. Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. l 84,805. dated November 28, 1876; application tiled September '22, 1876.
It will be seen that Water entering the casing through the inlet will exert a pressure on the curved buckets and force them from the abutment. As the buckets strike the inclined side of the abutment they are foldeddown to the hub, and after passing the abutment they are unfolded by the action ot' the Water. The Water, after carrying the buckets, escapes. v
rlhis invention is simple and inexpensive in its construction, effective in its operation, and
To all ywhom it may concern Be it known that I, LEWIS A. STRUBLE, of Salt River, in the county of Isabella and State of Michigan, have invented a .new and Iniproved Water-Wheel, of which the following is a specification:
Figure 1 is a horizontal section on line w w in Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a transverse section on line y yin Fig. 1.
Similar letters ot' reference indicate corresponding parts.
The invention will first be described in connection with the drawing, and then pointed out in the claim.
In the drawing, A is the external cylindrical vcasing of the wheel, having the tangential in# let a. and the outlet b 'for Water, and provided with an abutment, B, having a straight side, c, Which is nearly in line With the direction of the inlet-pipe, and also the curved or inclined side d. C is a hub, provided with anges c e, and secured to thegvertical shaft I). E E, Ste., are curved buckets, pivoted to the {ianges c c, so as to present their concave faces to the in;
rthe Water.
By a slight modiication in the construction of the wheel it may be used as a rotary steamengine.
I am aware that it is not new to use (in a water-wheel) hinged buckets that are supported at an acute angle against the Wheel-case 5 but by supporting my buckets Without friction against the rigid case upon the rotary hub, I readily get them to Work always in a position radial to the hub, and thus Asecure the greatest effect from the Water, as Well as the least friction.
Hence, what I claim is- A water-Wheel provided with hingedbuck ets supported radially to the axis of the hui by pgojectjons that extend beyond their piv ots and resI.' on the revolving hub, for thi purpose specified. t
with the anges or lugsj, which are formed on the buckets, and are arranged at right anglesffwith aline drawn across the face of the buckets, and are capable of sustaining the bucketsiu a radial line drawn from the cen ter ofthe shaft D by resting against the hub C. The abutment B projects toward the cen- LEWIS A. STRUBLE.
