E. P. CONLIN FIRE HOSE DEVICE Filed Dec. 28, 1925 m m m m Patented Nov. 9, '1 926.
EDWARD P. OONLIIN, or G, onro.
I FIRE-HOSE DEVICE.
Application fl-led December.'28, 1925. Serial No. 77,973.
This invention relates to a fire hose. Theprincipal object of ,this invention is to provide a fire hose nozzle equipped with a water-driven wheel, which in turn actuates a plurality of lifting propellers, and a. single propeller for the purpose of tending to force the fire nozzle in a horizontal direction.
A'still further object is to provide eiiicient means for utilizing the power derived from the stream of water passing through a hose nozzle.
In the fighting of fires, modern water departments and fire fighting devices have means of producing a terrific pressure on the water forced through the hose and n0Z- zle. When it is desired to carry thewater nozzle upwardly along the outer wall of a building, this pressure of water may be utilized by being harnessed so as to energize lifting propellers, and a propeller positioned so as to force the nozzle in the same direction the water takes in leaving the nozzle.
\Vhile the invention has for its principal -this device may be used in many other ways,
f where it is desired to carry a water hose to a higher elevation.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, can be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention. e
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device.
Figure 2 isa sectional view, taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on line to a shaft 7, to which is secured. a worm gear 8, functioning with a worm wheel 9. This worm wheel 9 being secured to a shaft. 10. This shaft 10 is supported by boxing's 11, supported by means of arms 12, which in turn are supported by the nozzle 1, and a rear extension arm 13.
In operating the device, the water is turned into the ordinary hose 1, which causes the water wheel 6 to revolve in a clock-wise direction, causing theshaft 7 to rotate, thereby actuating the worm gear 8 to function with the worm wheel 9, thereby causing the shaft 10 to rotate. The rear end 14 -of the shaft 10 is provided with a gear wheel 15, which in turn functions with a gear wheel 16, secured .to a shaft 17. Upon this shaft 17, there. is positioned a propeller 18. It will also be seen, that there is positioned upon the shaft 10, worm wheels 19, these worm wheels 19 being positioned at an equal distance from each side of the worm wheel 9, which is positioned directly above the water wheel 6. It will be seen by referring to Fig. 2, that the worm wheel 19 functions with a worm gear 20, secured to a lower end of a shaft 21, which is attached to a lifting blade 22. It will be seen by referring to Fig. 1, that the lifting blades 22 are both mounted alike, and energized by means of the shaft 10. It will also be seen that I have provided web strengthening members 23 for the purpose of making the device more rigid.
At points 24 and 25, I have provided openings in the web members 23 for the purpose of securing guiding and assisting lines to be used ingoverning the position and direction of the nozzle end 26.
that I claim is y In a device of the class described. a hose nozzle, downwardly extending intake end,
means for securing a. hose to said end, a
