UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
HOMER J. MOORE, OF NEWELL, IOYVA.
WlND-WHEEL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 241,233, dated May 10, 1881.
Application filed October .10, 1880. (N0 model.)
To all whom 2t may concern:
Be it known that I, HOMER. J. MOO E, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newell, in the county ofBuena Vista and State of Iowa, have invented certain newand useful ImprovementsinWind-Wheels; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, referencebeinghad to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification, and in which Figure 1 is aperspective view of my improved windmill. Fig. 2 is a side elevation. Fig. 3 is a similar view, with the sections of the wheel in a folded position; and Figs. 4, 5, and 6 are detail views thereof.
This invention relates to improvements in windmills, having for its object to dispense with a vane and to expedite the controlling of the speed of the wheel; and the nature of my invention consists, primarily, of a bisected wheel adapted to be folded and unfolded to take it out of and to put it in the wind, and of mechanism for effecting these ends, substantially as hereinafter more fully set forth.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, A indicates the pedestal, upon which the wheel, with its mech anism,is supported in an elevated position. This pedestal incloses a tube or cylinder, a, as is usual, which turns therein, and upon which is secured, to revolve with it, the casting B, having an arm or bracket, 1).
O is the wheel, which is bisected or divided into halves, which are hung or pivoted at their inner portions, as shown in Fig. 3, or in any other suitable manner, to a head-plate, 0, attached or secured upon the outer end of a shaft, D. The shaft D is supported in bearings,which may consist of an inverted staple-shaped casting, E, with its horizontal portion fastened to the casting B. Upon the shaft D is located a disk or block, d, with a shouldered neck, (1', which is adapted to slide upon said shaft. The halves or sections of the wheel 0 are connected by jointed curved arms e to the disk or block (I, to permit of the folding or unfolding of said sections as the disk is slid back and forth upon the shaft D to put it into or take it out of the wind, as occasion may require.
To operate the sliding disk to effect the folding and unfolding of the wheel, a weighted lever, F, is pivoted to the arm I) of the casting B and connected to a rod, f, passing through an eye, f, of the casting E, and looped or hooked around or upon the shouldered sleeve of the disk. The lever F is adapted to be conveniently operated by the attendant standing on the ground by means of the rod, rope, or chain g, attached thereto and extending down through the cylinder or tube a, within convenient reach of him.
Gris an indented plate, preferably of the shape shown in Fig. 5, and having indentations h,'one on each side. This plate is fixed to the block or disk at, and is adapted to permit of the engagement therewith of one end of a weighted lever, H, to enable the holding of the block from revolving, and the sections of the wheel folded up in a vertical position, so as to prevent its bein g opened to the action of the wind when such is not desired.
, By the lever F the sections of the wheel can be opened at different angles, to present a greater or less amount of its surface to the action of the wind, and thus control its speed.
To the wheel-shaft is attached, in the usual way, the usual piston-rod or pitman, to transmit and utilize the action of the wheel.
Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. In a windmill, the combination, with the bisected wheel with its sections hung upon the shaft, of the sliding sleeved block connected to the wheel-sections by jointed arms, and the weighted lever connected to the sliding sleeved block, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. In a windmill, the sliding block connected to the sections of the bisected wheel and having the indented plate, in combination with the weighted lever, adapted to engage therewith as described, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
3. In a windmill, the bisected wheel, adapted to be folded and unfolded to put it into and to take it out of the wind, substantially as set forth.
4. In a windmill, the bisected or folding and unfolding wheel, in combination with mechanism adapted to permit it to be conveniently operated by the attendant, substantially as and and a rod, chain, or rope, adapted for joint operation as set forth. I
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
