Abstract: 20,606. Evans, L. T. G. Sept. 3, 1909. Aerial machines without aerostats; planes. arrangement and construction of; steering.- Relates to an aerial machine in which steering is effected by planes, and balancing is effected by automatically adjusting the centre of gravity, as is described in Specification 20,232/09, and consists in means for adjusting the area of the supporting-surfaces to correspond with the speed of the machine. The main supporting-surface 2 is formed of two planes inclined upwardly toward one another. At the front and rear of the surface 2 are pairs of pivoted elevating- planes 38, 57, and one or more elevating-planes 41 extend across the frame 36. Frames 54 extend from the sides of the surface 2, and carry adjustable planes 55 pivoted to the sides of the plane. The frames 54 and the front and rear frames carry extensible surfaces 62, which are mounted on spring rollers 61 and unwound by cords 64. The cords may be actuated by the longitudinal movement of the motor, which adjusts the centre of gravity of the machine, as described in the Specification before-mentioned. Instead of extensible sheets 62, surfaces may be carried in frames, and adapted to slide over fixed surfaces in order to vary the area. Below the supporting-surface 2 is a deck 77, Fig. 3, formed with a number of apertures provided with valves which can be opened and closed to alter the supporting-effect of the deck. Parachutes.-The extensible surfaces 62 may be moved into a vertical position to act as a parachute.

Title: Improvements in Propellers for Aerial, Marine, and other Vessels.
Inventor: JONES OSWALD CHARLES
IPC: B63H1/20
Filed: 1911-08-30
Granted: 1912-07-11
Abstract: 19,378. Jones, O. C. Aug. 30. Propelling by vibrating plates or fins. - Propellers for aerial, marine, and other vessels having oscillating blades moving in a figure-ofeight curve are constructed with one or more blades, each being rigid at the leading edge and flexible at the following edge. Each blade is attached to the shaft by a knuckle joint, and is feathered and actuated on the driving stroke by a spring. The blade a, Fig. 1, with rigid leading edge b and flexible trailing edge c, is attached at the shank d by means of a knucklejoint e to the driving-spindle. An arm i, rigidly mounted on the spindle, is oscillated by any suitable means. The spring g is secured to the frame at g<1> and to a loose sleeve h on the shank d. When the arm i moves down along the arc 1, the blade in its feathered position moves along the arc 2 until the spring overcomes the friction of the knuckle-joint, whereupon the blade is suddenly pulled down in a diagonal direction, its flat surface performing the working stroke. The arm i then moves back along the are 1, and the blade moves in a similar manner along the arc 3, and so on. The spring may bear against a cam in order to produce the critical tension at the correct time.

Granted: 1912-10-09
Abstract: 22,218. Gilbert, W. V. Oct. 9. Operating doors by lever mechanism. - Relates to means for closing and locking a porthole of a ship or any other orifice of the kind comprising a carrier, mounted to turn axially, a locking - member mounted on the carrier and adapted to turn in a plane at an angle to that in which the carrier turns and engage locking-parts on the device, and means for turning the locking-member in one plane and then to swinging the closing- piece clear of the orifice by turning the carrier in another plane. The locking - member is adapted to engage a guide which retains the locking-member in fixed relation to the carrier until the device is free to turn clear of the orifice. The frame b<1> of the porthole a hinges on a pin b<1> and carries a locking-ring c provided with rollers c<1> engaging cam-surfaces a<1> on the ship's hull. The ring c is rotated by means of the lever d', which is first turned to release the rollers c<1> and may then be rotated about the pin d<2> to open the porthole. The locking-ring c is further provided with a projection c<2>, which on rotation of the ring c engages a guide h<1> on the stationary part of the hinge. When the ring c has moved sufficiently to disengage the rollers c<1>, the projection c<2> is then opposite the groove h, and the light may then be opened about the hinge. In a modification, the carrier may be arranged to slide along supports, and the lever and link may be provided with keyways whereby they may be readily detachable in certain open positions.

Title: Improvements in the Lighting and Regulating of Electric Arc Lamps.
IPC: H05B31/00
Filed: 1911-11-11
Granted: 1912-02-08
Abstract: 25,138. HarlÚ et Cie. Nov. 12, 1910, [Convention date]. Arc lamps. - Current throngh an electric motor regulating the electrodes of a search-light or other lamp is controlled by an electro-magnet e, which has one winding f in shunt to the electrodes and another g in shunt to the armature of the motor. The armature of the electromagnet is acted on by a spring and, when the arc pressure is above or below normal, connects the motor d across a resistance or k through a contact i<1> or i<2>, the motor then running in the direction required for regulation. If the motor runs too fast, the current in the winding g opposes or assists the winding f sufficiently to open the circuit at i<1> or i<2> and if necessary to reverse the current through the motor. The circuit of the winding f may be extended and provided with a switch at a distant point, and the circuit of the resistance j then contains an electro-magnetic switch which is closed by the action of the whole or a part of the arc current. When the distant switch is opened, the electromagnet e is de-energized, and the motor is connected up so as to separate the electrodes and break the arc, the circuit through the resistance j being then opened so that the motor stops. On closing the distant switch, the motor is connected up so as to bring the electrodes into contact, and the circuit through the resistance j is closed again.

Granted: 1913-10-09
Abstract: 27,721. Gal, J. M. Dec. 2. Blocks and shoes; blocks acting on drums. -In a roller brake for vehicles and machines of all 1 kinds, a roller adapted to engage the part to be braked is itself braked internally by a member designed so that the friction between the braking-member and roller is always less than that between the roller and the part being braked, so that rotation of the roller is maintained during the whole braking action and, in the case of vehicles, skidding is prevented. In the example shown, a hollow roller a of leather, camel hair, an asbestos composition, &c. rotates on bushes r carried by a non-circular bolt d, which is secured to a forked operating-part z and carries an internal brake member g, h of leather, fibre, asbestos composition, resilient metal, &c. When the fork z is actuated, the roller a is first brought into contact with the rotating part, and then the bolt d moves in radial slots s in the bushes r against the force of springs c, thereby bringing the member g, h into contact with the inside of the roller. The braking pressure is limited by pins v on the bolt d or bushes r, or by abutments provided on the lever operating the fork z.
