摘要： A wingsail assembly comprises a main symmetrical aerofoil which is freely rotatable about an upright axis and a control vane which is settable about an upright axis spaced from the axis of the main aerofoil to cause the main aerofoil to adopt an angle of attack to the direction of the wind. A pivoted aerodynamic slot-forming vane assembly is rotatable in response to wind pressure to open and close respective slots, one on each side of the leading region of the main aerofoil. A linkage inhibits movement of the slot-forming vane assembly away from a neutral position when the control vane is set to a neutral position.

摘要： A wingsail assembly comprising a thrust wing having a leading aerofoil (1) and a trailing aerofoil (2), the leading and trailing aerofoils being deflectable with respect to one another to adopt a cambered configuration, characterised in that the trailing aerofoil has a cross-sectional shape with a relatively flat leading edge interconnecting relatively strongly curved corners (5,6) on opposite sides of the aerofoil, such that for each direction of relative deflection between the leading and trailing aerofoils the corner more remote from the trailing edge of the leading section provides an aerodynamic leading edge for the trailing section and the corner more proximate the trailing edge of the leading section provides an inner wall for a convergent slot. The assembly is mounted on a vessel via a bearing having an axis passing through the trailing section. A tail aerofoil trims the assembly and is mounted on a boom extending from the trailing section.

摘要： A method of operating a multi-element self-trimming sailset to assist deflection of the trailing element of the main thrust wing to either side of the leading element. The sailset is first rotated to reduce the moment of wind on the flap opposing deflection, the flap is deflected, and then the sailset rotated to its operating angle of attack. Rotation of the sailset is achieved by a tail vane.

摘要： A wingsail arrangement comprises a thrust wing having an upright leading airfoil having a leading edge and a trailing edge and an upright trailing airfoil having a leading edge and a trailing edge. The leading edge of the trailing airfoil is positioned closely behind the trailing edge of the leading airfoil. The trailing airfoil is mounted for pivoting movement about an upright axis relative to the leading airfoil from an aligned position in which the trailing airfoil is aligned with the leading airfoil to positions to each side of and angularly displaced from that aligned position. A slat has a leading edge and a trailing edge and is pivoted at its leading edge to the trailing edge of the leading airfoil and connected to the leading edge of the trailing airfoil by at least one cable so as to be moved in response to pivoting movement of the trailing airfoil to form a linear nozzle when the trailing airfoil is angularly displaced from the aligned position. An upright pivot pin is disposed proximate the trailing edge of the slat. Structure for engaging the pivot pin is attached to the cable to enable the cable to pivot about an upright axis relative to the slat. At least one wheel is rotatably mounted about an upright axis disposed proximate the trailing edge of the slat and extending beyond the trailing edge of the slat to prevent mutual engagement of the trailing edge of the slat and the flap.

摘要： A tie gun for applying a flexible tie around a roll or bundle, said tie having an apertured head through which the tail of the tie, after looping around the roll or bundle, is threaded, tensioned and locked in position, the gun incorporating an indexing means in the form of a rotary drum which advances successive ties, tail forward, into the path of a push rod driven by a trigger actuated, pneumatically operated piston so that said push rod performs a rearward stroke during the second part of an operating cycle and in so doing indexes the tie feed drum and simultaneously turns the buckle of an advanced tie into a tail receiving position, thus completing loading of the gun in readiness for the next operating cycle during the first part of which the push rod moves forwardly to push the tail around the roll or bundle to be tied back through the pre-orientated buckle ready for tensioning and locking.
