To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, MADISON T. B. WASH; moron, a citizen of the United States, re-

tors or devices for transforming rotary into oscillatory movement, or vice versa, and consists of the peculiar mechanism hereinafter fully described and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is anend elevation of the device in a preferred embodiment, partly in section on the line 11 of Fig. 2, and Fig. 2 is a on the Several figures of the drawings similar parts are referred to) by like reference wheel 15, through anyof which power may fly wheel f A pair of bell similar view taken at right angles tothatof Fig.1, the section being onthe line 2-2 of Fig. 1. Throughout the IfOllOWlnQdGSCrlPtlQll and characters.

At 10 is indicated. any suitable form of support or frameyupon which-is journaled at 11a counter shaft 12.. On this shaft may be secured any suitable means, such as a I ,I claim as new anddesire to protect by Letters Patent of the United States is: v o 1. The combination of a prime mover including a rotary shaft, a disk, a pendulum adapted to oscillate adjacent said disk, a pin and slotconnectionnbetween said disk and the pendulum whereby the'latter may beope'rated from the prime mover, a pair of bell 7 gear wheel 13, a pulley 14c, or a sprocket be conveyed to any desired place for use. A 16 also may be "employed on 'said shaft. T

M is a motor or ed from a support 22 near the upper/part of the frame 10. It wlll be understood,

, however, that the disk might be grooved to accommodate a pinprojecting from the pen-f dulum, without departing from thesp 'rlt of the invention.

; .on the frame on opposite sides and insubstantially the plane of oscillation of the pendulum, agziiristthetoes 25 of which the pendulum alternately andsuccessively im pinges, causing the bell cranksto oscillate on said pivots 24:. Each bell crank 23 is so designed and counterpoised, as by a prime mover, of any dea" sired nature or power, from whiohthede: vice may be driven: ,"Said motor is shownas including a shaft 17 provided withfa crank disk l8 of any suitable size'orheft and 'hav ing a wrist pin 19 operating, as shown, in a slot 20 in a pendulum 21, pivotallysuspendcranks 23 are Piibted at 24:

Each ibell crank, furthermore, is provided with an operating pawl 29 arranged to engage and drive a ratchet wheel 30 on the aforesaid shaft 12, whereby the alternate and successive reciprocations of the pawls .will produce al'continuous rotation of said shaft." Each pawl is maintained in proper MAiJI son'r. :B. wasi-rrnero v, or New Yoftk, a, ,s%;,yassraaca oFOIIE-YFI H O I i X w s ecific-mi a 3f r ls gf t ht d s ptl; 1914',

Upon rotation of the shaft 17 and disk 18 through the rimemover M the wrist pin 19 30 through thej pawls 29. The fly wheel will cause a substantially steady rotation of the driven shaft 12, and by virtue of the inter- 1 mediate mechanism described and illustrated such rotation of the shaft 12will be much; -more powerful thanthat of the shaft 1 though at a slowerlangular velocity.

Having thus described my invention, what cranks pivoted on opposite sides of the pendulum and in substantially the planeoof its oscillation and adapted to be operated in will cause t e pendulum 21 to oscillate,
