Title: Improvements in or relating to Flying Machines.
Inventor: PERKS EDWIN
Filed: 1908-10-27
Granted: 1909-02-04
Abstract: 22,809. Perks, E. Oct. 27. Aerial machines without aerostats; wings; propelling; steering.-A flying machine is raised by vertically - reciprocating frames L, covered at the sides with fabric M and provided with valves T on the upper surface. The frames move on guides N and are reciprocated by rods K, which are connected to crankshafts H driven by bevel-gearing from longitudinal shafts G at each side of the platform E of the machine. The shafts G are driven by chains V from the motor. Screw propellers Y are mounted on the ends of the shifts G and are geared to rotate in opposite directions. The valves T are mounted on wires S, and are provided with a strip U of flexible material to form a stop for the adjacent flap. The car is suspended from the platform E and is in the form of a boat to travel on water. A steering-propeller D is mounted on a universal joint X.

Granted: 1909-11-04
Abstract: 23,798. Mercer, I. E. Nov. 6. Aerial machines without aerostats; aeroplanes; propelling; steering &c. - Aerial machines are steered and balanced by regulating, automatically or manually, the power of the propeller engines. Rudders may be used in combination with these means. The machine comprises a rectangular framework a with lifting-propellers 3, 4, 5, 6 and vertical propellers 1, 2 driven by separate engines. A pendulum c, suspended by gimbals at d, is adapted to move a slide f provided with two slots at right-angles to each other. Blocks g, h slide in the slots and are connected with the pistons of throttle valves l<3> &c. of the lifting-propeller engines. Each engine is provided with two valves l<3>, m<3>, &c. controlled respectively by the blocks g, h and these are, in the normal position shown, fully open, but tilting of the machine causes a partial throttling of the valves either of the engines 3, 4 or of the engines 5, 6 and lateral tilting affects the valves of either the pair 3, 5 or of the pair 4, 6. Each engine may also have a hand-controlled valve and these may be connected to hand-levers operating, in the case of the lifting-propellers, horizontal rudders x, y, z, and in the case of the propellers 1, 2, vertical rudders. A supporting- plane p enables the machine to land safely in the event of failure of the engines. According to the Provisional Specification, this plane may be brought into a position below the platform to rest upon the surface of water. Further, one of the horizontal rudders may be turned about a longitudinal axis to constitute the vertical rudder.

Abstract: 25,173. Morse, J. A. Nov. 29,1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907.] Spindle apparatus. - The freely rotatable traveller-ring 8 is mounted in a number of rocking controller members or posts 5 mounted in a base 1 forming an unyielding external support. The grooves 6, 9 of the posts 5 loosely engage the flanges of the ring and base respectively, the ring-engaging grooves 6 being preferably formed of oil-impregnated wood. The pivotal portions 10 of the posts loosely fit the space 4 between the flange 2 and shoulder 3 of the base. The inner faces of the posts are engaged by tongues 14 on a spring band 12 frictionally held in the base or secured by clips 13, and to vary the pressure of the posts on the traveller ring, one (or less than the entire number) of the posts is adjustable by means of a spring-controlled screwed pin 19 preferably mounted in a sleeve 18 on the base. One of the tongues 14 may be replaced by a pair of oppositely-disposed tongues. A protecting- sleeve may be inserted within the band 12, having a flanged portion resting on the band and recesses for the reception of the posts 5. The space 4 in the base not occupied by the posts is filled with felt &c. to exclude lint and dust from the inside of the ring.

Abstract: 8583. Willans & Robinson, Hemmings, H. F. L., and Willans, K. W. April 8. Packing, facilitating insertion or extraction of.-In a tool for inserting packing into a stuffing - box for a tube or rod, the end of the packing - cord rests against a stop w in a fixed casing i, and is wound on to a tube e by the rotation of the tube and the spindie a. The packing is then pushed off the tube e into the stuffing-box by the forward motion of a sleeve h, secured to the spindle a by a pin f, which passes through slots g in the sleeve e, the stop w being withdrawn by a rod y riding over a cam z. The spindle a rotates in a bearing b in a handle c and in a bearing in a bracket d; the sleeve e rotates in a plate l and in a plate k carrying the tube i. Rotation of the plates k, l is prevented by a guide o. A clutch s normally holds the spindle a stationary by engagement with teeth on the handle c, but may be pressed axially against the action of a spring u to engage the shaft with a bevel-wheel r driven by a wheel q on a rotating spindle p. In some cases, a few turns only of the packing- cord are wound on the sleeve e, the remaining turns being wound in position in the box. The end of the cord is then nipped, and the continued rotation of the spindle a causes the cord to break off. The cord is fed forwards again by the ratchet action of springs h', e<2>, the casing i being moved backwards and forwards by a handle n. The Provisional Specification describes also a cutting-off knife carried by the casing i.

Granted: 1910-06-28
Abstract: 15,003. Hutchinson, P., Hutchinson, T. J., and Forrester, A. D. June 28. Drawings to Specification. Cooling charge.-Heavy oil is vaporized and the vapour formed, either alone or mixed with air, is cooled to a degree that is sufficient to contract it considerably without condensing it. Cooling is effected by passing the vapour or mixture through a water-cooled pipe to which cold air may be admitted through an automatic valve. Cooling may be wholly effected by adding air. The air valve may be adjusted by a Bowden wire and may be connected to the engine throttle. This method ensures a maximum charge being delivered to the engine. The Provisional Specification states that the invention is applicable to purposes other than explosion engines.

Abstract: 23,823. Dean, G. Oct. 18. Joints.-In an internal - combustion engine having driving-gear of the swash-plate type, the swash-plate is supported by a ball-and-socket joint consisting of a hollow hemisphere 8 working between two fixed hemispherical surfaces 7, 10<a>. The connecting-rods 55 are connected to the swash-plate and to the pistons by similarly constructed joints. The connecting-rods may be made in two parts connected by right and left hand nuts 57. Various methods of constructing the ball-and-socket joints are described. In one form the central hemisphere is carried by the swash-plate and the inner and outer ones by the connecting-rod. Means are provided for preventing the swash-plate from rotating. In the engine shown, a hemisphere 122 is provided and is pivoted to the fixed hemisphere 10<a> by pins 123 and to the movable hemisphere 8 by pins 124 forming a universal joint. In one modification, the moving hemisphere and the inner fixed guide are provided with keyways in planes at right - angles to one another, and a movable hemisphere is situated between them and provided with keys fitting into the keyways. In another modification, one or two of the connecting-rods are connected to their respective pistons by the ordinary gudgeon connexion. In engines with an odd number of cylinders, only one such connexion can be used, but in engines with an even number of cylinders, two such connexions diametrically opposite may be used.
