'ALEXANDER C. LESNER, OEFONDA, ASSIGNOR 'IO HIMSELF AND ABRAM V. DAVIS, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
IMPROVEMEN'YI IN WATER-WHEELS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 132,298, dated October 15, 1872.
top View, partly in section, of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
The invention relates to a new construction of gate mechanism for a water-wheel; and consists in bracing the top of the cylindrical gate by a frame-Work which extends over the wheel, and in slottin g the stationary external chute-cylinder to admit the projecting arm from the gate to which the toothed segment for adjusting the gate is attached. By the Y use ofthis invention the gate-cylinder is braced and prevented from springing to one side or the other, and from consequently bearing against the wheel or chute-cylinder, or both, and hindering the operation by excess of friction.
In the accompanying drawing, the letter A represents the water-Wheel; B, the gate-cylin- The wheel is mounted upon the shaft D, and has buckets of suitable style and number. The gate-cylinder embraces the wheel, and is interposed between the same and the chute-cylinder. The openings through the latter and through the gate-cylinder are, respectively, equal in number with the buckets of the wheel. The
cylinder B has a liange, a, at the upper edge overlapping the wheel, and arms b b extending from said flange to an inner ring, d, thaty of the cylinder C, and crosses at its outer end the toothed segment f. A pinion, whose teeth en gage into those of the segment, serves, whenv turned, to turn the gatecylinder, to enlarge or reduce the openings to the Wheel. The pinion can be turned by suitable means. The step of the Wheel may be made'vertically and horizontally adjustable to center and keep the Wheel always in the desired position.
It is evident that in the upper bracing-frame of the gate-cylinder theiange al may be dispensed with if the arms b reach directly to the cylinder.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. rIhe gate-cylinder B, interposed between the wheel A and chute-cylinder C, and braced on top by the frame b d., substantially as herein set forth.
2. The gate-cylinder, provided with the projecting arm e and segment f, and combined .with the chute-cylinder C, which is slotted to admit the arm e, substantially as herein set forth.
