UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOHN H. STAPLES, 0F WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS.
TURBINE WATER-WHEEL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 231,458, dated August 24, 1880.
Application filed May 27, 1880.
To all whom @t may concern Be it known that I, JOHN H. STAPLES, of the city and county of Worcester, and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Turbines; and I do hereby declare the same to be describedin the following specification, and represented in the accompanying drawings, of which- Figure l is a front elevation, Fig. 2 a vertical and transverse section, and Fig. 3 a horizontal section, of a turbine containing my invention, the nature of which is duly set forth in the claim or claims hereinafter presented. Fig. t is a side View of the turbine as it appears when detached from its chute.
In the said drawings, the turbine or wheel proper is shown at A as iiXed concentrically upon an upright shaft, B, which at its lower end is stepped upon a pivot, a. The said pivot is sustained by a spider, C, indirectly supported by the annular chute-sustaining ring D. The said annular chute E encompasses the wheel and conveys and directs the water to its buckets b.
The chute is provided with a dome, F, having at its crown a stuffing-box, G, for Athe shaft to revolve in. The cap c ot' the stuffingbox has a tubular extension, H, which projects up from it to an altitude above the water in the fiume, and opens at its lower end into the Astuflingbox. The object of this eXtension H is to protect the bearing-surfaces of the shaft and box from water and enable the box to be oiled through the extension.
The wheel A is composed of a shaft-supporting head, c, a cyliudro-conical bucket-supporter, d, and a series of buckets, b, formed and arranged as represented.
The outer surface of the cylindro-conical supporter d, on which the buckets are arranged, serves as a deflector of the water down upon the buckets on it eseapingfrom the chute.
Between the chute and the wheel, and concentric With them, is the annular gate I, formed as shown, and supported by a series of rods, g, each of such rods passing up through the ring D, and one of a series of tubes, K, extending up from such ring to an altitude (No model.)
above the surface of the water in the ume. The ring D is to rest on the licor of such iiume.
The hollow standards or tubes K answer as protections to the rods g, each of which at its upper part is furnished with a long screw, h, upon which two nuts, ik, are screwed. The lower of the said nuts rests on the top ot the tube, one nut serving as a check-nut to the other. By means of these screws and nuts the height of the gate is determined from time to time relatively to the chute and buckets of the Wheel.
The ring D and the chute E have annular grooves formed in them, such grooves being shown in section at m m. in Fig. 2. They are to receive an annular packing, u, which, when the screws p, connecting the ring D and the chute E, are screwed up, becomes compressed and forced against the outer periphery ot' the gate, and serves to make a water-tight joint about the same.
What Iclaim as my invention is as follows, viz:
l. The turbine A, composed of the shaftsustaining head, the cylindro-conical bucketsupporter, and the series of buckets, arranged as set forth.
2. The chute E and annulus D, grooved, as described, and provided with the annular packing n, in combination with the gate and the wheel, arranged as set forth.
3. The combination ofthe tubular standards K with the chute-support ring D, and the annular gate and its sustaining-screw rods and nuts, all being arranged substantially as set forth, and such gate being disposed with respect to the turbine and its chute in manner as represented.
4. The combination of the tubular guard H, applied to the stutfngbox cap, as set forth, with the said stuffing-box and the wheel and its shaft and the chute and its dome, such wheel and chute having an annular gate, and all being substantially as specified and represented.
JOHN H. STAPLES.
