Abstract

22,440. Sopwith Aviation Co., and Sigrist, F. Nov. 12. Planes, construction and arrangement of.-In aeroplanes having wings which can be folded backwards into a position parallel to the body of the machine to reduce the bulk, the cords for drawing the wings into the extended position are wound on the same drum, so that both wings are moved simultaneously. A bayonetjoint is provided for securing the wings in the extended position. The wings are pivoted at C, C', and the operating-cords I, J are wound on a drum F rotated by worm gear G, H. The spars A, A<1> are fitted with a head having flanges K<2>, K<3> which enter a socket having overhanging lips L, L'. By the rotation of the socket through an angle of 90 degrees, the lips engage the flanges, and the wing is secured in the extended position. The sockets of the upper and lower wings are secured to rods N, which are connected by links so that the whole of the wings may be locked or released simultaneously.
