Abstract
A self-adjustable pitch marine vessel propeller attached to a shaft is driven by an engine of a marine vessel, and includes a substantially cylindrical hollow hub and a plurality of blades extending radially outwardly from the hub and being capable of rotating around an axis being in a radial direction relative to the hub. The propeller comprises an actuator movable linearly along the axis of the hub and at least one motion transmission means communicating with the actuator and each blade for converting the linear motion of the actuator into the rotational motion of each blade in a radial direction relative to the axis of the hub and a resilient member communicating with the actuator.

A self-adjustable pitch marine vessel propeller (2) attached to a shaft (1) driven by an engine of a marine vessel, comprising a substantially cylindrical hollow hub (3) and a plurality of blades (10) each extending radially outwardly from said hub (3) and being capable of partially rotating around an axis being radial to the hub (3), characterized in that the propeller comprises an actuator (4) linearly movable along the hub (3) axis;
- at least one motion transmission means (10.2) communicating with the actuator (4) and each blade (10) for converting the linear motion of the actuator (4) into rotational motion of each blade (10) in a radial direction relative to the axis of the hub;
- and a resilient member communicating with the actuator.
