TOY WATER MOTOR.
CATION FILED JUNE8 I APPL 191B- 1,29%,050a I Patented Feb. 11, 1919.
"DOUGLAS" L. CI-IUTE, 0F BERWICK, N OVA SCOTIA, CANADA.
TOY' 'WATER-MOTOR.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 11, 1919.
Application filed June 8, 1918. Serial No. 239,003.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, DOUGLAS L. CHUTE, a citizen of Canada, residing at Berwick, in the Province of Nova Scotia and Dominion of Canada, have invented new and useful Improvements in Toy Water-Motors, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an improved toy water motor, the object of the invention being to provide an improved toy of this character which is simple in construction and which can be operated by water supplied from a bucket of any suitable capacity, or other Water containing vessel, by a siphon, which siphon is so constructed as to be used in connection with water containing vessels of various sizes to facilitate the operation of the toy.
With the above and other objects in view the invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of devices hereinafter described and claimed.
In the accompanying drawing Figure 1 is a side elevation, partly in section of a toy water motor constructed and arranged in accordance with my invention, and showing the same arranged in operative relation to a Water containing bucket.
Fig. 2 isa detail vertical sectional view of the water wheel.
Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of one member of the frame.
The frame of my improved toy water motor comprises a substantially U-shaped member 14: having vertical arms of unequal length, the shorter arm 15 having an open bearing 16 at its upper end for the axle 3 of the water wheel 2 and the longer arm 17 having a bearing opening 18 for said axle. At the upper end of said arm 17 is a tubular support 19. A member 6 is also provided which is substantially L-shaped. A water discharge trough 10, which is arranged below the water Wheel, is secured on the lower portion of the member 14 and also on the lower arm of the member 6. Said member 6 has a bearing at its upper end in which a shaft 7 is mounted, said shaft being a countor-shaft and being provided with a pulley 8 which is connected by an endless cord 9 with a pulley on one end of the shaft of the water wheel as shown in Fig. 1.
The water wheel and its frame are here shown as arranged on a suitable supporting base 5, which may be a table top or the like. A suitable vessel 11 is also employed to receive water discharged from the trough 10 after having passed over the wheel. A water supply tube 12 is secured in the support 19 and its upper end is connected to the discharge arm of a siphon 14 which draws water from a suitable vessel 13.
The long arm 15 of the siphon is rigid, and in practice is a metallic tube or other suitable tube and is provided at the upper end with a curved elbow 16, integral or rigid therewith and which fits over the wall of the bucket or vessel 13. The inner arm 17 of the siphon, or in other words the siphon arm which is arranged in the vessel, is in practice a rubber or other suitable flexible tube which is attached to the elbow 16 and is extended down to the bottom or nearly to the bottom of the vessel. The outer or long arm of the siphon extends downwardly to a point a suflicient distance below the level of the bottom of the bucket or supply vessel 13 to insure siphonic action and cause water to flow from the bucket, through the siphon, to the head trough 13 and to be supplied to the water wheel, so as to cause the water wheel to rotate.
The length of the flexible inner arm of the siphon is such as to enable the siphon to be used in a vessel of any size so that any suitable vessel which may be at hand can be used in operating the motor.
My improved water toy motor is extremely cheap and simple, and affords a great deal of amusement and instruction to children and others interested in such devices.
Having thus described the invention I claim The herein described toy water motor comprising a U-shaped frame member having a support at its upper end for a water supply tube, an L-shaped frame member spaced from the first named member, a water wheel having an axle shaft mounted in bearings in bearing at the upper end of the L-shaped the first named member and provided at one member and provided with a pulley, and an end of the axle shaft with a pulley, a water endless cord connecting said pulley with the 10 discharge trough below the Water Wheel and first named pulley.
5 secured on the lower portion of said frame In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
members and connecting said frame members together, a counter shaft mounted in a DOUGLAS L. CHUTE.
