WATER-MOTO R.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 272,105, dated` February 13, 1883.
` l Application filed July 22, 1882. (No model.)
To all whom vit may concern:
Be it known that we, ALBERT A. WALKER a nd THADEUS J. BAcKUs, citizens of the United States, residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Water-Motors, of which the followingisa specification.
Our invention relates to improvements in the construction of the inlet-cup of a watermotor, as will be hereinafter fully set forth.
The mechanism of said improvements is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in
which Figure lis a side-view of the water-mo-V tor. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section of the same on the line x. Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal section of the case.
Similar letters refer to similar parts th roughout the several views.
A represents the case, constructed wholly of galvanized iron, with the exceptions ofthe inlet-cup C and the circular plates D, which embrace the shaft. The inlet-cup is of castiron and has a division-plate, N, through which are one or more orifices for the passage of the water to the wheel. The water striking the Wheel from above in vertical line remainingin" the-buckets about one-fourthV the circumference ofthe wheel, the wheel is not unnecessarily weighted by the water, and there is therefore less friction on the shaft. To the top is bolted a plate, w. having a suitable device for attaching a iiexible hose or iron tubing. The lower part isviianged, and when placed over the opening in the rim of the case the said flange is soldered tothe same inclose proximity to the wheel. The bottom of the case is greatly expanded to let the water escape freely from the wheel, and an outlet-orifice at the lowest point is provided for the discharge of the Water. The case is supported by straps of iron G, connecting the case to the top of the frame. These straps of iron chieliy support the" case, and thereby relieve the circular plates from producing much friction on the shaft. The circular plates are nicely litted to the shaft to prevent the escape of water, and s erve to arrest vibration of the sides of the case.
The frame F is of cast-iron, and consists of l four parts-the two side pieces with legs and the end pieces-the same being bolted together. At the center longitudinally is a bearing for the shaft J, which is held by the ordinaryjournal-cap.
The rim of the wheel B is made of galvanized iron, and consists of two annular rims united to a circular bottom, thus forming a peripheral channel, across which a series of buckets are secured. The rim is connected to the hub by iron rods lm, which screw into said hub and are tightened by jam-nuts, andl pass through an orifice in the bottom of the rim, and are there secured by nuts on bo'th sides. The hubis keyed to theshaft, and by the attachment ofa pulley to said shaft the power is transmitted. As the wheel is constructed, the water strikes the buckets and can only escape by passing between the bucket-edge and the case until the open space is reached at the bottom of the case, where the Water .is freely discharged from the closed buckets.
The motor is used where water is furnished from pipes holding water subjected to pressure, and the wheel is acted upon by the combined percussive and gravitatin g force of the water. The ingress of the water is above the center and the egress from the wheel commences about an equal distance below, so that the buckets of about one-fourth of the wheel are continuously supplied, either full or partially so, and the uninterrupted jet from the division-plate gives the fullest pcrcussive effect on the wheel.
Having fully described our invention, what we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The inlet-cup C, with flange of curve corresponding to the case A of plate metal, acap for pipe-connection, and a division-plate having an orifice to direct thejet slightly inwardly from a vertical line upon the buckets ofthe wheel, the said parts combined substantially as set forth.
