FRANKLIN D. JONES AND HAMILTON M. HART, OF BURLINGTON, KANSAS.

MECHANlCAL MOTOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 330,029, dated November 10, 1885.

Application filed August 6, 1885.

To all whom, t may concern:

Be it known that we, FRANKLIN D. JoNEs and HAMILTON M. HART, citizens of the United States, residing at Burlington, in the county of Coffey and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mechanical Motors; and we do 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, refer ence being had to the accompanying drawings, and to theletters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Our invention has for its object to provide an improved and simplified mechanical motor for operating pumps, grindstones, or other like purposes; and it consists, essentially, of a frame-work provided with a series of coggears which are driven by means of a weight, said cog-gears operating a novel mechanism for imparting motion to a'horizontal shaft, as will hereinafter be fully described, and designated in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a front elevation of our complete invention, and Fig. 2 a side view thereof'.

Similarletters of reference occurring on the several figures indicate like parts.

In carrying out our invention we provide a wooden or metallic frame, A, of suitable height and dimensions to contain the mechanism for imparting motion to the horizontal shaft B. Below the center of the frame A are journaled iive or more cog-gears, C, D, E, F, and G, which mesh with each other, as shown. The lower cog, D, meshes into a small cog or drum wheel, c, upon thehorizontal shaft B, which is journaled in the lower part of the frame A, and extends off to one side or rear of the said frame, and is provided with bevel gear-wheel b, which engages with a corresponding gear-wheel, c, arranged upon a verticallyjournaled shaft, as fully shown in Fig. 1. To the top of said shaft H is secured one end of a curved arm, I, the opposite end of which is slotted to receive the lower end of a pendulum, J, which is provided with a ball, K, above the surface of the said arm I, as shown. The upper end ofthe pendulum J is hooked to a rigid ring, d, attached to the under surface of the beam L in a true vertical line with the shaft H.

The pitman-wheel M, which imparts motion Serial No. 173,764.

(No model.)

to the pump or other kindred device, is attached to the rear end of the horizontal shaft B; or a cam-roller may be used, if desired, to obtain the same motion.

N is the crane which carries the weight O, that imparts motion t0 the machinery. The crane N has two braces, e e, which are journaled into the frame.

f is the -stay-rod, and is attached to the upright g of the cog-gear wheel G.

In large machines it is necessary to erect a derrick to raise the upright and crane to a proper height, as shown in the drawings; but in small machines this derrick can be dispensed with and a crank attached to one of 70,

the gear-wheels will answer.

We will now proceed to describe its operation: The crane N, with weight O attached, is raised by the derrick to the desired height, the stay-rod f being rigidly secured to the upright or arm g of the semicircular wheel G. The said upright, being bolted or forming part ofthe semicircular wheel, is thrown back as the weight rises, and causes the teeth or ratchet to mesh with the drums or gearing, as described, and with the gear-wheel on the horizontal shaft B, this giving the machine a reverse or backward motion. Then the pitman is attached to the pump or instrument to be operated on. The crane is allowed to have a downward movement by the weight suspended at its eXtreme end,which imparts mo tion to the machine.

What we claim as our invention,and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. The crane N, having braces c e, journalled in the frame A, and provided with a stay-rod, f, which is attached to the upright g of the semicircular wheel G, and carrying the weight O, for imparting motion, for the purpose herein described.

2. The frame A, provided with gearwheels C, D, E, F, and G, horizontal shaft B, gear-wheel a, bevel gear-wheels`b and c, pitman-wheel or cam-roller M, the vertical shaft H, arm I, pendulum J, ball K, crane N, and weight O, all constructed and arranged to operate as herein shown and described.

In testimony whereof we affix our si gnatures in presence of witnesses.

F. D. JONES.
