-KEROPLANE.' I

a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Aeroplenes, of whichthe following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

My invention relates especially to the construction and arrangement of the planes in aeroplanes, and has for its object the provision of a simple and effective device whereby, the Compression of the air below the planes is insured and the air cannot escape at the ends of the planes.

To attain the desired end, my invention consists in certain novel and useful combinations or arrangements of parts, and peculiarities of construction and operation, all of which will be hereinafter first fully described, and then pointed out in the claims. .In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of an aeroplane embodying my invention. Fi 2 is a modification of the arrangement illustrated in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a'vertical sectional view at line a-a of Fig. 2.

Like numeralsof reference, wherever they occur, indicate corresponding parts in :11 the figures.

1 are planes made of any approved material the front plane being the lower one.

2 are side-pieces to which the planes are connected and secured. In Fig. 1 I have shown the side-pieces as flat and extending at right angles to the planes. In Figs. 2 and 3 the side-pieces are shown as semicylindrical, the concave sida being inside, or next to the planes.

3 are vertical rods extending downward from the planes and carrying a platform 4 for machinery. operatives, etc. 1

It will be observed that the planes are located one above the other, the edge of each succeeding plane overhanging the plane below it, an arrangement best calculated to obtain the greatest efiiciency of the device.

Any number of planes may be used. of

any desired width and length, and the planes D to the other plane in vertical direction .not

may be any proper distance apart, as these details of arrangement may be greatly varied without departing from the spirit of my invention, and it will beifound t iat my iin roved aeroplane obtains the greatest-possib e sustaining capacity proportionate to u 'Specificationotlctterslatent. Application filed October 2?, 190a. set-mire. 524,884.

vvthe snrface of the planes and by reason of the combination with the plancsof the sidepieces, the sustaining air is confined and compressed and cannot escape at the ends ofthe planes. w

' Having now fully described my invention, whatI claim as new therein, and des re to secure by Letters Patent, is:-

1. In an aeroplane, a plurality of planes of any desired widths arranged in series the front one being the lower one each plane extending over the preceding plane not more than one-third the width of the prc-' ceding plane in combination with air confining side pieces carried by the planes and extending above and below the same substantially as shown and described.

2. In an aeroplane a plurality of planes of any desired widths arranged in series,

the front one being the lower one. each plane extending over the preceding plane, not more than one-third the width of the preceding plane, the distance from one plane to the other plane in vertical directions. not. being limited in combination with curved side pieces carried by the planes and extending above and below the same.

In an aeroplane or plurality of planes of any desired widths arranged in series the front one being the lower one, each plane extending over the preceding plane not more than one-third the width of the preceding plane in combination with curved side pieces carried by the planes and extend: ing above and below the same, substantially as shown and described.
