Title: Improvements in and relating to Motor Flying Machines
Inventor: WUNDERLICH ALFRED
IPC: B64C23/00
Filed: 1908-01-20
Granted: 1909-01-20
Abstract: 1307. Wunderlich, A. Jan. 20. Aerial machines without aerostats; aeroplanes; framework; propelling; steering.-An aerial machine is provided with adjacent chambers alternately open at the top and bottom and connected together by lateral openings,.and the air is drawn from the chambers that are open at the top and forced into those that are open at the bottom by means of revolving drums, arranged in the chambers that are open at the bottom and having vanes which produce centrifugal currents of air, these currents of air being controlled by means of a partly enclosing sheath, so that a lifting and propelling force is obtained. The drums 1, Fig. 1, each of which may be driven by a separate motor, comprise wings 3 secured to shafts 2 and, in some cases, to rings 5. A sheath 4 partly encloses each drum, and has its edges arranged on a plane inclined at about 45 degrees. The air currents take the paths indicated by the arrows. A propelling-force is derived from those currents in the direction of the arrows h, while those in the direction of the arrows g are augmented by the outrush of air from beneath the sheath, and, under the control of vanes 8, aspirate further air, as indicated by arrows k, so as to produce a maximum compression of the air below an horizontal plane d, d. A machine is provided with a series of these drums arranged, as shown in Figs. 13, 14, and 15, in chambers 17 closed at the top and open at the bottom. Open-topped chambers 14, separated by bent partitions 35, are disposed at both sides of the chambers 17, and communicating- perforations are provided so that the rarefaction produced about the axes of the drums, as before described, may withdraw air from the chambers 14 and create a partial vacuum therein and thus produce an unbalanced upward force on the bottoms thereof. This action may be increased by providing ventilation pockets 19, Fig. 15, on the sides of the drums, adapted to scoop up the air from the chambers 14 and convey it to the interior of the drums. The sustaining effect is increased by means of wings 29, which prevent the lower compressed air from rising freely along the side walls 23. These wings are adjusted by cords passing round pulleys 31, 32 to one of the cabins 33 provided between the two series of drums. Adjustable planes 36, which may be of box-kite form, are also provided. These may be flexible, and may be adapted to be wound on rollers. A series of adjustable superposed blades may be arranged at the front and rear of the machine. The machine may be captive, and may be fed with power by a cable from a motor-car &c. on the earth.

Inventor: TOWNER ARTHUR DANESBURY
Filed: 1908-01-22
Granted: 1908-07-09
Abstract: 1551. Towner, A. D. Jan. 22. Automatic instruments.-In a mechanical player for piano. fortes and analogous musical instruments, pneumatically-controlled means are provided for shutting-off the direct passage to exhaust and opening an indirect passage, and also for completely shutting-off the exhaust during the rewinding of the tunesheet. The treble and bass expression boxes are situated at opposite ends of the instrument, only one of them being shown in Fig. 1. Normally, the air passes through a trunk 7 leading to the note-operating pneumatics, a. channel 6, and ports 5, 4, 3, to the bellows 30. When a stop 8 is depressed, a spring valve 10 opens a duct 11 leading to a pipe 12, thereby inflating a pneumatic 9, shown in Fig. 2, which is a section on the line A-B of Fig. 1. The port 3 is thereby closed, and the air passes through a port 19, channel 18, and port 17, to a regulator 15 controlled by a spring 29, and through a port 14 to the bellows 30. A valve attached to the regulator 15 controls the aperture of the port 14. To cut off the exhaust from the note-operating pneumatics during rewindiag, the knob 2 is rotated, whereby a crank 23 opens a valve 24 admitting air to a pneumatic 31 through a port 23, and pipes 26, 27, thus closing the port 5 by means of the valve 20.

Granted: 1909-03-18
Abstract: 6509. Moss, E. March 24. Typewriters and l i k e machines.- Relates to a machine for stamping or franking letters, telegrams, &c. The letter &c. is inserted through a slot in a casing a beneath a series of upwardly spring- pressed stamps p, which are carried by the flanges o of a quadrant m pivoted to the casing a. The stamps impress different postage values, and any one is brought into printing positions beneath a plunger t by means of an arm, a spring tooth upon which cooperate with notches in an indicator plate. The plunger t is depressed by a grooved cam 2 on a shaft e, acting through a ball x, a block w, and a spring u. The countershafts e, f are geared to rotate synchronously with the main shaft d, which is turned by a crank g. A spring-held tooth 28 on the crank co-operates with a stop 29 to prevent the shaft d from making more than a single revolution, and a pawl coacting with a ratchet-wheel 30 on the shaft e prevents the shaft d from being turned backwards. Mechanism whereby the total aggregate value of the impressions made in the machine may be recorded comprises ordinary counting- mechanism operated by hand-gearing 13 from a pinion 9 on a shaft 8. The pinion is adapted to gear with any one of a series of toothed segments on a drum 7, which is axially displaceable on the shaft f. A collar 15 on the drum is engaged by the arm 14 of a lever, which is movable along a shaft 13, the slotted arm 16 of the lever being engaged by a pin 19 on the quadrant m. When a stamp is brought to the printing point, the corresponding toothed segment meshes with the pinion 9. The circumferential lengths of the segments are proportionate to the values of the stamps. The stamp of smallest value produces unit movement in the counter. The impression is made through an inch ribbon wound upon spools 20, either of which is geared at will, so as to alter the direction of feed, with a lengthways displaceable shaft 21. A ratchet-wheel on the shaft is intermittently rotated by pawls 24 on a collar 23, which is limited by a rod 25 with a crank on the shaft d.

Abstract: 26,089. Electric Control, Ltd., and Macmillan, C. Dec. 3. [Cognate Application No. 7023, A.D. 1909, dated March 24.] Brakes.-A brake, for use especially with electric elevators, is normally held on by a spring or other device, and is released by an electro-magnet, the armature of which when in a position approximating to magnetic equilibrium actuates a device which renders the spring inoperative until the current is broken. A rocking lever A, which operates the brakes, is acted upon by a spring C and is coupled to a bell-crank lever D, having pivoted at its upper end a thrust link E which is provided with a roller E' adapted to move along a vertical guide F. The brake is released by a solenoid G acting upon an armature G, which compresses the spring C by raising the link E until the roller E<1> strikes a stop F<1>. The link E is either kept in its raised position by the armature G<1>, or it is arranged to move a little beyond the position of perpendicular thrust in which case it is held up by the thrust of the spring C until pulled down by the falling armature. A roller F<2>, projecting slightly beyond the surface of the guide F, may act as an additional detent. The brake consists of a band J connected at one end to the arm H<1> of a bell-crank H, H<1>, and at the other end to a rocking lever L, both pivoted at K, the rocking lever A being pivoted to a pin B on the arm H of the bell-crank and to a pin A<1> on the lever L. Stops are provided on the arm H and the lever L to engage abutments M, one or other taking the thrust according to the direction of rotation of the brake drum. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which a tension spring C connected to the lever A at A' acts upon the outer end of the lever A through a link E, the free end of which is guided, preferably by a link N. The brake is released by an armature G', which raises the lever A against a stop arranged to enable the lever A to assume a position just above or below alinement with the Jink E. A compression spring, acting on the outer end of the link N, may replace the spring C. The brake band J is connected at A' to the lever A, and at P to an arm P<1> of a bellcrank P<1>, P<3>, to which the lever A is pivoted at B. The pins A', P act against stops M, M', according to the direction of rotation of the drum.
