POWER-TRANSMITTER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 302,076, dated'July 15,y 1884.

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, HERBERT S. WILSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kalamazoo,county of Kalamazoo, 'State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Power- Transmitter, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists of a certain construction and combination of parts,substantially as hereinafter described andY` claimed, whereby economy and simplicity are secured and utility greatly increased.

In the drawings forming a part of this specication, Figures 1 and 2 are plan elevations illustrating the construction and operation; Fig. 3, across-section of Fig. 2 on a line with casting i, and Fig. 4 is a view looking against the side of the lower portion of Fig. 2 from' the left hand of saidgure.

The device is connected to a suitable supporting-frame, either in ahorizontal, vertical, or other position. Thedrawings illustrate it in a vertical position. The lower part of the frame B B,which supports the device, is here shown broken away; otherwise it would connect with the end D D; or said parts B B and DD may have separate'supports. This is not an important feature of the invention. With the end B is connected in a swiveled manner a bearing-support, l?, in which support is revolubly located an axle or shaft provided with cranks S S. These cranks are located atV right angles to each other, radiating from their aXisor crank-shaft, Fig. 2. In lieu of the.A

cranks shown in this construction, other devicesequivalent to them may be employed,

among which may be named gear-cranks,

crank-wheels connected by gear, Src.v (Notl here shown.)

ferentioeannes to Samnaun-axle, theiatter being adapted to shift from one position to anf other to correspond to said different localities by turning its bearing-support P inits swiveled -connections at R, and to transmit said Vmotion by 'reciprocating rods .to the-lower or other crankaXle. This has previously been effected by connecting the crank-shafts and swiveled reciprocating rods Iby cumbersome and expensive connecting means. In my construction the device is greatly simplied and cheapened andthe operation facilitated.

the half-round swiveled parts af c and the connected rods cV ofand yb b. The portions below fi t may be flattened and play through loops secured to the beams D D. The rods c c are .endof portion a in a swiveled manner. The

portion c is swiveled in the casting o, and also adapted to play through it. A connecting` casting,r, is securedto the end of rod c. Said casting is connected in a swiveled manner with the end of portion a of the other reciprocating rod. The rod c plays through the lug tof the casting r.

More than two cranks may he employed on each crank-shaft, and a corresponding increase of swiveled reciprocating rods, if desired. It will appear obvious that three may be used, or anymultiple of three, or any multiple of two.

The cranks s -s and n n are connected withthe reciprocating rods a c and a c by means of the connecting-rods u and f. ,These rods are pivotally connected at both ends with said cranks and reciprocating rods. Theconnectwith the connecting-rods u-that is,the plane is vertical, as herein illustrated.

The device might be located in a horizontal plane, when. the connecting-rods would be on like horizontal planes. Said rods extend in 6o The reciprocating rods a c and a c consist of l 'inglrods ff are located ona like vertical plane the same direction from their axis or crankl reciprocating rods, the combination, with reshafts-that is, the rods u extend below their crank-shaft, as do the rods f below their crankshaft.

In Fig. 4 the rod e b is bent to avoid conlieting with the lower crankshaft.

The operation is clearly illustrated in Figs. l and 2, both as regards the vertical play of the reciprocating rods and their movements in their swiveled bearings. The upper crankshaft in Fig. 2 is shown turned a quarter round in its swiveled bearings R. The eonnecting-rods u and f are still in like vertical planes with each other in this ligure, but not on the same plane as before indicated.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is- 1. In a device for transmitting rotary motion from a crank-shaft having a swiveled bearingsupport to a crank-shaft having a stationary bearing-support by means of swiveled ciproeating rods, of the connecting-rods, each set thereof extending back in a like direction to their crank-connections,substantially as set forth.

2. In adevicc for transmitting motion from one crank-shaft to another by means of swivelcd reciprocating rods, the combinatiomwith the crank-shafts, of the rods having the halfround portions, the pivoted rods extending in a like direction from their lpoint of pivoting l
