Abstract

637,238. Variable-pitch propellers. ROTOL, Ltd., and DANVERS, E. Jan. 20, 1947, 1814. [Class 114] In a variable-pitch propeller 5 wherein each blade 6 is mounted for pitch-change movements on an anti-friction bearing 10 clamped to the blade root 18 between a shoulder 19 thereon and the flange 12 of a member 13 secured to the blade root, a race 9 of the bearing 10 is screwed directly into the hub boss 7 of the propeller and held stationary therein. The member 13 may be screwed into the blade root 18 and the flange 12 arranged to engage directly the lower race 11 of a two row tapered roller bearing 10. Relative rotation between the lower race 11 and the flange 12 and the blade root 18 may be prevented by means of tooth fastenings 14 and 22 respectively and blade movement achieved by oscillating a pin 27 secured to the lower race 11 and actuated as by a hydraulic piston and connecting rod 25. The central race 9 of the bearing may be locked in the hub boss by a tooth fastening 30, 31.
