IMPROVEMENT IN WIND-WHEELS.
Specification-forming part of Letters Patent No. 180,679, dated August 1, 1876; application filed June 12, 1876.
a; av, Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a top View ot' the same.
Fig. 3 is av detail cross section ot' one ot' the fans.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
The object ot' this invention is to improvel the construction ot` wind-wheels to enable them to be adjusted, to cause them to work with more or less power, as may be desired.
The invention consists in the combination of the suspended weights, the adjustable. bars,
and the curved screw-rods, and their nuts, with the radial arms and the fans of a windwheel, as hereinafter fully described.
A is the shaft of the wind-wheel, the ends ot' which, orjonrnalsformed upon or attached to said ends, revolve in bearings in a framework, B. To the upper part ot' the shaft A are attached radial arms G, to the outeil parts ot' which the fans D are pivoted, andthe outer ends of which are connected by bracerods c. To the arms C, above the centers of the fans D, are pivoted the suspended weights E, which hang behind the fans D to hold them against the wind. With the upper ends of the suspended weights E are connected the upper ends of the bars F, which hang in front ot' the fans D, and are at an angle ot' forty-ti ve degrees, (450,) more or less, with the weights E, as may be desired. To the weights E are attached the ends ot the curved rods G,which pass through the fans D, through the lower ends of the bars F, and have screw-threads cut upon their projecting ends to receive the nuts g', so that, by adjusting the said nuts g, the power of the wheel may be regulated, as
required. Rubber blocks H are attached to the forward sides of the Weights E for the fans D to strike against, to prevent noise.
With this construction, as the wind blows against the forward sides of the fans D, it presses them against the weights Fagand the weights support them against the wind, unless it be strong enough to raise the said weights, and thus take the fans out of the Wind. Upon the other side of the wheel, where the wind blows against the back ofthe fans, the fans swing up against the arms F before the weights E can oii'er any resistance, and it" the bars F were at right angles with the weights E the fans would rise into a horizontal position without encountering -any resistance from the weights. It' the bars F were down close t0 the forward side of the fans, the weights E would oft'er the same resistance to the wind, whether'it blew against the forward or rear sides ot' the fans, and the wheel would stand still, so that, by adjusting the `position ot' the` bars F with the nuts g', the
wheel may be adjusted to work with any de` sired power. f
To the shaft A is attached a wheel, I, atan angle with the said shaft. the rim of' which enters a slot in the end ot' the pivoted lever J, and vibrates the said lever to give motion `t o the machine-to be driven; or power may be taken from the shaft A by gearing, if desired.
Having thus described my invention, I claim asnew and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination ot' the suspended Weights E, the adjustable bars F, and the curved screw-rods Gr, and their nuts g', with the radial arms C and the fans D of a wind-Wheel, substantially as herein shown and described.
