FLYING-MACHINE.
To all whom it may concern: I 7 Be it known that I, Jon1v E. KAUPKE, a subject of the Czar of Russia and a leSldent of New York, borough of Brooklyn,
county of -Kings, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Flying-Machines, of whichthe following is a full, clear, and exact specification.
This invention relates more particularly to a class of air ships wherein mechanism is employed for propelling and controlling the machine in its {light through the air.
My invention has for its primary object to provide a flyin machine adapted to be elevated to any desired height in the air and capable of being propelled in various directions, the movements of which may at the same time be positively controlled; and
to provide a flying machine having a plurality-of collapsible wings so constructed and arranged as-to efliciently assist the machine in its flight and serve to govern its ascent or descent.
Another object of the invention is to provide a .light and strong flying machine which is. adapted to have the propelling parts thereof operated by a suitable motor.
A still furtherobject of the invention isto provide a flying machine or air ship which in case of accident or .me'rgency may be lowered to the ground or place of safety at a slow descent thus overcoming the danger of injuring the operator or passengers of the machine. j i
A practical embodiment bf the invent-ion is represented in the accompanying draw- 'ings forming a part of this specification in whieli siinilar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views,
the said invention being more fully described hereinafter and then pointedout in the appended claims.
In the drawing, Figure 1 is a perspective view of one form of my improved fiyin machine, Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereo Fig. 3 is a front end view of the flying machine. Fig. 4.is anenlarge'd detail frag- 1 mentarv view of the means for controlling the collapsible planes; of thefront wings.

i an enlarged detail fragmentary view of the steerin means of the flying machine;
The ody 10 of my flying machine may be of any suitable form and made of any desired material. As illustrated, the body 10 is substantially rectangular in shape and consists of two parallel arranged longitudinal rods or bars 11 and 12 which are su tably spaced apart, and at the opposed ends of eech of said rods are provided two parallel arranged vertical rods or uprights, as 13, 13 and 14, 14. Each of the vertical rods 13, 13 and 14, 14 extend for some dis- Parents a 7., 1911.'
tance underneath the rodsll and 12, and
are braced against lateral'displcement longitudinal rods, as 15 and 15.
Arranged crosswire at each of the lower ends of the vertical rods 13 and 14" is an axle 16 and 17 upon which are rotatably held wheels, as 18, 18 and 19, 19 by which the machine may travel at the required speed upon the ground before its ascent as is usual with air ships of this class.
At a suitable distance intermediate of the uprights 13, 13 and 14, 14*, are rovided vertical supporting rods 20, 20 an 21, 21' the lower ends of which are connected to .the longitudinal rods 11 and 12 respectively. Two longitudinal rods 22 and 23 corresponding to the rods 11 and 12 are connected to the upper ends of the vertical standards 13, l3=' and 14, v14*, and also to the vertical supporting rods 20, 20 and 21, 21.
Connected to the front ends of the longitudinal rods 11 and 12 is a cross. rod, as 24, and at the top of the vertical rods 13 and 13 is arranged a cross rod 25 which is of the same length as the cro$ rod 24. At the rear ends of the longitudinal rods 11 and 12 is provided a cross rod 26, and at the top of the vertical rods 14 and 14 is connected 9. cross rod 27 which is of the same length as the cross rod 26. The ends of the cross rods 24 25, 26 and 27 are connected by vertical rods, as 28, 29, 30 and 31.
Upon the longitudinal rods 11 and 12 in- 'termediate of the cross bars 24 and 26, and
at a suitable distance therefrom, are
ro- L rods 34 and 35 of a corresponding length to the cross rods 32 and 33. The ends of the cross rods 32, 34, 33nd 35 are connected by vertical rods 36, 37, 38 and 39. Theopposed ends of the cross rods 24 and 32 are connected by a bar 40and 41, and the upper ends of the cross rods 25 and 34 are connected by bars 42 and 43. Connecting the opposed ends of the cross rods 33 and 26 are bars 44 and 45, and bars 46 and- 47 likewise convnect the opposed ends of the cross bars 27 i v i and 35. By this arrangement of the framewings 50 and 51, and upon the top of eachof the wings 48 and 49 are arranged .two. curved guide rods, as 52, 52 and The curved guide rods 52, 52"and 53, 53
extend in opposite directions laterally with respect to the rectangular frame'or'bbdy 10, and upon the top of each of the wings 50 and 51 are arranged two curved guide rods 54, 54 and 55, 55. The curved guide rods 54, 54 and 55, 55 are disposed longitudinally with respect to the rectangular body 10, and for the purpose of varying the resistance of atmospheric pressure when my machine is ascending or descending I provide collapsible planes or "sails, as 56 and 57, upon the curved guide rods 52, 52
,and 53, 53 respectively. "Also upon the curved guide rods 54, 54 and 55, 55 are arranged collapsible planes or sails 58 and 59 and all of said collapsible planes are adapted to be adjusted by the operator of the machine as. will be hereinafter more fully described. I
In order to brace the wings 48, 49, 50 and 51 against displacement with the rec .tangnlar body 10, as shown in Fig. 2, a
number of cables or tie rods 60, 61, 62, and 63 are trained crosswise .of each of said wings and the body 10 respectively, and crosswise of the body 10 between the-front and rear sets of the. wings'are directed strengthening cables or tie rods 64 and 65. The lower part of the vertical rods 13, 13 and 14, 14 are also braced by cross cables or tie rods 66 and 67.
The machine may be propelled by any suitable motoror engine operated by gasolene, steam, electricity, etc. I prefer to operate my present flying machine by a combustion engine, as 64, which may receive its motive fuel through supply pipe 65 connected in an spitable manner to a storage tank 66 which is supported in ,the upper art of the rectangular bod 10.
Upon the driving shaft of the combustion engine 64 is held a bevel gear 69 one ed e of which is'in mesh with a bevel gear 70. Thebevel ear- 70-is provided upon one end of a '71and upon the opposite 78. The bevel gear 78 is in mesh with a bevel gear 79 arranged upon. a revoluble shaft 80 within a second tube 81 which is similar to the tube 75 and is carried on the opposite side of the rectangular body 10.
For the purpose of obtaining a high elliv ciency of speed for my flying machine I arrange within the forward part of each of the tubes 75 and 81 a propeller, as 82 and 83, which are keyed upon the shafts 7 4 and 80, and when operated by the combustion engine 64 are adapted to force currents of air through said tubes at a high 1 pressure.
To coptrol the position of the machine in its ascent or descent a plane 84 is provided in front of the rectangular body 10.
From one of the extreme lower -corners of the wings 48 and'49 extend diagonally two supporting rods 85 and 86, and pivotally held upon the free .ends ofsaidrods .is a
shaft 87. Spaced apart at a required distance are arranged cross bars 88 ands!) and between said cross bars is heldthe plane 84 which is adapted to be revolved to any desired angle vertically to the height of the machine.
with respect Rigidly held upon the shaft 87 adjacent to crossbar 89 is a bar 90 to both ends of which are fastened cables 91 and 92 which i are directed over grooved pulleys 93 and 94 loosely held u n-an upright shaft 95 which is connected to the wing 49. From the grooved pulleys 93 and 94 the cables 91 and 92 pass over grooved pulleys 96 and 97 and are connected to the upper and lower part of alever, as 98, which is adapt ed to be moved by the operator of the machine for adjusting the plane 84.
As a means to efiiciently steer the machine in its flight through the air a supporting bracket 99 is arranged at the rear of the wings 50and 51; The supporting bracket 99 comprises two rods or arms 100 and 101 which extend from the longitudinal rods 11 and 12, and connected 1: on'the free ends of the arms 100 and 101 is arod 102 the opposed ends of which are also fastened to the wings 48'and 49. V Centrallyof the rod 102 is provided a substantially V-sha ed vertical bracket 1% Pivoted in the en 5 of the V-shaped bracket 194 is a rudder 105 which.
' as illustrated. is semi-circular in shape though f which is trained over a grooved pulley 108 held to the wing 48 and is directed through the rectangular body 10 to the forward part of the machine and over-grooved pulleysltlt' and 109 to the upper part of the lever 110,
' Fig. 6. To the opposite end of thecross-bar Y 106 is connected a second cable 111 which is trained over'a grooved pulley 11) held to the wing 49. The cable 111 directed through the opposite'side of the rectangular lnuly 10 to the forward part of the machirr. and over pulleys 113 and 114 to the lower end. of the lever 110. T he lever 110 is pivoted to the rectangular body 10, and it is clear that. when said lever is moved forward.
or backwardby the operator of theinachine the rudder 105 will be moved laterally in the desired direction. 4
As a means to operate the Collapsible planes or sails 56 and 57 at the ,upper lateral ends of each of the wings 48 and 49 arepivm d cross-rods, as 115, 116', 117, and 118, and at the opposed ends of each of said cross-rods is held a grooved pulley, as 119, 120,121, 122, 123, 124, 125' and 12(i.- Upon the cross-rod 117 and-adjacent to -the grooved pulley 123 is a bevel gear 127 which meshes with a bevel gear- 12Rv held upon a studor short shaft- 129 jonrnaled in the upper part. of the rectangur hubody 10. Atthe oppositcendof the stud '12! provide: a grooved pulley 130, and to the lower rod of the front end of the body 10 is connected at short shaft 131 upon which is loosely held two grooved pulleys, as 132 and 13?. To a lever 134, which is pivoted to the front part of the rectangular body 10,is
connected one end of a line 135 which passes over pulley 132 and is trained upward and over pulley 130 to the pulley 133 and to the lower end pf the lever 134. The collapsible .plane 56 is connected to a line or cable 136 which is pa sed over grooved pulleys 119 and 120. A second line 137 lSCOIlllBCtEd to the collapsible plane 57 and passes over pulleys 123 and 125. and to both of the collapsible planes 56 and 57 is connected another line 138 which passes over pulleys 1'20 and 121 thence across the top of therectangular body 10 to and over pulleys 124 and 126. By this arrangement it is evident that when the operator moves the lever 134 the line 135 will revolve 'the'short. shaft 129 whereby the bevel gear crcss rvd 118 and will more the line 138 iii-turn will revolve thc-cruss-rods 116 i s: that both 0! the collapsible planes l t l I A l and 57 may lll inm'od to any required distance upon the curved guide-rods .32, Iiiaml 53, 53*. 7
To operate the collapsible planes or sails 5S and 59a. cross-rod, as 139., is journaled in i the top of one end of the wings 50 and 51, and a second cross-rod 140 is journaled in the opposite top part of said wings. Upon the cross-rods 139 and 140 are held grooved pulleys 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, and 148. In the upper part of the rectangular body 10 is journaled a stud 149 upon which is held a gear 150 which meshes with a pin ion 151 provided upon the cross-rod 130mljacent to the grooved pulley 143. On the stud 149 is arranged a grooved pulley 152,
1 and in front of the rectangular body 10 is held a short shaft 153 having two loosely held'grooved pulleys 154 and 154 thereon To the upper part of a lever 155, which is pivoted to the front part of the rectangular body 10, is fastened one end of a line 156 whichpasses' over the grooved pulley 154 and is trained upward and over the grooved pulley 152 downward to and back over the grooved pulley 154 to the lower end of the lever 155. Over the grooved pulleys 141 and 142 is trained a line 157 Over pulleys 143 and- 144 is directed a line 15S'and to the lines 157 and 158 is fastened the opposed lateral ends of the collapsible lane 58. From the grooved pulle s 145 an 146 istrained a line 159. Over the pulleys 147 and 148 is di rected a line 160, and to each of the lines" 159 and: 160 is connected the opposed lateral ends of the collapsible lane 59. 'hen the lever 155 is moved the ine or cable 156 will rotate-the grooved pulley 152 and siinultzv neously therewith the gear. 150 will be revolved. A rotary movement will thereby be imparted to the. pinion 151 which in turn will rotate thecross-rod 139 and through the means of the lines 157, 158. 159, and 160 the cross-rod 140' will be simultaneously revolved. It is obvious by this arrangement that the collapsible planes 58 and 59 may be adjusted by the operator of the machine'in an opposite direction to the planes 5G and" 57 as occaslon requires.
Itwill be understood that changes may be i made in the forms and proportions of the parts of my flying machine, and that the same may be made of any preferred metal or material withoutdepartiug from the scope and spirit of the invention, therefore I do not wish to be limited to the particular form of machine and the operative parts-thereof as herein'described and shown.
Having thus described my invention, 1
