Abstract

1,189,444. Controlling reversible pitch propellers. HAWKER SIDDELEY DYNAMICS Ltd. 18 Sept., 1967 [26 July, 1966], No. 33662/66. Heading B7V. In a reversible pitch propeller, twisting moments on the propeller blades such as blade 1 due to rotation of the propeller are employed to bring about an increase in blade pitch angle automatically with increase in engine power, irrespective of whether the blades are in forward or reverse pitch, and forward or reverse pitch is selected by movement of a pilot's throttle or power control lever from an idling or neutral setting into a forward throttle range or a reverse throttle range, respectively. Pins 5 and 6 on each blade root are both out of engagement with spring-loaded piston 7 at zero pitch and one or the other comes into engagement with the piston according to whether the angular direction of the propeller is forward or reverse. In the embodiment shown, shaft 11 is coupled to each blade by a radial pin 16 which moves axially with the shaft and is engaged in a cam slot 17 in the blade root.
