Title: Improved Means for Propelling Vehicles, Vessels or the like.
Inventor: DREXL MARTIN
IPC: B64D35/00
Filed: 1913-01-16
Granted: 1913-09-25
Abstract: 1312. Drexl, M. Jan. 16. Propelling.-Comprises means for giving a series of impulses to an air-ship by the automatic intermittent axial motion of the shaft on which the propelling-means are mounted. The propeller shaft A, Fig. 1, is mounted on a frame and is connected with the prime-mover G by a coupling H which allows relative axial movement. Collars E, F on the shaft A and frame B have serrated faces which assist in producing the intermittent axial movement of the shaft when the propeller is rotated. When started up, the propeller moves the shaft axially until the collars contact, an impulse being thereby transmitted to the frame which is moved. At the same time the energy taken out slows up the propeller so that the collars move apart ; this movement is assisted by the serrated faces. The engine then speeds up ready for another impulse and repetition of the cycle.
