HERBERT AUSTIN, OF BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND.
AUTOVEHICLE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 793,409, dated June 27, 1905.
Application filed December 10,1904. Serial No. 236,371.
To all, whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, HERBERT AUSTIN, engineer, a subject of the King of- Great Britain, residing at Berwood Grove. Chester Road, in the city of Birmingham, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Autovehicles, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to vehicles, such as wheeled vehicles and boats, which are selfpropelled; and it has for its objects to insure rigidity between the motor-bearings of an internal-combustion engine of an autocar or self-propelled boat and the bearings of the change-speed gear, to connect the bearings of the motor, and gear with the framing of the car or boat in a manner which avoids, as far as possible, cross strains between the motor and the gear, and to enable the motor, together with the gear-box and with the steering-spindle, dashboard, and parts carried by the dashboard, to be lifted out from the framing as an entire structure, thus facilitating erection and also repair and insuring that the various parts will better preserve their proper relation to one another under the vicissitudes to which a car or boat is exposed in use than if they were independently connected with the framing.
The invention is illustrated by the accompanying drawings as applied to the motor and change-speed gear of an autocar.
Of the drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation, partly in section, of a four-cylinder engine and change-speed gear, showing also the means by which the rear road-wheels are driven from the gear-box. Fig. 2 is a plan view of as much of the mechanism shown by Fig. 1 as is necessary to make the invention clear; and Fig. 3 is a plan view, partly in section, of different means to those shown by Figs. 1 and 2, by which the rear road-wheels are driven from the gear-box.
Referring first to Figs-1 and 2, the enginecasing A B is formed, as usual, with an upper part A, which directly carries the cylinders C, and with a lower part B, which is bolted to the upper part A. The forward end of the casing AB is formed with a bearing a,
through which the forward end of the crankshaft 6 passes, and this end of the shaft is adapted to receive a handle 0, by which the shaft may be revolved by hand to start the motor. The bearing a is formed with a bracket or lug (Z, which is bolted to across-bearer c of the car-framing. The rear end of the casing A B is formed as a deepened and widened part D E, of which the part D is formed with the part A and the part E with the part B, and within this portion D E of the casing is the usual combined fly-wheel and clutch F G. From the opposite sides of this widened-out portion D E of the casing project brackets or lugs f, which rest upon and are bolted to the sides g of the ear-framing. The changespeed-gear box H is formed at its end which is toward the motor with an enlarged portion K, which at its face is of the size of the portion D Eof the motor-casing and is bolted thereto, thus making the gear-box a rigid structure with the motor-casing. This entire structure is carried on three points of the framing onlynamely, at the points where the brackets of the casing are fixed to the framingwhereby cross strains are avoided or minimized. The bracket it, which carries the lower end of the steering-s pindle on which is mounted the worm and which carries the worm-wheel which is operated by such worm, is fixed to the easing A B, as is also the dashbord M, and thus these parts, and consequently the parts which are carried by the dashboard, are all lifted out from the framing in lifting out the motor. The end of the driven shaft n of the change-speed gear passes out through the rear end of the gear-box H. This end of such shaft carries a box p, which forms the female member of a universal joint and receives the head (7, which forms the male portion of such joint. The head (1 is formed upon the forward end of a shaft 1', which at its other or rear end drives, through a similar universal joint 8 and gearing N, the differential or balance shafts I, from sprocket-wheels t of which are driven the rear road-wheels R. The universal joints may be of the well-known construction illustrated or of any convenient construction.
The arrangement illustrated by Fig. 3 differs from that already described merely in the shaft 0 driving direct, through the medium of differential or balance gear N, shafts P, which carry the rear road-Wheels R.
In this specification the term dashboard is used as meaning the dashboard of an autocar and upon which are mounted various fittings or a corresponding board used with a boat for supporting like fittings, whether the same is in the same position in relation to the motor as in the case of an autocar or in other position.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patcnt, is-
1. The motor-casing and change-speed-gear box constituting a single rigid structure and supported by the framing of an autocar or boat at three points, namely, by a bracket at the front end and two side brackets, said side brackets being situated at the point Where the casing is enlarged to receive the fly-wheel.
2. The motor-casing, having an enlargement at the end which is adjacent to the change speed gear to inclose the fly-wheel, formed as a single rigid structure with the change-speedgear box and supported on the framing of an autocar or boat by means of a bracket at the front end and two side brackets from the enlargement, as set forth.
3. The motor-casing and change-speed-gear box formed as a single rigid structure and having the steering-spindle bracket fixed thereto so as to be removable therewith, as set forth.
4. The motor-casing having the dashboard fixed thereto, so as to be removable therewith, as set forth.
In witness whereof I have hereunto signed my name, this 28th day of November, 1904:, in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
HERBERT AUSTIN.
