Granted: 1910-12-15
Abstract: 29,372. Wilson, J. W. Jan. 2, [Convention date]. Aerial machines without aerostats; steering; and balancing.-The machine comprises a car frame flexibly suspended from an upper frame carrying the planes and propellers so that the frames may be moved relatively to each other for vertical steering and balancing. Lateral steering and balancing is effected by rotating some or all of the planes about oblique axes. According to one construction, Fig. 1, the car frame is suspended by a link 4 pivoted at 15 and 17 respectively to the two frames, and adjustment is effected by a cord 46 which passes around a number of pedal-operated windlasses 42 ... 45. To give rigidity to the structure when on the ground, a locking-device is provided for the lower pivot, comprising a catch 8 on the link which engages a plate 9 rigid with the lower frame. For lateral steering and balancing, the planes 350, 400 are mounted on shafts 62 oblique thereto. Rotation of these shafts causes the planes on one side to move forwards and downwards and those on the other side to move upwards and rearwards with an accompanying variation in the angle of incidence. Operation of the planes is effected by either of a series of handle-bars 57 through the shafts 53, 201, 68. The shaft 201 is provided with a universal joint to allow the relative movement of the upper and lower frames. The front handle-bar 57 is connected to the steering-wheel 48 and operates the shaft 53 by the pulley 49 and cord 50. In a modification a simple pivotal connexion between the upper and lower frames replaces the link 4. In this form the handle-bars 100 of the steering- wheel 43 which operate the lateral balancing and steering planes by cord 90 and pulley 89 can also be rotated in bearings 98 to effect the relative movement of the upper and lower frames. Planes, arrangement and construction of.- Fixed planes 450 extend from the upper frame in addition to the adjustable one 350, 400. The latter are mounted on the framing 61 which is carried by the shafts 62 by means of hinged clamps 101 having bolts 103. The ribs 70 of the planes pass through the clamps as shown. Cars.-The car frame is suspended from the plane frame by the link 4 or by a single pivot. It may be provided with a number of seats as shown with a control handle-bar and pedals adjacent to each. Propelling. -The propellers 33, 34, 35 are arranged above the planes on the pivoted upper frame of the machine. In a modification, they are driven by pedals which are also geared to the rear land wheel. Starting.-The machine may be kept upon the ground when running along preparatory to starting by tilting the upper frame in such a manner as to incline the planes downwardly towards the front. Aerial machines adapted to travel also on land.-The rear wheels 25, 26 are geared to the propeller motors 19 by shaft 20 and gear-wheels 21. In a modification, there is a single rear wheel geared to the pedals, which also drive the propeller.

Inventor: DERAIN LOUIS GEORGES
IPC: B21C25/00
Filed: 1910-05-27
Granted: 1911-05-25
Abstract: 28,867. Derain, L. G., and Mallison, G. May 27. Squirting.-In extrusion presses for tubular articles of any section, the mandrel has a head, which is connected to the plunger so that a shoulder occupying the full area of the clearance between the mandrel and cylinder always acts on the rear of the ingot, and thus prevents metal from penetrating between the mandrel and the plunger, but allows the plunger to be withdrawn separately in case the mandrel jams in the tube. As shown in Fig. 1, the head b of the mandrel a is held by friction in a socket in a detachable piece d, which is connected to the plunger e by a right and left handed screw f. The head may be of the same diameter as the cylinder and may be socketed at its rear side to fit a correspondingly shaped detachable piece. The socket may be cylindrical, conical or cylindro-conical. For forming thick tubes the mandrel may be tubular.

Granted: 1911-09-21
Abstract: 28,973. Wirth, C., and Beck, C. Dec. 13. [Addition to 5811/09.] Wireless control of distant apparatus.-In a method of preventing hostile interference with the operation of the distributing-switch, which regulates the different controls in the manner described in the parent Specification, the tune of the receiving-system is varied at the will of the controlling-operator by varying the inductance 68 in the antenna circuit and the capacity 73 in the coherer circuit 38. The coherer controls through the relay 39 and magnet 14, the position of the distributing - arm 5, which co-operates with the fixed contacts 3 leading to the different controls (not shown). In order to change the tune of the receiving- circuits, the arm 5 is stepped round until a stud 47 on a wheel 43, gearing with the pinion 85, closes a contact 48, 49 in the circuit of a motor 51, which rotates, through a spring mechanism 54 and arm 56, the commutator-disks 67 and the condenser plate 73. When the arm 56 has turned through quarter of a revolution, it closes a contact 59, 60 in the circuit of a magnet 64, which disengages the wheel 43 from the pinion 85, whereupon the wheel is returned to its normal position by a spring 46<b>, and opens the circuit of the motor 51, thus returning the arm 56, but not the commutator 67 or condenser 73, to its normal position. Contacts 59<a>, 60<a>, 59b, 60<b>, closed by the different controls complete the circuit of the magnet 64 after each control is operated, thus preventing the cumulative action of the normal control impulses from turning the wheel 43 sufficiently to close the motor circuit. Signal lamps may be arranged in the different circuits so as to indicate to the controlling-operator the operation of the controls and the change in the tune of the receiving-circuits.

Abstract: 7060. Fiaher, E., and Peck, F. S. March 21. Jet-wheels; circular-flow type; regulating.- A turbine wheel is provided with pockets having impact surfaces of variable area. Motive fluid is admitted by ports 43, 44 to act on pockets 18 in a rotor 16, and is again returned to the pockets by a passage 46 and ports 47, 48, exhaust finally taking place through a port 45. A port 44<a> may admit low-pressure fluid to the wheel. The effective area of the impact wall 19 of each pocket is varied by a pivoted piece 20, which is connected by a link 22 and pin 24 to two disks 25, 26. These disks are mounted on a stationary eccentric 27, and are made to rotate with the shaft 15 by a key 30, so that the effective area of each impact wall is increased from the highto the low-pressure side of the wheel. This area is automatically governed by rotating the disks 25, 26 relatively to the rotor 16 by means of a fly-wheel 36 secured to a spindle 35 keyed to the piece 30, which, as shown in Fig. 1, is free to move for a limited arc in the shaft slots 31. A coiled spring 37 acts in opposition to the fly-wheel.

Abstract: 9884. Maglione, E. June 13, 1910, [Convention date]. [Addition to 9128/11.] Steering and balancing; plates, arrangement of.-In the aeroplane described in the parent Specification, having the car arranged to swing longitudinally for balancing purposes, the car is arranged to swing laterally also, so that, when the machine tilts sideways, the pendulum action of the car automatically adjusts balancing-planes hinged to the outer edges of the main planes to increase the lifting effect at the side that swings downwards, and decrease it at the other side. The aviator's seat L is carried by a bar X pivoted to uprights Q, which are adapted to swing laterally about pivots T, and are connected above and below these pivots to cables 1, 2 the other ends of which are wound in opposite directions on shafts W, which are connected by universal joints to transverse supports P. Pairs of cables 3, 4, also wound in opposite directions on the shafts W, are connected at their other ends to levers t' attached to balancing-planes V<1>, which are hinged to the outer edges of the main planes C so as to be adjustable about axes B<1> in the line of flight. When the machine swings laterally, as indicated in Fig. 4, one of the cables 1 or 2 at each side is unwound, thereby rotating the shafts W about their own axes and adjusting the planes V<1> in opposite directions, so that they take up the positions V<2> shown in Fig. 4. The wind pressure acting on the car is counterbalanced by means of a plane C<1>, which is carried at the upper end of the bars Q, and is adjustable in incidence by worm-gear D<1> and a hand-wheel E<1>.

Abstract: 10,087. Morton, W. April 26, 1910, [Convention date]. Postmarking - machines; inking - apparatus; number-printing apparatus; stopping-arrangements; printing processes. - A machine for franking postal matter, of the kind provided with means for stopping the machine after a predetermined number of markings have been obtained, and with gripping-means for holding the letters during marking to prevent more than one marking of each stamp, is constructed with a multicolour inking-apparatus which can be inserted without opening the machine, with improved locking-means, and with means for preventing fraudulent reproduction by a lithographic process of markings obtained by the machine. The letter is placed in a slot 38 in the casing, and is gripped between the marking roller 2 and an impression roll 28 carried in a plate which is pressed upwards by springs 29. The casing 1 is issued in a locked condition, and the roller 2 is fitted with an operating-crank 8 and a ratchet 7 and pawl 6 to prevent backward rotation. The roller 2 carries a marking stamp 10 with which is combined a numbering device 11 which may work back to zero, the device being set to allow of a predetermined number of actuations. A plate 4 actuates the lever 5 of the numbering device. When the predetermined number of actuations have been made, the roller 2 is locked by the projection of a spring- pressed bolt 12, which is normally held depressed by a spring-pressed pin which moves into a recess in one of the numbering wheels when zero is reached. The bolt 12 engages a plate 20 to prevent rotation of the roller. An ordinary registering device may be used on the machine, and the numbering device 10 can work forwards when the machine is used as a postpayment one. One or more inking-rollers 23 are mounted in a cage 9 on a base plate 25, which slides into the casing through an aperture 26 on to a guide plate 27. An adjustable screw in the plate 25 enters a slot in the plate 27 to allow the inking-rollers to be adjusted in position. Inks of different colours may be used, and one or more of the rollers may be supplied with a glycerine ink, or the stamp formed may be oiled by other rollers to prevent fraudulent reproduction of the stamp by any lithographic process. The numbering - device may be read through a window 33 with the aid of a mirror 34. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also an arrangement in which one or more machines with stamps of different value may be mounted together on a base-plate in such a way that each machine may be removed separately. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
