Note(s)

In this subclass, the following terms or expressions are used with the meanings indicated:

  • "wind motor" means a mechanism for converting the energy of natural wind into useful mechanical power, and the transmission of such power to its point of use;
  • "rotor" means the wind-engaging parts of the wind motor and the rotary member carrying them;
  • "rotation axis" means the axis of rotation of the rotor.
