Abstract: 19,430. Anderson, J. Aug. 18. Current motors.-In paddle-wheels or windsails applicable for windmills, air-ships, &c., the blades are irregularly rotated about their axes by suitable feathering-mechanism whereby the driven blades are situated radially and the other blades are tangential. The blades f, Figs. 1 and 2, are freely mounted on spindles e, which are driven from a fixed sprocket g and carry arms l. Upon each arm are short axles m, which are rotated by spur gearing o, Fig. 2, meshing with a pinion n fixed to the radial arm d. From the axle m, links p, q, eccentrics, &c. pass to the blades f to give them their motion. The gearing is arranged so that the axles m revolve once for each revolution of the complete paddlewheel. The apparatus may be in duplicate and mounted at both ends of each spindle. In modifications, an additional rod may be used to connect the blade with the rod q, the joining- pin being arranged to slide in a guide on the arm d, or a motion-magnifying linkage may be interposed between the link q and the blade. In one form the blade has an outstanding bracket to which the link is attached. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 11, the chain from the sprocket g also drives a sprocket 1, on the spindle of which is a pinion 3 geared to a pinion 4 on the spindle e. Eccentrics 5, integral with the pinion 4, have rods 6 which move a lever pivoted on a short axle on the arm l, the lever being also connected by the rod 8 with the blade f. As shown in Fig. 13, a bevel-wheel 9 drives the spindle e and arm l, and also drives the bevel-wheel 11 and the eccentric 15, the eccentric operating the feathering-linkage. Any number of sets of blades, each set with its own feathering - devices, may be mounted on the wheel-like frame.
