Description

JOHN DUTTON, JR., OF AsToN, PENNSYLVANIA.
CONSTRUCTION 0F THE BUCKE-TS- IN CHAIN-BUCKET WHEELS.
Speccation of Letters Patent No. 1,499, dated February 26, 1840.
To all whom t may concern Be it known that l, JOHN DUTTON, Jr., of Aston township, Delaware county, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and use- Y ful Improvement in the Endless Chain of Water-Buckets for Propelling Machinery by the Gravity of l/Vater, which is described as follows, reference being had to the `annexed drawings of the same, making part of this specification.
Figure l is a perspective view of the Inachine. Fig. 2 is a section of one of the buckets.
This machine consists of an endless chain A of buckets B passing over a cylindrical drum D turning on gudgeon at the top of a vertical rame F and under a similar drum D revolving near the bottom of said frame, each of said drums being channeled around its circumferencev in an endless channel and again in parallel grooves at right angles to the endless channel and parallel with the aXis of the drum to receive th-e connecting or joint bolts of the chain in said parallel channels to prevent the chain from slipping. The chain is made ofjat pieces of iron with bolts passing through their ends where they unite, there being a flat bar to which the bucket is riveted placed with its ends be-V tw-een two pair of narrow bars. The connecting bolts enter the depression on thesurface o the drums and thus the chain is prevented from slipping. f
The buckets B are made each with live sides narrow at the bot-tom and wide at the top and secured to the links of the chain by of each bucket does not extend .as high as the sides and'back for the purpose of allowing the water to spill over the top edge of the front and be caught by an outside spout S which conducts the water to the bucket be- Y low. This spout consists of a rectangular pi-ece S as wide as the bucket, but not asdeep, extending from the top of the sides to near the bottom placed a few inches Outfrom the front of the bucketY `and Vhaving narrow sides to prevent the escape of water lso that when a lbucketis filled as high as it is intended that it should be filled the water Y which runs over is caught by said spout and conducted to the next bucket below. y
In propelling machinery with this Inachine the water to be used for that purpose is conducted by a` spout or trunk into the buckets near the top of the machine which water by its gravity in descending causes the chain to move the drums around, and from these, or their axles, the power to be conveyed for propelling machinery is ob-V tained. Vhen the buckets reach t-he under side of th-e lower' drum they discharge their contents of water and ascend on the opposite side empty.
The invention claimed and desired to be secured by Lett-ers Patent consistsin the construction of the spout on the outside of each bucket for preventing a waste of the water b-y conducting that which runs over the edge of the bucket after it is filled to the bucket below.
