Definitions
- All the parts of a locomotive engine and its tender are comprised or contained in one frame or body, which body is supported by eight or twelve wheels of equal size, all of which are drawing or driving wheels.
- eight wheels When eight wheels are used the description is as follows: Four wheels are placed under each end of the body or frame of the engine, their position and arrangement being somewhat similar to those of an ordinary eightwheel passenger or freight car for railroads.
- W, W, IV, lV, Figures l, 2 and 3 are the four wheels supporting one end of the en ⁇ gine (see the drawings annexed which coni stitute a part of this specification).
- each axle In the middle of each axle is a crank N, and near each end, inside of the wheels is a journal inclosed .or revolving in a box.
- Each box is embraced by a yoke or band Y, which is firmly bolted to the ends of two beams M, M, connecting the axles of the t-wopair of wheels. From these beams proceed two or more braces S, S, &c., which are bolted to and support the ring 1'.
- the weight of the body of the engine is sustained by the springs s, s, in such a manner as to allow to the two pair of wheels a movement backward or forward, around a vertical line passing through the center ot the stem T, which enables them to conform to the curvature of the rails.
- Each set or pair of conical trust-ums N, N are secured in their places by connecting their axesl with two bars a, a, Fig. 7.
- the bar I may have its center otmotion at z' stead of in this case the bar is inverted the end having the slit being upward. If but one frustum ⁇ of a cone is used, the end of its axis, works in the slit in the middle of the bar I instead of the pin Z.
- Motion is communicated to the wheels W, IW, as follows: A steam cylinder is placed at c, its axis is horizontal and on a level or nearly so with the axles of the wheels.
- Z is the piston rod, united by two branches fl CZ with the cross-head H.
- This cross-head moves in horizontal guides G, G, attached to the body B of the machine. From each end of this cross-head proceed connecting rods R, R, which are attached at the other end by a pin or socketjoint to the middle of the two crank bars Zi, 6 respectively, which bars are connected to the wheels IV, I/V, &c., by crank pins on the outside of each.
- the wheels lll, W, &c. are made to revolve in the same direction, through the intervention of the rods R, R, and bars I), b.
- the cross-head I-I has a vibratory movement, being connected with the piston by circular collars o c', and provided with ournals in the guides, so as to allow it to revolve or turn partially around within the collars.
- the center oi' motion being a line or axis passing longitudinally through it.
- the connecting rods R, R are united with the ends of the cross-head I-I ⁇ by a pin ⁇ or socket joint, the one above, and
- Fig. 6 By this means when one connecting redis thrown back by the curvature of the road acting upon the wheels, the other is thrown forward, and vice versa, a movement which gives to the cross-head its vibratory motion, but does not in teri'erewith the regular' workingl of the piston and cross-head.
- theV cross-head may be inclined as represented in Fig. 6.
- the other end of the bodyof the machine is supported upon four wheels like the end just described, which are propelled in the same manner, by a cylinder similarly situated, with a cross-head, connecting rods, &c., as already described and represented in the plan.
- the two sets are connected by a rod or bar D, Fig. 4, extending lengthwise under the body of the carriage, midway between the wheels.
- This rod or bar has a reciprocating motion, in the direction of its length, through guides z', z', &c., attached to the frame or body of the engine and passes by a cylindrical opening through the fire box of the boiler, or through the space formed by a division of the fire box into two parts or compartments as represented by w, Fig. 2. From near each end of this bar, two branches or arms 71 7i, Figs. 2, 4:
- the two bars n, n are connected by joints to the two branches, at one end, and at the other end more steadiness of motion to the two sets of drawing or driving wheels, they are held ⁇ or conlined in their position by means of .two rods m, m, represented by dotted lines by a pin or socket joint to the middle of the crank bar le, which connects the cranks formed on the middle of the axles of the two pair of wheels, and which has a motion similar to the crank bars b, Z9, on the outside.
- cranks which are in the middle of the axles of all the wheels have a common direction such as to bisect the angles formed by the outside cranks of the two sets of wheels, or those to which the moving power is applied.
- the branches 7L, L, o-f the bar D are separated far eno-ugh to allow of the necessary lateral movement of the ends of the bar 7c upon the curves of the road.
- the bar 7c may be bent o-r curved upward in the middle as represented in Figs. 4 and 5.
- the crank bars b, Zi on the outside may also be bent in a similar manner to make their centers conform to the position of the cross heads when the points of junction of the latter with the connecting rods are either above or below the level of the axles of the wheels. Friction wheels or rollers are placed in the guides or points o-f support of the rod or bar D to lessen the resistance to sliding from the friction.
- Each pair of reds may be operated separately, by endless screws as WV Fig. l, working in a rack Aformed in the lever V, or what is better, 'the two pair of rods may be connected so as to be operated both of them, by the saine ymovement or a single screw or lever, which,
- the space at the other end is occupied by the The fuel and tanks for containing water.
- the center of motion, or of vibration of each set of four wheels is below the level of the axles, namely at the level of the ring r, and does not therefore coincide with the centers of motion, of the ends of the connecting rods, or of the middle points of the bars Z9, Z).
- the two centers of motion may be made to coincide by an arrangement as follows:
- the braces s, s, &c., Figs. 11, and 13, which support the ring fr', instead of being connected with the beams or bars M, M, are to constitute the lower side of a strong rectangular frame, the two vertical sides of which are a', a.
- the upper side is provided with a ring r inclosing a stem, which stem is connected like the stem T with the main frame or body of the machine, the centers of the two rings or stems being in the same vertical line around which the lower or truck frame revolves.
- a vertical slit or opening In each of the vertical sides a, a', of this frame, is a vertical slit or opening, extending a little above and below the level of the axles of the wheels.
- This slit. or opening receives a tenon o r pin p Fig. l4, ⁇ which is lirmly oonnected at one end with the beams or bars M, M, so as to bring its center in the same plane with the axles of the drawing wheels.
- the pin is inclosed by a box shown in Fig. 14, the latter having a vertical movement in the slit, the two sides of which serve as guides to confine and give it a proper direction.
- the two pairs of wheels, together with the frame have a horizontal movement around the vertical line passing through the centers of the two rings r, r', and a vertical movement about a line intersecting the latter and passing through the tenons or pins p which are situated as above described on a. level with or in the same plane with the axles of the drawing wheels.
- the rods m, m, Fig. l the rods m, m, Fig. l,
- the upper side of the frame s', s may be dispensed with, and the vertical sides a a extended upward, connecting with the body of the machine by a pin or socket joint.
- This extension upward is represented by dotted lines in Figs. 11 and 12
- the side pieces a, a are connected with the i lower side s, s, by joints such as to permit of a forward or back movement of the sides a a about the centers Q, g, sufficient to allow the wheels to conform to the curvature of the road.
- the slide rod D and crank bars K, K are dispensed with, the arrangement just described becomes unnecessary, so also in respect to the. rectangular frame s a', 's 0;.
- the ring r in this case is placed on a level, or in the same plane with the axles of the drawing wheels.
- Vhen six drawing wheels are used in one set, or embraced in one frame, instead of four, as above described, they may be arranged as represented in Fig. 9.
- the co necting rods-R, R are attached to the crahk pins of the middle pair of wheels VV; and from these crank pins crank bars b, b, extend to crank pins, similarly inserted in the other pair of wheels composing the set.
- the mode of connecting in one frame the three pair of wheels is similar to that described above for two pair, that is, journals are formed on the axles near the wheels on the inside. These are inclosed by boxes which are confined by yokes y, y, y, Fig.
- the vibratory cross head as represented Cnl in Figs. 2, 3 and 6, and mode of attaching the two connecting rods R, R, thereto vso as to permit the drawing or driving wheels to conform to the curvature of the road without interfering with the movement of the steam pistons.
