Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
A wind-powered energy converter system comprising a cable stretched horizontally between external supports, multiple like rigid frames attached at intervals to said cable and pendent therefrom, said frames being fitted with torque power transmission means together with holding means for holding an appended external rotary wind driven impeller, wherein one said impeller is held in suspension beneath each said frame by having the upper extremity of a support member of said impeller securely held in rotatable contact with said torque power transmission means, and wherein said holding means permits said support member of said impeller to be deployed at any angle of declination from vertical to horizontal in either direction within the plane of said cable.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
116 words
A wind-powered energy converter system comprising a cable stretched horizontally between external supports, multiple like rigid frames attached at intervals to said cable and pendent therefrom, said frames being fitted with torque power transmission means together with holding means for holding an appended external rotary wind driven impeller, wherein one said impeller is held in suspension beneath each said frame by having the upper extremity of a support member of said impeller securely held in rotatable contact with said torque power transmission means, and wherein said holding means permits said support member of said impeller to be deployed at any angle of declination from vertical to horizontal in either direction within the plane of said cable.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
44 words
A device as claimed in claim 1, wherein said holding means for said external impeller comprises a threaded housing fixed to said frame and a rotatable threaded housing threadedly joined therewith, wherein said external support means is fixed rotatably into said rotatable threaded housing.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
127 words
A device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the two said threaded housings enclose a cavity which contains two sets of matching gears on conventional shafts and bearings, comprising, for each said housing, a first gear set upon a shaft which is fixed to said housing wall, centered with respect to threaded open extremity of said housing and normal to the plane of such threaded extremity, and a second gear meshing therewith at right angles, which second gear is fixed to a drive shaft extending outward from said housing, and wherein said first gear of said fixed housing is fitted with protruding teeth which slideably interlock with like teeth in the opposing said first gear of said rotatable housing when the two said housings are threadably joined.
