PAUL SEILER, or SAN F ANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.
AERIAL MAcH'I-NE Specification of Lcttra Pat'en tf ':i te'nted June 6, 1911-.
application filed June 13; 1910. Serial Iio. 5 66.5tl9.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that-1, Par]. Sauna. citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of San Fra'ueiseo and State of California, have inve' jit'ed new and useful- Imp'roveua-nts in Aeri'iil 'lltaehines, of-which the following is a speeifieation.
My invention relates to an apparatus which is espeeiall designed for aerialpui' poses.
It. consists of a framework having exteriorlv hinged or pi l louver-like. planes with the inner ed ea'palilel of vertical oseillation and meansll .whieh power is applied to move said plane. I I
Iti'also comprises tlie-eomhination of nirts and details of construct-ion which wi-l be matle of'any suitable light material; as wood,
bamboo or aluminum. and of sueh shape as to have the most rigidity. 'lo'the exterior parallel side members. of the frame are] hinged the movable planes or wings 2. and the inner edges of these 1ilauesapproaeh the renter so that power may he applied to move these inner edges. the (Filter edges forming the pivots about wliieh the inner edges oseillate. Any suitable emu-ting planes 3 may be euiploved in eonjunetion avith these movable planes L. have here shown 1055; planes 2 as having down-turned llauges 2*, along both the iunerland side edges, these flanges being deepest at the inner edges and .the side tlauges gradually tapering to the hinged outer edges. The suefaee of these planes is formed by hinged vanes or lou\'ers,. so called. as shown at t, the hiugiug of these vanes lieing sueh that when theplanes are lifted the vanes or louvers will open downward, thus allowing air to est-ape freely through the planes. \Vhen the reverse movement oerurs-the louvers will immediately t'f'ose, thus presenting a continuous surface for impact against the air, the etlect of whieh-will-lm to raise the apparatus. Tn conjunction with this means for raising the apparatus, 1 may employ onekn more propellers 5 mounted upon a horizontal shaft and. 'ven by any usual motor 6, which may be St tably located, preferably at the lower part oft-he frame A. At the rear of the fL-tlllle' mae 'be mounted a rudder 7-, having horizontal and vertical blades and a hinged or pivoted connection, at 8, with megus by wlnehneither portion of the rudder 1 a be turned to assist in :gu'rding the apparhtns'.
In order to operate the hinged pla ies I have shown an endless traveling xible ehaimor'rope, 10, which isadapted 0 pass around the pulley ll uponfor clrive by the engine shaft, and another pulley located at a'suflieient' distanceabove the pulley 1]. 13 is a,ela1np'-, whi eh isfix-ed tofthe chain or rope 10. assl'iowtn' andby mea tis of flexible-or universal-=joints,i as at 14, rodsl-fi have one end eonneeted with it. The op'positel'ends are eounected'with the inner niovable ends of the dams 2 and the operation will then he; ollows:'lhe en ine being in motion. the .inovement of the traveling belt or ehaiu l0 'earries the elam 13 up and taueebetween the pulei's 11,1111 1?. this beii ig'sutlieient to'give'as great ii amplitude to the n'io'vement of theplanes 'sauay be'desired and sutlieient to give-the, requisite elerating power when the vanes {are .in motion. As tlie elainpmust travel around the peripheries of the wheels 11 and '12 itwill'be nee.- es at" 'v to steady it in its mo efnent and prevent twisting. 'lhis is efl'ee ed by ineans of 'ii' rod. 11'. which e. \"te lds firm the =eonnectiou. '14-. Fig. 2. rezirwardlli and enters the sleeve. 17. whielv is pivotta eat 18, Fig. 3, and forms a continuation ordxtension of the rod. the eouneetiou being own in -'Fig. 3 as in the form of; ball nd soeket'joint, but itis "obvious t iat a vi other flexible joint may be'-en|plo ed if desired. By reason ,of the rod, 1G. ent tag the tube as shown and deseribe d, sai rod may have a. leugtlnvise .slidablq movg'mentwhieh \v-ill allow sutlieient. movement-to compensate for the. travelof the belt an clamp.
Having-thus described nay Invention, what. I claim anddesirefto secure by Letters-Pat- 'dges ma be verx vingitheir arallel outer edges fiie'fram e, means by which the lengthening and sho'ten iug' caused by 1'. Inanflaerral machine, a frame, planes rams, and means by w'lngh dbwn to anextentde )endent u on the distheir inner contiguous edges ma be' vertically oscillated, said means inelu ing a motor and reciprocating mechanism connecting the motor with the inner edges of the wings.
3. In an aerial machine, a frame, planes or wings having their parallel outer edges hinged to the frame, means by which their inner contiguous edges may be vertically oscillated, said means consisting of a fiexible endless belt, vertically separated pulleys around which the belt passes, one of said pulleys being driven by'the motor, a clamp carried by the belt, and connections between the clamp and the wings.
4. In an aerialanaehine, a frame, planes or wings having their parallel outer edges hinged to the frame, means by which their inner contiguous edges may be verticall oscillated, said means consisting of a lien,- ble endless belt, vertically separated pulleys around which the belt passes, one of said pulleys bein r driven by the motor, a clamp 1 carried by the belt, connections between the clamp and'the wings, and a rod connecting the clamp to a fixed portion of the frame. 5. In an aerial machine, a frame. nlanes or wings havin their outer edges hinged to the frame paral cl with its longitudinal axis, a motor, an endless traveling belt, connections between said belt and the movable edges of the wings, a rod having one end connected with the wing actuating means, and the other with a fixed part of the frame, and a telescopic joint to permit the rod to follow the movements of the Wings.
6. In an aerial machine, a frame, planes or wings having their parallel outer edges hinged to the frame, and means by which their inner contiguous edges may be ver tically oscillated, said win s having their surfaces formed with hinged louversadapted to automatically open downwardly when the wings are lifted, and to close when the wings move downwardly.
In testimony whereof Ihave hereunto set 4 my'hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
