The fan blades 21 are mounted on loose arms or supports on the shaft 12, and driven by means of adjustable springs attached to the shaft and the blades. The inlet ports 18 at the ends of the drum casing may be opened or closed by means of louvers 19, Fig. 5. The outer louver of each set is carried by a sleeve 19<a> fixed to the shaft 12, and is adapted to slide across the inner one until a pin 23<a> on the inner louver engages with the end of a slot 23 in the outer louver. The inner louver of each set is attached to the fan arm or runner 20, and is slotted at its upper end to receive a pin on the next inner louver. Louvers 25, Fig. 8, may be hinged or otherwise mounted radially round each end opening of the fan casing; the louvers are held in a normal open position by means of springs 27, and are closed by the extra inrush of air when the speed of the fan increases. The louvers may be mounted at the larger end of a bell mouth fixed over the end opening of the casing. The fan blades 21, Fig. 3, may be pivotally mounted between the arms 28 on gudgeons placed off the centre lines of the blades, and carry projecting arms 29 with adjustable weights 30, which, when the fan is running above the normal speed, act against springs to tilt or feather the blades. Or the blades may be connected by cords which pass over pulleys on the fan arms to weights which, under the action of centrifugal force, slide on the fan arms and move the blades nearer to or farther from the fan shaft.

Abstract: 2040. Parker, C. W. Jan. 26. Dash-pots. -Relates to dash-pot devices for use with clutch-operating gear for motor-vehicles, and consists in constructing the dash-pot so that the clutch engages slowly while the gear is being changed, then quickly for a period, the final complete engagement being again gradual. The plate clutch described is disengaged by a foot-lever 22, which is connected by a shaft 24 to the operating-ring 28 and is disengaged by an internal spring. The shaft 24 carries an arm 35, to which is pivoted the piston-rod 33 of a dash-pot cylinder 31. The piston 32 is provided with a poppet valve 37, a by-pass 44 adjustably blocked by a screw 45, and two passages 38, 39 in which bear stationary adjustable valve-rods 40, 41, 42, Fig. 5. The cylinder contains thin oil. During unclutching, the piston 32 is lifted freely in the cylinder, the valve 37 opening automatically. Fig. 5 shows the relative positions of the piston and the stationary valves at the end of the unclutching stroke. When the pedal 22 is released, the internal clutch spring moves the piston 32 downwards. At first, the passage 39 being open, the movement is rapid while the play of the pedal 22 is taken up. The valve 42 then engages the end of the passage 39, and liquid can only escape through the by-pass 44. during which time the engagement of the clutch begins slowly and the gear is changed. When the valve 41 reaches the end of the passage 38, this passage is open, as shown in Fig. 7. The clutch then engages rapidly until it is nearly in complete engagement, the passage 38 being then closed by the valve 40, and the engagement completed slowly.
