GORDON PHILLIPS, 0F COBALT, ONTARIO, CANADA.
AIR-COMPRESSOR.
Application filed April 16, 1918.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GORDON PHILLIPS, of the town of Cobalt, in the District of Nipissing, in the Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Air-Compressors, of which the following is the specification.
My invention relates to improvements in air compressors and the object of the invention is to devise simple means whereby the force of an incoming wave may be utilized for compressing air, and it consists essentially of the following arrangement and construction of parts as hereinafter more particularly explained.
The drawing represents a perspective view of my device partially broken away and in section.
1 indicates a rectangular chamber, the front wall I of which extends from the top of the chamber to a point intermediately of its height so as to form a wave inlet orifice 2 extending the full length of the chamber at the bottom. The bottom wall of the chamber 3 is provided with a ledge 4, the upper face of which curves upwardly at 5 so as to merge into the back wall of the chamber or compartment 1. The end walls 6 and 7 of the chamber 1 extend outwardly so as to form a pair of opposing outwardly diverging sea walls 8 and 9.
10 and 11 indicate supplemental chambers carried by the walls 6 and 7 and open at the top. 12 and 13 indicate cylinders secured within each chamber 10 and 11 so as to be free of the side walls thereof. The cylin ders 12 and 13 are open at the top. Each cylinder 12 and 13 is provided with a piston 141- provided with a valve 15. 16 indicates a cross head. 17 indicate piston rods connected at their upper ends to the cross head and at their lower ends to the heads 14. 18 indicates a float connected by hangers 19 to the cross head 16.
20 indicates a vertical runway secured to each wall of the chamber 1. 22 indicate grooved rollers engaging the runways 20, such rollers being journaled in brackets 23 carried by the float 18. 24: indicate buffers secured to the inner face of the walls of the chamber 1 and designed to engage the bottom of the float 18 when in its lowermost position. Having described the principal parts involved in my invention I will briefly describe the operation of the same.
As the wave rolls inwardly between the Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 228,859.
walls 8 and 9 it is gathered together increasing its volume and depth. As the wave breaks it strikes the curved portion 5 and directed upwardly against the bottom of the float 18'. As the water level rises in the chamber 1 the float is carried upwardly by the force of the water and by its own buoyancy thereby lifting the cross head 16 and piston 14 to the upper end of each cylinder 12 and 13. As the heads are carried upwardly air is carried through the valve 15 into the bottom portion of each cylinder 12 and 13. As soon as the water recedes and the float 18 is relieved of the action of the water thereon it acts as a weight which draws the piston 14 downward in the cylinders 12 and 13 thereby compressing the air in the lower end of the cylinder, which is carried off through suitable ducts 14* controlled by a non-return valve, not shown.
From this description it will be seen that I have devised a very simple device whereby the force of waves and the buoyant action thereof on the float may be utilized to compress air so that it may be stored in suitable reservoir for utilization.
What I claim as my invention is:
1. An air compressor comprising a chamber located within and in proximity to the edge of a body of water and extending above the water level, a partial wall front extending from the top of the chamber to a point below the water level and intermediate of the height of the chamber, diverging walls extending toward the deep water from each end of the chamber so as to direct the water into the chamber below the front wall and against the front wall to increase the height of the head of water adjacent the chamber, a float weight located within the chamber against which the inflowing water is carried to rise to the height of the head formed outside the chamber, and air compressing means operated by the downward fall of the float weight as the head recedes.
2. An air compressor comprising a chamber located within and in proximity to the edge of a body of water and extending above the water level, a partial wall front extending from the top of the chamber to a point below the water level and intermediate of the height of the chamber, diverging walls extending toward the deep water from each end of the chamber so as to direct water into the chamber below the front wall and against the front Wall to increase the height of the head of water adjacent the chamber,
weight to move vertically, walls surrounding the float weight and adjacent thereto and carrying the guideways and having an open- 15 ing in the front wall adapted to admit the incoming wave to beneath the float weight, and means for gathering the wave together to enter such opening.
