Letters Patent No. 106,331, dated Augdst 16, 1870.
IMPROVEMENT m PADnL'E-wnems.
The Schedule referred to these Letters Patent and making part of the same and use the same, reference being had to the ac-- compan'ying drawing forming part of this specifica tion.
This invention relates to improvements in feather- I ing paddle-wheels for steamboats, and consists in an improved arrangement of wheel or wheel-rim, mounted eccentrically to the paddle-wheel, and having the cranked axis of the buckets connected to it, for caus. ing the feathering ofthe buckets, all as hereinafter more fully described.
Figure 1. is a side elevation of a paddlc-wheel and featheringapparatus, according to my invention, and in the working position.
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the same, when adjusted to throw the paddles out of action, asit is sometimesrequired to do with one wheel, to turn in a short space.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
A are the paddle-wheels.
. the paddles.
1; the cranks connected to the axles, on which the said paddles are capable of turning.
D is the wheel-rim to which the cranks are connected, and which is mounted eccentrically to the axis of the paddle-wheel.
This rim 1) has a smaller rim, E, by which it is mounted on the friction-rollers F, so as to run eccentric-ally in the manner required for the feathering action.
In this case the cranks are so set, relatively to the planes of the paddles, that the horizontal plane of the axis of the eccentric wheel, when in the position for holding-the paddles in the working posit-ion, is considerably below the plane of the axis of the paddlewheel, and the vertical plane is a short distance to the left of the vertical plane of the paddle-wheel.
The grooved friction-wheels F, on which the wheelrim D is mounted, are mounted on the journals G of the crank-arms H, which are journaled at I in suitable bearings, and these crank-arms are connected by bars K.
One of the axles at I is provided with a hand-lever, L, or it may be any other suitable device by which it can be oscillated and held in the required position for holding the said \vhcel rim, and for shifting it to throw the paddles out of action.
When this lever is in the vertical position, as shown in fig. l, the paddle will be. in the working position,
and when turned down to the position shown in fig. 2, the paddles will be shifted so as to run through the water edgewise, andhave little or no propelling effee-t.
The combination, with the paddle-wheels and the paddles, of the wheel-rim D, rim E, grooved rollers 1 crank-arm H, bar K, and a shifting-lever, L, all arranged substantially as specified.
