Abstract: 445,202. Aircraft controls. DUNLOP RUBBER CO., Ltd., 32, Osnaburgh Street, Euston Road, London, GOODYEAR, E. F., c/o Dunlop Rubber Co., Ltd., Foleshill, Coventry, WRIGHT, J., and TREVASKIS, H., c/o Dunlop Rubber Co., Ltd., Fort Dunlop, Birmingham. Oct. 4, 1934, Nos. 28399/34 and 11488 /35. [Class 4] Fluid-pressure controls for gyroplanes comprise a plurality of valves collectively or selectively operated and which, when actuated prior to flight, control application of the wheelbrakes and actuation of the clutch in the rotor drive and when actuated for take-off release the wheel brakes and prevent engagement of the clutch. As shown, the rotor control lever is locked inoperative by a lever 31. The wheel brakes are controlled from a master - cylinder 2 through a non-return valve 15 and the rotor brake and clutch are controlled from a master-cylinder 2 through non-return valves 20, 22 and 24, 26 respectively. Prior to take-off the wheel-brakes may be released by actuation of a control 19 which unseats the valve 15. Actuation of the lever 66 expels fluid to unseat the valve 20, but owing to the valve 22 this fluid cannot pass to the rotor brake; fluid, however, lifts the valve 24 and as the valves 20, 26 are positively held unseated, when a lever 12 is in the position shown, fluid passes to actuate the clutch. For take-off, deflection of the lever 31 releases the rotor control lever and tensions a cable 33 against the action of a spring 64 to rock a crank 56 and free the lever 12. The lever 12 is then lowered and is maintained in its lowered position by a spring- influenced catch 67 which is released when the lever 31 is again actuated to lock the lever. Lowering the lever 12 releases the tension in an element 11 and causes movement of levers 29, 41, which are connected by a spring 40, under the action of a spring 45. Movement of the lever 29, through plates 38, unseats the valve 15 and releases the wheel-brakes whilst movement of the lever 41 through similar plates unseats the valves 25, 22 allowing the valves 20, 26 to seat, prevent application of the clutch and to permit of actuation of the rotor brake. Return movement of the lever 12 unseats the valves 20, 26. According to the first Provisional Specification, pedals situated on the rudder bar operate the clutch and wheel brake mastercylinders and a lever operates the mastercylinder of the rotor brake. Valves provided in the various pipe lines are interconnected with the controls to prevent simultaneous application of the rotor brake and clutch, and to prevent application of the landing wheelbrakes and the clutch in flight. A dashpot is provided to prevent sudden closure of the clutch.
