WATER-WHEEL.
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Sept. 17, 1918- Application filed July 11, 1917. Serial No. 179,936.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HARRY GAMLEN, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at Chemainus, in the Province of British Columbia and Dominion of Canada, have invented new and useful Improvements in Water-Wheels, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to water wheels and it consists in the novel features hereinafter described and claimed.
.An object of the invention is to provide a runner for a Water wheel-structure which includes buckets and wings assembled upon the disk of the runner ina manner to sufficiently use the force of the water to propel the runner.
With this object in view the runner includes a diskhaving spoon shaped buckets mounted at the periphery thereof and blades mounted at its opposite sides between the said. buckets. The outer and mner surfaces of the said blades converge toward each other and the inner edges of the blades are spaced from each other whereby thewater which is discharged between the blades is directed into the buckets and operates the bot-' toms thereof in a manner to direct the force from the water toward the central portions of the buckets and hence utilize the same for the purpose of turning the disk.
In the accompanying drawing 5 Figure 1 is a top plan view of the runner of the water wheel;
Figs. 2 and 3 are detailed sectional views cut on lines 2-2 and 3-3 respectively of Fig. 1.
The runner of the water wheel comprises disk lwhich may be closed at its intermedi ate portion or provided with spokes asdesired. Spoon shaped buckets 2 are mounted at the periphery of from each other. Wings 3 are mounted at the opposite sides of the disk 1 and between the buckets 2. The outer and inner surfaces of the wings 3 converge toward each other and the smaller portions of the said wings are located directly in front of the hollows in the buckets 2. The edges of the wings at the opposite sides of the disk 1 are spaced from each other and the forward edges of the wings 3 at the opposite sides of the disk 1 lie in lines which inclose larger areasthan the areas inclosed by the edges of the hollows in the spoon shaped buckets 2. Any
the disk 1 and are spaced suitable securing devices may be employed for attaching the buckets and wings to the disk or the said buckets and, wings may if desired be made integral with the disk.
Any suitable form of easing may be provided for inclosing the runner and when a jet of water is discharged against the buckets and the wings, the buckets by reason of their peculiar configuration will cleave through the jet of water thus preventing back pressure or strain and when they arrive in alinement with the path of movement of the jet of water the said wings will direct the jet.
into the central portions of the bottoms of the buckets and hence thebuckets are successively subjected to the major force of the stream of water and this force is transmitted through the disk to the shaft upon which it is mounted and consequently the maximum force of the stream of water which is discharged against the buckets and wings is utilized. I
From the foregoing description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, it will be seen that a Water wheel runner of simple and durable structure is provided and that the parts thereof are so an ranged as to obtain maximum efliciency from the stream of water which is used for operating the runner.
Having described the invention what is claimed is 1. A water wheel runner comprising a disk, spoon shaped buckets mounted at the periphery thereof, blades mounted upon the disk at the opposite tween the said buckets, said blades being the bottom of the bowl of the adjacent spoon shaped bucket.
In testimony w ereof I afiix my signature.
