Abstract

944,504. Air cushion vehicles. HOVERCRAFT DEVELOPMENT Ltd. March 21, 1960 [March 23, 1959], No. 34407/63. Divided out of 944,502. Heading B7K. The subject matter of this Specification, which is concerned with means for varying the position of the centre of pressure of a supporting air cushion relative to the vertical axis through the centre of gravity of a vehicle, as described with reference to Figs. 1-5 is substantially the same as the equivalent matter described in Specification 944,502. Apparatus for displacing a fluid curtain, and thereby the centre of pressure of a cushion, comprises a slidable flat plate 72, Fig. 6a, having a narrow port 73 mounted over a wide opening in the base of the vehicle. In Fig. 7a the jet curtain passes through an annular nozzle 76 which may be flexible or constructed as a series of separate nozzles, the walls of the nozzle being adjustable about pivots 78, 79 to vary the lateral inclination of the jet. Since a vertical curtain will be weaker than an inclined one, provision may be made to widen the nozzle as it rotates. Specifications 854,211, 893,715, 894,644, 895,341 and 944,503 also are referred to.
