WENDIVIILL- SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.300,818, dated June 24, 1884-.

' Application filed July 1883. (No model.)

.windmill constructed and arranged to operate as hereinafterset forth, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of ourimproved windmill with a portion of the top broken away, and Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the same.

The sameletters refer to corresponding parts in the two figures of the drawings.

Referring to the drawings, A designates the frame of a windmill, upon which rests the stem B of the windmill turn-table O, which carries the operating mechanism of the mill.

D designates the spider of the wind-wheel transmitting motion to the shaft E, which has on its inner end a bevel-gear wheel, F, meshing with a similar wheel, G, on the upper end of shaft H. The latter can be hollow or solid, and has on its lower end a pulley, h, by means of which motion can be imparted to any mech anism which it is desired to operate through the revolution of the said shaft. The lower end of shaft H works in a bearing, 9, attached to an adjustable cross-bar, I, said crossbarbeing made adjustable in any suitable manner for instance, by means of a cord, to, and pulley b-so that the shaft II can be raised or lowered and the wheel G thrown in or out of gear.

J J designate stationary rods extending up from the turn-table G, and provided with bracerods K K, connecting the upper ends of rods J with an extended arm of the turn-table, thereby holding the stationary rods from being strained by the operation of the windmill.

L designates a cross head or bar sliding loosely at each end on the rods J J, and connecting with bevel-gear wheel F by means of a pitman, M, and suitable crank-pins. To the cross-head are attached rods N N, which extend downward, and are connected at their lower ends by a cross-bar, a, said cross-bar a being swiveled to a similar crossbar, 0. To the latter bar, 0, are attached rods PP, which also extenddownward, and are connected at their lower ends by a cross-bar, p, the latter being provided with a downward extension, Q, to which the pump-pole Sis attached. As shown,

the cross-bars a and O are coupled together,

on the stationary rods J. The reciprocating movement of the cross-head imparts a similar movement to the rods N N, attached thereto, said rods N transmitting the motion to the rods P P through the connection between said rods N and 1?. From the rods P the motion is transmitted to the pump-pole S, thereby imparting the desired reciprocating movement to thep'ump. It will be seen that the pumping is performed outside of the shaft H, so that it will not interfere with the revolution of said shaft. By this means the pump can be operated through the reciprocating movement of the cross-head L, while the shaft H is also revolved and may transmit motion to any suitable mechanism by connecting said mechanism with the pulley 71'.

As herein stated, the shaft H can be raised or lowered, and the wheel G'thrown in or out of gear, and in that case only the pumping motion can be performed.

The construction above described provides for a mill which can be conveniently used for pumping and for driving machinery, or which can be used for either alone, as may be desired. I

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is'

1. In a windmill, the combination, with the wheel-shaft E and gear F and the turn-table on which said parts are supported, of stationary rods erected on said turn-table, a crosshead sliding loosely at each end on said rods and connecting with the gear F, and rods N, carried by the cross-head and attached at their lower ends to rods P, which connect with the pump-pole S, substantially as set forth.

2. In a windmill, the combination, with the wheel-shaft E, gear F, and the turn-table 011 which said parts are supported, of stationary rods J, extending up from the turn-table, and provided with brace-rods K, a cross-head, L, sliding loosely on the rods J, and connecting with the gearF by means of apitman, M, rods N, carried by the cross-head and connected at their lower ends by crossbar n, and a cross-bar, 0, attached to the bar n, and provided with rods 1, the latter being suitably connected to the pump-pole S, as set forth.

3. In a windmill, the combination, with the wheel-shaft E, gear F, turn-table O, shaft H, and gear-wheel G, of stationary rods J, extending up from the pivot and provided with brace-rods K, a eross'head, L, sliding loosely on the rods J, and connecting with the gear F by means of a pitman, M, rods N, carried by the cross-head and connected at their lower ends by a crossbar, a, and a cross-bar, O, attached to the bar n, and provided with rods P, the latter connected at their lower ends by a crossbar-,1), provided with a downward extension, to which the pump-pole is attached,

the pumping mechanism operating outside of 25 the shaft I-I, whereby said shaft can be used to transmit power to other mechanism, as herein set forth.

4. In a windmill, the combination, with the wheel-shaft E, gear F, and the turn-table on 0 which said parts are supported, stationary rods J, erected on said pivot, a cross-head working on said rods and connecting with the gear F, a shaft, H, working in its lower end in an adjustable cross-bani, and carrying a 5 gear-wheel, G, meshing with the wheel F, and devices for connecting the cross-head with the pump-pole S, for the purpose set forth.
