Title: Improvements in Aerial Propellers.
Inventor: SUNGUROFF EUGENE
IPC: B64C11/00
Filed: 1909-10-05
Granted: 1910-08-18
Abstract: 22,706. Sunguroff, E. Oct. 5. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Propelling.-In rotary aerial propellers of the type comprising a number of extensible surfaces connected to a rotating frame in such a manner that they can be fully extended during their descending movement and closed during their ascending movement by the rotation of the frame, the surfaces are entirely mounted on the rotating frame so as to move between pairs of axes mounted in the frame and connected by gearing. In the form shown, a cross-shaped frame g, which is mounted to rotate on a fixed shaft b having a cranked portion c, is provided with sets of rollers l, n, to the former of which are attached surfaces m provided with flexible connexions o attached to the other rollers n. The rollers n are connected to spiral springs r, and also to flexible connexions, such as ropes p, which pass over guide-pulleys g<1> and are connected to a pulley q mounted on the crank c. The pairs of rollers l, n are further connected by chain gearing s. During the rotation of the frame g, the surfaces become extended during the downstroke and closed during the upstroke, in the manner shown. In a modification, the springs r are dispensed with, and the required movement of the surfaces is obtained by connecting opposed rollers l by chain gearing, the cords p being attached to rods which are secured to the chains s. There may be more than four surfaces, and in such case, more than one pulley q may be provided for the attachment of the operating-cords.

Abstract: 2657. Boult, A. J., [Palmowsky, S.]. Feb. 2. Cigarette-tipping machines.-In a cigarettetipping machine, cork paper is fed into the machine through tensioned feeding - means, pasted, and severed, and the severed portions are fed beneath the cigarette and wrapped about the end of the cigarette by lever arms. The cork 67, Fig. 1, from the roll 105, passes a dust-remover 107 thence between spring-controlled feeding-rolls 109, 112 over a weighted regulating-roller 112<a> to the pasting-roll 114. The cork is then fed to the shears by rolls 115, 116 and by a finger 65 and a table, both of which are reciprocated by means of a cam. The cigarette, which is fed on to the tipping-table in any suitable manner, is positioned longitudinally by a plunger 102, and the severed portion of the cork is fed below the end of the cigarette by means of fingers 55, 56, Fig. 3, and is pressed up against the cigarette by a pivoted jaw 98. The ends of the cork are then pressed around the cigarette by cam-actuatted arms 125, 126, one of which is slightly longer than the other, and finally the seam is pressed and smoothed by a roller 85 which sweeps over it.

Abstract: 3517. Teitge, G. Feb. 12. Carburetting. - In an air-gas plant of the kind in which air is pumped into an air-holder and passes thence through a meter which drives the hydrocarbon supply apparatus, a hot-air engine 5 drives an air-pump 6, which forces air into a holder 4. In the highest position of the holder 4, air is allowed to escape at 9. The air passes from the holder 4 through pipes 12, 13 to a meter 16, the spindle of which is connected through gearing 21 with a chain of buckets 24, which raise hydrocarbon from a chamber 15 and forward it through a funnel and pipe to below the surface of the water in the meter 16. The air passing through the meter is carburetted by the hydrocarbon floating on the surface of the water. The carburetted air escapes through a mixing-chamber 16<a> and a pipe 32. Water of condensation collects in a chamber 34 into which the meter 16 may also overflow through a pipe 36, and funnel 37. When the apparatus is not working the holder 4 may be held in the raised position by means of a stop 38. The whole apparatus may be made in one structure.

Abstract: 20,449. Wurl, M. O. Feb. 26, 1912. Exhaust, treating.- Relates to valve-gear for diverting the exhaust fluid from a reversible reciprocating engine either to a turbine or to a condenser. The reversing-shaft a<11> of a reciprocating engine is directly linked to the rod a' of the valve a, which thereby connects the exhaust passage a<2> of the reciprocating engine either with the turbine inlet a' or with the condenser inlet a<3>, according to whether the engine is set for forward or reverse working. The turbine may also be cut out in forward working by adjusting the position of the valve a on its rod a'. This adjustment may be effected by providing the valve rod with a screw portion d engaging the valve boss, so that by rotating the valve-rod by means of a hand-wheel d<2>, the valve is traversed along its stem to effect the desired connexion. The adjustment may be made from a distance either by an electrically-operated step-by-step motor, or by means of fluid pressure controlled by a cock c, Fig. 2, which conducts boiler and condenser pressures to the opposite sides of a piston b<1> secured to a stem b carried by the valve a, which is thereby adjusted relatively to the rod a'.
