VHENRI LAIN, OF PARIS, FRANCE.
IMPROVEMENT IN ICE-LOCOMOTIVES.
I Specication forming part of Letters Fatent No. 205, l94, dated June 25, 1878; application filed June 5, 1878.
. To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRI LAINE, of Paris, in the Republic of France, have invented a new and useful Ice-Locomotive, of which the following is a specication:
In the accompanying drawing, Figure I represents a longitudinal side view of my improved ice-locomotive. Fig. II is a top view of the same.
A represents the main frame, to which a horizontal disk, B, is attached, capable of turning on the vertical axis C. y This `disk B is guided between suitable projecting flanges a b fast tothe frameA. If desirable,frictionroll ers may be attached to the frame A for further guidance of this disk. In this disk B a horizontal axis, D, is arranged, on which the driving-wheel E is rmly attached. On the vertical axis C a loose pulley, F, and bevel-wheel G are attached. This bevel-wheel G engages with a corresponding wheel, H, turning looselyT on a stud, J, upon which and connected to the wheel H a pulley, N, is placed. Upon the horizontal shaft D a pulley, M, is attached, connected by a belt or chain with the pulley N. K is the driving-shaft, running in suitable bearings in the frame A, and provided with a chain-wheel, L. This chain-wheel L is con nected, through a suitable endless chain, l?, with the pulley F. The chain P passes over suitable pulleys r r fast tothe shaft R, to guide and direct the motion of the chain from the driving-shaft K to the pulley F. By this arrangement any motion communicated to the driving-shaft K is communicated to the pulley F, and, through the gear-wheels G and H and pulley N, to the pulley M, fast on the horizontal shaft D, and through the same to the driving-wheel E.
The horizontal disk B, to which-the shaftD and consequently the driving-Wheel E are attached, and which is capable of turning on its vertical axis C, is provided on its circumference with teeth n, into which a pinion, fm, is made to work. This pinion mis fast to a shaft, S, having on its other end a suitable hand- Wheel, T, by which arrangement the diskB is capable of being turned around its axis C, and consequently the direction of the drivingwheel E is-chan ged and. regulated, as may be desired.
The drivin g-wheel E is provided with teeth W around its circumference, to insure a iirm hold in the snow or ice, and prevent the slipping of the same. Behind this driving-wheel E a wheel is arranged having four or more arms or teeth, V, working into the recesses between the teeth W on the driving-wheel, and so arranged that, While receiving its motion from said teeth W, the action of these teeth V will scrape any snow or ice oif the teeth W, and thus prevent the same from becoming clogged.
If desired a stream of steam may be conducted against the teeth W to dissolve the snow and ice adhering to the same, and facilitate the cleaning of the same by means of these teeth or projections V.
Behind the frame A a suitable carriage or sleigh, X, is arranged, attached to theshaft K, upon which the necessary machinery to communicate motion to the drivingshaft K may be arranged.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
. l. The horizontal disk B, supported and guided in the frame A and turning on its vertical axis G, in combination with the horizontal shaft D and drivin g-wheel E, provided with teeth W, and with the driving-gear, consisting of the pulleys M and N, geanwheels H and G, and pulleys F and L, arranged to operate substantially in the manner and for the purpose described.
2. In combination with a driving-wheel, E,
. provided with teeth W, the wheel provided with arms or teeth V, arranged to operate in the manner and for the Apurpose substantially as set forth and specified.
E. LAINE.
