Inventor: KNEEN WILLIAM
IPC: B63H23/32
Filed: 1911-02-13
Granted: 1912-05-13
Abstract: 3615. Kneen, W. Feb. 13. Bull and roller bearings.-The load on the thrust bearings of a propeller or like shaft is relieved by one or more auxiliary bearings which have a floating or arc movement. As shown in Fig. 1, the bearing consists of a pair of rollers C, pressed against a thrust collar B on the shaft by adjustable springs J or weights. The rollers are mounted in forks on bell-crank levers E, pivoted at F, the horizontal arms E<2> receiving the pressure of the springs. An adjustable stop may be provided to limit the movement of the lever E. The rollers C may run on ball or roller bearings. Fig. 5 shows a modification in which the rollers are replaced by balls N running between race rings M, M', the ring M' yielding against adjustable springs J, supported by a fixed bracket Q. The ring M' is prevented from rotating by a rod S, provided at its ends with ball-and-socket joints S<1>, S<2>. When the ring M<1> moves axially against the springs, the rod S causes it to have a small rotary movement. By employing a number of similar bearings the whole of the thrust of the shaft may be taken.
