Patents by Inventor Martin Van Egeren

Martin Van Egeren 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).

  • Patent number: 10975840
    Abstract: A wind power plant has at least one rotor. The rotor has at least two rotor blades and each rotor blade is rotatable about a substantially radially aligned adjustment axis. At least one angle adjustment device is provided for adjustment of the rotor blades. The angle adjustment device has a control disk and at least two cam disks interacting with the control disk. Each cam disk is rotatably mounted about a rotation axis. The rotation axis of the respective cam disk coincides, and is in particular superimposed, together with the respective adjustment axis of the respective rotor blade. The noise development, the maintenance expense, and/or costs of a wind power plant are reduced in that the cam disks are functionally effectively permanently coupled via at least one coupling element.

  • Patent number: 7137785
    Abstract: A wind power station has at least one rotor. The rotor has at least one rotor blade, preferably two or more rotor blades. The rotor blade is operatively connected to a rotor shaft. The rotor blade can rotate about a substantially radially extending adjustment axis. At least one adjustment device is provided in order to adjust the rotor blade. Installation effort and labor effort as well as the costs are reduced by the adjustment device having at least one cam disk interacting with a control disk, and by the cam disk being disposed such that the rotation axis of the cam disk coincides with the adjustment axis of the rotor blade.
