HAND-POWER-PROPELLED HYDROAERO SPORTING DIRIGIBLE BALLOON".
Application filed April 18, 1917.
To all whom it may concern.-
Beit lmown that I, MARTIN JELALIAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Cranston, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hand Power Propelled Hydroaero Sporting Dirigible Balloons of which the following is a specification.
The ob ect of the invention is to provide new and useful improvements in aerial apparatus of that class that are essentially designed for amusement purposes, and having a gas bag capable of lifting and sustaining the ship and constitutinga pair of arm power operated wings to assist in lifting and to propel the ship forward.
The apparatusbeing provided with cylinders arranged at the bottom thereof in order to easily permit the latter to float upon the surface of the water when traveling on the water.
The invention consists in the special features of the construction and combination of parts, as hereinafter described and claimed.
In describing the invention in detail reference is had to the accompanying two sheets of drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved apparatus, showing one form of balloon or gas bag for the same; Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the apparatus, as equipped with another form of balloon; Fig. 3 is a plan view of the mainplane, showing the same as provided with a wire netting; Fig. 4. is a detail view of the winged device. Fig. 5 is a hand-support designed to operate the wings. Fig. 6 is a fiat circular support for the wings adapted to receive the end portions of connecting ropes.
Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates a gas bag. To reinforce said gas bag and prevent the same from collapsing, connecting ropes 2 and 3 are used which extend transversely to the gas bag land surround the upper portion of the same. Ropes 4, 4t extend from the lower ends of said connecting ropes 2 and 3 from each side of the gas bag -1- and have their lower ends connected to the perforations Specification of Letters Patent.
an additional buoyancy Patented Nov. 27, 1191i "1. Serial No. 162,993.
5, 5 formed at the upper portion of a ring Said ring -6 also has equispaced perforations 6 6 at the lower part thereof to receive the upper ends of the suspension ropes 8, 8- and the lower ends of said suspension ropes 8, 8 are provided with snap-hooks and attached to the eyelets 22, 22- secured upon the top of the car -11.
The ring -6 also has a central inwardly projecting circumferential portion 5"- provided with equi-spaced perforations encircling the same and adapted to receive a wire netting 5 and a canvas -6 is secured upon the top and bottom of the latter in order to serve as a plane for the apparatus. v
The car llwhich has a rectangular top and bottom connected by vertical supports l1 11 carries a pair of bird-like wings l6 l6 which have their inner ends pivotally connected upon each side of the top of the car -11-, as at -16 l6 and extend outwardly therefrom. The top of the car 1lhas a wire netting 16 and canvas secured upon the top and bottom of the latter so as to serve as a plane, and the wings -16, 16 in operation force the air directly beneath the same thereby giving to the apparatus.
Extending outwardly from the rear end of the top plane of the car 11 is a laterally projecting tail portion l2 designed to react against the atmosphere. The bottom of the car 11 is alsoprovided with a wire netting and canvas in the same manner as the top to react against the atmosphere.
The gas bag 1- is provided with a flexible tube connection 9 and said tube connection projects through the main plane and thence passes through the top of the car 11-- adjacent to the operators, and has a suitable valve to permit the gas to escape from the latter.
The wings 16 16 which are pivotally connected centrally to each side of the upper plane of the car 1l are each provi ded with a flat circular support -17- located centrally beneath the same, and said supports l7, l7- have equi-spaced perfosecured rations -18 18 encircling the same and adapted to receive the lower ends of connection ropes 17 17 and the opposite ends of said ropes -17", 17 are connected to the transverse wing supports 25, 25-. A wire netting is carried by said supports -25, 25- and canvas secured upon the top and bottom of the latter, as shown in Fig. 1.
Main connection ropes 17 for each of said wings -16 16 have one of their ends connected'centrally upon the bottom of the circular support 17, 17-, as at points 17 17, and the opposite ends thereof attached to the upper ends of a hand operated T shaped support 17 which is provided with an eyelet -25 at each end of its transverse portion 25 as shown in Figs. 1, 2, 4t and 5. Secured centrally upon each side of the top of the car 'l1 are vertical supports 17 17 and coil pullsprings 18 18 have one of their ends to the upper ends of said vertical supports -17 17 and the lower ends thereof attached to the eyelets 18 18 integral with the wings -16, 16 and said pull springs are designed to assist the upward movement of the wings.
Projecting outwardly from each side of the bottom plane of the car -11 are supporting planes 14:, 14- which' are integral with and extending outwardly therefrom; cylinders 15 15 provided with straps 15 15 are secured upon thebottoms of said outwardly extending planes -14, 14. and said cylinders are designed to float upon the surface of the water when traveling upon the water. The bottom plane of the car 1l also carries a pair of oppositively arranged seats, provided with suitable straps for securing the operators thereto.
A series of supports 19, 19 extend from the bottom of the car -l1 to a converging position and have supporting wheels -19 19 secured at the lower ends thereof.
-The operation of the device will be readily understood, and it will be obvious that by the arrangement described the ap paratus can be operated and controlled in a most safe and successful manner.
Thus describing my invention what claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is V 1.
