Title: Improvements in or relating to Means for Ensuring the Balance or Stability of Flying Machines.
Inventor: CAREY HIRZEL DENIS DE MUSSENDE
IPC: B64C3/48
Filed: 1910-09-16
Granted: 1911-08-31
Abstract: 6647. Carey, H. D. de M. Sept. 16, 1910. Balancing.-In order to counteract the disturbance of the equilibrium of a flying-machine which would ordinarily be produced by the occurrence of any difference of air pressure at the opposite lateral and longitudinal extremities of the machine, stabilizing surfaces or fans are geared together in pairs arranged at the opposite extremities so as to be affected by such changes of air pressure before the main supporting-surfaces, the effect produced on such stabilizing - devices being used for restoring balance by adjusting automatically sliding or pivoted sections provided on the main or tail planes. Fig. 5 shows stabilizing-planes S<1>, S<2> set in front and behind a main plane ,A and connected to rods a which slide in guides and are formed with teeth gearing with opposite sides of a rotary shaft d. Cords g<1>, g<2> oppositely wound on the ends of the shaft d are connected, for example, to sliding sections f, Figs. 5 and 9, provided at the rear of the main plane, so that difference in pressure on the planes S<1>, S<2> produces an automatic adjustment of the sections f to right the machine. Fig. 16 shows a pair of planes S<3>, S<4> arranged at opposite sides of the main plane and adapted to operate sliding sections f<3>, f<4> for lateral balance. When balancing is effected by adjusting the incidence of sections of the main plane or the tail plane, a relay is preferably used. Figs. 14 and 15 show a relay device for adjusting a tail-plane T. The movement of the stabilizing-planes is used to slide a block having oppositely inclined portions n<1>, n<2> engaging blocks m<1>, m<2>, which are connected to friction plates k<1>, k<2> arranged above and below a drum j<1> which is continuously rotated by subsidiary power. Normally, the upper plates k<1> are kept in contact with the drum j<1>, as shown; but when the block is moved so as to bring one of the inclines n<1>, n<2> into operation, one of the lower plates k<2> is brought into gear with the drum, whereupon the tailplane is operated through rack-and-pinion gearing t and oppositely - wound cords v<1>, v<2>. A similar relay device may be used for operating the lateral sliding sections, Fig. 16. In a modification, the stabilizing-planes may be fixed and provided at the rear with fans, the rotation of which is then used to operate the balancing- planes. Planes, construction of.-The main plane A is of stream-line cross-section as shown in Fig. 1, and, in plan, has the rear part cut away at the centre and provided with sliding sections f, f<3>, f<4> as shown in Figs. 9 and 16. The stabilizing- planes are also of stream-line section in the line of flight, and are shaped in plan as shown in Fig. 3, the lateral edges being bent slightly downwards.

Granted: 1912-02-08
Abstract: 20,486. Nõher, W., and M³ller, K. Sept. 29, 1910, [Convention date]. Hydrogen.-Water-gas free from nitrogen and rich in hydrogen is made by first firing and blasting the coke in a producer until the temperature rises to about 1000‹C., then closing the generator so that it can be evacuated, whereby the temperature falls to say 800‹ C., and then blowing in superheated steam. The water-gas, which in an example is stated to contain 60 per cent of hydrogen, 18 per cent of carbon monoxide, and 22 per cent of carbon dioxide, is washed, freed from dust, and, after the addition of more superheated steam, is passed over a contact-mass consisting of asbestos carrying rhodium or palladium, maintained at about 800‹ C. to convert the carbonic oxide into carbonic acid. After several passages over the contact mass, the product is freed from carbonic acid by any suitable means, for instance by lime, soda, or potash lye. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) mentions also the use as catalyst of any metal of the platinum group; this subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Reciprocating - punch machines. - Relates to hand-operated machines for punching tune-sheets, of the kind in which the paper strip is adjustably supported, and a die and a punch below and above the strip are adjustable across the strip. The die-bar 13 and the punch-bar 15 are adjustable both across and endwise of the paper strip 4, and are positioned endwise of the strip by means of a fixed time-chart 24, and across the strip by means of a note-chart 20 movable with the die and punch endwise of the paper. The strip of paper is only adjusted after a complete bar has been punched. The die-bar 13 is slidable in a guideway 6, which in turn is slidable in tracks 5 at right-angles to the guideway. The die-bar is moved transversely by means of a handle 19, and is positioned by means of a detent-pin 22 controlled by a thumb-piece 23 and adapted to engage notches in the lower edge of the note-chart 20. It is moved in the longitudinal tracks 5 by means of a handle 26, on which is pivoted an arm carrying a detent pin 27. which is controlled by a thumb-piece 28, and is adapted to engage notches in the lower edge of the fixed time-chart 24. The paper is led from a roll 2 beneath guide-strips 7 to a roll 3, and is held against accidental movement by spring brake-blocks 8 engaging end-flanges on the rolls 2, 3. A spring nipper 11 engaging the edge of the paper is slidable upon a bar 10. In operation, by means of the handle 19, the detent-pins 22, 27 are brought into engagement with the required notches of the note-chart 20 and the time-chart 24. The punch 16 is reciprocated, the length of the note being determined by moving the die and punch lengthways of the strip, while operating the punch, until the detent 27 engages the desired notch in the time-chart. When all the notes of a bar have been punched in this way, the paper is advanced one bar. To do this, the punching system is moved until the detent-pin 27 engages with the 8th notch of the time-chart 24, if there are 8 notes in a bar; the nipper 11 is pressed open and moved into contact with a supporting- post of the note-chart, and an adjustable stop 12 is brought up against it. The detent-pin is then brought into the first notch of the timechart, and the'paper wound on the roll 3 until the nipper 11 again comes in contact with the post.
