Patent GB-190907503-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Aerial Machine.
Inventor: HODGES FREDERICK CHARLES
IPC: B64C27/04
Filed: 1909-03-29
Granted: 1910-02-17
Abstract: 7503. Hodges, F. C., and Selby, G. M. March 29. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Motor power plant.-An aerial machine is lifted by a number of propellers c, h, Fig. 1, each driven by a separate motor, the fore- and-aft motor, which drives auxiliary lifting- propellers, being governed by a pendulum, and the two main motors being geared together so that one engine can drive both propellers when necessary. Fore-and-aft driving and steering propellers r are mounted on ball-and-socket joints and are driven by bevel-gear and a flexible shaft t. The shafts d of the lifting-propellers are mounted in hollow masts e, and are coupled directly to the driving-shaft of the motors b, i. The shafts d of the main propellers c are coupled together by bevel-wheels g and a shaft f, so that either of the motors b may drive both propellers. The motors i, driving the auxiliary propellers h, are governed by a pendulum j, Fig. 5, which acts through rods k, k<1> to lift or depress the weight l of the governor of the notor and so increase or decrease its speed.

Title: Improvements in Sewing Machines.
Inventor: FAIRWEATHER WALLACE
IPC: D05B73/12

Granted: 1909-12-16
Abstract: 18,063. Fairweather, W., [Singer Manufacturing Co.]. Aug. 5. Sewing-machine needles, vibrating. -In sewing- machines in which the mechanism for vibrating t h e needle can be put into or out of action by the operator w h i l e the machine is working, improved devices are provided for ensuring that the change is made only when the needle is out of the work. The vibrator 27 is pivoted at one end 28 to the needle-gate, and at the other end it embraces a cam 24 on a shaft 23 from which it receives vertical motion. At the point 29 it is connected to a swinging link 30 which is pivoted at 31 to a radius arm 32, by which the endlong movement of the vibrator is determined. The radius arm is fixed to the front end of a shaft 33, which at the rear carries a lever 34. The lever 34 engages by a pin and slot with a lever 36, which is pressed upwards by a spring 42 and moves between stops 45. The rear end of the cam shaft 23 receives an outwardly-pressed plunger 50, which is caused to revolve with it. In the face of the plunger-end 51 is a recess 58 shaped to receive a roller on the inner side of the lever 34. Two opposite sides 58<a> of the recess are shaped to retain the roller when within the recess, and the sides 58<b> are sloped so that if force is applied to the lever 34 the roller will press the plunger inwards and escape from the recess. Similarly, the periphery of the plunger-end, where it corresponds to the sides 58a, is shaped to prevent the roller from passing into the recess if outside and the parts of the periphery adjacent the sides 58<b> are bevelled so that the roller on the lever 34 under the pressure of the spring 42 may, when in contact with either of these parts, press the plunger inwards and enter the recess. The relation of the plunger-end and the cam 24 is such that movement of the lever 34 and the radius arm of the vibrator can only take place when the needle is out of the work. The ex. treme positions of the levers 34, 36 can be adjusted by screws 47 in the stop lugs 45. To lock the levers 34, 36 in the needle-vibrating position, a plate 61 on the lever 36 is moved to the position shown in dotted lines, and locked there by a screw 63.

Abstract: 27,375. Lebreil, F., Desgeorge, R., and Thomassin, C. Nov. 25, 1908, [Convention date]. Aerial machines without aerostats; adopted to travel on land; planes, arrangement and construction of.-The supporting - surfaces of an aerial machine are shaped like the hull of a ship; they are concave in transverse section and straight in longitudinal direction and are formed of thin sheets of wood. An elongated triangular keel 2 is arranged between the supporting-surfaces 3 which carry the bicycleshaped car. The front wheel of the car can be turned for steering when the machine is on the ground. A partitioned petrol tank 36 is located between the two planes 3. Propelling.-Two propellers 13, 15 are driven in opposite directions through bevel-gearing from the engine 6. Steering laterally is effected by varying the direction of thrust of the propellers. The gearwheels 10, 11 are carried by a framing pivoted at 16 to the keel 2. The propeller shafts 12, 14 at the front of the machine slide in a guide 18, and the shafts are turned from side to side through the handle 19 and rods 20, 21, 22. Vertical steering is effected by means of a single or double elevator 23 pivoted at the rear of the planes 3 and operated by displacement of the aviator's seat 25.
