BENJAMIN B. LEWIS, CF BRISTOL, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOR TO HIMSELF, AND WELCH, SPRING & CO.
Letters PatentNo. 106,843,1lated August 30, 1870.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same I, BENJAMIN B. LEWIS, of Bristol, in the county of Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Escapements, 'of which the following is a specification.
My invention consists of a verge having' repose-pallets only, in combination with an escapement-wheel provided with hooked teeth, the ends ofwhich teeth are beveled, and act upon the ends ot' the verge, giving them the necessaryimpulse to propel the pendulum-rod and ball.
The accompanying drawing is a front view of an esca-pement ot' luy-invention.
A designates the eseapement-wheel, havinghooked teeth, the sides of which teeth are parallel, ornenrly so, and the ends of which are slightly beveled. 1 B designates averge, provided with repose-pallets, a a, both of'whieh are alike, or nearly so.
The. ends of the metall forming,r each Vpallet a a, are rounded, to present a smooth surface to the beveled ends of the teeth of the escapementwhcel A.
Thewheel and verge can be pivoted to the plates of the clock in any of the ordinary modes; but, for a cheap clock, I prefer to'arrange the escapement-wheel in front oi' both ofthe movement-plates, and pivot the verge by ears, in the same manner of pivoting the common recoil-verge.
The operation is as follows: Theends of the verge alternately swing into the space between the teeth of the eseapement'wheel,
while one corner of one of the teeth rests upon onev ythe verge acts upon the escapernent-wheel,' as before,
The advantages of my invention are, that the verge is reversible, so that it can be worked with the crotch- -wire in either direction, and that I produce a tlrstclass escapement, which can be made atas small a cost as any other escapement.
I claim as my invention- 4 The eseapement-wheel A, constructed with the beveled end teeth, as shown, in combination with the verge B, having repose-pallets only, both constructed and operating together substantially as described.
BENJAMIN B. LEWIS. Witnesses: S. C. SPRING, JAMES SHEPARD.
