WINDMILL.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 272,064, datedFebruary 1.3, 1883,
Application filed April 25, 1881. N0 model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, AUGUSTUS O. KOONTZ,
Bend, in the county of StrJoseph, State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Windmills, of which thefollowing is a specification.
My invention relates to that class of windmills in which the sails of the wheel are rigidly fastened to the rims or hoops of the same by being placed in slotscut in said rims for that purpose.
The object of myimprovements are, first, to combine with a pit-man or connecting-rod a reciprocating head inside the tubular vertical axis for the purpose of transmitting the power of the wind-wheel; second, toprovide metal fasteningsor clips for the purpose of holding the sails of .the wheel firmly and at a proper angle to the rims of the same.
In order to aid others skilled in the art to which my invention belongs to make and use the same, I will describe its construction and operations with referenceto the several drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a side view, showing the frame and rudder with weighted lever. Fig; 2 is a top planview, showing the position of parts a vertical sectional view of the tubular axis, showing the construction of the reciprocating mechanism. Fig.4 is a section showing the manner of attaching the sails to the rim of the wheel.
In the drawings, Fig. 3, M is the reciprocating head, having a longitudinal recess or slot in one side for the purpose of admitting the passage of a chain or cord through the pipe J, with which to operate the vane when desired. This head is also provided with a recess at rims or hoops.
duced by the crank when rotating. The pipe J serves as a guide to the head, causing its motion to be vertical.
Gis the shaft of the wind-wheel, to which is.
secured the crank-disk K, which, when rotated, produces the reciprocating motion of the head M through the pitman L.
0 0, Fig'. 4, are clips made from Wire or strips of metal, embracing the sails and holding them firmly in position by means of staples driven over the ends of the clips into the At the under side of the rails the strips of metal are bent to a right angle, or nearly so, to the face ot'the sails, terminating with a curve which contacts with the opposite end of the adjoining clip. By this arrangement both clips may be fastened to the rim by one staple. .Theportion of the clip bent to an angle to the sail 'forms a brace, which holds the sail rigidly at the desired angle to the plane of the wheel. These clips may be made in a continuous form, any number being made in one piece of wire or strip of metal, and secured to the rim of the wheel without detaching them from each other; but I prefer to make them separate. B shows another form adapted to the smaller end of the sails, and is preferably made in this form, as it facili tates the attachment at the inner end of sails on account of the small space between the sails at the attaching-point. A hole is made in the rim, which receives one end of having the other end secured by a staple.
Having described my invention as full as 1 can, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In a windmill, the combination of the recipro'cating, head M, pipe J, and pitman L, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
2. The metal fastenings or clips for securing the sails to the rim of a wind-wheel, as and for the purposes specified.
