JAOOB WOOLF, OF BURR OAK, MICHIGAN.

Letters Patent No. 108,547, dated October 18, 187'0.A

IMPROVEMENT' IN MECHANICAL MOVEMENTS.

The Schedule referred to in tuese Letters Patent and making part of the same I, JACOB IVOOLF, of .Burr Oak, in the county of St. Joseph and State of Michigan, have invented a new and improved Mechanical Movement, of which the following is a specification.

Nature and Object of the Invention..

' plied in the direction of the rotation of the primary wheels, and any liability of stopping on dead point-s is entirely prevented.

Description of the Accompanying Drawing. Figure lisa perspective view of a machine embodying my invention.

Figure 2 is an elevation of the same.

General Description.

A is a standard, mounted upon abcd, B, and supporting a stationary shaft, C, upon which a sleeve, I), is fitted to turn freely.

On the sleeve D are firmly keyed one or more wheels, E El E, and one or more pulleys, F.

A series of cranks G are mounted in the wheels E and El.

The wrists of the said cranks are pivoted to a weighted disk or annular, H, near the periphery thereof.V The arms of the cranks G are vertical, or nearly so, and to the shafts of said cranks, in front of the primary wheel E, are attached horizontal levers I.

J J are secondary cranks, having arms at right angles to those of the cranks G, but rigidly connected The shaft N may also carry a pulley, P, for driving machinery, and either a ratchet-wheel, Q, for an escapeinent, and pendulum to regulate .the movement,

or a pinion, It, to connect with a governor and a piilg ley, T, to which may be applied a brake, operated by the governor.

Operation.

Horse, water, steam, or 'other power being applied I by any suitable mechanism, with a downward pressure to the levers I, in succession, at a point where the said levers project across the central shaft O, the cranks G bearing horizontally against the wheel H, and the cranks J pressing upward against the wheel K, the weight of these .wheels counteracts the turning of the cranks, and will combine with the pressure upon the levers to impart a continuous, uniform revolution to all the various wheels, and to the drivingshaft N, from whichpower may be transmitted to any machinery.

.Ihe shaft N, in the manner in which it is combined with the connected system of whe'els, either through the medium of the gearing M h, or the crossed belt S andpnlleys O I",'or other device to accomplish the same end, has an important effect in holding the weights H and K in proper relative positions, the center of gravity of the weight H being below the axis of main wheels E E1 E2, and that of the weight K on one side thereof.

From the above description it n'illappear that each of the weights H and K, while revolving around the shaft O, has a rotation upon its own proper axis.

Claims.

I claim as my invention- The combination of the levers I, curved or bent, to adapt them to pass the fulcrum of `each other and the end of the shaft O, two or more wheels E-E revolving on the said shaft, two or more annular weights H K,eccentric each to the other and to the shaft O, and

cach revolving on its own axis while traveling around sition, above specified. y

' JACOB WOOLF.
