EDWARD F. HUNT, OF CORNTON, VERMONT.
HVIPROVEMENT IN GATES FOR WATER-WHEELS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 124,273, dated March 5, 1872.
Specification describing a new and useful Improvement in Gates for W'aterVheels, invented by EDWARD F. HUNT, of Cornton, in the county ot' lNindham and State ot' Vermont.
Figure l represents a horizontal section of niy improved Water-Wheel, the line c c, Fig. 2, indicating the plane of section. Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse section of the same on the .line k k, Fig. 1.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
This invention relates to a new gate arrangement for ivater-ivheels, with the object of maliing it convenient to reverse the gates for admission ot' Water from either direction, and thus adapt the case and gates to right andleft-handed wheels. The invention consists in the application to the stationary Wheel-case of swivelguides, in which the gates can slide When moved by the turning ot the ring to Which they are pivoted.
A in the dra-Wing represents the crown-plate; B, the annular base of a stationary Wheel-case. U U are the two rings to which the inner ends ot' the gates D D are pivoted. These rings are held to the parts A B, substantially as indicated in Figs. l and 2, and can be turned by pin ion and segment a b, or other equivalent means. To the tlanges of the parts A B are hung swivel-pins d d, which have forked heads to receive the upper and lo wered ges, respectively, (or one of them only,) ot' the gates D D. When, by turning the rings C, the inner ends ofthe gates are carried at a greater or less angle to the stationary anges of A B, their outer parts will be guided and slide in the swivel-pins d, thereby giving the requisite change of position, as indicated by full and dotted lines in Fig. 1. It is quite' evident that, by merely reversing the position of the pivots ofthe gates, their direction otposition and motion can be also reversed to fit a right or lett-handed wheel.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The pivoted gates D D, arranged in combination with the forked swivel-pins d d, substantially as herein shown and described.
EDWARD F. HUNT.
