JAMES CHARLES, OF RICHMOND, INDIANA.
SYSTEM 0F HYDRAULIC-POWER UTILIZATION.
Application led November 16, 1918.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES CHARLES, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing in the city of Richmond, in the county of Wayne, State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful System of Hydraulic-Power Utilization, of which the following is a full, clear, and comprehensive specification and exposition, the same being such as will enable others to construct and apply the same with exactitude.
The object of this invention, broadly speaking, is to provide a system of draulic power utilization which will be simple in character, practical in application, comparatively easy to install, and in which thle cost of maintenance will be practically m More specifically stated my object is to provide a system for conserving the water power, especially of small streams, whereby I am able to direct the water power to be delivered rst through a rst nozzle and then further directed and to beA delivered through a second nozzle, whereby I am able to utilize the full power directed ribbon like to a water-wheel or motor to be rotated thereby.
Other subsidiary and particular objects will suggest themselves in the course of the following description, and that which is new will be correlated in the appended claims.
The preferred means for carrying out my inventionin a practical and mechanically efficient manner 1s shown in the accompanying drawings, in which-Figure 1 is a top plan view of my complete construction. Fig. 2 is a vertical cross section as taken, forinstance, on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1. And Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the second or delivery nozzle, the driven element being removed, and showing the head-gate or cutoE therebeyond.
Similar indices denote like parts throughout the several views.
In order that the theory and the principles of my invention may be more fully understood and appreciated I will now take up a detailed description thereof, in which I will set forth the various features as fully and as comprehensively as I may.
Referring now to the drawings in concrete detail, letter A designates the basin, which is adapted to contain the head of accumulated water to be utilized, the said basin being formed with walls B and B',
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Mar. 11, 1919.
Serial No. 262,792.
Connected with the nozzle D is the flume Y or conduit E, which projects at substantially right-angles to the wall of the basin, and it rests on the base B. The outer portion of `the fiume converges into the metal nozzle S,
forming a continuation thereof, and said nozzle S has a slot or mouth F in the end thereof, which is of less dimension than the nozzle D. v
A head gate G, operative in the flume E,
is adapted to provide means for cutting offthe passage of water through the flume.
Letter H denotes the raceway by which water is admitted in the basin from the source of supply. And I denotes the overflow, to prevent the basin from overflowing.
Letter J denotes the water-wheel, the same having the side flanges K-K, and with paddles or buckets L extending between the flanges and projecting from the periphery of the wheel. Said wheel is secured on the shaft M which is mounted for rotation in the frame N. Also a pulley P is secured on the shaft M, from which the power developed may be taken to perform useful operations.
The lower peripheral portion of the wheel revolves in the segmental race R which corresponds with the curvature of the wheel, thereby retaining the water in contact with the paddles of the wheel until the full force of the water is spent to rotate the wheel, and the combined force of the concentrated pressure of the water results in revolving the wheel either at great speed or with a maximum of power.
In practice the gate G may be closed, after which the basin A may be filled with water from the race H. Desiring now to transmit power to the pulley P one has only to raise the gate G a short distance, thereby permitting a ribbon of water to issue from the mouth F of the nozzle S, which of course will be directed. upon the paddles L of the wheel, thereby causing the wheel to revolve. It is evident that the comparatively large head of water in the basin A, concentrated at D, and further concentrated at S, will issue from the slot F with tremendous force,
and all of this force will be eXerted to revolve the wheel, thereby accomplishing the .desideratum of this invention.
branch umes each extending to its wheel,`
thereby further multiplying the power to be exerted on the shaft M. I desire that it be understood that the form and proportions ofthe several parts may be variously changed to meet varying conditions, without departing from the spirit of this invention or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof.
Having now fully shown and described Imy invention, what I claimv and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, 1s-
l. A system of hydraulic power utilizaf tion including a permanent base, a basin (formed thereon, the basin being formed with vertical outer walls and upwardly flaring inner walls terminating at their lower ends in a large slot-like nozzle, a fiume connected withv said nozzleand extending slightly downward from right-angle thereto, said fiume being formed tapering' both laterally and vertically, a small nozzle forming the' terminal of the outer end of the flume they same being located on-the basedandu at a distance laterally from the basin, and a head-gate located inthe flume, all substantially as shown and described and for the purposes set forth.
2. A system of hydraulic power utilizaf Y tral lower portion thereof and terminating 'A in a slot which opens intoa fiume extending outward-upon the baseV at substantially right-angles tol thevbasinl, a raceway leading into the top of the basin, an overiiow leading from the topof'the basin, said flume being formed convergently froinsaid slot, a metal nozzle forming the; outerterminal of said flume and adapted to deliver a horizon- 7 tal ribbon of water, and a head-gate adapted to control the flow of water-through the flume, all substantially as shownv and described, and: for the purposes.- setforth.
Inx testimony whereof I have hereunto i) subscribed my name to this specification. 'in
