Abstract: 848,879. Steering and manoeuvring submarines and airships. AEROJET-GENERAL CORPORATION. April 18, 1957, No. 12796/57. Classes 4, 113 and 114. A hull 20 for a submarine made of plasticimpregnated glass cloth stiffened by cross members 21b and provided with a hinged transparent canopy 21 is submersible and may operate in a flooded condition when submerged. Within it, an operator sits on a seat 23 to actuate pedals 27 which through a drive wheel 28, belt or chain 29 and shaft drive wheel 36 drive directly a shaft 46 carrying a propeller 49 and indirectly through bevel gears 40, 41, a sleeve 43 surrounding the shaft 46 and carrying a contrarotating propeller 48. An electric motor coupled directly to the shaft drive wheel 36 may replace the pedal gear. In front of the operator, a control column 58 carries at its head a rotatably mounted control wheel 71 and is itself mounted near its lower end on a pivoted and rotatable joint 59. At its lower end, oppositely directed bars 60, 61, Fig. 7, are secured to it. Rotation of the steering wheel 71 about its axis rotates the column 58 through bevel gears 66, 68, the gear 66 also rotating in contrasense a gear 65 rigid on a sleeve 62 surrounding the column 58. Oppositely directed bars 63, 64 project from the bottom of the sleeve 62, above the pivoted and rotatable joint 59. Ball joints connect the ends of the upper bars 63, 64 to push rods 74, 75 respectively which vary the inclination of pivoted vanes 52, 53 projecting one from each side of the hull 20. These vanes project downwardly and outwardly from the hull preferably at about 45 degrees to the longitudinal axis thereof and make an angle of less than 180 degrees, with one another ; they are disposed aft of the hull and have a rearward sweep of about 45 degrees. Similar, forward vanes 54, 55 are connected by push rods 76, 77 to the lower bars 60, 61. In operation, pulling the steering wheel 71 towards the operator displaces the upper bars bodily backwards and the lower bars forwards, tilting upwards the forward edges of the front vanes and depressing those of the rear vanes to make the craft climb, reverse motion submerging it. Bodily rotation of the steering wheel about the column 58 causes the craft to roll and rotation of the wheel about its axis effects steering by turning opposite vanes in opposite directions. Fig. 12 shows an airship 94 with a cabin 95 and conventional propeller 96 having pairs of vanes 92, 93 arranged and operated similarly to the vanes 52, 53, 54, 55.
