Granted: 1908-09-10
Abstract: 10,382. Kaempfe, H. Anschutz-. May 13. Gyroscopic apparatus.- In a gyroscopic apparatus the axis of rotation of which is partly fixed in the horizontal plane, and which, therefore, makes oscillations about the North-South direction, a pendulum is provided to damp the oscillations due to the movement of the support such as a ship. Fig. 1 is a side elevation and shows the suspension device in section. Fig. 2 is a front elevation, partly in section. Fig. 3 is a plan of the gyroscope with the regulatirg slides 18, 19 and without the motor. The vessel 3 is filled with some suitable liquid 4 and covered by a glass plate 5. The compass card 6 can be seen through the glass plate and is secured to a float 7. The float 7 is rigidly secured by means of an intermediate part 8 to a casing 9 in which the rotating mass of the gyroscope 10 is supported by the spindle 11. When the angle between the axis of rotation 11 and the pendulum 17 changes, external forces in the shape of air jets are brought into action. The gyroscopic apparatus is in the form of a centrifugal pump, the air is sucked in at the holes 12 during rotation and discharged from nozzles 14, 15 in such a manner that the escaping air jets bring about reaction-turning- momenta acting in opposition to the oscillations to be damped ; the speed of discharge of the air jet in either direction is regulated by unsymmettical throttling devices 18, 19 adjusted by the angle of inclination of the pendulum, which angle depends on the speed of rotation of the gyroscope.

Title: Improvements in Means for Inflating the Tyres of Cycles or Motor Vehicles while in Motion
Inventor: DEUNERT FREDRICK AUGUST
Filed: 1908-10-19
Granted: 1909-05-20
Abstract: 22,100. Deunert, F. A. Oct. 19. Inflating tyres. Relates to the inflation of the tyres of cycles or motorvehicles while in motion, and particularly to that class of apparatus in which an inflator mounted in the wheel is actuated by a cam or eccentric mounted on the hub, and comprises the construction, mounting, and actuation of the eccentric, and also means for excluding dust &c. from the inflator barrel. The inner open end of the inflator barrel F is fitted in the socket of a clip k on the hub. The piston-rod G is connected to the eccentric strap, which is T-shaped in crosssection, by means of a transverse pin I, which is guided in a longitudinal slot H in the barrel. Au aperture with a removable cap K gives access to the pin. The piston - rod carries a curved plate J<1> which closes the slot H and prevents the entrance of dirt &c., and a disk or piston J which forces any dirt in the lower portion of the barrel through discharge pipes F<1> near the inner end of the barrel. To the side of the inflator barrel is fitted a combined relief valve and alarm whistle l. The eccentric is mounted on a split bush on the hub, an annular projection on the bush engaging a corresponding recess f in the eccentric so as to prevent relative lateral displacement. In order that the eccentric and bush may be readily dismounted for repairs, the eccentric is made in two 'parts V, W, one of which is provided with lugs U which fit over the other; the parts are secured together by screws passing through slots in the member without the lugs. Normally the eccentric and its strap rotate with the wheel and the inflator piston is not actuated. To effect such actuation, the rotation of the eccentric is prevented by bring- ing a spring-pressed rod Q into contact with a cam projection R on the eccentric. The cam is shaped so that forward motion of the wheel only will effect the inflation. The rod Q is normally held out of action by a pull wire or cord L extending from a handle or foot-lever (not shown). A clip 0 with jaws N provides a guide for the rod Q and an abutment for its spring.

Abstract: 4803. Moorsel, C. van. Feb. 26. No Patent granted (Sealingfee not paid). Steering and balancing. - In an automatic balancing-device for aerial machines, comprising sets of aerofoils which are pivoted at the forward end and connected together at the rear end, the planes are so connected and mounted that the movements of the balancing-surfaces are dependent both on differences of pressure at the different parts of the machine and on variations of the machine from the horizontal position. Four sets of aerofoils S are pivoted at the front edge, and are connected at their rear ends by cords to levers d e, f g, fulcrumed on a beam a c. The beam a c is fulcrumed at b on the rod of a pendulous mass M, which may consist of the motor, aeronaut, &c. The beam a c can move longitudinally over its fulcrum b, and its ends can slide transversely along the roda d e, f g. Each set of planes S is balanced laterally as regards wind pressures through the levers d e, f g ; the front and rear sets of planes are balanced longitudinally through the lever a c. If the machine tilts laterally, the beam a c moves along the beams d e, f g, varying the arms of these levers, and causing the planes on the lower side to assume a greater inclination than those on the higher side of the machine. Similarly, if the machine tilts longitudinally, the fulcrum b moves along the lever a c and causes the planes at the lower end to increase their inclination relatively to those at the raised end. The lever a c may be moved vertically by the operator in order to vary the inclination of all the planes for rising or falling.
