Abstract: 25,749. Mees, G. Nov. 22, 1909, [Convention date]. Screw and like propellers. - Flying - machines having fixed supporting - planes are provided with a lifting - propeller which has blades adjustable in pitch, and is formed with a heavy rim so as to serve as a gyroscopic steadying- device and as a flywheel for the motor. The propeller comprises a tubular rim K connected by spokes b, c, d to the tubular shaft a, four spokes k of the horizontal series being adapted to carry the propeller blades. These blades are made of thin sheet steel connected to pairs of frames m, m<1> of aluminium or light alloy. The blades are retained in the position in which their pitch is zero by springs i, i<1>, and under such conditions the propeller serves merely to steady the machine. The blades may he set to the desired pitch for producing a lifting effect by means of wires connected to the blades at n, n<1> and also to a pin o, which is moved axially within the shaft a by a rod u connected by a ball joint to a lever h, h'. The blades may be adjusted to a greater extent at the inner than at the outer edges.

Filed: 1911-05-15
Granted: 1912-05-15
Abstract: 11,700. Newton, P. A., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. May 15. Anthraquinonehydroazines, which are vat dyes, are obtained by treating with oxidizing- agents o-amino-alpha-#-dianthraquinonylamines or derivatives thereof, containing substituents in the anthracene nuclei or alkyl, aryl, or acidyl derivatives substituted in the amino group. The oxidation can be effected by means of fuming sulphuric acid, or concentrated sulphuric acid with manganese dioxide &c., or by alkalis or phenolates, or nitro compounds with or without an oxygen carrier. The production of the parent aminodianthraquinonylamines and the hydroazines may be effected in one operation. When the oxidation results in the formation of azines these may be reduced to the hydroazines by means of bisulphites. According to examples indanthrene is obtained from o-amino-alpha-#-dianthraquinonylamine, N-methylmidanthrene is obtained from o-methylaminoalpha-#-dianthraquinonylamine, and an oxy-N- methylindanthrene is obtained from 1-methylamino-2-bromanthraquinone and 1-amino-4-oxyanthraquinone. Specifications 10,053/10 and 29,352/10 are referred to.

Fig. 2 shows a motor implement provided with a special arrangement of turn-wrest ploughs and reciprocating coulters, but other tools may be employed. The axle 5 of the steering-wheels 7 is spring-controlled, and the axle 4 of the rear wheels 6 is adjustable vertically. The main axle 10 and wheels 11 are driven from the motor or motors 9, and drive the tool drum 16 through chain gearing 12, 13, countershaft 14, and a clutch actuated by a rod 32 near the seat 27. The drum may be parallel with the axle 10 or inclined to it. The turn-wrest ploughs are mounted on shafts 40 acted on by springs which normally hold the ploughs in the inoperative position. The ploughs are held in operative position by the engagement of diametrically-opposite projections on the shafts 40 with fixed stops. Bevel-wheels on the shaft 40 gear with bevel - wheels on shafts passing through the longitudinal tubes of the drum 16 and carrying spur - wheels 44 engaging with toothed segments on a wheel 46, which normally rotates with the drum but may be partially rotated relatively to it to reverse the ploughs. The wheel is locked in its extreme positions by two spring bolts in a curved arc on the drum. It is adjusted by moving a lever 48 provided with a sliding block 49 which is simultaneously pressed against the wheel by a lever 50. A projection on the block 49 disengages the spring locking-bolt. As the ploughs leave the soil, they are partially rotated by the engagement of the spur-wheels 44 with a fixed toothed segment 56. The bearings of the drum axle 15 are adjustable vertically by means of screws. Coulters are reciprocated vertically in guides by eccentrics 23 on a shaft 24. According to the Provisional Specification, chain harrows may be fixed between the longitudinal edges of a prismatic drum.
