Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Au. 1'7, 1920.
Application filed October 5, 1917. Serial No. 194,895.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, WILLIAM J. KIN- BACK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bethlehem, in the county of Northampton and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in VatenMotors; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to water motors or water wheels, and the primary object of the invention is to provide a water wheel which may be operated by a comparatively slow moving stream for transmitting power to any suitable type of mechanism, such as an electrical dynamo or the like.
Another object of this invention is to provide a water wheel which comprises a pair of hub members having a plurality of sockets formed therein extending inwardly from their peripheries which receive the spokes of the wheel, to the outer ends of which the paddles or blades are attached, and also to provide a plurality of links which connect the spokes short distances inwardly of the inner edges of the paddles or blades for providing a light durable and strong water wheel.
Vith the foregoing and other objects in view this invention consists in such novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and claimed.
In describing the invention in detail reference will be had to the accompanying drawing wherein like characters designate like and corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which:
Figure 1 is a vertical section water wheel, and
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary side elevation of the wheel.
The wheels support includes pillars 5, upon the upper ends of which are mounted suitable bearing supporting structures (3. A shaft 10 is suitably journaledin the bearings 6.
The wheel structure comprises a pair of hub sections 14 and 15 which are held in connection with the shaft 10, for rotation thereby by means of set screws 16. The hub sections 1 1 and 15 are provided with a pluthrough the rality of substantially frusto-triangularly shaped sockets 17 which extend inwardly from their peripheries, in spaced relation to each other as ciearly shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings. The sockets 17 receive the inner ends of the spokes 18 of the wheel.
The spokes 18 radiate from the center of the hub sections li and 15 and they diverge, as they extend outwardly, as clearly shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings. The spokes 18 have paddles or blades 19 attached to their outer ends. The spokes carried by the hub sections 14; are disposed directly opposite to the spokes carried by the hub sections 15, so that one spoke which is carried by the hub 14 will coact with the corresponding spoke carried by the hub 15 for forming a pair of spokes to which one of the paddles or blades 19 is attached.
The paddles or blades 19 are constructed of angled metal or of wood if desired, having relatively long sides 20 and short sides 21 which are disposed at right angles to the loig sides 20, as clearly shown in Fig. :2 of ti drawings. The blades 19 are dis )osed so that the angled sides 21 in connection with the sides 20 will form a sort of cup, for rece'ving the water and increasing the eili ciency of the wheel 12.
The shaft 10 has a pulley or power trans-- niitting wheel 22 mounted thereon, which may be connected by a belt or suitable transmission to any suitable type of mechanism.
If it is so desired, a battery of the wheels may be provided and all of them connected by suitable power transmitting means to a single machine or series of machines as desired.
The spokes 18 are connected one to the other by brace bars 25, as shown at 26. The braces 25 are positioned short distances inwardly from the inner edges of the blades 19.
From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings the advantages of construction and the method of operation of the improved water motor, will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art to which this invention appertains and, while in the foregoing description, the principle of the operation of this invention has been described together with various features of construction, it is to be understood that certain minor features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts may be altered to suit practical conditions provided such alterations are comof the adjacent links overlapping each other and the links being arranged substantially in an arcuate line around the center of the shaft, each arcuate line lying against one side of the spokes and the other side lying against the opposite sides of the spokes.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature 20 inpresence of two witnesses.
