GRAVITY WATER oron.
'lliisinvention relates to a gravity water motor.
' The object of the invention is to provide a fwater motor having a wheel which is strong,
"may be removed and others substituted-with a minimum amount of labor.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a sidefelevation water wheel *used in a water motor; Fig-meals an end elevation of the same; Figure 3 is a cross sectional *view through the same on the line 3 3 "Figure'1; Figure 4 is a vertical sectional de tail through. a portion ofthe water wheel, takenon the line 4= l Fig-tee 2, and illustrati-ng'the' method -of attacl'n'nent ofjthe buckets V to, the supporting shaft and the supporting rods of the wheel; and Figure '5 a detail "view in side elevation one of the buckets er the wheel. V
The Water wheels 8 are mounted on "a shaft 9 which comprises a tubular portion 9, and, v The end portions ,9 have end portionsl)"; H I portions 10, which extend-outwardly from the tubular shaft 9?, and form axles of trun- "nions for the shaft; Formed integral with the portions 81 arc extensions 32 which 6K- .tend into-the tt'ibularshaft 9 at which end thereof, and around which the shaft 9 may' be shrunk. Mountedon the shaft Q 'are end plates 33. r l assing through the end plates 33 are rods 34, which are disposed in a circular manner adjacent the periphery of the plates. The extremities of these rods" are screw threaded, and are held in position by means of nuts 35. Surrounding the shaft is another I groupof rods 36, which are held in position by means of nuts 37, and which are arranged in a group concentric with the shaft and with.
the outer groupformed by the rods 34; v
' The wheel 8 comprises a plurality of bucket sections 38 extending longitudinally of the shaft; and each of such bucket sections comprising: a plurality of buckets 39.
Each bucket 39 is formed simply as a curved plate, and is shown as substantially semicircular in cross section. At one end thereof each bucket is provided with. a pair of hooks or tongues 40 which embrace one of the outer rods 34 of the wheel, and is secured thereto byineans of; a bolt 41. On its outer surface each of the buckets has a pair of lugs or ears 42, which receive one of the inner group of rods 36, and which 1s secured thereto by means of a bolt 48. At its inner extremity each of the buckets is deformed to Application filedOctobr at, 1924;
"simple, and'in which the buckets of the wheel Serial w s,
provide a hooked, which engages in a slot 45 in a tubular shaft '9; V I V that the-portions 32 of the solid-shaft 9 have therein annular grooves 46, to" permit the on- It will be noted (Ill trance of the tongues or hooks of the buckets 1 at'such points;
Vfith this wheel a damaged bucket may easily be removed and replaced with" a new one without replacing other buckets or-por- I tions of the shelhhnd without taking down the whe'elas a whole." lfsflinany {bucket sections" may be carried by av single shaft asinay be desirable --vvith consideration; of "the strength ofth'e shaft andthew ight of Waterwhich will actzupon the wheel- If desired, I
two or more wheels constructed in'this manner may obviously beahgned longitudinally,
' and provided withcommion terminal shafts or axles togive a water wheel of great length.
' It should be noted furtherthat'eachof the buckets 39 1s (JUIVQCllIlDTKlGItl-ltt it may le'celve a relatively "great weight of water,
and may retain this water as long as possible i during each revolution of the'wheel; and also in or'derv that the resistance offered-to the entry, of each bucket into the columnIof water may be n' inimize'd.
