Abstract
603,158. Gyroscopic apparatus. BENDIX AVIATION CORPORATION. Feb. 15, 1945, No. 3879. Convention date, Jan. 20, 1944. [Class 97 (iii)] A. gyro-vertical erecting mechanism comprises a mass compelled to travel in a circular track concentric with the rotor axis and supported on the rotor housing, and a regulating mechanism for normally maintaining the speed of movement of the mass substantially constant but permitting it to travel at variable speed when the axis of the rotor deviates from the vertical. The mass may be a ball 31 trapped between the plate 32 and a roller 33 both carried by the rotating carriage 22. The regulating mechanism comprises an escapement 40, 35 which is positively driven, e.g. by a pinion 41 rolling round a fixed gear wheel 42 when the carriage rotates. The anchor 40 of the escapement preferably has its centre of gravity displaced from its pivot axis 39. The carriage may be driven by an eddy-current coupling comprising a magnet 18 on the rotor spindle and a conducting ring 19 on the carriage. Alternatively the carriage may have a friction slip-drive as described in Specification 441,439 or direct gear drive as described in Specification 573,772. The carriage may carry a counterweight 47 on one side.
