UNITED STATES PATENT. Drrrcn WILLIAM G. GROVES, OF LIBERTY, WISCONSIN.'
IMPROVEMENT lN WATER-WHEELS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 1 69,901, dated November 16, 1875; application filed September 15, 1875. 7
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, WILLIAM C. GROVES, of Liberty,in the county of Vernon, State of Wisconsin, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Water-Wheels, of which the following is adescription sufficiently full, clear,
. and exact to enable any person skilled in the alter science to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, reference heing had to the accompanying drawing forming a part ofthis specification, in which Figure 1 is a sectional isoinetrical perspective view, and Fig. 2 a plan showing the lower side of the wheel.
Like letters ofreferenceindicatecorresponding parts in the difi'erent figures of the draw- My invention relates to that class of waterwheels which are known as turbine wheels and consists in a novel construction and arof the cylinder J, havingaseries of inclined floats, I, arranged around its periphery, as This wheel is vertically by the links 2:.
In the use of my improved wheel, flumes are so arranged as to conduct the water into the four gateways simultaneously when the levers O are elevated by means of the cross-bar E, and the gates are opened. The water, being thus let in at the four corners of the pen-stock at the same time, will be directed by the chutes H onto the floats I, without producing the dead water com mon in wheels of this character, having but one gateway. The floats I, being below the bed L, are also less liable to obstruction than when otherwise arranged.
Having thus explained my invention, what I claim is The gates F, frame 13, levers O, and links 2, combined to operate substantially as set forth. WVILLIAM G. GROVES. LL. s.] Witnesses:
J. E. NEWELL, JOSHUA S. GROVES.
