Title: Improvements in Aeroplanes.
Inventor: ROTTENBURG LOUIS
IPC: B64C1/00
Filed: 1909-02-15
Granted: 1909-10-28
Abstract: 3697. Rottenburg, L. Feb. 15. Balancing.-Automatic balance of an aeroplane transversely and longitudinally is maintained by pivoting the lifting-planes C, C', F, F<1> on axes A and interconnecting them diagonally in pairs by cords D. Any tilting-up of the tail of one of the planes, due to a gust of wind, is accompanied by a tilting-down of the tail of the other plane of the pair, and the resultant of the lifting-effects of the two planes of each pair always passes through the centre of gravity of the machine. Steering vertically. The inclination of the balancing-planes may be altered manually, without destroying their capability of automatic mutual adjustment, by shortening the cord D by means of a pulley G, Fig. 5. If an elastic element H is interposed in the restraint of the pulley G, the planes yield to sudden gusts, and undulating flight and injurious stresses are thus avoided.

Granted: 1909-07-22
Abstract: 6104. Ljungstr÷m, B. March 21, 1908, [Convention date]. Rotors.-The rotors of radial-flow turbines comprise a series of loosely-fitting concentric rings, which can move independently in an axial or radial direction, whereby distortional strains due to unequal expansion by heat are prevented. The rotor may be made up of rings 1, 2, 3, 4, Figs. 1 and 2, held together by screws 6 arranged in the interspaces and threaded in corresponding threads in the adjacent rings. Alternatively, the rings 8, 9, 10, Fig. 3, may be held together by radial screws 11. In a modification, the rings are formed with recesses, grooves, or the like 12, Fig. 5, for the reduction of weight. In further modifications, the rings are connected together by flanges, independent rotation being prevented by the use of screws or keys. The interspaces between the rings may be used as passages for the supply of driving-fluid.

Abstract: 14,199. Eves, R. V. June 17. Hanks, treating; yarns and threads, stretching, softening, and polishing.-Hanks are twisted into kinks between pairs of hooks, one hook of each pair being carried by a weighted carriage, and the other being fixed in position and rotated by hand or power. Means are provided whereby, at the commencement of the operation, the carriage is almost completely counterbalanced, and no tension is applied to the hanks, while, as twist is put into the hanks and they become shorter, a gradually increasing portion of the weight of the carriage is brought into operation for stretching the hanks. Each chain E by which the carriage is suspended is attached at one end to the carriage and at the other to a double-grooved pulley E<1>. Another chain E<2> is attached at one end to the second groove of the pulley E and to a double-grooved pulley F<1>. Over the second groove of the pulley F<1> passes the weighted chain F. When the carriage is in its lowest position, it is counterbalanced by the weight W, but as it rises, the chain E<2> assumes the position shown in dotted lines, and the carriage is no longer balanced. As shown in Fig. 6 the pulleys E<1>, F<1> may be made of cam or eccentric shape as shown. To subject the hanks to high tension, hooks G<1> may be provided and caused to engage with pins on the carriage C, the hooks being moved longitudinally by screwed rods G and suitable nuts, which are operated from the shaft g<3> by the gearing shown, comprising spring-pressed clutches H which slip when the tension has reached a certain maximum.
