Title: Improvements in Floating Structures having Gas Generating Chambers.
Inventor: GOODYEAR NELSON
IPC: B63B22/16
Filed: 1909-04-19
Granted: 1910-04-14
Abstract: 9227. Goodyear, N. April 19. Buoys.-Relates to improvements in buoys and other floating structures fitted with apparatus for generating gas, such as acetylene, of the type in which the feed of the carbide directly into the gas-generating chamber is controlled by a valve or other means operated directly by a float in the said chamber. The carbide is fed from the hopper F into the generating-chamber J by means of a valve K, which is connected to the annular float G by mechanism similar to that described in Specification 18,948/03, [Class 54, Gas distribution]. The valve-operating mechanism and float are so arranged that they may not contact with the carbide. As the water, which enters by a small adjustable opening 24, rises in the chamber D, the float G first opens the valve K and then the stop 0 through rods s, Figs. 1 and 4, lever q, t, link v, arm x, latch g, hook h, rock-shaft R, and arm Q, and conversely when the water-level falls, the stop O closing before the valve K. In order to prevent generation of gas when the cover 4 of the hopper is opened, the hook h is disengaged from the latch g by means of a rod 13, which is raised by a bell-crank lever 11, rod 10, yoke-piece 7 and cam-surface 5 on the cover. The rod 13 may also be manually operated. Generation of gas may be commenced by depressing the rod 18, lever 17, and hook h. The gas generated passes through an opening w into the float chamber, and may be stored in the buoy in the gaseous form, or it may be absorbed by acetone. The hopper F and the tube J may be disconnected from the buoy, and the hopper from the tube J, by removing bolts c, d respectively. The valve seat may be removably attached by bolts.

Title: Means for Improving the Stability of Aeroplanes.
Inventor: WILDEBLOOD HENRY SEDDON
IPC: B64C1/00
Filed: 1910-05-07
Granted: 1911-02-02
Abstract: 11,334. Wildeblood, H. S. May 7. Balancing; planes, construction of. - Automatic lateral stability of aeroplane machines is obtained by providing at opposite sides of the machine balancing - planes A B, C D, Figs. 1 and 3, which are rigid at their outer edges A, D but are otherwise flexible vertically to a limited extent, so that, when the machine encounters a side wind as represented by the arrows F, the planes are bent either upwards, Fig. 1, or downwards, Fig. 3, according to the direction of the cant of the machine, the arrangement being such that the plane at the windward side tends to lie parallel with the lateral wind, whereas the leeward plane assumes a greater incidence to the lateral wind and introduces a force P<2> which tends to right the machine. The balancing- planes instead of being separate planes may be constituted by the lateral extremities of the main planes, and this may be accomplished, for example, by shaping the main plane in plan as shown in Fig. 4, the front edge A B C being made rigid and the remainder flexible. The wing tips, which may be slightly bent upwards, serve to improve the fore-and-aft stability of the machine.
