'SCREW-PROPELLED CHANNELED BALLOON.
Specification of Letters Patenti,
Application filed June 18,
To all whom it may concern: 4
Be it known that I, JOHN HAFELY, acitizen of the Republic of Switzerland, residing at Boston, in the county of Suffolk and 5 State of.Massachusetts, have invented certain 'new and useful Improvements in Screw-Propelled Channeled Balloons,- of
' p which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings. i
My invention relates to improvements in aerial vessels of a character which I have signated as screw propelled channeled balloons, the car being canoe shape and the upper tank portion being preferably in'the shape of a fish whichmay contain one or moregas balloons, cigar shaped or otherwise, and embodying improvements for adjusting the parts to correspond to the condi- 2o tions existing or the purposes to be attained.
The object of my invention is to provide such lifting, sustaining and. propelling mechanism for an air-ship of greater specific gravity than theair as to allow the ship to be propelled and guided in any direction through the air with the minimum resistance from (he air in its flight; and to provide other improvements as will appearhereinafter.
The'inveion consists in the combination of elements "l in certain parts of construe tionincl'uded a the combination of said elements to obtain the desired' result.
A full understanding of the invention can best be given by a detailed description of a preferred construction embodying the various features of the inventiomand such a' description will now be given inconnection with the accompanying'drawings, and I at- 40 tain my object by the mechanism there illustrated, showing such preferred construction, and the featuresforming the invention .will then be specifically pointed out in theclaims. In "said drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevationof my complete machine. Fig. 2 is a rearend elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a central'vertical longitudinal section of the same machine.v
The details may be changed or varied at 5 ,0 will. without departing from the spirit of' "my invention. I
Corresponding and like parts are referred .to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the drawings by the same 15 reference characters. The upper or fish shaped portion of the Patented July 11, 1911. 1910. Serial No. 568,015.
- machine consists of a hollow buoyant tank'l,
constructed of a light with mesh frame work covered with airtight silk 2 and protected by the straps or cables 3 which may consist of narrow strips of aluminium or bamboo so lashed as to secure the tank in its fish shaped form. The canoe shaped car l which holds the motor 5 for driving the propellers is connected to the tank by the cables or rods 6 in a manner allowing of the tank always being suspended at the proper height above the car eventhough the gas bag or balloon 7 within thetank has been removed from the. tank or the gas partly or wholly removed from the balloon. l
The balloon 7 is provided with a suitable .Ve ntpipe 8 extending to a point without the tank and protected by the cap 9; the extension of the vent pipe and its closing cap preferably being on the underside so as .to, be within easy reach of the occupant of the"- car in case it is desired to remove the cap to allow of the rapid out-flow of gas. The supply pipe 10 may extend directly to the balloon but is preferably attached to the 'vent pipe so that it. is-only necessary to have one opening into the bag of the balloon. This balloon is preferably formed around .ithe air shaft, channelor tube'll that extends longitudinally of thetank about midway thereof; this tube is constructed of light and thin strips of wood matched together or of aluminium so that the-balloon has only to be secured gas tight to the fore and aft ends of. tube within the tank of:
this air ship. ,In the drawings,'I have, however, showed a series of open air supply pipes 12 which extend from the forward upper portion of the tank, at an incline through the balloon into the upper portion of'the tube, being diagonally inclined to the similar to the mouth ofa fish, andconsists of the upper rigid lip 13'. extending on an incline upward as shown in Fig. 1, and the lower movable lip 14 pivoted or hinged as at 15 to the 'zupper portion of the twofront 'parallelrii ds 6. and normally held in'th'e closed position shown in Fig. 3 by the spring cord passing over pulley 19 on one of the and. 29'
forward parallel rods 6 and secured in any desirable manner 7D the inner side of one of the side walls 22 which extend upward from the car 4 at about the position of the operator.
The nose 21 extends forward of the support 23 so as to form with the lower lip, when it is closed, a sort of cone to pierce the air., When the lower lip is open, it serves as a wing or deflector to throw air toward and into the mouth of the channel or tube 11 where it is met by the Archimedes screw or other shaped propeller 25 on the shaft 26 mounted in suitable bearings formed in the supporting members 23, 24, the latter support: being at the extreme end of the tank 1, so that when the shaft 26 is turned by the gearing 27, the air is forced rapidly through the channel or tube 11 and the 'maehine forced forward. The shaft extends beyond the brace 24 and without the rear end of the tank and carries a four bladed rotary propeller 28 and at its rear end a two bladed fin shaped propeller 29.
Extending upward from the support 25% is an arm 30 carrying pulley 31 over which runs the cord 32 attached to the valve33 normally closing the passage 34: by action of the spring 35; when this valve is opened the extra or coi'npressed air within the tank will escape. "This cord passes down therear of the machine and over pulley 3G and is secured on one of theside walls 22 asat 37 in any desirable manner. The tank may also be supplied on its upper side .with the fin 38 and is provided on its lower side with a series of air inlet valves 539 closed by action of springs 40 and opened by power applied to the cords 41, which cords may be pulled down and secured to the side of the car and air will then pass into the tank and around the balloon and tube and out the passage 34-. The cap or stopper of the valve 39 is preferably formed with a downwardly-extending circumferential rim or flange to form a parachute to assist in preventing a too rapid descent.
A driving shaft 42extends through the motor 5 and longitudinally of the car {and carries at its rear endwithout the car the four bladed rotary propellerdil and at its rear end the'two bladed fin shaped propeller 14, these two propellers being of about'one half the size .of the upper two propeller-s28 and the propeller 4:3 being forward of the propeller The driving shaft 42 has its forward end n'rountedin a. suitable bearing in the supporting member 45' within shaped pointthe car and its rear portion having a bearing in the aft end of the car. i
The chain 47 connects the sprocket wheels 4 6 and27 so that the shaf 26 is turned by the motor 5 and the spiral 'gear l8 on this shaft turns the spiral gear 49 on shaft 50 which latter shaft extends through the tank 1 carrying on each end thereof the stems 51, each stein extending across the shaft and each end provided with a fan shaped blade 52, the said blades beingl'at right angles toeach other These blades are so arranged to allow the blade about to descend to be turned with its face to the front by the opposite blade on the same stem striking the inclined nose 5% on the end of the semi-circular'arm or guide-way 53 secured as at 55 to the side of the tank so as to force t 1e air downward and backward as it completes this half of the movement; each blade in its turn as it strikes the nose 54 and passes up onto the arm or guidewvay being turned so as to be end on or parallel with the machine longitudinally, and the blade 'on the other end of'the stem being turned so as to press upon the air. j.
The spiral gears 56 on shaft 42 are in mesh with the spiral, gears 571 on the shafts 58,
each shaft extending through the car and carrying ground wheels 64- mounted thereon,
and a stem 59 with blades (30, similar to one of the stems 51 and blades 52, mounted on the shaft between the ground wheel and the car and adapted to be revolved by the shaft, and each blade 60 to meet in its turn the nose 63 of the segmental arm or guide-Way 61 secured as at 62 to the side of the car 4. It will be noticed that the blades 52 press the air more downward than backward, while the blades 60 are arranged to press the air about equally downward and backward. v i
The gill sails or wing extensions 65are hinged on the forward portion ofthe, tank and are held in a downward position against the action of the spring 67 by the cord 68, but when said cord is released the spring causes the wings to turn so as to be in an upward position, this latter position being used when the balloon is descending and the position shown in Fig. 1 being used when the machine is soaring upward.
The machine is steered by the two rudder curtains 71, 77, which are pivotally mounted in the frame-works 66, G9, and respectively controlled by the two levers 75, 78; Each framework carries parallel oblong screens 70 of wire mesh and between which the curtainon the roller is pulled up the desired amount, according to the strength of lllGfWlIld, by the cord 72 which passes over the pulley 73 inthe upper cross-bar 74 of the screens. It will be noticed that in Fig. 1 the curtains are shown as raised to a higher position than in Fig. 3. The lever 75 is shown as connected with the lower crossbar 79 through a series of connecting rods 76, and the lever'78 may-be connected with its rudder curtain in this many other desirable manner; he rear end of the cylindrical piping or tube 11 is preferably closed,"
when desired, by the shutter 81 running in the runways 82 and normally closed by the springs 83 but opened by the cord 84: as against the action of said springs when it is desired that air may pass in or out of the rear endof this tube, It is apparent that the motor if desired may be placed in the rear of the seating apparatus. Also that the shaft 42 need not be extended forward 'of the-motor'and that the forward wheels need not be geared to the shaft but may be provided with any of the well known typesof steering apparatus, common inautomobiles,
so that the machine may be steered by its forward wheels while upon the ground;
The balloon 7 is preferably formed of a screen framework of wire mesh with the silk bag within. it so that the shape of the balloon when inflated is always ii'niformand the springs 40 be attached to the wire mesh portion of the balloon. When itis desired to raise the machine into the air the inlet valves 39 are opened the desired amount before starting me propellers.
Having thus described my invention I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent 1.
