IMPROVEMENT IN ROTATING- ENGINES.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
To all Iwhom it lnul-y concern Be it known that' I, DAVID SMITH Mossy; of Valdosta, in the county of Lowndes and State ot' Georgia, have invented a new and usei'ul Improvement inItotatingEngines; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, which" will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had 'to the accompanying drawing forming part of 'this specification.
This invention relates to a new and useful improvement in that class ot" engines where'water, steam, or other elasticl tiuid acts continuously upon the wheel, thereby avoiding the use ot' a crank; and
It consists in arranging a series of adjustable buckets. ou a revolving wheel, in combination with a suitably constructed chamber and passage-way, as hereinai'ter more fully described.A l The accompanying drawing representsa vertical section of a wheel constructed and arranged accortiing to my invention.
A is adisk or-drum, securely fastened to a cent-ral shaft, B, which revolves on' journals in suit-able bearings, as indicated by the dotted lines ill the drawing.
`(l represents the buckets, ot' which there may be more or less in number. l
These buckets C are each'connected to the wheel by one or more tongues, D, which are pivoted to the rim ot' the drum or wheel A, as seen in the drawing.
The buckets are curved in form, so that theirinner surfaces tit on to the circumference of the wheel, and form a border thereon, as seen, when they are not acted upon by the motive power employed.
Eis the chamber into which the steam or water is introduced from the pipe I".
G Ais the passage-way or channel. Each of the'buckets, being hung on one or more pivot-s, is free to d rop by its own gravity as it passes down into the chamber through throat H, or is forced down, where steam or other elastic tluitl isemployed,
,by the introduction of such fluid behind the outer sloping ends ot the bucket.
When the bucket opens, as seen in the' lower portion ofthe wheel, they are made to tightly tit the channel G, so-that thejvater or steam cannot escape past them, thus causing the whole force to be exerted to revolve the wheel.
. Power is conveyed from the wheel by means oi' a ference ot' the wheel, thereby greatly lessening the eounter-tiictioiml pressure.
2. 'I.`he steam or water-chest II E I", constructed ,and applied tothe wheel, as and t'or the purpose specified.
