Granted: 1909-06-10
Abstract: 26,617. Beilharz, G. Dec. 8. Aerial machines without aerostats; aeroplanes; cars; propelling; steering. -The body of the machine consists of upper and lower oval sections a, b which are hinged or bolted together. The upper section supports curved aeroplanes v, mounted on a rotary transverse spindle and outstanding laterally like birds' wings. Front and rear adjustable propellers d, f propel the machine, each propeller shaft e<1>, g<1> being provided with a universal joint e<2>, g<2>. The front propeller shaft e<1> rotates in a bearing block i, Fig. 4, which is carried on a vertical spindle o guided in a frame h. The lower end of the spindle is screw-threaded and is engaged by an internally threaded chain-wheel p, which is rotated by a chain 15 to raise or lower the propeller shaft. The rear propeller shaft is similarly mounted, except that the frame h<1> is horizontal and the propeller shaft is adjusted in an horizontal plane by the chain-wheel p<1>. The chain 14 for adjusting the rear propeller is operated through bevel-wheels 10, 11 by a shaft 8 passing through a hollow spindle 5 and provided with a hand-wheel 9. The hollow spindle 5 is rotated by a hand-wheel 7, and is provided with a pulley 6 connected by a chain 16 with pulleys 2, 1, screwed on a threaded spindle 3, the pulley 1 engaging the chain 15 for adjusting the propeller d. The spindle 3 is connected to a transverse bar s connecting the front ends of the inner side frames r of the aeroplanes v, so that by turning the hand-wheel 9 the propeller d and the aeroplanes are adjusted simultaneously. The aeroplanes are formed of a number of curved transverse rods u, inserted in sockets in the rods r and covered with fabric. The machine is supported on wheels 17 and springs 18.

Abstract: 25,798. Waterhouse, J. H. Nov. 9. Atmospheric gas burners; oil supply fittings; burners, regulating and controlling; vaporizing-apparatus.-Compressed air for supplying the heating- burners of a steam-generator with liquid fuel is stored in a reservoir, its degree of compression varying with the speed of running of the engine. The passage of fuel to the burner is governed by a valve operated by the steam pressure in the generator. An air-pump A connected to the steam-engine B compresses air into a reservoir C, from which the compressed air is taken to work the feed-pump G and to force liquid fuel from the storage tank D through the tube K to the burners M. The passage of fuel through the tube K is governed by a valve 0, Fig. 7, operated by a diaphragm P, upon which the steam pressure in the generator presses against the resistance of a spring O<1>. The burner consists of a mixing-chamber J carrying lateral tubes J<1> which are formed with a number of fine slits upon their upper sides. Exhaust air from the motor working the feed-pump is supplied to the burner through a tube M, Fig. 5. The tube is passed along the top of the chamber J and is provided with a number of nipples m.
