Title: Improvements in mooring gear for airships
IPC: B64F1/14
Filed: 1925-05-20
Abstract: 258,317. Richmond, V. C., and Scott, G. H. May 20, 1925. Anchoring.-In mooring gear for an airship comprising a mooring mast and side guys for controlling the airship while it is being hauled up to the mast by a mast line, the side guys are arranged to permit lateral movement of the airship in the early stages of the mooring operation and to prevent such movement in the final stage. As shown in Fig. 1 (Prov.) the mooring mast M is of the kind described in Specification 178,568 and fixed anchor parts a for the side guys s are arranged in a circle with the mast as centre. The side' guys s are led through blocks fixed to a pair of anchor points a selected symmetrically to leeward of the mast, and are attached each to a movable block b. A ground line c is attached at one end to a fixed anchor point d (which may be located at any point along the length of the mast M, or at any radius from the mast base), is rove through the blocks b and through a. block at the point d, and then passes to a winch W. The triangle e formed by the line c is distortable under lateral movements of the nose N of the ship. As the mast line f is hauled in and as the side guys s are taken in by the ground line c, the area of the triangle e is diminished until the blocks b meet at the point d and any further lateral movement is prevented. Double or multiple purchases or mechanical advantages may be interposed bebetween the points bd, Na, ab, bb or dW to alter the relative rates of haul or lengths of line. In the modification shown in Fig. 1 (Comp), the side guys S are led through movable blocks Band fairleads on the mast M to winches W. A bridle d passes through the blocks B and is fixed at each end to anchor points a 120‹ apart relative to the mast and located on the ground, or at the ends of two booms together rotatable about the mast M. The bridle d forms a quadrilateral which in the first.stages of mooring is distortable to allow lateral movement of the airship nose N since an angle of less than 180‹ is made by the guys s and the side legs of the bridle d. When the mast line and guys s are hauled in and the nose approaches the top of the mast, the guys s come into alignment with the side legs of the bridle d thereby preventing any further lateral movement of the airship nose N. Specification 179,439 also is referred to.

[Class 80 (ii).] A clutch device to enable the driving shaft 13 of the web-feeding, cutting, &c. devices to be uncoupled from the driving-shaft 1 of an intaglio printing-cylinder when desired and recoupled in correct register, comprises a member 15 interposed between two coupling members 3, 14 and resiliently connected to the member 14, the member 3 being adapted to be coupled to the member 15 by a registering clutchelement, and to the member 14 by driving clutch-elements. The members 3, 14 are fixed to the shafts 1, 13 respectively and the member 15 is rotatably mounted on the shaft 13 and connected to the member 14 by springs 27 extending between studs 25, 26. Pivoted spring-pressed clutch-elements 4, 5, 6 are mounted on the member 3 and can be moved to uncoupling position, as shown in Fig. 1, by a lever-operated sleeve 28. When the elements 4, 5, 6 are released by the sleeve to couple the stationary shaft 13 to the rotating shaft 1, the short element 4 drops into deep slots 16, 17 in the members 3, 15 when the slots register, thus causing the member 15 to be rotated relatively to the member 14 until shallow slots 18 .. 23 in the members 3, 14, 15 are in register when the elements 5, 6 drop into the slots and couple the shafts 1, 13. The springs 27 cause the shaft 13 to be started without shock, and stops 29 .. 32 on the members 14, 15 limit the relative movement between the members to that necessary for the slots to register. The member 3 may be dispensed with if some other support is provided on the shaft for the clutch-elements 4, 5, 6. The coupling may be operated with the shaft 13 as the driving shaft. Also, by providing additional grooves 17, 19, 21, additional coupling positions for each revolution may be obtained. Instead of the members 14, 15, 16 being in disc form as shown, they may be formed as concentric cylinders and the clutch-elements adapted to engage the edges of the cylinders.
