Be it known that I, THOMAS MILLS, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at Longdown Lodge,
Sandhiirst, Berkshire, England, have invented new and useful Improvements in the Propulsion of Ves sels, of which the following'is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in the propulsion of vessels such as are described in the specification of'my prior Patent No. 457361. Such a vessel has a fore part of a curved conical form surrounded,
ahollow c nical propeller of corresponding form and adapted to revolve thereon and having-blades projecting from its exterior.
The object of thisinvention is to lessen the friction of'the conical propeller turning on the fore part, which friction is largely caused by'the water entering the space between the propeller and tore part.
According to this invention I provide the conical propeller with two sets of internal blades, one set for expelling'the water from this space when the vessel is being driven forward and the other when the vessel is being driven astern. I also provide a shield over the top of the propeller which prevents the water from flying upward and so aids 3. A vessel with the whole tore part of a stationary curved conical form, surrounded bya hollow conical propeller of correspond-- ing form and adapted to revolve thereon and having blades projecting from its exterior and winding around it. and blades on its interior at the end adjacent to the "esscl, and a shield at the top (it the conical propeller.
The drawings illustrate apparatus made in accordance with this invention.
