Granted: 1912-01-25
Abstract: 18,311. Reymond, M. Aug. 25, 1910, [Convention date]. Paddle - wheels; driving - arrangements for paddle-wheels.-A rotary propeller for use in air or water is adapted to make half a revolution about its own axis while that axis performs a complete revolution about a main shaft. The inclination of the blade with respect to the machine may be adjusted by turning it about its axis or by varying the inclination of the blade axis with respect to the main shaft. The blade a is fixed to the axis a<2>, which can rotate in a bearing b<1> carried by arms b, of which one is hinged and the other curved and in two parts b<3>, b<4>, connected by a bolt b<2>. Adjustment of the two parts b<3>, b<4> by means of the bolt b<2> enables the inclination of the axis a<2> to be varied. The main shaft c carries pinions f<2> normally fixed but adjustable through a worm and worm-wheel g when the inclination of the blade is to be altered. Pinions h carried by the arms b gear with the pinions f<2> and with pinions on the axis a<2>. As the shaft c rotates, the pinions h roll on the pinions f<2>, and they are chosen so that the rotation transmitted to the shaft a<2> is such that opposite faces of the blade strike the fluid in each successive revolution of the shaft c. Various positions taken up by the blade are shown in Fig. 4. If desired, elliptical gear-wheels may be used so that the blades rotate at a variable speed. Several fans may be mounted on the same support carried by the main shaft. The fan blades are S-shaped in cross-section and symmetrical about their axes. They may be solid or hollow, and made of wood, metal, &c., or of sheets of rigid or flexible material.

Abstract: 3971. Stefano, A. de. Feb. 16. Ordnance design, built-up, and tubes.-Relates to ordnance barrels of the kind in which two or more tubes are concentrically mounted and the annular spaces between them are filled with compressed fluid, and consists in producing the pressure by means of gas, liquids, liquids mixed with pulverized substances, or viscous fluids or solids introduced between the tubes and maintained there under pressure even during firing. The tubes b, c, Fig. 1, are provided with collars a which are notched to receive projections on the tubes d, c to prevent rotation of the tubes. The tubes may be provided with longitudinal or circumferential ribs to bring the surfaces into contact with each other. When the ribs are omitted, the arrangement shown in Fig. 4 may be adopted, the passage f being too small to allow movement of the fluid under a sudden pressure. Pressure variation due to temperature is avoided by a spring piston i and small opening h as shown in Fig. 5. The pressure in any annular space may be produced by direct compression of the fluid, or by raising its temperature, or by connecting the spaces to a storage reservoir containing fluid under pressure ; or an arrangement shown in Fig. 7 may be used when different pressures are required in the annular spaces. The pistons r, s are acted upon by pressure fluid admitted at p to the chamber u, and by varying the areas of the pistons r, s and plungers u, t, the different pressures are obtained.
