Article for hydro-propulsion with enhanced performance and safety capabilities

Abstract

The invention is a direct replacement for conventional propellers on aquatic vehicles that utilize them. The cincture ( 26 ) ( 26 A) being a integral part with the propeller makes a significant improvement over conventional propellers. Being so manufactured means that it can be conformed to virtually all types of propeller applications. Such as mounting requirements, the number of helical screws ( 20 ), their pitch and direction of rotation, and rear or forward mounted propellers. The cincture ( 26 ) ( 26 A) being of one piece with the propeller means it is of the same material (plastic, aluminum, stainless steel, teflon, bronze, etc, etc.) as the propeller. Giving an enhanced performance and safety capability in a single article of manufacture for each desired application. Being beneficial not only for the owner, but the aquatic vehicle and its surroundings.

1 . An article of manufacture for hydro-propulsion with enhanced performance and safety capabilities, comprising,
 (a) a means for attachment to a source of energy for a rotational actuation of said article, and   (b) a helical screw for a means of providing momentum transferal to a liquid medium when in rotational actuation, and   (c) a cincture encompassing said helical screw, whereby creating an enhanced performance and safety capability.   
   
   
       2 . The article of  claim 1 , wherein said article is comprised of a material by itself or in a combination with other materials that are conducive to the manufacturing of propellers for hydro-propulsion. 
   
   
       3 . The article of  claim 1 , wherein all components of said article are comprised of a predetermined cross sectional thickness of said material. 
   
   
       4 . The article of  claim 1 , wherein said means of attachment meets the requirements conducive to application. 
   
   
       5 . The article of  claim 1 , wherein said article is of a predetermined size whereby proportionate to desired energy source and size of aquatic vehicle being driven thereby. 
   
   
       6 . The article of  claim 1 , wherein said article contains a predetermined number of helical screws in a predetermined pitch, rotation, and push or pull configuration conducive to desired application. 
   
   
       7 . The article of  claim 1 , wherein said helical screws are integral with said means of attachment and said cincture. 
   
   
       8 . The article of  claim 1 , wherein said helical screws taper away at one end of said means of attachment to their terminus at the underside of one end of said cincture at a water foramen. 
   
   
       9 . The article of  claim 1 , wherein said cincture is of a predetermined cross sectional thickness and of one piece with said helical screws. 
   
   
       10 . Pursuant to  claim 9 , wherein said cincture is of a predetermined length proportionate to said means of attachment. 
   
   
       11 . Pursuant to  claim 9 , wherein said cincture comprises of said water foramens at either end for ingression and egression of water. 
   
   
       12 . Pursuant to  claim 9 , wherein said cincture can include a crenation on both rims of said water ingression and egression foramens. 
   
   
       13 . Pursuant to  claim 9 , wherein said water ingression and egression foramens are of a predetermined size proportionate to each other for utilization of hydraulic ratio aspects in either  1 : 1  and overdrive and underdrive equivalents.
