f Be it known thatl, LUDWIG O BRY,.engi7 neer, a citizen of the Empire of AustriaHun'- provements Ain 'and Connected -with- ,GyroL scopes or Gyroscopic Steering Mechanism for particularly to the gyroscope forming part of the said apparatus, but'is applicable-also toY 'x5 gyroscopic mechanism for other purposes. `Theiecompanyi'ng drawing is partlyaplan" and partly ahorizontal section of a gyroseope embodying my invention.
As'shown by the drawing, the conical ends.I balls .t, held in vadzo of the axle r run on i ju'stable blocks or plugs T; each of the said plugs beng screwed radially into the gimbalringq and 4having in its face a cup-shaped 'cavity adapted to receive the balls.
after adjustment, the gimbal-ring q is slotted at-the right and left ofeach bore, serving to receive'on'e-of the said. plugs., and screws v residing'at- Triest, Austria-Hungary, 5 'have inventedcertainmewand .useful Im.
In order that the plugs T may be held fast extend across the-parts which havebeenseparatediby the slots, by means of which 'screws 3o the: said parts may` be drawn .together 'after the plugsT have been adjusted. By this improvement the timqduring which the heavy mass R 'continues' `revolve, and" consequently the. time during hich 'the gy. 35 roscope remains undercontrol of .its steering.' 'capaeity, is much increased` l What I- claim as my inve tion, and desire: to secure by Letters Patent, is-YJ The combination wlth a. gmbal-ring pro- 4o-V vjdefl at -dimetrically-opposite points with bores, and being slotted on each'side. of said bores, of plugs seated in the bores, and have ing-ball-races, a rotatable body R within* the' i ring and having bearing ends projecting into 45' the cavities of the plugsy forming the. hall-v races, balls arranged in said cavities fand -upon which the hearing ends of bodyRbar, and means for clamping -the slott'iedf.parte'ofI the ring and securing the plugs, in positio; 5o' In witness whereof I have hereunto set my l. hand in presence of two witnesses LUDWIG".
