FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of a portion of a propeller blade assembly according to another embodiment of the invention. -
FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a vehicle, more specifically ahovercraft 8, in which apropeller blade assembly 10 may be used. It will be understood that thepropeller blade assembly 10 may be used in any suitable vehicle and hovercraft.FIG. 2 illustrates apropeller blade assembly 10 having apropeller blade 12, areplaceable guard 14, andmultiple fasteners 16. Thepropeller blade 12 may have an airfoil configuration. Thepropeller blade 12 may include afront surface 20 and a rear surface (not shown) bounded by a leadingedge 22, atrailing edge 24, and atip edge 26, which extends between the leadingedge 22 and thetrailing edge 24. - The
replaceable guard 14 may be selectively mountable to thepropeller blade 12 to cover at least the leadingedge 22 of thepropeller blade 12. In the illustrated example, thereplaceable guard 14 covers the leadingedge 22 and thetip edge 26. Further, thereplaceable guard 14 has been illustrated as being multi-segmented although this need not be the case. In the illustrated example, two of the multiple segments are used to cover most of the leadingedge 22 while a third is used to cover thetip edge 26. Alternatively, in a multi-segmented configuration, a first segment may cover the leadingedge 22 and a second segment may cover thetip edge 26. It is contemplated that there may not be areplaceable guard 14 on thetrailing edge 24. - The
multiple fasteners 16 may selectively couple thereplaceable guard 14 to at least one of thefront surface 20 and the rear surface (not shown). At least one of themultiple fasteners 16 will not extend beyond an exterior of thereplaceable guard 14. It is contemplated that all of themultiple fasteners 16 will not extend beyond an exterior of thereplaceable guard 14. In the illustrated example,multiple fasteners 16 operably couple thereplaceable guard 14 to both the front and rear surfaces of thepropeller blade 12. More specifically, themultiple fasteners 16 alternate between the front and rear surfaces along a length of thepropeller blade 12. While nofasteners 16 have been illustrated as attaching thereplaceable guard 14 to the rear surface at thetip edge 26 of thepropeller blade 12 it will be understood thatfasteners 16 may attach thereplaceable guard 14 to the rear surface at such a location. -
FIG. 3 illustrates one example of a portion of a propeller blade, replaceable guard, and fastener, which may be used in a propeller blade assembly including thepropeller blade assembly 10. As thepropeller blade 112,replaceable guard 114, andfastener 116 are similar to those previously described, like parts will be identified with like numerals increased by 100, with it being understood that the description of the like parts of thepropeller blade assembly 10 applies to the propeller blade assembly having thepropeller blade 112,replaceable guard 114, and fastener 116, unless otherwise noted. - As with the earlier described embodiment, the
propeller blade 112 includes afront surface 120 and arear surface 118 as well as a leading edge (not visible), a trailing edge (not visible), and atip edge 126. One difference is that thepropeller blade 112 is illustrated as a composite body including afoam core 130, a carbon andglass fiber layer 132, and apolyurethane layer 134. It will be understood that thepropeller blade 112 may be formed in any suitable manner from any suitable material(s). Further, afoam insert 136 has been illustrated as being located between a portion of thepropeller blade 112 and thereplaceable guard 114. Aninsert 140 may be bonded into a portion of thepropeller blade 112 and sized to receive one of themultiple fasteners 116. In the illustrated example, ablock 142 has been moulded within thepropeller blade 112 and theinsert 140 is bonded into theblock 142. Theblock 142 may be formed from a composite such as a glass fiber and insert moulded into thepropeller blade 112. - By way of non-limiting example, the
replaceable guard 114 has been illustrated as including abacker layer 150 and an erosionprotection rubber layer 152. It will be understood that the replaceable guard may be formed from any number of layers including a single layer. It will be further understood that the replaceable guard may be formed from any suitable material(s). - In the illustrated example, only a
single fastener 116 has been illustrated; however, multiple fasteners may be included and may operably couple thereplaceable guard 114 to thefront surface 120 and/or therear surface 118 of thepropeller blade 112. Thefastener 116 is illustrated as including arivet 160 selectively receivable in theinsert 140 and awasher 162. Thereplaceable guard 114 is clamped between thewasher 162 and theinsert 140 when therivet 160 is received within theinsert 140 and thefastener 116 does not extend beyond anexterior 164 of thereplaceable guard 114. By way of non-limiting example,FIG. 4 illustrates thefastener 116 operably coupling thereplaceable guard 114 to therear surface 118. -
FIG. 5 illustrates analternative propeller blade 212, areplaceable guard 214, and afastener 216. As thepropeller blade 212,replaceable guard 214, andfastener 216 are similar to those previously described, like parts will be identified with like numerals increased by 100, with it being understood that the description of the like parts of thepropeller blade assembly 10 and thepropeller blade 112,replaceable guard 114, andfastener 116 applies to the propeller blade assembly having thepropeller blade 212,replaceable guard 214, andfastener 216, unless otherwise noted. - One difference is that the
fastener 216 has been illustrated as including ascrew 260 that is at least partially threaded and sized to be threaded into theinsert 240. Another optional difference is that theinsert 240 may be at least partially threaded and has been illustrated as being fully threaded. As with the previously described embodiment thefastener 216 includes awasher 262 and when assembled, thereplaceable guard 214 is clamped between thewasher 262 and theinsert 240 when thescrew 260 is threaded into theinsert 240. - The embodiments described above provide for a variety of benefits including that the embodiments above allow for an erosion protection guard to attach to at least a leading edge of a propeller blade in a manner that enables speedy replacement of an eroded guard using simple tools without damaging the propeller blade. In this manner, multiple guard changes may be made without replacement of the propeller blade and corrosion has no effect on its operation. In the above described embodiments, removal of the guard does not require any contact with the composite material of the propeller blade. Thus, the composite in the propeller blade will not be affected by guard fitting and removal. The internal insert spreads the clamping load of the rivet. Further, discontinuity with the airfoil is minimal as the fasteners are flush with or do not extend beyond an exterior of the replaceable guard. One contemporary design relies on the use of bolts with special nuts fitted from each side of a through bore in the propeller blade. The bolt heads and nuts extend above the guard and may corrode and erode making it difficult to remove them causing high replacement costs. In the above described embodiments, corrosion will have no effect and because the design is flush or below the guard erosion will be minimal.
- To the extent not already described, the different features and structures of the various embodiments may be used in combination with each other as desired. That one feature may not be illustrated in all of the embodiments is not meant to be construed that it may not be, but is done for brevity of description. Thus, the various features of the different embodiments may be mixed and matched as desired to form new embodiments, whether or not the new embodiments are expressly described. All combinations or permutations of features described herein are covered by this disclosure.
- This written description uses examples to disclose the invention, including the best mode, and also to enable any person skilled in the art to practice the invention, including making and using any devices or systems and performing any incorporated methods. The patentable scope of the invention is defined by the claims, and may include other examples that occur to those skilled in the art. Such other examples are intended to be within the scope of the claims if they have structural elements that do not differ from the literal language of the claims, or if they include equivalent structural elements with insubstantial differences from the literal languages of the claims.
