Adam MacGregor Bagnall has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Fluid system
    Patent number: 10240536
    Abstract: A gas turbine engine is disclosed including a bifurcation fairing located in a bypass duct of the gas turbine engine and traversing the radial extent of the bypass duct. The bifurcation fairing has a delivery conduit inlet leading to a delivery conduit extending inside the bifurcation fairing, the delivery conduit being arranged in use for delivery of bypass air to one or more components of the gas turbine engine. A diverter conduit has a diverter conduit inlet from the delivery conduit upstream of the delivery conduit reaching the one or more components of the gas turbine engine. The diverter conduit has an outlet to a location other than the one or more components of the gas turbine engine.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 24, 2015
    Date of Patent: March 26, 2019
    Assignee: ROLLS-ROYCE plc
    Inventors: Adam MacGregor Bagnall, Peter Beecroft, Richard Geoffrey Stretton, Philip Geoffrey Woodrow, Stephane Michel Marcel Baralon, Angus Roy Smith

  • Gas turbine engine having a nose cone assembly rigidly attached in an axial direction but flexible in a radial direction
    Patent number: 8529204
    Abstract: A nose cone assembly for a gas turbine engine comprises a spinner and a plurality of circumferentially spaced mounting members for mounting the spinner on a fan hub of the gas turbine engine. Each of the mounting members is rigid in a generally axial direction and flexible in a generally radial direction.

  • Temperature controlling apparatus
    Patent number: 8206079
    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling the temperature of a component, which is situated in use in a gas stream, provides a nozzle to create a jet of air at an angle to the gas stream, the jet being directed into the region of the stagnation point of the component so as to control the temperature of the component. The invention is particularly suited to preventing or reducing the formation of ice on vanes of gas turbine engines, but may also be applied to other components, and may equally be used in situations where a component is to be cooled rather than heated.
