UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOSIAH HAYDEN, OF COLUMBUS, OHIO.
IMPROVEMENT IN WATER-ELEVATORS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 34,145, dated January 14, 1862.
To all whom t may concern.-
Be it known that I, JosIAH HAYDEN, of Columbus, in the county of Franklin and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Water-Drawers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and complete description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a perspective view.' Fig. 2 is a side elevation with part of the case removed to show the interior. Fig. 3 is a sectional view. Fig. 4 is a top view. Fig. 5 is a vertical section looking toward the front, and Fig. 6 is a section of the chain.
Like letters refer to like parts in the several views.
The nature of my invention relates to the construction of the bucket, the mode of tipping, the construction of the chain and windlass-wheel, and the devices for changing the direction of the windlass-wheel without reversing the direction of the crank.
A is the curb. This is made of boards in the usual manner.
At B, Figs. l, 2, and 4, a stationary spout or spouts project through the front side of the curb. On the inner side of the curb at B the spout widens out in order to give abundant room for the discharge of the Water from the buckets.
C in Figs. 2, 4, and 5 shows an iron bail hinged to the curb at O C. This bail is held in a horizontal position, as seen in Fig. 4, by a stop D, for the pu rpose hereinafter described.
The buckets E (one or two may be used) are made with heavy metallic bottoms with a valve opening upward, as seen at F, Fig. 5, so that when the bucket descends into the water it will fill through the valve. The bail I-I of the bucket is hinged to the sides of the bucket about one-third of the distance from the top to the bottom, so that it may be easily tipped. Upon that side of the bucket that swings toward the spout B rises a pin G, which when the bucket ascends passes inside of the bail C, which is held horizontally, as before stated, and which rises with the bucket to the position seen at C G, Fig. 2, and by this means the bucket is discharged into the spout B.
I is the windlass-shaft, which is secured to the top of the curb by means of boxes, and K is the windlass-wheel, which is placed upon the shaft I near the middle. The circumference of this wheel is provided with pointed teeth O at uniform distances from each other, as seen in Fig. 5, for purposes hereinafter stated.
L is a flat chain made from links of wire. In Fig. 6 this chain is represented in an enlarged view. Each link is composed of one piece bent downward at a and outward at e, Fig. 6, and curving again inward, forming a kind of loop, into which the free ends of another link are hooked, as at t', Fig. 6. Thelinks are of uniform length and one of the teeth O, Fig. 5, enters the open space in the link and prevents the slipping of the chain on the Wheel K. By means of the curve a the free ends of the links are prevented from approaching each other when the chain is supporting a weight, and the outward curve e brings the straight part of the separate links upon a line with each other. A chain thus constructed is flexible in one direction, while it is unyielding in the other, and by this vmeans the bucket is caused to present one side constantly to the spout B', and this brings the pin G upon the edge of the bucket between the bail C and spout B', thus insuring the tipping of the bucket for the discharge of the water, as before stated.
M is a cog-wheel placed upon the shaft I, by means of which, in conjunction with two other wheels N P, the shaft is rotated. These two Wheels constitute a shifting-gear, which is operated by theleverR,andwhen the lever is set at R, Fig. 3, the wheel Ngears into the wheel M, and when the lever R is set at R the Wheel P gears into the Wheel M. Consequently the crank Q, being upon the wheel P, may be turned constantlyin one direction, and the rotation of the shaft I reversed simply by shifting thelever from R to R', and vice versa. Thus one or two buckets can be used and either'one caused to ascend or descend Without reversing the motion of the crank.
Vhat I claim as my improvement, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The special arrangement of the shiftinggears N P, in combination with the windlass- Wheel K, flat chain L, bucket E, pin G, and bail O when these parts are arranged and operated in the manner and for the purpose herein set forth.
JOSIAH HA YDEN.
