Description

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE. N
JOHN F. DANIELS, OF FOXBOROUGH, MASSACHUSETTS.
IMPROVEMENT IN WATER-WHEELS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 119,580, dated October 3,1871; antedated September 22, 1871.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN F. DANIELS, of Foxborough, in the county of Norfolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a certain new and useful Improved Water-Wheel, of which the following is a speeication:
The nature of my invention consists of combining a series of peculiarly-constructed buckets with two chain-belts and sets of sprocket-wheels, the whole so combined and arranged as to form an improved water-motor.
Figure 1 is aperspective view of my improved motor. Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of one of the buckets. Fig. 3 is a sectional view, showing two of the buckets.
A B is a frame, to which is attached the two wheels D and E, over which the chain-belt C passes. 'One set of th ese wheels should be sprocketed so that the chain belts cannot move without causing them to revolve.
In the drawing I have represented the wheels on the upper shaft as sprocketed, and consequently the upper shaft would be the one from which power would be taken. If desirable to take power from the lower shaft, then the lower wheel should be sprocketed. The chain O may be constructed as represented in the drawin g, or in any of the usual methods of constructing chain-belts, the only peculiarity connected with it being that the rivets which connect the links, are extended into and rigidly attached to the upper side ofthe end of the bucket, as shown at 7c, Fig. 2, the end of the rivet K projecting inwardly through the upper part of one bucket, as shown at k, Fig. 2, and into a corresponding socket or sinkage made in the lower part of the end of the next bucket, as represented at N, Figs. 2 and 3. The bucket is formed as represented in Figs. 2 and 3, is provided with iianges O O, projecting from the front as shown, and so arranged that the flanges, in connection with one bucket, form a kind of sluiceway for directing the water into the bucket below. M M represent small recesses connected with the rear of the buckets, and are so made as to allow room for the downward-projecting ears N of the next bucket to swing in.
I claim as my inventionl. Combining the chain of buckets H Hl H2, having the projecting lianges O O, with the wheels D and E, arranged and constructed substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.
2. The pivot K, in combination with the bucket when so arranged as to form a rivet for the chain, and also as a connection to attach the chain to the upper part of the bucket, and by means of its inwardly projecting point lo to serve to confine the lower part of another bucket.
JOHN F. DANIELS.
