the respec-\\ntive motor-shafts and means whereby while\\nthese straps are normally kept loosened they\\nmay bo tighte ^ed simultaneously through an\\nequalizer or ovencr to clamp the motor-shaft\\nand stop (.he mechanism. The application of\\na brake to the wheel witli its elastic tire is\\nof course impracticable.\\n2. A steering device for vehicles containing\\na rotating bar, a handle eccentrically secured\\nto said bar, and a spring which tends to draw\\nthe handle from the bar so that the eccentric\\nportion is frictionally forced against a plat-\\nfocm to frictionally lock the parts in any de-\\nsired position.\\n2. A steering mechanism for vehicles con-\\ntaining a vertical rod, a platform which sur-\\nrounds one end of it, a handle eccentrically\\npivoted to the same end of said rod outside\\nof said platform, a spring on the opposite side\\nof the platform which tends to dr w the rod\\naway from the handle.\\n3.

Said wlieel consists\\nof a single hub, two i arallcl rims spaced a\\nsuitable distance from each other and having\\ntheir si okes arranged alternately or in stag-\\ngered relation to one another and said spokes\\nrigidly united to the hub, suitable tires on the\\ntwo rims, and a large driving sprocket-wheel\\narranged between the spaced rims and suit-\\na^bly united thereto, preferably by fastening\\n.tiie sprocket-wheel to the spokes of said par-\\nallel rims by means of clips, tiic whole being\\nsubstantially built up.\\nThe diameter of the sprocket-wheel is con-\\nsiderably less than the diameter of tlie two\\nspaced rims, and said sprocket-wheol is se-\\ncured to the spokes of The rims within the\\ninner edges of the said rims to leavearnnihtr\\nopen spaces between the inner edges of t]ie\\nrims and the outer edges of the spvoc-ket-\\nwheel, through which spaces may be dis-\\ncharged any dirt, snow, tfcc, which may ae-\\ncumulat-e in tlie annular groove of tlie front\\nwheel, wJiereby the front wheel is jne\\\\cnted\\nfrom clogging to interfere with the aclion of\\nthe sprocket-chain.\\nMy inixnoved vehicle is equipped with an\\nelectric motor, which is carried or rigidly\\nmounted on the head or upper end of the\\nsteering- fork, so tJifit the motor will be ad-\\njusted with and partake of the adjustment\\nof the steering-fork and the front wheel, in\\norder to keep the motor-shaft jn parallel re-\\nlation to the action of said front Mhecl. This\\nmotor is a twin motor, with two sets of pole-\\npieces or field-magnets, two armatures, and a\\nsingle shaft, and between these field-magnets\\nand armatures is arranged a small sprocket-\\nwheeV, which is rigid with the motor-shaft.\\nThe emploJ^nent of a twin motor enables me\\nto mount jt on the stoering-head of the vehi-\\ncle in a manner to balance itself so that the\\nweight is equally distributed on botJi sides\\nof the steering-head, and said twin motoi- also\\nprovides means for gearing tlie motor-sliaft\\ndirect to the front wheel of the veliicle, there-\\nby dispensing with a multiplicity of geanng\\nbetween the motor-shaft and the front wheel,\\nliiis motor and the front wheel ai-e geared\\ntogether by an endless sprocket-chain, which\\nengages with the small and lai ge sprockets\\nsecured to the motor-shaft and the fronj\\nwheel, respectively, and by thus directly\\ngefiring the jnotor and front wheel together\\nI am able to exert great leverage on t lie front\\nwheel or transmit thereto nearly all of. the\\npower of the motor, besides reducing the high\\nspeed of tlie motor-shaft to the proper speed\\nfor a vehicle designed to can-y one or nxore\\npersons over roada or streets.\\nMy improved veliicfe also includes certain\\nnovel combinations of devices and peculiar\\nconstruction and arrangementof parts, which\\nwill be hereinaftei- juore fullv described and\\nclaimed.\\n1.

Serial No. 590,710\\nNo model.)\\nMy invention relates to power-vehicles, and\\nparticular!} to what is known as horseless\\nvehicles, and especially to that class of horse-\\nless vehicles which are driven by electric\\npower.\\nM}-^ drawings illustrate an electrically-\\ndriven vehicle, the power being fftrnished\\nfrom a storage battery carried by the vehicle\\nitself. It will be undei stood, of course, that\\nmany of the features which I describe and\\nwhich I have illustrated are applicable in\\nother connections and have separately a value\\nin connection with the vehicle, so that I do\\nnot wish to be understood as attempting here\\nto describe the whole application of any par-\\nticular feature, but J have assembled these\\nseveral features in a single complete vehicle\\nwhich for my present purposes seems to ex-\\npress in the best manner the utility, thefunc-\\ntion, and the office of the several novel fea-\\ntures which I have incorporated in this com-\\nplete device.\\nIn a vehicle of this kind everything must\\nunite tomake the operation of the device safe\\nin the hands even of an inexperienced per-\\nson. When, thereiore, it becomes necessary\\n([uickly to turn tfie vehicle, an excited person\\ncan do so by simply pressing the handle to\\nthe proper side and no damage can ensue,\\nIhougb a cai eful or experienced person will\\nraise the-handloand thus release the friction-\\nlock, whereupon he can easilyeflCect the steer-\\ning of the vehicle. A lock, Iherefore, which,\\nwhileillocks the wheels in any predetermined\\nposition, is nevertheless so constructed that\\nwithout an}- special release of any of its parts\\niL will still permit the device to be operated\\nis highly important, and I have shown it in\\nI he particular form of myso-call ^d friction-\\nlock.\\nKeferring now to the driving mechanism,\\nwe find that itconsistsof two motors mounted\\nin the midst of a frame in such a manner that\\neach motor is adjustable longitudinally with\\ntlic irame or so as to tighten or loosea the\\ndriving-chains, and that each also is pivotally\\nsupported at one end and elastieally sup-\\nported at the other end, so that it has a mo-\\ntion to i-elieve it from the jar incident to the\\n527\\nuse of the vehicle on rough roads and pave-\\nments and also to enable it to give somewhat\\nwhen started. The upper spring takes the\\nstrain at starting and the lower spring takes\\nmost of the strain incident to the jolting or\\njarring. The motor -shaft, as well as the\\narnmtnre-shaft, being rigldl} supported on\\nthe field -magnet or field-magnet frame in\\nsuch manner as has been suggested is not\\nsuflicient to interfere in any manner with the\\noperation of the device. The motors are ca-\\npable of operating together or either sepa-\\nrately, and each through its proper connec-\\ntions is adapted to drive its associated wheel,\\nwhich wheel is rota\u00c2\u00a3ably mounted at the ex-\\ntremity of the rear axle.\\nThe fi-ame consists, as shown, of several\\nbars and parts which are rigidly secured to\\nthe front and rear axles, and thus hold them\\nin rigid relation, the body of the vehicle be-\\ning supported by suitable springs on such\\naxles.\\nThe brake mechanism has been sufficiently\\ndescribed. It consists of two strap brakes or\\nstraps encircling brake-wheels on the respec-\\ntive motor-shafts and means whereby while\\nthese straps are normally kept loosened they\\nmay be tighte bed simultaneously through an\\nequalizer or ovener to clamp the motor-shaft\\nand stop the mechanism.

(No raodel.^\\nOur invention relates to a compound sys-\\ntem of traction by petroleum-motors and dy-\\nnamo-electric machines, which system is ap-\\nplicable to motor-cars and vehicles of any de-\\nscription that is to say, this system allows\\nof the independonce of the vehicles from one\\nanother and also fi-om a central station or\\npoint of production of power.\\nBy using heavy liydrocf^rbong the danger\\nof explosion is avoided, the vehicles start\\neasily and without- jerking, and tho vehicle\\ncan travel forward and backwai d as safely\\nand as quickly as desired without finy shock\\nof the gearing.\\nBythe use of electricity as an intermediary\\nwe overcome the difilculty experienced in\\nstarting, which is a serious drawback in nearly\\nallpotroleum-motor3,without,however,losing\\nany of their advantages, whicU are the ab-\\nsence of reservoirs subjected to high pres-\\nsures, the avoidance of f^requentretnrns to\\nthe station for reohuj ging, aiid the complete\\nindependence of tho vehicles.\\nIn carrying out thoiuventionwecouplethe\\nfield-magnets of an electric generator to a pe-\\ntroleum-motor kex t in constant revolution\\nand couple the armature to one of the axles\\nof the vehicle.\\nTo keep the vehicle stationary while the\\nmotor is in motion, theexternal circuit of the\\ngenerator is broken, and no current is then\\nproduced. If this outercircuit be closed and\\na higli resislaucp bo inserted by means of a\\nsuitable rheostat, a weak curreril; is gener-\\nated. Conserjuontlythearmature of the gen-\\nerator becomes excited by tho iield-magnets\\nand tends to revolve in the same direction\\nbut it i.s prevented from doing so by the re-\\nsistance to tho rolling movement, which is\\nopposed to tho movement of the vehicle. By\\ndiminishing tho electrical resistance in the\\nouter circuit the power generated by the d}\\nnarao increases and produces an increase in\\ntho tangential force. Thus there will finally\\nbe a moment at which this increased force\\novercomes the resistance of the wheels of the\\nvehicle and starts the vehicle. At this mo-\\nment tho aVmature of the dynamo begins to\\nrevolve in the same direction as the field-\\nmagnets, thereby causingareduction in speed\\nof the nmgnets relatively to that of thearm.i-\\nture, aud consequently also in the absoliilo\\nspeed of the dynamo. As the electromotive\\nforce decreases the powergeuerated becomes\\nless, and consequently ah-^o the woi k done by\\nthe motor; but this is no consequence, as the\\npower required for driving the vehicle is con-\\nsiderably less than that required for starting\\nit. The outcome of this is a tendency to es-\\ntablish a state of equilibrium between the\\nabsolute speed of the dynamo and that of the\\narmature, and thus the power e.^erted in driv-\\ning the vehicle will be in constant ratio to the\\nwork performed bythe petroleum-motor.\\nIt has beon here supposed, for convenience\\nsake, that the resistance in the outer circuit\\nhas been varied by means of a rheostat; but\\nit is clear that tho application of a rheostat\\nwould not he advantageous, as it would re-\\nquire the expenditure of energy not only to\\ndrive the voliicle, but also to heat the rheo-\\nstat. This arrangement is, however, rendered\\neconomical by sending the current from tht\\ndynamo into a suitable electric motor having\\nUs armature keyed upon tlie second axlo of\\nthe vehicle, a rheostat being interposed be-\\ntween the two armatures, so as to enable the\\nspeed of the vehicle to be varied and thu\\nstarting to be regulfitfid-\\nOne object of our invention is to provide\\nan elastic reversible coupling between tho\\npetroleum -motor and the vehicle, as de-\\nscribed hereinafter.\\n1.

(No model.)\\nI liis invention relates to the construction\\nof motor-vehicles, and more particularly to\\nthe running-gear thereof, comprising the\\nframe, axles, driving mechanism, brake, and\\nsteering-gear.\\nThe improved running gear herein de-\\nscribed, while contrived with special refer-\\nence to the employment of an electric motor\\nfor propulsion, is applicable, as will be seen,\\nto other suitable motors, the motor itself\\nforming no part of the present invention.\\nStudy of the conditions attending the use\\nOf self-propelled vehicles and practical ex-\\nperience therewith have shown that they dif-\\nfer materially from those attending the use\\nof vehicles drawn by an external power and\\nthat to meet successfully the conditions aris-\\ning in practical use many departures in con-\\nstruction from the best types of ordinaiy ve-\\nhicles are necessary or desirable.\\nThe object of the present invention is in\\ngeneral to meet practically these new condi-\\ntions and to provide a system of construction\\nlor self-propelled vehicles characterized by\\naimplicity, strength-, durability, flexibiity,\\nand facility for manipulation.\\nIn the ordinary type of running-gear the\\nfront axle is arranged to turn freely upon a\\nking-bolt, while the vehicle-body is supported\\nupon a frame consisting of the rear axle, a\\nbolster carried upon the front axle by tho\\nking-bolt or fifth-wheel, and eonneetions that\\nhold the bolster parallel with the rear axle,\\nthe frame being approximately rectangular.\\nIn the present construction since the body\\nis supported (by means of springs, notshown)\\ndirectly upon the front axle without the in-\\nterposition of the bolster the front a.vle must\\nbe retained insubstantially the same vertical\\nplane with respect to the body. Otherwise if\\nthis axle were free to turn there would be a\\nlateral strain or twisting of the connections\\nbetween the two parts. It is also neeessa?-y\\nin this part of the mechanism to make pro-\\nvision for one axle assuming a different an-\\ngular position from the other, as when one\\nwheel is lifted by an obstacle or irregularity\\nin the surface of the road while the other\\nwheels remain at a lower level or when one\\nwheel sinks into a rut. In case of a rigid\\nframe this would produce a dangerous strain\\non the joints and also a twist or torsion on the\\nside bars and axles. The strain, moreover,\\nis proportional to the distance anart of the", "height": "3478", "width": "2405", "jp2-path": "digestofunitedst00alle_0555.jp2"}, "544": {"fulltext": "534\\nside bais, which it is advantageous to motor-\\nvehicles to mnke as great aa possible. These\\nconditions are met, according to the present\\ninvention, by making ihe connection between\\none of the cross-bars and an axle rigid, while\\nl.ho other connections are loose. In the form I\\nprefer ooeside bar (say C) is rigidly connected\\nat its forward end with the front axle, the\\nconnection being made, as shown, by hollow\\nnniou-pieccs c c sorrounding the axle and\\nbrazed or otherwise secured thereto\\nIt is well understood that when the vehicle\\nmakes a turn or deviates from a right line\\nthe opposite wheels on the same axle rotate\\nwith dmerential speed and in extreme cases\\nmay even rotate in opposite directions. For\\nthis reason it is necessary that each of the\\ntwo wlieels of a pair should be capable of ab-\\nsolutely independent rotation. In the case of\\nthe driving-wheels, which must both be posi-\\ntively connected with and driven by the driv-\\ning-shaft, the provision for independent rev-\\nolution of each wheel h i8 presented one of\\nthe most difficult mechanical problems in the\\nConstruction of motor-vehicles. The ordinary\\nsolution of this problem consists in dividing\\nthe driving-shaft in the middle or, rather, in\\nproviding two shafts, one for each wheel, the\\nshafts being connected at their adjacent ends\\nby a compensating driving connection, a fa-\\nmiliar form of which comprised a bevel-gear\\non the end of each shaft and two pinions en-\\ngaging therewith carried by a driving-wheel\\nrotating on the axis of the shaft as a center.\\nIn straightforward motion the pinions acted\\nsimply as driving-keys for the bevel-gears;\\nbat in case of a turn the pinions turned on\\ntlieir own axes is far as necessary to compen-\\nsate for the difTcrential speeds of the two\\nwheels. The main objections to this system\\nare weakness due to dividing the driving-\\nshaft at or near the middle thereof, complex-\\nity of construction, and inaccessibility for re-\\npairs.\\nThe steering is effected through the front\\nwheels, which, as usual, are loose on their\\naxles. T^e hubs of the wheels are pivoted\\nso as to turn for the purpose of steering on\\na vertical axial line in the plane of the tread\\nof the wheel. This construction is common\\nin vehicles of this class and its advantages\\nare well understood. There are,however,spe-\\ncial features of construction in the steering-\\nheads, which will now be de3cribe_d.\\n1.

(No model.)\\nHeretofore it has been common in motor-\\ndriven vehicles having the front running-\\ngear arranged to be used for steering to piv-\\notally connect tlie front gear with the body\\nin such way that one could rotate as to the\\nother around a vertical axis passing through\\nthe front axle. I liave found that several\\nimportant ends can be attained if a radically\\ndifferent connection lie provided between the\\nfront gear and the vehicle-body. One of -the\\nimportant features of tliis novel connection\\nwhich I have devised consists in having the\\nvertical axis about which the front gear turns\\nsituated at a line considerably in the rear of\\nthe front axle.\\nI have fonnd great advantage to result from\\nthe connecting of the motor to the frontaxle\\nin the manner described and at the same time\\niiaving said axle to be n.sed for steering.\\nIt will be re.idilyseon that numerous forms\\not vehicle can be constructed varying from\\neach othec in details, but each containing the\\nessential features oC my invention.

The devices to be manipulated by\\nthe attendant are arranged within reach of\\nthe latter and comprise a hand -wheel for\\njiteeriug, a hand-wheel for changing the ve-\\nlocity, the latter hand-wheel being adapted\\nto be fixed in various positions, a pedal for\\neffecting the operation of an air-brake, a lever\\nfor pressing the block of a second brake\\nagainst the rim of the wheel, and a second\\nlever for mechanically changing the speed of\\nthe vehicle, the structural arrangements be-\\ning such as to afford a means for combining,\\nwith the changes of speed by electric coup-\\nling, two mechanical changes of speed.\\nI have shown in the accompanying draw-\\nings and by way of example the main struc-\\ntural arrangements of my invention em-\\nbodied in one particular form.\\nFor tne purpose of dispensing with the em-\\nployment of any intermediate frame or sup-\\nport for Dxingthe motor, which framoorsup-\\nport in vehicles as now constructed cncum-\\nbei-s and increases the weight of the vehicle,\\nI have arranged, as above described, to sup-\\nport tiie motor directl yon the rear axle of the\\nvehicle. To this end the axle is constructed\\nin the following manner tliat is to say At\\nits middle part Ik for a distance extending to\\nELECTRICITY.\\nthe points where tho suspCTision-springs are\\nattached, tho said axlo is curved, .so that at\\nthis part it is lower than at the ends?/ which\\nare made hollow to allow tho driving-shaft c\\nto pass ihercthrough. Tho i^aid shaft c is\\ntherefore above tho body or middle part ^of\\ntho axle.\\nThe spccd-elianging gear is in my vehicle\\narranged in tho following manner that is to\\nsay, it depends on the application to self-pro-\\npelled vehicles of a principle which has long\\nbeen known and utilized in workshops and\\nt,he like, but which has hitherto not been ap-\\nplied to self-propelled vehicles. According\\nto this arrangement the driving is effected\\nnot by the meshing together of toothed wheels,\\nbut by the adhesion of two smooth pulleys,\\nthe oiie the driving-pulley and the other the\\ndriven pulley, through the medium of one or\\nmore leather bands placed between them.\\nIn an electrically-propelled road-vehicle,\\nthe combination with the rear axlb having a\\ndownwardly-curved portion intermediately\\nof its hollow ends, the driving-shaftc having\\nits ends passed through the hollow ends of\\nsaid I car axle, a motor supported on the de-\\npressed portion of said rear axlo, the reai-\\nwheels mounted upon the ends of said driv-\\ning-shaft c,and theband-brakcsorair-brakes\\nW keyed on the wheel-naves near the in-\\nner ends thereof, substantially as specified.\\n625,772.

RUDOLPH M. HUNTER,\\nPhiladelphia, Pa. Electric Device for\\nPropelling and Controlling Vehicles.\\nFiled Mar. 29, 1899. Patented May 30.\\n1899. Serial No. 710,875.- (No model.)\\nMy invention has reference to electric de-\\nvices for propelling and controlling vehicles;\\nand it consists of certain improvements fnlly\\nset forth in the following specification and\\nshown in the accompanying drawings, which\\nform a part thereof.\\nThis application (Case No. 309) has special\\nreference toan electric motive means adapted\\nfor voady attachment to vehicles already in\\nuse, whereby a brougham, phaeton, or wagon\\nmay bo electrically propelled without mate-\\nrial modification or change in the said ve-\\nhicles. Generallyspeaking, the front wheels\\nand axles are removed and my improved elec-\\ntromotive mechanism substituted, the latter\\nbeing attached to the vehicle-body by a king-\\nbolt or universal pivot-joint.\\nMore specifically considered, my invention\\ncomprehends a battery compartment or box\\nfor housing the electri(ei*laceumulator.s, said\\nbox being spring-supported upon a pair of\\ndriving wheels and one or more steering-\\nwheels. The electric motors are geared or\\notherwise connected lo the driving-wheels by\\npower-transmitting connections. I prefer to\\nemploy two electric motors, one to each of\\nthe driving-wheels and operating independ-\\nently. A suitable series- multiple controller\\nor otlier means for regnlating the speed of the\\nmotors is attached to the vehicle proper or\\nadapted to be operated therefrom and is elec-\\ntrically connected with the batteries and mo-\\ntors, spas to permit of their movement about\\nthe king-bolt or universal joint, by which\\ntheyaro indirectly connected with the vehicle-\\nbody. The accumulator-cells are preferably\\narranged in series connection and the motors\\nand their field-coils thrown inseries orparal-\\nlel to vary the amperes of current, and hence\\ntho speed. In steering where shai p turns are\\nrequired, as in turning out from a curb or\\nrounding a corner, or where a quick tiirn is\\nnecessary to avoid a collision, it is advisable\\nto throw the entire motive force upon the\\noff wheel, or that one away from the direc-\\ntion of turning, and this action is comblried\\nwith the movement of the steering wheel or\\nwheels tocause the entire propelling mechan-\\nism to quickly turn upon the king-bolt while,\\nmoving .forward. To secure this result, I\\nprovide a suitable electric switcli device\\nwhich under tho extreme movements of the\\nsteering-lever cuts out one or the other of the\\ntwo motors or so controls the motive power\\nas ti confine the propelling action wholly to\\none sido of th8.vehicle. The rear wheels and\\nbody need perform no function in the pro-\\npelling or steering, and hence are simply\\ndragged or pulled along, and being supjTorted\\nonly on two wheels offer no material resist-\\nance to the proper swinging of the forward\\npart under the action of the electromotive\\nmechanism applied thereto at thft king-bolt.\\nThe electric switches are preferably so ar-\\nranged as to cut put or shunt the armatures\\nof the motors, but do not come intp action in\\nordinary steering when normally running, as\\nthat action is accomplished by the steering-\\nwheels alone. When either of the armatures\\nare cut out, the motor-circuits may have re-\\nsistances temporarily inserted by the switches\\nto keep tlown the current supplied to the re-\\nmaining motor in circuit and prevent tbo-\\nrapid speed when making the sharp turns.\\nBroadlyconsidered, my inventiouisan elec-\\ntric motive mechanism self-contained and ca-\\npable of independent steering and so com-\\nbined with a vehiqle-body of any usual con-\\nstruction that the latter is propelled and\\nsteered under the will of the operator. It is\\nfurther evident that in a single stable it\\nis possible to have one electromotive mech-\\nanism for a variety of vehicle-bodies, so that\\na gentleman may have his electric brougham,\\nphaeton, drag, fcc., at a moderate cost, espe-\\ncially so as he Can readily adapt his pi-esent\\nhorse -vehicles to use with my invention.\\n1.

Seria\\nNo. 147,340, fNo model.)\\nThis invention relates to tlio means neces\\nGEARING\\nsarv to make a ro.id vehicle of such simple\\nand cniluring con.slniclion, 1li.it when oper-\\nated by a suitable motor, it will transport over\\nordinary roads with convenience, economy\\nauddispateh,riders, liagga.i;?, and its own pro-\\npelling power, for which juirpose are required,\\nfirst, great economy in applying power; sec-\\nond, variety ot mujcularaclion; third, two or\\nmore points in the driving gear, to which\\npower may be si nuiltanconsly applied; fourth,\\npower vaiiable, and ailjnslaljle when under\\nway; fifth, all wheels should propel, steer\\nwithout slipping, be .stable on curves, resist\\ncentrifugal strain at high speed, have inini-\\nnuim friction on the roatl ami axlo, but maxi-\\nmum road grip, anil ho easily separated from\\nand replaced on the axles; sixth, smooth op-\\nerating eoniieclion Iwlwccn the driving gear,\\nand steering wheels; seventh, effective and\\nclean lubrication; eighth, the .special use of\\neach part to be the guide in construction and\\nall connections to conform thereto; ninth,\\nsimple anil reliable brake. In this instance\\nImnd and foot power, cither singly, or com-\\nbined are used, but ai^y steam, electric, or\\nothermotorof Iightcon5tiuetion,iuay be used\\nto supply the whole or a part of the required\\npower. I attain tiiese objects by the mech-\\nanism illustrated in the accompanying draw-\\nings.\\nThe size ot the road wheels, and the weight at\\nthe loaded points, determine thatspeoial rate\\nof speed for each vehicle, which requires the\\nleast power to maintain,- which rate is shown\\nby practice to be increased by the weights.\\nIn action the weights describe cycloidal paths\\nthrough the air, the upper one at twice the\\nspeed of the vehicle, while the lower one is\\nfor the moment at rest. As they are placed\\nabout midway between the cranks, each one\\nstores up part of the power from the crank\\nstroke ahead of it, and acts as an auxiliary\\ncrank, till the other crank comes into action.\\nThe weights arranged on two road wheels\\nconuected abreast, are of further assistance\\nat high speeds, as their momentum over-\\ncomes road friction, and if either wheel meets\\nan obstruction and is retarded, then the mo-\\nmentum of the other tends to keep the first\\none in line, and thereby to assist it over the\\nobstacle. The weights may also be cast into\\nhollow rims, or made integrr.l therein, as metal\\nsections of the fellies in a wooden wheel.\\nThey may also be iised in the back wheels,\\nbut it is better to use larger weights in the\\nfront wheels, they only being in accord with\\nthe driving gear, the principle being tnc con-\\ncentration of the momentum giving woisht\\nat two opposite points which in operation im-\\nparts an alternate and successive cycloidal\\naction to each weight.\\nThebracesare necessary to resist the eccen-\\ntric and elliptical strains, which the weights\\nmake on the wheels at high speed, and allow\\nof much faster travel than has heretofore been\\npossible. The eccentric strain necessitates\\ntheir being secured to the hub, and not di-\\nrectly to each other, as they might be bv\\nstraps passing the sides of ihe hub.\\nThe weights in a crude form for use on a\\nsingle wheel, aopear in my Patent No. 103,957,\\ndated June 7, 1870. These shown and de-\\nscribed here with the braces in addition, are\\nthe results after much use of the former.\\n1.

ITae connection in", "height": "3478", "width": "2405", "jp2-path": "digestofunitedst00alle_0567.jp2"}, "556": {"fulltext": "546\\nGEARING.\\nfact must be rigid for transniittinjr the im-\\npulse received and yet the axle wlijch passes\\nthrougli the center of the two wheels must be\\ncapable of Iming inclined in any direction to\\na considerable extent in relation to the frame\\nof the carriage according to the greater or\\nless resiUency of the springs. For describ-\\n-\u00e2\u0096\u00a0ng curves or turning round it is also neces-\\nsary that the speed of rotation of each of th^\\nwheels be proportional to the development of\\nthe curve to be described. This is oblaiued\\nby various means, notably by mounting each\\nof the wheels on a separate s^aft and by con-\\nnecting the two shafts by means of differen-\\ntial gearing. One of the objects of this in-.\\nventi in is to enable this differential gearing\\nt-o be fixed to the frame of the carriage or the\\nlite in such a manner that it is driven from\\nthe motor by mechanical means similar to\\nthose used for a fixed machine and to com-\\nmunicate the movement of rotation of the\\nshafts of differential gearing to the driving-\\nwheels. According t-o tliis invention tliis\\nconnection between the shafts of the differ-\\nential gparing and the axle of the driving-\\nwheels, which need not be parallel to the for-\\nmer and may deviate therefrom in all direc-\\ntions within the limits of the variable flexi-\\nbility of the suspension-springs, is obtained\\nby interposing between the shafts which it is\\nfequircd to operate a link device with two\\njointed heads or by one of Cardan s arrange-\\nment doing duty for joint-s. As it is neces-\\nsary to mount the driving-wheels in the jour-\\nnals of a rigid axle, the said axle is formed\\nin such a manner in its part between the two\\njouj-nals as to leave a free space for the dif-\\nferential movement. Then by hollowing out\\nor perforating the heads or journals and pass-\\ning through them shafts connected to the\\njointed links the movement of rotation is\\ntransferred to the outside of the said heads\\nor journals of the axle or shaft. An engag-\\ning or connecting part is then arranged on the\\noutsideextremity of eachof these shafts caus-\\ning the motor-wheels to turn; but it should\\nbe noticed that this connection between each\\nof the wheels and the motor-shaft demands a\\nconnection between the shaft and the felly\\nof the wheel that is to say, the conversion\\nof the rotary strain which the said shaft re-\\nceives into a force applied to the felly.\\nWhen, as often happens, the resistance of\\nthe felly to the tangential force which is im-\\nparted to it is subject to but slight variations,\\na rigid coniitetion is obtained by fixing the\\nnave of the wheel to the motor-axle and using\\na wheel with a solid core-piece or with sufft-\\nciently-6troug spokes; but in the latter case\\nif the felly of the wheel does not experience\\nthe same resistance througliout the spokes\\nhave a tendency to work loose and vibrate.\\nThe result is that the wheels with wooden\\nspokes work loose, the wear is rapid and\\nbreakage follows; and further the fact of hav-\\ning to transmit driWng power by the spokes\\nnecessitates imparting to the latter a sectional\\narea calculated on the bending strain and not\\nmerely on the weightsupported by the wheels.\\nThese observations refer particularly to the\\ncase of wooden wheels employed as driving-\\nwheels in self-driven vehicles. In fact, in\\n1. In self-driven vehicles, the combination\\nwith a rigid axle provided at its opposite ends\\nwith hollow journals supported by springs\\nconnected to the vehicle -body, of drive-\\nwheels joumaled on said hollow journals,\\nwheel-axles journaled in said hollow journals\\nand connected to the wlieels, a motor-oper-\\nated shaft, and links connected to the motor-\\noperated shaft and the wheel-axles by uni-\\n\\\\\\\\;rsal joints, substantially as described.\\n2.

This regulation of the\\nspeed of a vehicle by means of a governor is\\npossible orjy to the point where the motor\\n-eaches its maximum capacity, and after tliis\\npoint is reached an increase in the resistance\\nwill result either iu a decrease la the speed\\nof the vehicle or ebe in stoppingit altogether,\\naccording to the amount of the increased re-\\nsistance.\\nWhen the motor has reached its maximum\\ncapacity and is still unable to overcome the\\nresistance, it becomes necessary to lower the\\nspeed** of the gearing bet\\\\\\\\\u00c2\u00aben it and the\\ndriving-wheels, and hence I use variable gear-\\ning for this purpose, and the construction of\\nthisgearing constitutes another feature of the\\ninvention. By lowering tho speed of the gear-\\ning some speed in the vehicle is sacrificed,\\nbut Ibis sacrifice enables the motor to con-\\ntinue until the ik)int is reached where the\\nmotor has again reached its maximum capac-\\nity and the gearing has been adjusted to the\\nlowest speed provided for.\\nTn order to prevent sudden variations iu\\nthe speed of the vehicle fT? m prodncing cor-\\nrespooding variations in the speed of thfe mo-\\ntor and thereby subjecting the machine to se-\\nvere shocks and strains, the motoris connected\\nWith the driving-whoels^y means of gearing\\ncomprising two coopeiating members having\\nfriclional engagement with each other, and\\nthe construction of this gearing constituted\\nanother feature of the icvention. These co-\\noperating friction members permit of a lost\\nmotion between the motor and driving-wheels\\nwhenever the relations of the load and power\\nare suddenly varied, either by a viriation in\\nthe load due to a variation in the resistance\\nor by a variation in the power d ue to a cliange\\niu the speed of the meter.\\nAs a further means for preventing sudden\\nvariatiops in tbe speed of the vehicle from\\nproducing corresponding variations in the\\nspeed of the motor I arrange a fly-wheel on\\na shaft vfhich derives its motion from the\\nmotor throagh the medium of speed-raalti\\nplying gearing, and this constitutes another\\nfeature of the invention. It enables the fly-\\nwheel to be ran at. a high speed while the mo-\\ntor is running at a comparatively low speed.\\nWhen the machine is in operation, a certain\\namon ntof energy isstoredopin this fly- wheel,\\nand wheii the resistance to the progress of\\nthe vehicle varies this energy is instantly ex-\\npended in opposition to variation. Very fre-\\nquently these variationsareof very short du-\\nration, as, for example, when they are caused\\nby the wheels coming in contact with stones\\nor running into litCle hollows, and in these\\nCAsestihe energy stored in the fly-wheel and\\nin ihe nvoving vehicle and load will be suflB-\\noiept to in a great measure prevent them from\\naffcH ifig the speed of the vehicle and thereby\\nafEeetjJi the governor and consequently the\\nspeed oi*^ the motor.

I\\nThis invention relates to apparatus for\\ntransmitting motion with variable speed and\\nfor reversing motion, especially applicable\\nfor jnotor-cars, aJid aims to provide an im-\\nproved apparatus which shall be noiseless in\\n-O|)cration and which is capable of driving at\\nGEAR/NG\\na nuiuber oi different speeds such, for cx-~\\nample, iis .six, nini-, twelve, eighteen, and\\ntuenty-foiu kilometers per hour for the for-\\nw;ird motion and six, nine, and twelve kilo-\\nmeters per hour for the backward motion-\\nwhen applied to motor-cars, whicli ipplica-\\ntion of niyinventjon is shown In the accom-\\npanying diiiwiiigs.\\nIn cariyijig out my invention I provide a\\nbelt-driven stepped pulley having within it\\ntwo spur-gcats, theonor.ij extorually and Iho\\notlier an intcinally tootlieu gear, disposed in\\ndifferent planes, and I provide pairs of differ-\\nential pinions, one of hich noshes alter-\\nnately wiih either of said spur-gears, accord-\\ning to whether forward or reversed motion i^\\ndosh-edjand I provide a carrier for the pin-\\nions, movable axially therewith to bring the\\npinions into mesh with tlie proper spur-goai\\nof the pulley, a driven gear me.shing with\\none of the pinions, a brake controlling revo-\\nlution of this driven gear, and a shifter for\\nthrowing the parts from one to another posi-\\ntion, together with a saigle handle for operat-\\ning botii the brake and shifter, and I provide\\nvarions other features cf improvement, all of\\nwhich will bo hereinafter fully set forth in de-\\ntail in their preferred form wiMi reference to\\nthe accompanying drawinfics.\\nThe motor-engine may be of any suitable\\nor known kin l capable of running at a high\\nspeed, such as seven hundred revolutions per\\nmmute. The bslt is sliift-ed in any suitable\\nmanner to different steps of the pulleys to\\nvary the speed, to permit which it is a loose\\nbelt kept taut by the cylindrical weight T.\\nIn the construction shown the diameters of\\nthe two stepped pulleys and sprocket pinions\\nand gears are designed to permit variations\\nof si eed from twelve to eighteen oi* twenty-\\nfour kilometers per hour by mere shifting of\\nthe belt from one step to another. A suitable\\nforked lever may be employed for shifting the\\nbelt, audsuitable meansforraisingthe weight\\nto permit such shifting can be provided, these\\nparts not being shown, since they are too well\\nknown to require illustration, and their de-\\ntails are immaterial to my improvements.\\nI his apparatus presents the following ad\\nvantages:\\nFirst. The mechanical parts arehormetic-\\naUy inclosed against entrance of dust and es-\\ncape of noise, the partition y within the pul-\\nley, the collar R, fitting the gear E and shaft\\nA, and the cover y fitting the drum H and\\nclosing the end of the pulley P,, constituting\\nan inclosing case for the mechanism within\\nwhich the lubricant for the parts can be pre-\\nserved against escape and kept clean.\\nSecond. The teeth of the gears can be kept\\nrunning in oil within this case.\\nThird. Tbestops, reversals, and changes of\\nspeed can be accomplished by a single move^\\nment and without difficulty and are progress-\\nive or gradual with the changing of the belt\\nand the application of th^., brake, which latter\\nisalways si ightly lubricated, so as to be gradu-\\nated in its action.\\nFourth. The movements at the reduced\\nspeeds are almost noiseless and at the great-\\nest speeds are absolutely noiseless, because\\nin the latter case tha gears do not run at all,\\nthe pulley being then directly coupled to the\\nshaft, so that the latter is essentially a belt^\\nshaft.\\nFifth. The arrangement and dimensions of\\nthe apparatus are such that the irtmost com-\\npactness is attained and they require but lit-\\ntle space. Thus fo: the transmission of a\\npower of three and oue-half horse power the\\napparatus weighs from thirty-five to fiftj kil-\\nograms, according to the speed of the motor\\n-employed.\\n1. In variable-speed apparatus, the combi-\\nnation with a stopped pulley, of a speed-\\nchangiug mechanism, anJ a speed-reversing\\nmechanism operatively connected thereto,\\nand means for operating both tha speed-chang-\\ning and the speed-reversing mechanisms.\\n2. In variable gearing, the combination\\nwith internal and external gears revolving to-\\ngether, of a pinion for meshing with either of\\nsaid gears, said pinion and gears relatively\\nmovable, and constituting the one a driving\\nand the other a driven part, and means foj\\nmoving the movable part for alternately en-\\ngaging the pinion with the different gears,\\nand thereby reversinsr the motion of the driven\\npart.\\n3. The combination with a shaft, of a M heel\\nloosely mounted thereon and having two gear-\\nwheels connected lo aud revolving with it in\\nits interior, a pinion for meshing alternately\\nwith said gears,. a differential pinion drivet\\nby said first pinion, a carrier for said pin-\\nions movable axially to bring said first pin-\\nion into mesh with either of said gears, and\\na ihird gear-wheel meshing with said second\\nT inion.\\n4. The combination with a driving pulley\\nhaving a spur-gear, of a pinion meshing with\\nsaid gear, a carrier for said pinion, a second\\npinion driven by said first pinion, a second\\ngear meshing with said second pinion, a brake\\n555\\ncon ^rolling rotation of said second gear, a\\nshaft carrying said pnlley-carrierand second\\ngear, and a clutch for clutching said second\\ngear to said shaft, whereby said second gear\\ncan be clutched to said shaft and then will\\ncause the shaft and pulley to revolve to-\\ngether, and can be held immovable by said\\nbrake, and then will cause said pulley and\\ncarrier to revolve at different speeds.\\n5.

(No\\nmodel.)\\nThis invention relates to improvements in\\nmotor-vehicles, and more especially to the\\ndriving connections between the engines oi\\nprime moversof such vehiclesand the driving-\\nwheels tliereof, by which power is transmitted\\nfrom the formoi to the latter.\\nThe invention is more particularly intend-\\ned fof use iiiconoectiou with gas or vapor\\nJBUgides, but the principal features thereof\\n.may.be employed in connection with othei\\nmotors.\\nThe invention consists in the matters h^re\\ninafter described, and pointed out in the ap\\n.pended claims.\\nThe driving connections by which motion\\nis transmitted f roni the motor to the rear axlo\\nemlH-Hootwosoparate speed-changing do vices,\\none being the friction-gear, of which the disk\\nG forms a part or meniber, and the otl^er a\\ntoothed or ppur gear, both of said gears being\\ncontrolled by means of hand or foot lovers\\nwithin reach of the operator. The friction-\\ngear referred to is nsed in the ordinary run-\\nning of the vehicle for the purpose of varying\\nits speed witliin such limits as may be desir-\\nable for ordinary purposes, while tho spur-\\ngear is employed for giving a considerably\\n\u00e2\u0096\u00a0ediieod speed with a corresponding increase\\nof power, as may be necessary for ascending\\na declivity or in hauling a heavy load or un-\\nder othei- similar circumstances. Tho driv-\\ning connections between the- motor and the\\nrear axle also include a device applied to the\\nrear a.vle for c iualiaing tho po\\\\yor transmitted\\nto tho two driving-wheels thoi-eof, tho com-\\nponnd construction oC the roar ;ixlo above\\nreferred to being employed as part of sueli\\nequalizing device.\\nAn important advantage is gained by the\\nuse, in connection with the vehicle driving-\\nwheels and a motor or prime mover, of driv-\\ning-^ear embracing a friction speed-chang-\\ning and revei-sing mechanism so constructed\\nGEARING.\\nas to permit the disconnection of thf motor\\nfrom tho driving-wheels when desired, to-\\nerethorwitha spur-gear speed-changing mech-\\nanism interposed between tho friction speed-\\nchanging find reversing mechanism and said\\ndriving-wheels, for the reason tbattheepur-\\ngear speed changing mechanisin affords a\\nmoans of transmitting n^otion to tlio driving-\\nwhoolsof a character to turn the same slowly,\\nhut. with great power when dr-sirr^d, \\\\vhile at\\ntho same time the location nf such spur-gear\\nspeed-changing mechanism at the point in-\\ndicated enables the same to beoiisilyshifted\\nor manipulated atany time without stopping\\nthe motor, because the motor may be discon-\\nnected from the remaining parts of the gear-\\ning by actuation of the friction speed-chang-\\ning devices, and after this is done the spur-\\n^ear speed-charging device can then be op-\\nerated as desired, it being obviously imprac-\\nticable to shift such a spur-gear speed-chang-\\ning device during the time driving power is\\noeing transmitted therethrough. It is not,\\nhowever, necessary that the motion of the ve-\\nhicle itself should be stopped in order to en-\\nr.ble ^he moving part of the spur-gear speed-\\nchanging device to be moved or shifted, be-\\ncause X have found that as sor.n as the motor\\nhas been disconnected from the spur-gear-\\ning by operation of the friction devices the\\nmoving p.-irt of the spiir-gear spced-chang-\\niog device maybe shifted to disconnect it\\nfrom one gear-wheel and connect it with the\\nother one, even though the driving wheels\\nand gearing connected therewith continue to\\nrevolve by reason of tho forward movement\\nor the vehicle. In other words, the spur-gear\\nspeed-changing device can be easily manipu-\\nlated when the parts thereof are in motion,\\nprovided that no power is being transmitted\\nthrough them from the motor to the driving-\\nwheels.

The cams at-\\ntached to the pulley lie between the pins on\\nthe liawls, so that when the brake strap on\\none of the pulleys is applied and the wheel\\ngains upon thr pulley the forward pawl climbs\\none horn of the cam, which causes that pawl\\nto become disengaged, so that the axle no\\nlonger drives that wheel of the vehicle. In\\nthis way the vehicle can be steered. The.\\npawls on both sides of the vehicle may simi-\\nlarly disengage themselves for vu iin ing down-\\nhill, steering being effected by the wheel-\\nbrakes, as described, the motor fluid or elec-\\ntricity being for th9 time disconnected. The\\nhorn on the forward side of the cam of\\nthe pulley is held in position by the spring\\nshown, so that if it i.^ desired to make the\\nwheels work the motor going down steep\\nlills the pulley-br.ikes are applied and the\\nbackward pawl is caused to engage, the pin\\nbeing able to pass the horn when the latter is\\nmoved against the spring.

Serial No. 687,886.\\n(No model.)\\nThis invention relates to separately- pi voted\\nsteering- wheels for mechanically propelled\\nroad-vehicles, and particularly to that kind\\nin Which the wheel has its pi voting-point situ-\\nated iu the plane of the center of the wheel-\\ntire.\\nIt has for its object to simplify the con-\\nstruction ol: such wheels and, if desired, to\\ngive them a tendency to run straight ahead.\\nAccording to my invention the steering-\\nwheels have hollow hubs, preferably of metal,\\nand each carries an internally -projectyig\\ntrunnion, keyed or otherwise rigidly attached\\nthereto, such trunnion constitutiug the in-\\nternal member of the wheel-bearing. The\\nexterna? member consists of a metal sleeve\\nwithin which the trunnion rotates with or\\nwithout llic interposition of balls, rollers^ or\\nother ami friction device. The external mem-\\nber is also provided with a hole, boi-ed ver-\\ntically through il at one .side of the horizon-\\ntal bearing, within whicli the trunnion ro-\\ntates and is canned to pivot for the purposes\\nof steering by being mounted on a vertical\\npin supported in a solid metal fork formed\\non the end of the fixed axle and passing\\nthrough the vertical hole in the external mem-\\nber. The said external member is prefer-\\nably formed with an extension at the side,\\nthrough which the vertical hole is borod,the\\nposition of the extension being such that the\\naxis of the vertical hole through it is in the\\nplane of the center of the wheel-tire. The\\nrelative positions of the horizontal and ver-\\ntical borings in the external member or sleeve\\nmay be varied within certain limits. For ex-\\nample, the vertical boring may be so much\\nto the side of the horizontal as to be separated\\nfrom it by a certain portion of metal, or the\\ntjFO borings may just touch, or the vertical\\nmay cot the horizontal hole tp any desirable\\nextent, in which case the trunnion has an an-\\nnular groove to allow of the passage of the\\nvertical pin, or, if desired, a plain trunnion\\nmay be used and a groove be formed on the\\nvertical pin. In the former case the pin also\\nacts as a locking device to hold the trunnion\\nin the sleeve and resist lateral strains.\\nIn carrying my invention into effeot the\\nvertical pivot is preferably placed in advance\\nof the horizontal trunnion, thus giving to the\\nsteering-wheels a slight caster action or tend-\\nency to rnn straight, the amount of which\\nwill depend upon the horizontal distance be-\\ntween the axes of the horizontal and vertical\\nbearings, respectively. The external mem-\\nber carries also a steering-arm, rigidly at-\\ntached to it in any desirable way.\\n1.

To appreciate the dis-\\nadvantage attaching to this arrangement, it\\n13 only necessary to mount a vehicle provided\\nwith tho same and to push once only the le-\\nver by means of which one pair of wheels is\\nVrought out of gear in order to put another\\npair into gear. Before the necessary skill\\nrequired foi this operation has been acquired\\nit will be unusual if the whole set of wheels\\nforming this primitive transmitting mechan-\\nism is riot seriously damaged. To obviate\\nthis disadvantage, some vehicles are provided\\nwith a belt transmission. The variations in.\\nspeed are, it is true, thereby more easily ef-.\\nfected; but thisniethod of transmission is so\\noumbrou s by reason of the number of pnl-\\nleys necessary that with two speeds only the\\nwhole of the vehicle-frame is utilized. Now\\naccording to our invention we provide an ar-\\nrahgement which without disengaging the\\nteeth of the wheels gearing together gives\\nthree speeds in a forward direction and with-\\nout any complication one speed in a back-\\n.ward direction.

(No model.)\\nMy invention relates especially to the con-\\ntrol and propulsion of motor-vehicles; and it\\nconsists of a suitable handle or lever to guide\\nthe direction and speed of such vehicle and\\nthe transmission of power to tho vehicle driv-\\ning-wheels by suitable device^\\nIn vehicle-s heretofoi-e propelled bj* a pow-\\nerful mechanical motor of any kind the con-\\nnection between the motor-power and the\\nvehicle -wheels has been positive and non-\\nelastic. Pneumatic tires have been resorted\\nto to lessen the excessive vibration caused b\\nthe impact of the hard tires against an equally\\nhard obstruction. In my invention I arrange\\nfor an elastic application of the power of the\\nmotor to the driving-wheels of the vehicle,\\nwhich by giving the vehicle a slower motion\\nwhen passing over obstructions allows its av-\\nerage speed to be increased with safety and\\nwithout inconv-enience to its occupants, and\\nin case the driving-wheels meet with a sud-\\nden resistance, like running into a rut or\\nover a stone, the shock or jar is not commu-\\nv.icatod instantly and with its full force to\\nthe motor, but allows the reduction of the\\nspeed of the vehicle in proportion to the size\\nof the obstruction withoutaffecting the speed\\nof the motoL the giadual application of tho\\nload to the motor by this means allowing and\\ngiving time for it to develop its maximum\\nstrength before being stopped by any ob-\\nstruction, when otlierwise t,he motor might\\nbe caught unprepared and instantly stopped.\\nIn securing this result I employ a metal cyl-\\ninder so constructed that it may be tightly\\nclosed at one end and has fitted thereto a\\npiston so constructed that the air in the cylin-\\nder cannot escape when the piston is forced\\ntoward the closed end. The power of the\\nmotor being applied to either cylinder or pis-\\nton as preferred and the resistance of the ve-\\nhicle to the part opposite to that to which\\nthe power of the motor is applied will com-\\npress the air so contained until its density\\nwill equal in expansive force the power nec-\\nessary to the forward movement of the ve-\\nhicle.

(No\\nmodel.)\\nAccording to tins invention, which 13 ad\\nvantageooa for use with autocars and othei\\nsimilar vehicles, as well asln numerons other\\napplications, there is interposed between the\\nprime mover and the road -wheel or other\\ndriven device a mechanism adapted in part\\nto operate on and in part to be operated by a\\nsuitable flnid sayoilor water\u00e2\u0080\u0094 which is cir-\\nculated through it. In the description which\\nfollows the mechanism isdescHbed, by wayof\\nexample, as applied to driving an autocar.\\nThe said mechanism, together with theliqnid,\\ntransmits the whole of the power of the pri me\\nmover to the road-wheels; but it is so con-\\nstructed that while one part of it always runs\\nat the same speed (one which has a constant\\nmtioto that of the prira^ mover to which it\\nis connected) the other part connected with\\nthe road-wheels ordriven devicecan be made\\nto ran at any desired speed between nil and\\na maximum at will. Consequently the ap-\\nparatus can be used to control the speed of\\nthe vehicle independently of that of the prime\\nmover and also, if desired, the direction of\\nrotation otfehe driveu part.\\nITeliminarily it will be stated that this id-\\nveution contemplates the use of a fluid-pres-\\nsure-creating device having relatively mov-\\nable members between which the pressure is\\ncreated and both of which members are ca-\\npable of angular hiovenient). The driving\\npower or prime mover is applied to one mem-\\nber and the driven part connected with the\\nother member. Bearing this in mind, it will\\nbe at once understood that the movement of\\nthe prime moverniay be communicated to the\\ndriven part without variation if the tVo mem-\\nbers of the pressure-creating device Are hole*\\nrn fixed relation to each other, as by a body of\\npractically incompressible liquid confined be-\\ntween them, and, on the other hand, if the liq-.\\nnid is not confined then the movement of on^\\n01 cne lueiiioors 01 tne pressure-creating de-\\nvice, that connected with the prime mover,\\nwill not exert an appreciable torque on the\\nother or second member. Consequently this\\nsecond member may remain at rest. Now in\\norder to impart to said second member a\\ntorque variable with respect to the power and\\nspeed of the prime mover, whereby the angu-\\nlar movement uf the second member may\\nGEARING.\\nrange fi;pm ngthing under Iho conditions last\\n\u00e2\u0096\u00a0Stated up to a maximum and with a power\\ninversely proportioned to the speed, a raBch-\\nanism is employed which mayaptly be termed\\na power and .speed adjuster. The power\\nand speed adjuster modifles the action of tlie\\nliquid on the second ordriven member of the\\npressure-creating device, whereby a complete\\nmovement or cycle of the first meniber may\\ncause a cocxi.cn.sive angular movement, rota-\\ntion, or cycle of the driveirpart or second\\nmember or a differential angular movement\\nof the driven part or second member, as the\\n\u00e2\u0080\u00a23aso may be, and when, as in the embodiment\\nto be now described, a differential movement\\nof less speed may be attained the action of\\nthe liquid on the second member is prolonged,\\nas is the utilization of the discharge from the\\ndriving member, during a relatively-greater\\nmovement of the latter to produce a lesser\\nmovement of the driven member, whereby\\nthe torque imparted to the second member\\nwill, while of greater moment, he correspond-\\ningly slower in time.\\n1.

Speed-Regulating, Starting,\\nStopping, Reversing, and Steering Me-\\nchanism for Motor -Vehicles. Filed\\nMar, 23, 1897. Patented June 20 1899\\nSerial No. 628,823. (No model.)\\nBe itknown thati, ArthuePaget, of Lon-\\nlon, England, have invented certain new and\\niisefnl Improvements in Speed-Regulating,\\nStarting, Stopping, Reversing, and Steering\\nMechanism for Motor-Cars, Launches, and\\n(lie Like, (for which I have obtained a pateut\\nin Great Britain, No. S,.5!)0, bearing date April\\n23, 1S96, andin Frnuco, bearing date October\\n23, 1896, and nunjberod 2G0,0 iC of whieh the\\nfollowing is a speciiicvtion.\\nMy inveation has reference to speed-regu-\\nlating,starting, stopping, reversing.and steer-\\ning mechaiilsm for r.iotor-cais, lamidies, and\\nthe like when fitted with electric or other mo-\\ntors as the propelling or driving pcwer.\\nIt has in practice Iioen found dilliiult to de-\\nsign .speed-rcgulaliiig, starting, slopping, re-\\nversing, and steeling mechanism both rapid\\nin action and c.-.sy of maninulation. The\\nideal ariaugoment is one in wliich the actira-\\n..ion of Riioh uiechanism is effected altogether\\niostincliiely o:i the part of the person driv-\\ning. I altaiu ihis object aecordTng to the\\nireseiit invoutiou by means of a combined\\nOT\\\\ er-n gulatiiig and steering device com-\\nprising a head mornled on a shaft, which not\\ninly can be turned or, iis axis like the steer-\\ning-head of a bicycle, so as to steer (he csr,\\nlaunch, or (he like, but can also ho moved\\nbackward and forward, so as to 9(ait, stop,\\nreverse, and regulate the speed of the oar,\\nlaunch, or the like, the driver acting practi-\\ncally jnst as in driving a horse. Angular\\ndisplacement or rotation of the head for the\\npurpose of steering may bo made to product-\\nan equal or a lesser angulardisplacemeut oi\\nthe plane of the steering-wheels, according\\nto circumstances. The arrangement of the\\nparts is preferablj such that when the shaft\\nand steering-head are in, say, the middle po-\\nsition the power is entirely switched or turned\\nofC. When the steering he\u00c2\u00a3d and shaft are\\npushed forward, the.power is applied to drive\\nthe car, and when the steering hea d and shaft\\narc pulled back behind the middle position\\nthe power is reversed, while any desired\\nniaount of. power less Ihan the full power\\nmaybe obtained by moving the steering-head\\n,ito*portiona(ely away from the middle posi-\\ntion forward for driving and backward for\\nreversing. In cases where it_inay not b.e.i e.-\\n(lulreu 10 provide for reversing the most back-\\nward position of the steering head and shaft\\nmay be that which switches or turns off the\\npower.\\nThe device whieh islntended to oe operated\\nby means of the steering -head, in order to\\nregulate or control the power may, according\\nto the particular power employed, consist of,\\nany meohanisras whereby the variations of\\nmotion of the car or the like from rest to the\\nvarious degrees of motion in either direction\\nmay be substantially controlled by the to-\\nand-fro movement of a single connecting-rod\\nor its equivalent\u00e2\u0080\u0094 for example, either of an\\nelectric resistance switch and reversing-\\nawitch or of a four-way plunger- valve\u00e2\u0080\u0094 so as\\nto control the direction and amount of the\\nflow of a fluid in a hydraulic or other motive-\\nfluid circuit, or of jockey-pulleys in combina-\\ntion with rnnningbeU8,orof the rod control-\\nling the moving pai-t of any variable-power\\ndevice, or of any friction or positive driving\\nclutch gear.\\nThe steering of the car, launcli, oi- the like\\nby means of the rotary motion of the steer-\\ningshatt aliont its own axis may be effected\\nby a separate connecting-rod or its equiva-\\nlent operating, according to circumstances,\\neither by direct action upon the wheel-axle,\\nas In a bicycle, or through the intermedia-\\ntion, for example, of a lever or a rack and\\npinion connected to an under carriage or to\\nseparately-pivoted wheels, or by means of a\\nrack and pinion, lever, or other device act-\\ning on a plunger- valve, or in case of launches\\nby means of chains connected with the rud-\\nder.\\nIn the eases where Ihe gearing of the steer\\ning-wheel is such that tlie requisite move-\\nment is obtained by means of an angular\\nmovement of the steering-head not exceed-\\ning one hundred and eighty degrees I pref-\\nerably use an ordinary bicycle handle-bar.\\nWhere it is necessary to move the steering-\\nhead through a greater angle than one hua-\\nd red and eighty degrees, I construct the steer-\\ning-head in the form of a horizontal wheel.\\nIn order to avoid any liability of the steer^\\ning-head being unintentionally moved to or\\nfro while turning it, a locking device may be\\nprovided similar to that used for locking rail-\\nway signal-levers or for the reyersing-levet^\\nor engines, operated in the case of a Tiiioyole\\nhandle-bar by means of a handle similar to\\nthat of a bicycle-brake and in the case of a\\nhorizontal wheel by a second horizontal wheel\\ndirectly under the first and mounted on a\\nsliding collar connected to the locking device,\\nso that by raising the lower wheel the looking\\ndevice is released.\\n1 am aware that it has been proposed to use\\nfor other purposes, in connection with vehi-\\ncles propelled by human and mechanical\\npower, a head or handle capable of to-and-f ro\\nmovement and of rot-ary movement. I there-\\nfore make no general claim to the use of such\\nhead or handle, but only to its special use for\\nthe purposes and in the manner producing\\nthe novel result and combination herein de-\\nscribed.\\nI am aware that the use of a single handle\\nfor controlling both the speed-regulating and\\nsteering mechanism of motor-carriages or\\nlaunches is not new so far as relates to move-\\nment of the handle in two intersecting planes,\\nand I make no general claim to the use of a\\nsingle handle.\\nI. in a motor-car, launch or the like, the\\ncombination with steering mechanism there-\\nfor, and speed-regulating mechanism there\\nfor, of a head having a rotary motion on ai,\\naxis, and a backward-and-forward motion lat-\\nerally of said axis, a mechanical connection\\nbetween said steering mechanism and said\\nhead operated by its rotary motion and oper-\\natingsaid steeringmechanism, anda mechan-\\nical connection between said head and said", "height": "3509", "width": "2492", "jp2-path": "digestofunitedst00alle_0602.jp2"}, "591": {"fulltext": "GEARING\\n58/\\nspeed-regultitJri^ mecliADisiii opeiated ij Liif\\nbackvrard-and-Lorward motion of the* head,\\nand throwing said regulating ineL-hanism to\\nthe advancing position with forward jiiovg-\\nment of the head and toward the stopping jio-\\nsition with backward movement thereof,\\nwhereby the actual change of direction and\\nvelocity in the movement of said car, launch\\nor the like, correspond with the direction and\\nextent of movement of said head, substan-\\ntially as and for the purpose set forth.\\n2.

This efl;oct may be\\nobtained either by tilting the necessary parts\\nof the apparatus so as to relatively lower\\nthose parts to the inside of the curve and to\\nraise those to the outside of the curve, or it\\nmay be effected by bodily moving the neces-;", "height": "3478", "width": "2405", "jp2-path": "digestofunitedst00alle_0603.jp2"}, "592": {"fulltext": "582\\nsary portions, particularly tlie load, to that\\nside of the vehicle udjacout to the inside oi\\nthe curve. Various mechanical devices may\\nbe employed to cITect this purpose.\\nThe framework of the tricycle may be of a\\nriij idTshape, thetwoleadingsteering-whcels\\nbeing carried upon the crossand the driving-\\nwheel in a fork at the back of the stem of the\\nT. Upon this framework, which may bo pcr-\\nraaneut in its relation to the cariyiug-wJieels,\\nis pivoted the frame or platform which car-\\nries or forms the seating accommodation of\\nthe vehicle. The pivoting would be upon a\\nlongitudinal axis, so that the seats would tilt\\nto the right or left of the central lino of Ihc\\nvehicle. The movement may be elTccted by\\ninclined planes, cranks, levers, or the liko,\\npreferably connected directly or indirectly\\nwith the steering mechanism, so lliat when\\nthe steering apparatus is turned to direct the\\nvehicle in a curve to the right hand the seat\\nOP seats at that sido of the vehicle will be\\nlowered ana tUeseatorseaLsattheothcrside\\nof the vehicle will bo raised, and vice versa.\\nIn the case particularly of a vehicle intend-\\ned always to go around curves in the same di-\\nrection, as in the case of a pacing-vehicle for\\ncycle-tracks, the seating ai-rangement may\\nbe pivoted at one side of the vehicle and the\\nother side either raised or lowered, the effect\\nbeing substantially the same as that already\\ndescribed.\\nIf preferred, the wliole frame may be moved\\nin relation to the wheels, particularly the two\\nsteering-wheels, the forks containing which\\nmay be connected with the T or equivalent\\nframe by vertical slides, which may be set to\\na, circular sweep, so that while the wheels\\nmaintain their same positions in relation to\\nthe ground the T-frame would vary, one side\\napproaching the ground and the otheiTeced-\\ning from it.\\nWhere it is desired to aifect thedriving por-\\ntion of the vehicle only, the stem of the T\\nmaybe jointed or the connection between tlie\\nT and the cross may be jointed, so as to\\nallow of the necessary movement of the back\\nor driving portion of the frame in relation to\\nthe front portion of the frame, which would\\ncarry the seating accommodation and would\\nalways remain substantially parallel to the\\nground.\\nWhere the load is moved bodily sidewise,\\nthe movable portion may be carried upon\\nslides, slings, links, or equivalent and moved\\nby any convenient arrangement of levers,\\nscrews, or other suitable devices operating,\\nas before, in conjunction with the steering.\\nIt will easily be appreciated that the inven-\\ntion can be applied in a more or less simi-\\nlar manner to vehicles with more than three\\nwi.eels.\\n1.

Steam Fir^-Engine, Patented\\nJune 20 1871.\\nOur invenfion relates to the combination ol\\nthe boiler and works of a steam tire-engine\\nwith a rimiung-gear, so constructed as to dis-\\npense with a rciich or perch-pole and allow the\\nforward wheels to be turned completely uuder\\nthe frame in srch a manner as to jilace the\\nweights of the i ar(s upon the axles and relieve\\nthe frame of all straiu except what is necessary\\nto preserve the proper relative i osition of the\\naxles. This invention has for its iibject to im-\\nprove the construction of steam fire-eugiues\\nin such a way as to render them less liable to\\nbe injured or disabled by the giving way of\\ncertain parts, aud to adapt thcui also to be\\nturned or managed with greater facility, ac-\\ncuracy, and safety, while the engineer and fire-\\nman shall have access to the engine and boiler,\\nrespecti \\\\*ely, as to greatly facilitate the per-\\ninanenceof their duties. To thisend we arrange\\nall the piirts composing the engine directly\\nover the front axlo and the boilei ou tho rear\\naxle, connecting the said axles by curved\\nreaches or braces. Thus the front wheels may\\nbe turned completely round the engine, which\\nfacilitates turning in naiTow limits, and en-\\nables the tongue and connected parts to be\\nplaced out of the way of the engineer, Thi.s\\nconstruction also allows the engineei and fire-\\nman to work entirely separate or without one\\nbeing in tho way of the other, and removes\\nthe weight of both engine and boiler entirely\\nfrom the reaches, enabling them to bo made\\nlight 80 as to reduce the aggregate weight and\\ncostof the machine.

The ring within which the\\ncircular frame turns m.ay either be formed at\\none end of a carriage-frame, or the ring may\\nbe provided with short arms or shafts, by\\nwhich it may be attached to a carriage. When\\nthe ring forms part of a carriage-frame the\\ncarriage-frame may have inounted upon it the\\nair-surface condenser for condensing the ex-\\nhaust steam from the engine. The steering\\nor guiding of tbo engine is effected by turning\\nit in the ring which encircles it, and this may\\nbo effected by a worm and worm-wheel, or by\\nother arrangement of gearing.

JAMES S. FRENCH, Alexan-\\ndria, Va. Locomotive. Filed June 7,\\n1873. P_atented Nov. 4, 1873.\\nThis invention is an improvement upon the\\ndevice patented by James S. French, April 19,\\n1870, No. 102,107, which consisted in the em-\\nployment of grooved driving-wheels having\\nwedge-shaped grooves, upon locomotives, for\\nthe purpose of increasing adhesion to the track\\nwithout correspondingly increasing the weight\\nof the wheel or engine. My present improve-\\nment consists in adapting the pair of dri\\\\ing-\\nwheels thus grooved to be raised and lowered\\nat pleasure by the engineer; and my object in\\nthus constructing the locomotive is twofold,\\nviz: First, to enable the engineer to raise the\\ngrooved wheels out of the \\\\way when passing\\nswitches, frogs, or other obstructions, also\\nwhen passing short curves, so that a locomo-\\ntive can turn almost any curve, however short,\\nAvithout danger of running li om the track, or\\nof straining the wheels; secondly, to enable\\nhim to apply the grooved wheels to the track\\nat the inclines, and when great adhesion is re-\\nquired, but to hold them suspended out of con-\\ntact \\\\vith the rails at other times.\\nT he hoisting apparatus shown in Fig. 2 is\\nnot intended to represent the de\\\\ices which I\\nsltall employ in practical working locomotives,\\nbut only to show the principle of the inven-\\nfion, and one mode of carrying it into practice.\\nAnother mode is to secure an eccentrically-\\nslotted plate to each end of the shaft worked\\nby the lever, and attach a pin to the axle-box,\\nso as to project into or through the slot and\\nrise or fall as the lever is raised or depressed.\\nThe de\\\\ice is very simple and effective; and\\nthe wheels, whether raised up or pressed down,\\nmay be kept in place by a catch holding the\\nlover. If it be prefcired-to raise or depress\\nthe wheels by steam, then a small cylinder\\nni,^y be secured to the frame-work of tbe en-\\ngine, the piston-rod of which shall connect\\n\\\\vith the lever, and the valve of the cylinder\\nbe operated by a rod placed within easy reach\\nof the engineer. I do not, however, regard\\nthe means for hoisting as essential, but con-\\nsider myself at liberty to tise any practicable\\nmeans whatever without thereby departing\\nfrom the spirit of the invention. The amount\\nof power requii ed to raise and lower the wheels\\nwill be very small, and can be applied to great\\nadvantage, as- there is abundant room for lev-\\nerage. The handle of the working-lever should\\nalways be in the cab Avithin easy reach of\\nthe engineer. Tliis invention is particularly\\nadapted to narrow-gage railroads where the\\ngrades are liea\\\\ j^, the running-gear light, and\\nheavy locomotives are not practicable. On\\nsuch roads, the weight of the engine is not\\nsufficient to give it the requisite tractpn\\nl)0wer, which must be supplied by causing tlie\\nwheels to adhere to ^he track by mechanical\\nmeans. But this necessity for greater -adhe-\\nsion is not constant or uniform, and the ap-\\nparatus should be always under the complete\\ncontrol of the engineer, who should be able to\\napply it to any extent required, or dispense\\nwith it altogether, whenever and as long as\\nbe deems best. The invention herein described\\nis believed to answer all these requirements to\\nts complete an extent as is practicable. The\\n-cost of thus constructing a locomotive is little,\\nif any, more than that of constructing an old-\\nfashioned one of the same size. It requires\\n_iio additional central rail, and no new or pe-\\nculiar fonn of rails, but is adapted to any rail-\\nroad as now constnicted, and to any form or\\nsize of locomotive.\\n1.

Patented Feb. 8. 1876.\\nThe principal difficnlty in transmitting mo-\\ntion from an engine to the axles and tram-\\nwheels of a street -railroad car is this, that\\nthe several parts must have liberty to yield to\\na comparatively irregular aud modulating\\ntrack. The axles have latent play, and move\\nvertically and obliquely when passing- over\\nobstructions and defective tramways. In these\\nmovements they are independent of each\\nother and of the car-body to a limited extent.\\nWithout such flexibility in the ruiiuiog-gear\\na btreet-car wontd be constantly liable to be\\nthrown from the track. A rigid tra)iSmissioii\\nof power, as usual upou locomotives ami other\\nsteam vehicles, particularly when of approxi-\\nmately constant weight, is, therefore, imprac-\\nticable for street-cars, ami would subject the\\nTunning-gear, as well as the engine, with all in-\\ntermediate connections, to destructive strains.\\nThe first part of my invention relates to the\\ntransmission of tbe driving-power to the ran-\\nnittggear of a car in ,8ach manner that the\\ntisual and necessary play in every direotion\\ngiven to each car-axle independently is not\\ninterfered with Uy the driving power, and\\nvice versa, so that these irregul r movemeuta\\ndo not impede the normal action of the motor.\\nThe second part providesa means, named fehe\\nauxiliary driving-wheel, for obtaining adhe-\\nsion outside of tbe asoal tramways. This be-\\ncomes necessary on gradients when the rails\\nbecome slippery by mud, ice, or snow.\\nTbe third part provides for controlling this\\nauxiliary driving-wheel, or other supplement-\\nary means, for increasing the adhesion neces:\\nsary for propulsiou and retardation by steam\\nthroogh a special cylinder.\\nThe fourth part provides for controlling t^e\\naction of the auxiliary driving-wheel by a\\nfoot-motion.\\nIn using this auxiliary, driving- wheel it\\nis a necessary condition that its periphery roll\\nover its track in harmony with the advance of\\nthe tram-wheels, as otherwise ulther the one\\nor the other will have to slip, causing great\\nwaste of power and wear of rails and wheels.\\nSimply revolving tbe auxiliary driving-wheel\\nby a drag-link from the adjoining tri^m-wbeel,\\nor from a disk moving with tbe axle, wilt not\\nanswer, because the aaxiliary driving-wheel\\naud the tram-wbeel have ciifferent centers,\\nwhich iu this manner would cause accelerated\\naud retarded motion either in the periphery of\\nthe tram-wheels or. of the auxiliary driving-\\nwheel daring each revolution, accordiug to\\nthe eccentricity of the anxiliary driving-wheel,\\nand to an extent so great as to forbid giving\\nit motion in that manner.\\n1.

In the latter case an\\nengine can be propelled at greater speed than\\nin the former case; but where theroadishea\\\\ y\\nthe power must he increased, and to do this\\nthe speed must be proportionately lessened.\\nIn my Letters Patent No. 225,695, dated\\nMarch 23, 1880, I have shown roechauism\\nwhich to a certain extent answers these cop-\\nilitions, the arrangement beiug such that when\\nche ro:wl-ongine is backed it moves with less\\nspeed but greater power than when- moving\\nforward.\\nIn the present improvement, however, it\\nis my object to provide mechanism which,\\nwhether the engine is going forward or back-\\nward, will admit of its being propelled at vary-\\ning power and speed, at the will of the oper-\\nator.\\nThe nature of the improvement aud the man-\\nner in which the same is or may be carried\\ninto effect can best be explained and uader-\\nstood byreftjrence to the accompanying draw-\\nings, in which the same is represented in its\\npreferred ft rm.\\nThe combination of the double-tootheil bov-\\nel-wheet, the inclined shaft, the two pinions\\nmounted loosely thereon and engaging^aid\\nwheel, the clutch intermediate between sard\\njiinions, the clutch-operaling mechanism for\\nthrowing the clutch into engagement with\\ncither or out of engagement with both of said\\npinions at pleasure, the engine-shaft, and the\\nreversing gearing connee.ting said shaft with\\nthe incliiietl shaft, substnnti;dly as hereinbe-\\nfore set forth.\\n231,097.

Patented Sept. 21. 1880.\\nOar invention relates to improvements in\\nthe mechanism by jueaua of which the engine\\nis made self-propelling.\\nThe invention consists iu providing the hub\\nof the rear snpporting wheel or wheels with\\nau inwar^rlly-projecting flange, on which the\\ndriving gear-wheel is mounted.\\nIt also consists in i)rovid!ng a spring-con-\\nnection between the main engine-sliafc pro-\\npelling-gear, whereby the shock is taken up in\\npassing over rough groand, and a limited\\namount of motion is permitted in the engine-\\nshaft when starting, before the propelh ng-\\ngearing is brought into operation.\\nIt also consists in various devices and com-\\nbinations of devices, all of which will be here-\\ninafter fally described, and more definitely\\npointed out in the claims.\\nWe have applied our improvements to that\\nparticular class of self-propelling engines iu\\n\u00e2\u0096\u00a0which the rear trncJc-wheels are driven by an\\ninclined shaft at one side of the engine, ex-\\ntending from the main engine-shaft to the rear\\naxle or counter-shaft, when the latter is used,\\nalthough our improvements arc nob necessa-\\nrily limited to this particular kind of driving\\nluechanism, but are applicable to engines pro-\\nTiaed with propelfing-gear lilJerently con-\\nst \u00e2\u0080\u009eoted and arranged.\\nThe main features of the engine and pro-\\npelling mechanism above referred to are Vk^Al\\nknown, and will be referred to herein only for\\nthe purpose of clearly showing the construc-\\ntion and operation of our prcsont special im-\\nprovements.\\nlb has been found by experience that when\\ntraction-engines are run over a rough road or\\nfield there is danger of breaking the gearing\\nor some portion of the propelling mechanism\\nby the severe shock when striking or i assing\\nover an obstacle, and this difficulty is in-\\ncreased by the movement of the fly-wheel,\\nwhich is, of course, in motion when the propel-\\nling mechanism is in operation.\\nIt has also been found that in a fraction-en-\\ngine with a single crank and cylinder some\\nannoyance and delay are occasioned by stop-\\nping on the center; and also, the engine in\\nstarting has no chance to gain motion before\\nit commences to pull its load, but there is a\\ndead pull at the very start of the engine.\\nAU of these difficulties are obviated by the\\nspringattachmenb which we introduce between\\nthe enginc-shafb and the inclined shaft; for it\\nis evident that if when mo\\\\ing along the truck-\\nwheels strike an obstacle or drop into a rut\\nthere will be sufficient yielding iu the gearing\\nconnecting the engine-shaft and the inclined\\nshaft to prevent breakage,\\n1. lu a traction-engine, the combination,\\nwith the single-crank engine- shaft. the incline-\\nshaft, and gearing connecting the two, of a\\nspring attachment, forming part of the con-\\nnecting-gearing, and arranged and operating\\nto permit movement, to a limited extent, of\\nthe driving-shaft independently of the incline-\\nshaft, as and for the purposes hereinbefore set\\nforth.\\n2.

(No model.)\\nThe usual mode of steering road-engines\\nand other analogous vehicles is to arrange the,\\nfront axle upon a vertical pivot and connect\\nthe axle ou each side of its pivot with steer-\\ning dev ces, which, by changing the angular\\nposition of the axle, cause the engine to torn\\nin one direction or the other, as the case may\\nbe. When, however, such axle is connected\\nto its steering-gear by an unyielding connec-\\ntion, certain diflBculties are involved, as fol-\\nlows If one of the wheels of this axle strikes\\na stone or other obstruction, the shock has a\\ntendency to deflect the axle, and a violent\\nstrain is brought upon the connection of the\\nsteering-gear, which is likely to damage them\\nif they are locked in position, and if they are\\nnot locked and the gear turns, it produces a\\npermanent change iu the position of the axle,\\nand the engine runs ont of its path.\\nMy invention consists in combining the piv-\\noted front axle and the positively-acting steer-\\ning-gear shaft by a connection which makes the\\nstrain of the steering-gear on the axle an elas-\\ntic one, and whereby, also, in the eventof oue\\nof the wheels striking a stone or obstruction,\\nthe shock is taken up and not allowed to in-\\njuriously aflFect the steering-gear, and the axle\\nis immediately restored to its former true posi-\\ntion for running iu a straight line filer it\\npasses such obstruction.\\nIn carrying out my invention I may employ\\na variety of means, all showing modified forms\\nof the same general inventiou, and all produc-\\ning the same result.\\ni am aware that the single steering-wheel of\\na velocipede has been provided with springs\\nwhich tend to hold it in the normal plane tor\\nadvance movement, and T therefore ODly claim\\nthe pivoted front axle of a road-engine as sus-\\ntained upon two wheels when combined with\\nthe positively- acting steering-gear shaft of a\\nroad-engine by the devices described.\\n1.

CNo model.\\nThe invention relates to an improvement in\\ntraction-engines, and has for its object the ob-\\nviation of certain defects which bavo hereto-\\nfore existed in engines of this class. The first\\nof these objects relates to the constraction of\\ntraction- wheels; and it consists in providing\\nthe same with segmental tread-blocks which\\nmay bo removed and replaced at will, and which\\nshall have projections of differentsizes, accord-\\ning to the nature of the ground to be traversed,\\nwhereby the wheels are supplied with what\\nare known as iuterchaogeable tread-blocks.\\nIn softer sandysoil we shall employ the Ircad-\\nblocks having the larger projections, aud in\\npassing over hard or firm ground we shall use\\nthe tread-blocks having thesmallerprojections.\\nThus weareenabled to cause theengiue to travel\\nover soils of various nature without difficulty.\\nIn thedrawings we illnstrate various means of\\nforraiog the traction- wheels to accomplish this\\nobject.\\nHeretofore the traction -wheels of engines\\nhave been constructed with projections on their\\nperiphery but these projections have been all\\nof uniform heighf, and not made so as to be\\nreadily interchangeable. Thus the engine was\\nbnly provided with one set of projections,\\nwhether traveling over hard or soft soil.\\nIt is well known that engines of the class\\nto which the invention relates are with diffi-\\nculty made to pass over soft soil without the\\naid of teams in addition to their own motive\\npower, the difficulty principally arising from\\nthe fact that in the effort to drive the engine\\nahead the craction-wheels, instead of moviug\\non, will simply rotate on their axles. Thus in\\nthis case it is evident that tread-blocks having\\nlarger projections are necessary, whereaz\\nshould these blocks having the larger projec-\\ntions be continnouBly employed they wonld,\\nwhen the engine is passing over firm .ground,\\ncause the machine to jar and probably to be\\nserionsly injured. It will be seen, therefore,\\nthat the employment of interchane;eable tread-\\nbTocks having projections of vat-ious sizes is\\nextremely desirable, aud is quite necessary\\nfor an engine of perfect construction.

(No model.)\\nIn the use of traction or road engines it is\\nvery desirableto have it geared so that it can\\noperate with great power and little speed, or\\ncan be run at a higher speed when not much\\npower is required. Thus, for instance, in trav-\\neling in onedirection the engine may be loaded,\\nand when returning from its destination it\\nmay be unloaded. ^In the first instance it\\nshould be geared for power, and in the latter,\\nto economize time, it may be geared for speed.\\nAgain, some parts of the road may be heavy\\nand the rest good, and iusnch case an adapta-\\ntion may be made of the gearing to suit these\\ncircumstances.\\nOur invention consififs In the combination,\\nwith the two wheels of a traction-engine, of a\\ncompensatiug-gear which derives motion from\\nthe driving machinery and transmits it inde-\\npendently to each of the two wheels, whereby\\neither or both wheels inay be driven, a lock-\\ning mechanism for holding rigid one of the\\nwheels of the compensating-gears which trans-\\nmit motion to one of ^id traction-wheels, and\\nan adjustment whereby that traction -wheel\\nmay be released and allowed to run freely or\\npassively independent of its driving mechan-\\nism, whereby the value of a compensating-\\neear in this class of machines is preserved for\\ntnruiug corners, c., and whereby, also, the\\ndesired result of attaining two speeds for the\\ntraction-engine may be made available with\\nvery litile addition to tbe ordinary mechan-\\nism.\\nIn. defining the scope of our invention with\\ngreater clearness, we would state that we are\\naware of the English Patent No. 134 of 1880,\\nin which is shown aveloci^ ede having a triple\\narrangement of bevel gears and locking a\\nclutch device for giving two speeds to. the\\nwheel from thesimple revolution of thecrank-\\nshaft. The geiieric principle involved here is\\nsimilar to that employed by us; but our or-\\nganization differs therefrom essentially iu the\\nfollowing respects: Thecompensating-gearas\\nemployed by us always coacts with two driv-\\niug-wheela, and has two fonctions: first, that\\nof imparting independent motion to both\\nwheels to permit the macliuo to turn corners;\\nand, secondly, in giving the tw;o speeds, for\\nwhich purpose it is necessary in our organiza-\\ntion to make two adjustments qamely, to\\nlock one of the compeusating-gears, and then\\nunlock the traction- wheel which is tributary\\nto that gear. In the English patent the or-\\nganization disclosed shows bnt one wheel, and\\nhence no such double function exists, as in our\\ninvention. While, therefore, we do not claim,\\nbroadly, the principle involved for imparting\\ntwo speeds to a running- wheel, we are not\\naware that said jiriuciple has been applied to\\nthe two wheels of^ traction-engine for accom-\\nplishing the two purposes aimed at by na, in\\nwhich connection the compensating-gear co-\\nacts with both traction- wheels, and a doable\\nadjustment istec[uired fortbe increased speed.\\nWhat we claim is\\n1. In a traction-engine, the combination,\\nwith its two traction- wheels, of a compensat-\\ning-gear for dividing and transmitting the\\npower of the engine independently to each of\\nthe two traction- wheels, a locking device for\\nholding one of the compensating-gears, and a\\nreleasing mechanism for disconnecting the\\ntraction- wheel tributary to that gear and per-\\nmitting it to rnn passively, whereby the other\\ntraction -wheel is made, to double its speed,\\nsubstantially as set forth.\\n2.

In other words, said idle-\\npinion, when not communicating effective\\npower in the train, has been so located andar-\\nranged in the ti-ainthatit has been necessarily\\nrotated upon its bearing, and the result has\\nboon that frequently it, with the adjacent bear-\\nings, beconjcs .eated to such a degree as to be\\nbound to its shaft and become an active cle-\\nment in protlucing the same result as if it were\\nintentionaUy thro\\\\vn into gear with the re-\\nnminingelementsof the train. Fnrthermore,\\nin the arrangement of gearing of ti action-en-\\ngines heretofore employed, iusnflicient atten-\\ntion lias been given to the aptness of the\\nsnmllcr pinion to creep upon the larger and\\ntend to lift the forward end of the boiler, or^,\\nat leastjsnbjectthe same at those points where\\nIhe motor and adjacent mechanism are se-\\ncured thereto to undue strain, and this espe-\\ncially when the ti-action devices are subjected\\nto gieat or sadden exertions.\\nWhen the anotor is operating in traction,\\nand a sudden exei tion of power is required to\\novercome an obstmction on the track, or wlien\\nascending a steep gi-ade or drawing a heavy\\nload, and a continuous exertion of great pow-\\ner is reqnired, and when, under any circum-\\nstjinceii, Iiesvvy work in ti-action is being a*-\\ncomplifihetl, there isa tendency of the smaller\\npinion on the erank-shaft to creep upon or\\nover the laigor gear on tbe con ntei -shaft, and\\na similar tendency of the smaller pinion on\\nIhe countershaft to cree] on the larger geat\\nof the ti-action wliecl, so that in frequent\\ncases tlie front end of the boiler, with its\\ntruck, is Iiftc\u00c2\u00abl bodily from the ground, the\\nentire apjiamtus pivoting upon the traction-\\naxle. At such times it is evidentthat the en-\\ntire power exerted is expended on the boiler\\nat tlic point of attachment of the saddles, and\\nwithout the tie-lmlts described, or the equiva-\\nlent jneans, injury to the most essential cle-\\nment of tJio machine occurs, and tlic same ef-\\nfect of lieavy vork is pi-esent, even when not\\ndisplayed by such clear evidences a-s above\\ndescribed. In other words, as heretoforfrcon-\\nstnicted, too slight attention has l een given to\\nthe fa ^t of the constant and great strain un-\\nnecessarily expended upon (he boiler. This\\nHtrain is exerted in twodirections: First, when\\nworking at ordinary pressure on level ground,\\nthe strain isanbstimtially horizontal that is,\\nequally distribnted through all connecting\\nraechanismj and, second, when the work,\\npressure, and exei tion fti*eincreased and creep-\\ning begins, the direction of strain is at the\\nfront. Torsionalexertion intheconnter-shaft\\nis commnnlcated to the bearings and their\\nsupports, and must be successfully resisted in\\nan opposite direction, and thus, in the first in-\\nstance, the horizontal tie-rods, and, in the sec-\\nond, fhe inclined tie-rods, effect the designctt\\npurpose.\\nAnother of the purposes of my invention is\\nto adapt the machine to meet the changeable\\nrequirements as to the amount of power re-\\nquired when In ti-action, and incidentally pro-\\nvide adaiitability to local work, Wlien in\\ntraction.circnmstanc^smay permit of increase\\nof speed. and decrease of power, or may re-\\nquire the opposite.

I thus do away with slow and\\ntiresome means now in use for guiding traction-\\nengines where a wheel or crank has to be\\nturned by hand to turn the front axle-tree. A\\nsuch turning of the axle-tree requires great\\npower, the hand-wheel has to be so geared\\ntherewith as to turn it very slowly and by a\\ngreat number of revolutions. With my power\\napparatus a simple shifting of the lever is all\\nthat is necessary. Too great cramping of the\\nfront wheels by this power apparatus is pre-\\nvented by the stops at the ends of the rack and\\nthe spring teeth, Wheu the rack-moving pin-\\nion strikes tJie concave inner face of one of\\nthese stops,it may continue to revolve without\\nstrain upon the ^ack or liability to breakage,\\nbecause the spring-teeth at the end of the se-\\nries of rack-teeth will yield readily to allow\\nsuch revolution.\\nTo prevent strain on the frame of the en-\\ngine and the supporting-bracket for the seg-\\nmental rack, as the engine is driven over nu\\neven ground, space is left between the rear\\nlace of the rack and the bracket, asshown, and\\nhe groove which receives the curved rib on\\n(he bottom of said rack is made larger than\\nthe rib, so as not to fit it closely.\\nThe plane of the rack -supporting surface of\\nthe bracket^ asshown, is parallel to that of the\\nteeth on the pinion, so that therack in its play\\nbackward and forward will remain in mesh\\nwith such teeth.\\n1.

It has for a further object to provide\\na strong changeable gearing, whereby a^ast\\nor slow motion can be attained, as desired.\\njMost traction-engines have, heretofore been\\nguided by turning the front- wheels, aud when\\nused for heavy hauling or plowing, as with\\ngang-plows, the action of the engine has a\\ntendency to lift the forward portion, leaving\\nlittle weight on the front wheels, and often\\nraising them from the ground; and when the\\nfront wheels are turned for the purpose of\\nguiding there is riot sufficient weight to make\\nUiem take hold ofthe ground and turn theen--\\ngine, and it frequently happens that the front\\nwheels will turn at quite an angle withoiit af-\\nfecting the course. Tbe harder the work to\\nbe done the greater this tendency to lift the\\nforward wheels. This trouble is particularly\\nnoticeable in engines used for plowing. If one\\nof the outside plows of a gang happens to\\nstrike an obstruction, it will often i ull the en-\\ngine out of its course.\\nThese difficulties are all overcome by my\\nimprovements, which consist essentially, in\\nguiding the engine entirely by the driving-\\nwheels, suitable gearing being used whereby\\nthe driving-wheels can be rotated both to-\\ngether or separately. When rotated sepa-\\nrately, the still wheel acts as a pivot around\\nwhich the engine is turned. The engine can\\nthus be turned end for end within its own\\nlength. The wheels always have sufficient\\nweight upon them to insure their taking hold\\nof the ground, no matter how hard the work to\\nbe done, and the engineer performs no manual\\nlabor omer tnau to inovesnitable levers, which\\nthrow either wheel in or out of gear, the space,\\ntime, and labor required in turning being re-\\nduced to the miniuHim.

(No model.)\\nPatented in England July 30, 1884, No.\\n10.780.\\nThis invention has for Its object improve\\nments in the locking and driving gear of trac\\ntion-engines, steam-plow engines, and other\\nengines of a MkQ nature. In an arrangemenr\\nknown as Whittingham sgear the leading\\nwheels of a traction-engine are driven withonl\\ninterfering with the locking of the axle. The\\naile is surrounded by a pair of rings and the\\nparts are connected by gimbal-joints. The\\nenter ring is supported upon rollers, and the\\npower to drive the arie is applied to it. Thus\\nwhile the axle is free to incline to accommo-\\ndate itself either to the inequalities of the\\nroad or to the steerage of the engine, the axle\\nis compelled by the driving-gear to rotate con-\\ntinuously. In Whittingham s arrangement,\\nhowever, the two leading wheels are, if not\\nfast upon the axle, driven by ratchet or clutch\\narrangements, and consequently must, while\\njperating as driving-wheels, rotate at the same\\nspeed. The present invention provides tliat\\nthe two wheels on the fore axle may, while\\ndriving, rotate at different speeds, by whicb\\nthe steerage of the engine and its passage\\naround curvesisgreaay facilitated. We effect\\nthis by connecting the inner ring of the gim-\\nbal-joint with a tube surrounding 1*e axle\\nand carryi ng a frame in \u00e2\u0096\u00a0which beveled pinions\\nupon stud-axes are mounted. These axes are\\nradial to the axle, and the pinions which they\\ncarry gear with two beveled wheels concentric\\nwith the axle ard one on either side of them.\\nOne of the beveled wheels is fixed to one or\\nthe road-wheels, which revolves loose on the\\naxle, and the other beveled wheel is fixed to\\nthe axle. The axle passes from side to side of\\nthe engine through the driving-tube, and has\\none of the road-wheels fast upon it. The ro-\\ntation of the beveled pinions then allow^ of\\nthe road-wheels to travel at different rates,\\n^nd to accommodate themselves to the steer-\\nage. The arrangement may be modified by\\nmounting the beveled pinions upon studs ra-\\ndiating from the axle itself at the center there-\\nto. The same studs then serve as the pivots\\nconnecting the axle with the inner ring of the\\ngimbal. TheSe pinions engage with other\\nbeveled pinions formed or fixed at the inner\\nends of tubes surrounding the axle. These\\ntubes pass right and left of the engine, and\\nUpon them the two road -wheels are fixed.\\nThe outer ring of the gimbal has spur-teeth\\nfapon it, and is driven by a pinion upon a\\nhorizontal transverse axis beneath the smoke-\\nbox of the engine. In some cases, in place of\\nsupporting the outer ring of the gimbal upon\\nroUe.rs, we cause it to revolveas an axis within\\nabeariug of large dimensions beneath the boil\\ner of the engine at the smoke-box end. The\\nring then rests upon brasses, with vhich this\\nbearing is bushed.

CNo model.)\\nMuch trouble has been experienced in u icg\\ntraction-engines of this cla% as heretofore\\n(uinstnicted from the fact that if the machine\\nshould be in motion under sach circunu^tuuces\\nas to necessitate the speedy stopping of _the\\ntraction -wheels or the reversing of their mo-\\ntion it has beec impossible to do so. It is\\npractically impossible to overcome the mo-\\nmentum of the machine by reversing the en-\\ngine under some circamstances, as when going\\ndown hill rapidly. Thefrictiou-brakesof the\\ncommon character applied to the ground-\\nwheels under such circumstances are practi-\\ncally worthless. With the devices which I\\nhave shown and described I can bring to bear\\nat any instant a powerfal braking action upon\\nthe traction devices directly. This can be\\ndone in the following manner: If it be re-\\nquired to instantly stop or reverse the engine,\\nit can be effected by first throwing out the\\nfriction-coue which is in engagement andthen\\nbringing into engagement the opposing clutch,\\neither gradually or quickly. If gradually.the\\nopposing clntch-faces become powerful brakes,\\nthe frictional resistance of which is felt by the\\ntraction -wheels, and by which said wheels\\ncan be brought to rest; or before coming to\\nperfect rest a complete contac\u00c2\u00a3 of the friction-\\nla ^es may beproduced, which will result in a\\nreversing of the motion of the traction-wheels,\\nif such reversing is required. It will be seen\\nthat this throwing out of one clutch and\\nbringing in the other, so asJ:o act first as a\\nbrake and then act jo^reveree the wheels, is\\ndone by rotating the screw-shaft P continu-\\nously in one direction, ^or this purpose the\\nscrew- Aaft is very. efScient as by its use the\\ncloseness of the opposing faces can be very\\ndelicately adjusted, so that the requisite\\namount of friction can be prodoced, as above\\nstated, and the opposing faces can be held\\nrigidly and without wavering at the desired\\ndistance.\\nI am aware that friction-clutches have been\\nused upon engine-shafts for the purpose of\\ntransmitting motion, and for such purposes\\nand in such places I do not claim them; but\\nI am not aware that friction-clutches of sub-\\nstantially the character shown ha^ e been ar-\\nranged as set forth for braking the moment-\\num of the engine and reversing the motion of\\nthe traction- wheels.\\n1.

Toad engines generally, is pacticnlarly ap-\\nplicable to a traction or road engine adapted\\nfor use upon ice roads in tlielnniber regions as\\na means for drawing sleds that are heavily\\nloaded with logs.-\\nThe objects of my invention arc, first, to\\ncombine with the enginetrnck a propelling\\nattachment operated from the eugiiic by an\\nendless-ehain belt, which, when driven in a\\ndirection to caase the propelling attachment\\nto advance and push forward theengine-trnclc,\\nshall also serve as a means for exerting upon\\nthe propelling attiichmentacontinnonsdown-\\nw. ^rd poll or tension in a manner to increase\\nilie traction of the same proportionally to\\nI he weight and resistance of the loaded eugi nc-\\ntrack and tne motive force applied to drive\\nthe endless chain belt; secondly, to attain a\\nlike resnlt when the chain is driven in a di-\\nrection to cause the propelling attachment to\\ndraw the engine-tmck backward; thirdly, to\\natilize the weight and resistance of one oi\\nmore sleds or other like vehicles attached to\\nand drawn by the propelling attachment as a\\nmeans for increasing the traction of the wheels\\nof the latter; fonrthly, to permit in the start-\\ning ap of the engine a limited initial action\\nthereof in advance of the transmission of\\npower therefrom to a driving-shaft employed\\nas a member of a power-transmitting mechan-\\nism that is actuated from the engine, whereby\\nthe engine may be permitted to get underway\\nbefore its full power is exerted to drive the\\npower transmitting mechanism; fifthly, to\\nprovide simple andefQcient means for pre-\\nventing the endless-chain belt that is em-\\nployed to drive the propelling attachment\\nfrom- slipping or.working sidewise from off its\\nsprockets; sixthly, to utilize exhaust or waste\\nsteam from the engine as a means for melting\\ndown rough ice, and for supplying water to\\nform new ice, serving to kef p an ice road in\\nconstant repair; and, finally, to provide cer-\\ntain novel and improved details tending to\\npromote the general efSciency of the appara-\\ntns. as hereinafter set forth.\\nIn carrying out my invention the truck-\\nframe which supports the engine is mounted\\n\u00e2\u0080\u00a2upon wheels or runners, so that it may he\\npushed or drawn iilong the rsad. The pro-\\npelling attachment is provided with traction-\\nwheels, and is arranged opposite one end of\\nthe engine-truck, its point of location being\\nmore desii ohly iu rear of the engine truck, in\\nwhich case ft is connected with the forward\\nend portion of the engine truck by means of\\nhorizontally-arranged arms, that are ext\u00c2\u00abnded\\nforward from the axle of said traction-wheels,\\nand at their forward ends jointed to the en-\\ngine-truck. By nieans of said arms the en-\\ngine-truck can be pushed forward or drawn\\nback, according to the direction in which the\\ntraction-wheels are revolved.\\nThetraotion-wheclsotthepropellingattaoh-\\nmeiit are driven from the engine by means of\\nan endless -chain belt, serving to connect a\\nsprocketupontheengioe-truck with asprdcket\\nupon the axle of the said traction-wheels, the\\nsprocket on the engine-truck being included\\nin a poster-transmitting device that is driven\\nfrom the engine. That portion of the chain\\nwhich passes from the highest portion of the\\nsprocket of the propelling attachment to the\\nhighest portion of the sprocket upon the en-\\ngine-truck inclines downwardly from the\\nformer to the latter, this inclination of said\\nportion of the chain being desirably attained\\nby making the sprocket of the propelling at-\\ntachment the larger of the two and mounting\\nit upon the traction-wheel axle, which is set\\nsomewhat higher than the axle of the engine-\\ntruck sprocket. Said arrangement permits\\nthe chain -to exert upon the sprocket of the\\npropelling attachmentrand consequently upon\\nthe traction wheels, a downward pull when\\nthe chain is driven in a direction to cause the\\npropelling attachment to posh the engine-\\ntruck forward, in which way the traction of\\nthe wheels of the propelling attachment will\\nbe increased proportionally to the motive,\\npower and the weight and resistance of the\\nengine-truck.\\nThe axle of the propelling attachraeat car-\\nries a tilting support extending both forward\\nfrom and to the rear of the axle.

THOMAS J. FRAZIER, Ly-\\nons, la. Steam Motor. FiledSept. 27,\\n1888. Patented Aug. 6, 1889. Serial No.\\n286,616. (No model.)\\nMy invention has reference to certain im-\\nprovements in steam-motoi-s, and lias more\\nspecial reference to mechanism for applying\\ntlie powertothe driving-wheels, and to mech-\\nanism for readily guiding the machine or\\nchanging its direction.\\nMy invention is adapted for use as a draft\\npower generally,and can be readily attached\\nto any sort of land conveyance. It is more\\nespecially applicable, however, as a means of\\ndrawing a series of plows, and is shown In\\nthe drawings as applied to that purpose. 1 lie\\npower is applied to the upper portion of the\\nfront carrying-wheels, which latter are also\\nthe driving-wheels. By this means great lever-\\nage is obtained upon said driving-wheels, and\\nthe latter can be rotated with a proportion-\\nately less expense for power. The power is\\ncommunicated from the twin piston-rods to\\nthe driving-wheels through the medium of\\nthe pinion rigidly seated on the transverse\\ndriving-shaft, which pinion intermeshcs with\\na gear, either i utcrnal or external, placed upon\\nthe rim of the driving-wheels. In this con-\\n.struction the ground or tread of the wheeW\\nfurnishes a fulcrum, the cari-j tng-axle repre-\\nsdits the weight to be moved, and the driving-\\npinion aforesaid is located at wliat might be\\nteijnod the power end of the IcvciiifToidod\\nby the carrying-wheel. The application of\\n(he po.wer to the driving-wheels, therefore, at\\nor near the top of the latter, has a lever ad-\\nvantage upon the weight to be moved.\\nOne objection to many of the steam-motort\\nin use is the difficulty or inconvenience of\\nguiding, tnrninp,and handlingthe same. To\\novercome these I have seated the steam-gen\\nerator and engine upon the front frame and\\npivoted the latter centrally in the forward\\nend of the reach which underlies said fionl\\nframe. It is feasible, therefore, lo turn the\\nfront frame upon its forward central pivot\\naforesaid at almost a right angle wilh the\\nresidue or rear portion of the machine, there\\nbeing nothing to impede the turning of eithei\\nof the front cai rying-wheels backward and\\nin front of the rear frame until the central\\nreach aforesaid is met. This permits the ma-\\nehine to be turned in a comparatively small\\narea, and to further expedite the change of\\ndirection aforesaid, whore an unusually short\\nturn is desired, the rear carrying-wheels are\\nalso centrally pivoted in their common axle\\nand adapted to have llieir direction changed\\nreversely to that of the front wheels,thereby\\ncarrying the rcai part of the frame circularly\\nin the direction opposite to that taken by the\\nfront wheels, the effect being to simultane-\\nously twist the respective ends of the entire\\nframe in opposite directions from tlie center\\nthereof.\\nI 1.

CNo model.-)\\nMy invention relates to a construction of\\ntractor or traction-engine involving the fea-\\nture of an endless belt or track which passes\\nabout the supporting-wheels, and which is so\\noperated therefrom that, conjointly with the\\nadvancement of the wheels, a broad track\\nwill be laid for them to roll upon.\\nThe principal object of my invention is to\\nrender a tractor of such viature thoroughly\\npractical and highly eflieieut as a machine\\nfor service upon all occasions involving tho\\ndesirability of means for interposing between\\nthe wheels and the ground such extended\\narea of bearing-surface as shall avoid the\\nmiring or sinking of the wheels into the earth,\\na service which I particularly have in view\\nbeing that of plowing and otherwise cultivat-\\ning the soil.\\nIn traveling over a field for the purpose of\\nplowing or cultivating the same the condition\\nof the soil will practically necessitate not\\nonly the use of an endless track for the wheels\\nto roU upon, but also th e oiuployment of means\\nfor so trussing or braci ng such portions of the\\nendless track as may he between the front\\nand rear wheels as to cause the weight to be\\ndistributed throughout said portion of the\\ntrack, which will thereupon provide a largo\\narea of .surface arranged to bear npon the\\nground and sustain the weight throughout its\\nentire area. Inplowingorcultivatingafield,\\nhowever, it will almost invariably be found\\nto present many obstructions other than soft-\\nness of soil to the advancement of the ma-\\nchine, euch obstructions being the furrows,\\nridges, and other irregularities of surface com-\\nmonly incident to fields, and heuce without\\nsome co-operating means for permitting tho\\nmachine to be driven over such obstructioiiS\\nuy a reasonable application of power the ma-\\nchine will be practically useless. In order to\\novercome such obstructions, the-avoidance of\\n.slip on the part of the wheels is as necessary\\nas the employment of a truss for bracing the\\ntrack, and in this connection the provision of\\nmeans for accommodating the trussed track\\nto the oustruction over which it is to pass, so\\nas to avoid loss of power and relieve the steer-\\ning-wheels from unnecessary weight, while\\nthe traction device is surmounting or climb-\\ning over the obstruction, is just as much a\\nnecessity as the employment of means, as\\naforesaid, for trussing the track and prevent\\ning slip on the part of the wheels. To the at\\ntainment; therefore, of apractically-succcssful\\ntractor Involving the foregoing essential capa-\\nbilities, I provide a tractor or traction-engine\\ncomprising an endless trussed belt or track,\\nwhich is gear-connected with and driven from\\none or more of the main supporting-wheels,\\nand a jointed frame adapted to provide both a\\nrocking truck, which travels upon the end-\\nless trussed track, and a frame portion, which\\nis hinged to and in part supported from the\\nrocking truck, by which arrangement the\\nlower leaf of the track, which will at all times\\nbe straight and rigid as aaainst upward press-\\nure, may by the rocking action of the truck\\nadapt itself to the inclination of the ridge or\\nf\u00c2\u00abrrow over which it is to climb, and in thus\\nclimbing over a ridge in the field the track\\nwill adapt itself to the inequalities of surface,\\nand the steering-wheels of the frame, to which\\nthe track is hinged, will bo relieved of extra\\nweight, while at the same time the full power\\nof the traction device will be utiUzed as a pro-\\npelling agent The engine is carried by the\\nrocking tmck, while the plows or other de-\\nvices that are to be drawn are attached t\u00c2\u00ab the\\nframe portion, which is connected witTi the\\nrocking truck by a rocking j^oini^ and which\\nmay hereinafter be termed the main frame\\nin contradistinction to the rocking truck\\nframe. The main frame is provided with one\\nor more steering-wheels, and itmay also carry\\nthe boiler-furnace and boiler. The water-tank\\ncould of course be arranged upon the main\\nframe, which carries the boiler-fnrnaee and\\nboiler; but as a further feature of improve-\\nment the water-tank is arranged within the\\nspace that is bounded by the endless track,\\nthe object of this disposition of the water-\\ntank being to permit the trussed track to sus-\\ntain its weight and to dispose of it in an ex-\\nceedingly convenientway. The endless track\\ncan be trussed by various constructions of\\ntruss, and the gear-connection between one or\\nmore of the roeking-truek wheelsand the end-\\nless track can be eifected in any suitable way\\nPowerfrom the engine canbo supplied to one\\nor more of the engine-truck wheels or one or\\nmore of the axles through the medium of\\nchain or wheel gearing, and as a further fea-\\nture of improvement steam-connection be-\\ntween the boiler and engine and water-con-\\nnection between the tank and the boiler can\\nbe made through the rocking joints Of the\\njointed frame.\\n1.

ANSON HIRST, Sharpsville,\\nPa. Apparatus for Steering Wheeled\\nVehicles. Filed Oct. 4, 1888. Patented\\nNov. 4, 1890. Serial No. 287,193. (Nc\\nmodel.)\\nMy invention relates to appliances for guid-\\ning and steering wheeled vehicles other than\\nthose described distinctively as railway or\\ntramway vehicles.\\nA four-wheeled vehicle, road- wagon, or car-\\nriage drawn by animal-power has, ordinarily,\\ntwo axles of equal length, each carried by two\\nwheels oneat either end thereof the hind\\naxle being fixed across the frame of the ve-\\nhicle and the forward axle pivoted midway\\nof its length. The vehicle is guided or steered\\nin its travel by means of a pair of shafts ore\\npole suitably attached to the forward axle,\\nwhereby said axle is held square across the\\nbody of the vehicle, or on occasion is hori-\\nzontally swiveled, with the effect of directing\\nthe forward wheels therewith associated to\\nthe right or left, as need be. There are car-\\nriages as, for instance, some hook-and-Ind-\\nder trucks in which the forward axle is piv-\\noted and operated as in the above-mentioned\\nvehicles, and the hind axle is likewise piv-\\noted, and is governed and swiveled by means\\nof special appliances to the end that the\\nhinder part of the truck may be made to\\ntravel in a curve exteriorto one desoribed by\\nthe forward wheels, and to otherwise deviate\\nfrom the course of the forward wheels, With\\na wheeled vehicle guided orstcered by means\\nof a swiveling axle having a carrying-wheel\\nat each extremity, when one wheel meets an\\nobstruction from which the other is free the\\npole or equivalent steering-lever attached to\\nthe said axle is wrenched to the side on which\\nthe obstruction is. When a heavily-loaded\\nwagon travels on a rough road or pavement,\\nthe lateral vibrations of thepoleare constant\\nand violent. With a view to moderating vi-\\nbrations of this sort, as well as to effect some\\nother desirable results, the forward axle of\\nsome heavy four-wheeled cabs and like ve-\\nhicles is made much shorter than the hinder\\none, and in four-wheeled baggage-crates and\\nwarehouse-trucks this mode of construction,\\nthe utility of which in the direction specified\\nis sufficiently obvious, is quite generally fol-\\nlowed; and the shortening of a forward axlci\\nhas been carried to its ultiniate result in the\\nconstruction of certain light road-vehicles, as\\nwell as in some warehouse-trucks and similar\\ncarriages heretofore in use, in which the\\nhinder end of the vehicle is carried by a fixed\\naxl^, as in ordinary four-wheeled vehicles,\\nwhile the forward end of the vehicle is car-\\nried by one wheel, commonly situate midway\\nof the width of the vehicle and mounted in a\\nyoke or bifurcated pedestal. It is in some\\ncases, however, mounted on a horizontal jour-\\nnal-pin ha ving one free end. This wheel is\\nnot necessarily set midway of the width of\\nthe carriage. It may stand on the line of one\\nside of the carriage. Such wheel is held in\\na vertical plane ordinarily by means of a per-\\npendicular (but sometimes inclined) spindle\\nworking in a long bearing fixed in the frame\\nof the vehicle, and when so mounted the wheel\\nis commonly placed beneath the frame of the\\nvehicle, and its diameter proportionate to that\\nof the associated hind wheels is materially\\nless than that of a fore wheel to a hind\\nwheel in an ordinary four-wheeled wagon. By\\nuse of a goose-neck projecting forward be-\\nyond and above the vehicle-frame and carry-\\ning the bearings of such spindle an increase\\nof diameter of such wheel is rendered practi-\\ncable. For a road-wagon a wheel thus mount-\\ned if placed beneath the platform of the ve-\\nhicle is unduly small. The introduction of\\nthe goose-neck device entails increase (ordi-\\nnarily seriously objectionable) of total length\\nof vehicle, and in any case the vertical spin-\\ndle, necessarily long, and its unavoidable ac-\\ncompaniments very objectionably occupy\\nspace and dominate construction. Such wheel\\nmounted on a spindle is commonly swiveled\\nby means of a pole or tongue suitably bi-\\nfurcated to embrace or yoke the wheel, each\\narm of the yoke so formed being connects\\nwith the corresponding side of the pedestal-\\nyoke or taking hold on the corresponding end\\nof the axle of the wheel. In some vehicles\\nthe single wheel in question has been made\\n\u00e2\u0096\u00a0with an elongated hub, like that of the ordi-\\nnary wheelbarrow-wheel, which hub by suit-\\nble axle-pins has been joumaled beneath a\\nflat ring operating in associaUon with an op-\\nposed superior ring as the fifth-wheel, so\\ncalled, of ordinary four-wheeled vehicles, and\\nin some road-vehicles the single wheel thus\\nmounted has been swiveled and the vehicle\\nguided or steered by means of a pair of shafts\\n(and possibly in some instances by means of\\na pole) attached and used as and for the\\npurposes for which such appliances are at-\\ntached and used in ordinary four-wheeled ve-\\nhicles, and I have in actual practice used ir\\na self-propelling road-vehicle a single wheel\\nof my own devising, having a distinctively\\nlong hub or axle, like that of a wheelbar-\\nrow-wheel, operating in the manner above de-\\nscribed in association with a fiftlt-wheel or\\ntraversing-oircle;butforswivelingthis wheel,\\nand thereby guiding or steering the vehicle,\\nI employed a bifurcated lever taking hold of\\nthe ends, respectively, of the axle of the wheel\\nor of the corresponding sides of the ring to\\nwhich the wheel was attached and extending\\nback into the vehicle. I f on nd the traversing\\ncircle device effective in the direction of hold-\\ning the wheel in a vertical plane; but the fric-\\ntion of the rings aforesaid was so great as to\\nmake the manipulation of the steering-lever\\nexcessively laborious and a proper operation\\nof it sometimes entirely impracticable.\\nWhile, as before stated, the forward end of\\na light road- vehicle has been heretofore car-\\nried by a single wheel, feerving also as a steer-\\ning-wheel, I do not know that any apparatus\\nhas heretofore been devised -whereby a-pon-", "height": "3509", "width": "2492", "jp2-path": "digestofunitedst00alle_0660.jp2"}, "649": {"fulltext": "TRACTION ENGINES.\\n639\\nderoTB vehicle, like a oad-engine, may be\\neiTectivQly steered by a single wheel, used\\nalso to ca -y one end of such vehicle.\\nIn self propelling vehicles, as road-en-\\ngines or traction-engines, traveling on\\ncommon roads, the forward end of the veiii-\\nole has been heretofore carried by two wheels\\nworking ol a pivoted cross-axle, as in an or-\\ndinary road-wagon. In guiding and steering\\nthe vehicle said axle is Iield and on occasion\\nswiveled by means of a chain, which, being\\nwoand on a shaft lying square across the\\n^rame of the vehicle in the* rear of the pivot\\nof the axle, has each of its ends connected\\n\u00e2\u0096\u00a0iVith the corresponding arm of the axle.\\nThis shaft being made to revolve, one part of\\nthe chain is wound onto the shaft, drawing\\nthe corresponding arm of the axle toward the\\nshaft, while by reciprocation the other part of\\ntheehain is paid off the shaft, proportionately\\nreleasing the arm oftbe axle thereto at tached.\\nAttempts have been made to use bevel-gear\\nfor operating this winding-shaft; but with a\\nheavy vehicle of the kind in question the\\n.jhocks and wrenchings arising from canses\\nhereinbefore indicated, to which a wheel\\nmounted and operating in the manner just\\ndescribed is subject, have been found practi-\\ncally uncontrollable by snch gear, and sorew-\\ngear is now used; or, if tho bevel-gear be re-\\ntained, the shocks upon it are relieved by use\\nof a leading-pole, guided by animals har-\\nnessed thereto.\\nReaping-machines and harvesters are\\ncommonly mounted on two wheels andguided\\nby a pole, to which the animals drawing the\\nmachine are yoked, and tho draft-animals\\nhave to carry the always-considerable and\\nSQnietimes great weight thrown upon the pole.\\nBy use of a single wheel, which, while carry-\\niij^ the weight of the machine now thrown\\nupon the pole, will serve to guide and steer\\nthe machine, the work of the team hauling\\nsuch machine will be largely lightened.\\nThe object of my said invention is to pro-\\nvldeforcarrying, directing, guidingand steer-\\ning wheeled vehicles other than tramway or\\nrailway vehicles, and particularly wheeled\\nvehicles ponderous in themselves or carrying\\ndistinctively heavy loads snch as road-mak-\\ning machines and agrionltnral machines and\\nwagons drawn by aninial-power or self-pro-\\npelling, and self-propelled road-engines and\\ntraetion-engines-^appliances by use of which\\none end of such vehicle will be carried by a\\nsingle steering-wheel, in the operation of\\nwhich neither the traversing-circie nor the\\nvertical bearing-spiudle-gear. the disadvan-\\ntageous qualities of which areabovespecified,\\nis employed.

(No model.)\\nIn traction-engines it is familiar practice to\\nmount the rearof the boiler-body on the main\\naxle for the drive-wheels. Extended acro^\\nback of the fire-box the axle receives and sus-\\ntains the bearings projected from the boiler,\\nthe weight of the boiler being thus hung on\\nthe axle, generally at both sides of the ma-\\nchine near the wheels. Sometimes the bear-\\nings are permitted to have a slight rectilineal\\nplay, moving np and down with the axle,\\nwhilespringsinterposed between thebearings\\nproper and the boiler-body not only limit the\\nplay, but absorb the shock due to travel of\\nthe wheels over rough roads. The boiler is\\nin a sense spring-suspended at its bearings\\non the main ax:le.\\nThe present invention designs, as before,\\nto bang the box-bearings from the axle; but\\ninstead of the rectilineal provides for a piv-\\notal or radial play of the bearings both cross\\nand length wise with reference to the boiler-\\nbody. The counter-shaft to drive the trac-\\ntion-wlieels is set parallel with the main axle\\nand is caused to participate in like measure\\nwith its radial play, the pitoh-lines of the\\ndriving-gear being thus kept at tr no mesh\\nthroughout despite the shift, while the inter-\\nposed springs may still serve, as in ordinary\\nusage, to take up lost motion and neutralize\\ntheshocksof rough travel.

Patented\\nApr. 7. 1860.\\n1 am aware that an air-engine has been de-\\nscribed which was to be propelled by com-\\npressed air that was carried by the engine in\\nsuitable air-reservoirs connected therewith;\\nbut such engines fron some fatal defect have\\naever become practical or even used, and I\\ndo not know that anything further than mere\\ntheorizing has been done in this line.\\nI have proven by actual experiment to my\\nown satisfaction that an air-engine for street-\\nrailroads more particularly can be propelled\\neconomically for several miles with the com-\\npressed air, which the car or engine can carry\\nwith it in suitablecorapartmeuts, from which\\nit is supplied to the cylinders; but it is nec-\\nessary to the economical use of this com-\\npressed air so carried that it should be ad-\\nmitted to the eylindei-s in regular or unifor;n\\nvolumes, while the body of the compressed\\nair is constantly diminishing in power by\\nevery stroke of theeugine. To effect this ob-\\nject, I use a cut-off, which is operated by the\\npressure of the air in the reservoir or com-\\npartments, so that as the air expands or bo-\\ncomes less powerful a greater quantity shall\\nbe admitted to the cylinders, and thus make\\nup in quantity what the air has lost in den-,\\nsityor power. AVorking compressed air from\\na reservoir which is not being constantly re-\\nplenished, but constantly exhausting, is an\\nentirely different thing from applying steam\\nby a cut-off where steam is constantly being\\nadded to the steani-ehamber, for in one ciise\\nthesupply of power diminishes by every stroke\\nof the engine, while with steam it may be in-\\ncreasing notwithstanding the supply that is\\nconstantly taken away to work the engine, or\\nat least kept at a uniform pressure.\\nIXy object is to make an engine or car that\\nis to be driven by the compressed air, which\\nit carries with it, for street-railroad purposes,\\nthe engine or car to be supplied from reser-\\nvoirs of compressed air at .stations where it\\nis prepared previously, and to have this air\\nautomatieallysupplied toitscylinders in uni-\\nform (jnantitiesby a cut-off that is governed\\nby the pressure of the air in the compart-\\nments which carry it, though that pressure be\\nconstantly diminishing, and I propose to carry\\nthis compressed air in cylinders or in anil\\nabout the engine or car, as may be most con-\\nvenient, the space ovei head, or under rhe car,\\nor under the seats, or between the wails of\\nthe car being, if found essential, used for this\\npurnosp.\\nThe application lu compressed-air engines\\nof an expansion cut-off which is operated by\\na positive motion, but the stroke of which is\\nregulated automatically by the pressure of\\nthe air in the air holder or reservoir, so as to\\nadmit a volume of air of a certain deusity\\ndirectly to and allow it to expand in the cj l-\\ninder for each stroke of the piston as is nec-\\nessary to drive the engine at a certain speed,\\nsubstantially in the manner herein described.\\n34,471.

No model.)\\nMy invention relates to an iraproveraenciu\\njointed axles particularly designed for the\\nforward axles of perambulators or other small\\nvehicles or carts; but also adapted to be used\\nin other sitnations, the object beint; to pro-\\nduce a simple and durable axle wliich will\\nrespond to side pressure upon the vehicle-\\nbody and to sci. the forward wheels iu posi-\\ntion for turning corners without lifting thejzi\\nand tnrningthe vehicle npoi) i^ o-^ c\\nas is now comraonlv done.\\nAlthough I have shown a constrnction in\\nwhich the ends of the axle are bent forward,\\nI wovild have it under.stood that I am not\\nlimited thereto, but that they may be bent\\nrearward or to some intermediate position, or\\nthat they may not bo bent at all, all of these\\nconstructions being within my invention,\\nwhich broadly comprehends links or arms\\narranged to swing horizontally on vertical\\naxes and constructed with horizontal spin-\\ndles or shafts for wheels or rollers moving in\\nvertical planes, and a coupler joining the\\nlinks or arms to cause them to move in uni-\\nson.\\nWhen a vehicle provided with my improved\\naxle is being propelled directly forward, the\\nlinks will conform to the line of draft and keep\\nthe wheels mounted on the spindles in line\\nwith the rear wheels of the vehicle. Now if\\nthe vehicle be subjected to lateral pressure or\\nstrain in either direction, the links will be\\nswung on their pivots on one side or the\\nother of the line of tho draft, whereby the\\nspindles and the wheels mounted upon them\\nwill be correspondingly changed in position\\nwith respect to the rear wheels, the contact\\nbetween the forward wheels and the ground\\nor other surface with which thej are in con-\\ntact forming the point of purchase for de-\\nflecting the linkp, as described. The forward\\nwheels having thus been changed in direc-\\ntion with respect to therear wheels, continued\\npropulsion oj the vehicle will cause it to turn\\nto oneside or the other from a straight path.\\nIn this way and by a side pressure the vehi-\\ncle may be changed in the direction of its\\npropulsion without tipping it to lift its for-\\nward wheels from the ground and then rotat-\\ning it on its rear wheels as upon a pivot to\\nhead it in another direction.\\nWhile my improved jointed axle is pecu-\\nliarly adapted for perambulatore, I would\\nhave it understood that it may be applied to\\nany other vehicle or bodies of a size permit-\\nting theni to bo placed under snflficient sido-\\nwise pressure to operate the jointed axle.\\nWhile I have shown the linksas being com-\\nposite it is apparent that if desired they may\\nbe made in one piece. Furthermore, although\\nI have shown a continuous axle,I maj if pre-\\nferred, employ adivided axle with thesamei e-\\nsults, my invention comprehending both, or I\\nmay dispense with tho axle altogether and\\nconnect the inner ends of the links or arms\\ndirectly with the body supported by means\\nof vertical pivots of any suitable form and\\nconstruction, wherebj the said body wouli^\\nvirtually take the place of an axle carrying\\nthe links at its respective ends. One link\\nor arm of such a construction is shown by\\nFig. 3 of the drawings, in which the inner\\nend of an arm I is swung on a vertical pivot\\nJ, which is counected with the body to be\\nsupported. The enter end of the arm is bi-\\nfurcated to receive a small roller K, which\\nturns in a vertical plane on a horizontal shaft\\nL, mounted in the said outer end of the arm,\\nwhich itself swings in a horizontal plane on a\\nvertical axis, while the roller turns in a ver-\\ntical plane on a horizontal axis.\\nIn view of the modifications hereinbefore\\nsuggested and mentioned I would have it un-\\nderstood that I do not limit myself to the ex-\\nact construction herein shown and described,\\nbut hold myself at liberty to make such\\nchanges and alterations as fairly fall within\\nthe spirit and scope of mv invention.\\n1.
