Abstract: 25,651. Parsons, C. A. Nov. 6. Plant; reversing; driving and transmission mechanism, special applications of.-Relates to turbine installations wherein each separate turbine is designed to run at its most economical speed, the differently speeded turbines being suitably geared to drive a common shaft, as described in Specification 12,706/06, and consists in improved systems of this type suitable for marine propelling-plant. In certain cases, some of the turbines are directly coupled to the shafts, and, in other cases, some or all of the turbines transmit their power through double reduction gearing. In a two-shaft installation, two sets of turbines A, B, C, Figs. 1 and 2, are used. Each turbine is mounted on a separate shaft a, carrying a pinion b, which engages a large wheel c mounted upon the propeller shaft d. Astern turbines D are incorporated in the same casings as the low-pressure turbines C. In a modification, the high-pressure turbines A, Fig. 3, the intermediate-pressure turbines B, and the astern turbines D drive through reduction gearing, the low-pressure turbines C being mounted directly upon the propeller shafts. In a further modification, each of the two sets of turbines A, B, C, Fig. 7, drives a shaft d through reduction gearing, while the cruising turbines E are geared to the shafts of the turbines C, thus driving the propeller shafts through a double reduction gearing. In a further modification, suitable for low-speed vessels with a single propeller, the whole of the turbines A, B, C, F, Fig. 11, drive the shaft d through double reduction gearing. Other modifications are described. Elements which are at times out of action may be provided with suitable clutches, or may be made to run in the condenser vacuum.

Abstract: 8326. Wendtland, A. April 4, 1910, [Convention date]. Aerial machines without aerostats.-An aerial machine is propelled by a rotary blower and supported by the compressed air or gas expelled by the blower. The gas is led by means of a pipe and discharged below the front edge of the supporting-planes. A separate propeller and a blower may be used, the air from the propeller being taken by the blower through a tube with a wide bore. The blower may be replaced by a device for the release of gases, chemically or mechanically. Planes; arrangement of.- The planes comprise main planes, 19, 20, tail plane 21 and balancing-planes 22, 23 arranged laterally. Propelling.-In the form shown horizontal propulsion of the machine is effected by the conical rotary blower 5 which draws in air from the front of the machine and expels it through the pipe 7 with oval outlet 14 which is divided by a central partition. A pivoted flap inside the pipe, controlled by a pendulum 18, causes the gas to escape through one side of the orifice when the machine tilts. The flap may be operated manually. A semicircular screen 8 in two parts is adapted to slide in guides 9 so as to cut off all or a part of the air at the front of the blower. By this means the forward propulsion may be checked or stopped, air reaching the fan from the sides. An ordinary propeller and separate blower with a tube between may be used, the air from the propeller passing through the tube to the blower. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that the compressed air may be obtained by the use of vessels filled with compressed gases, say oxygen, or by the explosive action of " expelled air or gas mix- " tures." This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted. Steering and balancing.-Automatic balancing is effected by the expulsion of air under one side of the machine only. The air-conduit pipe 7 is divided at the orifice, and the branch on the raised side of the machine is closed by a flap when the machine tilts. The flap is controlled by a pendulum 18 or by hand. Lateral balancing- planes 22, 23 are provided, and a tail plane 21.
