Control Mechanism

摘要

An auxiliary appendage attachable to the steerable nozzle of an existing water craft. A first and second rudder blade attach to steerable nozzle. The first rudder blade includes a torsion spring providing a downward torsion force. A detent attached to steerable nozzle prevents rudder blades from hyper-extending in the direction of the downward torsion force. Rudder blades are connected by a deflection bar. Deflection bar is angled towards rudder blades. Rudder blades pivot between a downward position to an upward position based on the forces created thereon from both the torsion spring and the movement of the water over the appendage.

主权项

1. An auxiliary appendage for attachment to a steerable nozzle for accepting a jet stream, said attachment comprising:
a. a first rudder blade coupled to said steerable nozzle; b. a second rudder blade coupled to said steerable nozzle; c. wherein said first rudder blade is parallel to said second rudder blade; d. a deflection bar coupled to said first rudder blade and said second rudder blade; e. a torsion spring attached to at least one rudder blade, wherein said torsion spring is capable of providing a downward torsion force on said first rudder blade and said second rudder blade; f. wherein said deflection bar is angled towards said steerable nozzle; and g. wherein said auxiliary appendage pivots between a downward position and an upward position.
