ALONZO Gr. OARMAN, OF MARENGO, ILLINOIS.
WIND-WHEEL MACHINERY.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 259,289, dated June 13, 1882.
Application filed March 25, 1882. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALONZO G. CARMAN, of Maren go, in the county of McHenry and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machinery for Transmitting Motion from Wind-Wheels to Pump-Pistons; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
The object of my invention is to furnish a simple combination of mechanical devices that will transmit the motion of awind-wheel to the pump-piston with very little loss of power by friction. This I accomplish by means of the double crank on the wind-wheel shaft, which is journaled in suitable hearings on a revolving cap, said cranks operating by means of pitmen, two connecting-rods connected to said pitmen by ball-and-socket joints and operating one within the other on the same vertical line, and so arranged that the pitmen can oscillate or rotate around the same, according to the direction of the wind, without inconvenience to their action.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of my invention. Fig. 2 is a section of the same, taken on the line :0 w in Fig.1.
In the drawings, A represents a wind-wheel shaft, at one end of which is aflixed a windwheel, and which is journaled in the hearings to a, placed diametrically opposite each other on the circular-shaped revolving cap B. This cap revolves on the flanged head 0, forming the top of the tower-frame O, to which said cap is held and prevented from slipping off by the fingers I), attached transversely to the periphery of the same, and extending downward to and then inward under the circular flange of said head 0.
0n the shaft A, between the bearings a a, is a double crank, D, atright angles to each other, and operating the pitmen d and e, which extend down through the central openings in the cap and head to the connectingrods E ahdF, to which they are connected by ball-and-sooket joints d and e. In forming these joints the lower ends of the pitmen are enlarged so as to form a socket, into which the hall or head of the connecting-rods is placed.
It will be understood that in order to allow the swivel-cranks to oscillate or rotate horizontally the ball-and-socket joints connecting the lower ends of the pitmen must be on the perpendicular line intersecting the pivotal center of the horizontally-revolvin g cap, in bearin gs resting on which the shaft Ais journaled. This I accomplish by making the pitman d shorter than 0, having the ball-and-socket joint proportionally smaller, and having the rod E connected thereto pursue a straight and direct course to the lower pitman, G, and reciprocate within the tube forming the upper half of the connecting-rod F. The tubular upper portion of the rod F extends down to a point under the second cross-piece below, where, projecting laterally, it forms a knee, f, from which it extends downward and is pivoted to the lower pitman, H. The pitmen G and H are connected to and drive the double cranks I on the shaft K, which drives the pump-piston. Theseball-and-socket connections, moving as they do around the same vertical center, can oscillate with the cap according to the direction of the wind, and at the same time impart the reciprocal motion of the double crank to the rods E and F below without obstructing the free-and-easy motion of the same. The obvious advantage of this mode of transmitting the motion of the wind -wheel to the pump-piston is that it creates little or no fric= tion and transmits a more direct and powerful motion.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
' 1. The combination, with a swiveled crank having pitmen extending downward from the same, of the ball-and-socket joints operating on the same vertical center as said cranks, and pivoting said pitmen to the connecting-rods below, as hereinbefore fully described.
2. The combination of the two connecting rods, the one reciprocating within thetubular upper portion of the other, and so arranged In testimony that I claim the foregoing as as to be pivoted to and operate the lower pitmy own I hereby affix my signaturein presence men, which drive the transverse shaft, with of two witnesses.
