WILLIAM W. GARLAND, OF HENDERSON STATION, TENNESSEE.

HORSE-POWER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 232,484, dated September 21, 1880.

Application led August14, 1880. (Model.)

To all whom 'it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM W. GARLAND, of Henderson Station, in the county of Madison and State of Tennessee, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Horse- Powers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, makinga part of this specification, and to the letters and gures of reference marked thereon.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of a `plan view of this invention. Fig. 2 is a central vertical section of the same. Figs. 3 and 4 are details. Y

This invention has relation to horse-powers 5 and it consists in the construction and novel arrangement ofthe large drivewheel above the horses, the diametrically-opposite rollers on which this wheel bears, having their journals in vertically-elongated bearings, the pulleyrollers under the bearing-rollers, andthe shaft parallel with the pulley-rollers and connected thereto by suitable helting, all as hereinafter shown and described.

In the accompanying drawings, the letter A designates the frame of the horse-power, having a transverse beam, B, above, which is provided at its middle portion with a bearing, a, of suitable metal for the upper end of the spindle O of the main wheel D to work against.

- This main wheel is made of large size, its rim portion b being plane on its under side, and resting on the bearing-rollers E, which are arranged diainetrically opposite to each other, as shown in the drawings. Each of these bearing-rollers is provided with a journal rod or shaft, c, which extends on each side into an elongated bearing-slot, d, arranged vertically in an abutment, F, of the fra-Ine. Below the bearing-roller is the pulley-roller G, which is provided at one end with a broad rollerbearing, e, upon which the bearing-roller E rests, and at the other end with a pulley-bearing, f, to receive the belt g, which extends to a pulley, h, on one end of the drive-shaft H.

The pulley-rollers G are journaled in the blocks or abutments F of the frame, below the slot-bearings d of thebearing-rollers, and the journ al-bearin gs are made very strong, because the weight of the wheel D and of the bearingrollers E is supported thereby.

K represents the hub or body portion of the main driving-wheel D, to the lower portion of 5 5 `turns them, they moving the pulley-rollers below.

The transverse beam B is formed with end tenons, m, which are seated in elongated mortses n in the framing-uprights N, and wedges w, or other keys, may be used to keep the central bearing, a, in contact with the upper end of the spindle of the main wheel, so as to permit'uneven motion.

Having described this invention, what l claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-

The horse-power having the over-beam B and its hearing a, the lower block, l, the slotbearings d'in abutments of the frame, the pulley-rollers G, journaled below, and the bearing-rollers E, journaled in said slot-hearings, and the main wheel D, resting by its opposite sides on said bearing-rollers, and having its upper spindle end in Contact with the bearing a and its lower spindle end in the block l, substantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM W. GARLAND.
