Abstract

723,368. Gas-turbine plant. ROVER CO., Ltd. June 12, 1953 [June 23, 1952], No. 15724/52. Class 110 (3). [Also in Group XXXI] In a vehicle gas-turbine plant having a power turbine and a compressor turbine, the compressor has combined with it mechanism whereby the compressor may be driven by motion of the vehicle, the mechanism including a unidirectional clutch and a slipable friction coupling. Gases from the combustion chamber pass first to the compressor turbine g and then to the power turbine f, the latter driving the road wheels through the shaft and gearing k, m. A shaft q carrying a pinion r is driven from the gearing k and drives a shaft t through gearing u, s. The shaft t carries a disc v forming part of the slipable coupling, the other part of the coupling comprising an axially-slidable disc w which is loaded by a spring x. The two discs are contained in a hollow rotary member y secured to a sleeve 2. The sleeve is connected to a co-axial sleeve 4 by means of a unidirectional clutch 5, the sleeve 4 being connected to the compressor rotor o through gearing 6, 7. The discs v and w of the coupling are provided with rings 3 of friction material and the pressure of the spring x is adjustable so that the coupling can slip when a predetermined torque is exceeded. Alternatively, or in addition, the coupling may be adapted to slip when a predetermined speed of the shaft is reached, for example, by means of a centrifugal device 8, 9. Specification 617,856 is referred to.
