UNITED STATES PATENT OFFIoE.
DAVID K. KRAATZ, OF EPHRATA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF OF HIS RIGHT TO A. S. BABE, OF BAREVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA.
IMPROVEMENT IN VERTICAL-SCREW WATER-WHEELS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 118,863, dated September 12, 1871.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, DAVID K. KRAATZ, of Ephrata, in the county of Lancaster and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved Water-Wheel 5 and I hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing which forms a portion of this specification, in Which- Figiue l is a side elevation, and Figs. 2, 3, and 4 are views of portions of the same detached.
A vertical tube, E, descending from a scrollhead, 0, forms the casing for the reception of the loosely-fitting and spiral1y-winged shaft S of my improved Water-Wheel. The said casing is secured in a stiff and strong frame, and may be made of any suitable material. Suitable bearings or j ournal-boxes mustbe provided for the journals of the shaft S, which bearings or journal-boxes must be properly located and firmly secured Within the supporting frame-Work of the Water-Wheel casin g. The water has a threefold action upon my improved Water-wheel, to Wit: First, the Water acts by percussion as it enters the scroll-shaped head of the casing; second, it acts by friction and gravity as it descends through the spiral channels oi the wheel; and third, the propelling Water as it escapes from the Wheel reacts upon the stationary water which incloses the base of the same; and, consequently, I contend that my improved water-Wheel is the most efiicient in action and the most economical in construction of any Water-Wheel previously known to the public.
I claim as my invention The combination of the scroll-head O and the vertical casing-tube E with each other and with the spirally-Winged water-Wheel S, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.
DAVID K. KRAATZ.
