UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOHN UPHAM VALLIS, OF DANVILLE, NEW' YORK.
PADDLE-WI-IEEL.
Specication of Letters Patent No. 13,190, dated July 3, 1855.
- reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification,
p in which- Figure Lis a side view of a paddle wheel constructed according to my invention; Fig.
2, is a front view of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both gures.
This invention consists in a certain method of constructing the wheel and attaching and securing the floats or buckets whereby great simplicity of construction and great strength are combined.
A, is a wheel having a single central rim a, to the opposite sides of which the paddle floats B, B, are attached. This wheel may be made entirely of cast iron or partly of cast and partly of wrought iron, or partly of iron and part-ly of wood. The floats B, B, may be of wood or iron, and are to be of trapeziform or of trapezoidal shape, the outer ends being wider than the inner ends or those next to the wheel, and they may be set at such degree of Obliquity as may be desirable. The ends of the floats next the wheel are connected by bolting, riveting, or clamping, and at the outer ends they are stayed to the wheel by stii stays Z), b, of
wood or metal. Similar stays may also be applied anywhere between the inner and outer ends of the floats. The points or vertices of the V formed buckets which the several pairs of floats constitute, are to enter the water first so that the buckets divide the water like a wedge, and thus the buckets pass through the water like a wedge, but every part of the floats enters and leaves the water nearly edgewise so as to meet with the least possible resistance, and it is only while making such part of the revolution as to exert their force in the proper direction to give a good propulsive effect that the buckets meet with any considerable resistance, during which part of their revolution they take a good hold of the water, and all the power applied is expended in urging the vessel directly through the water. l/Vheels constructed according to this invention may be used in pairs at the sides of the vessel like the common paddle wheels or singly in the center or stern.
What I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is- Attaching the innermost or central portion of the buckets rigidly to a single wheel or central rim a, and staying the outer portions thereof to the said rim by stays b, substantially as described whereby t-he construction of the wheel is simplified and great strength is obtained.
JOHN UPHAM WALLIS.
