WATER-MOTO R.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.` 429,487, dated June3, 1890.
Application led .Tuly 18, V1889. Serial No. 317,938. (Model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JESSE S. TEED, a citizen of the United States, residing at Walton, in the county of Delaware and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful lmprovements in Tater-Motors; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and eX- act description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters ofl reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to water-motors that are operated by the impact of a jet against buckets that are arranged in a circle about and connected with a shaft from which the power is taken.
The object of the invention is to discharge the water wholly and entirely to one side of the wheel at a tangent and to hold the jet in contact with the bucket until the jet is wholly reversed and has spent its energy.
A further object is the construction of a case for the wheel in which the bottom section can be removed to observe the position of the jet relative to the buckets, and in which the size of the jet can be readily adjusted to the head of water and the amount of work to be performed.
The improvement consists of the novel features which will be hereinafter more fully describedandclaimed, and which are shown in the annexed drawings, in which- Figure l is a vertical longitudinal section of a motor embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a cross-section on the line @c of Fig. l.
' Fig. 3 is a cross-section of the case on the line y y of Fig. 1, showing the gate on an enlarged scale. Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view of the gate. Fig. 5 is a front view of the bucket. Fig. 6 is a top plan view of the bucket.
The case is composed of the sides A and A', the ends B and B', the bottom C, and the top D. The top D and the bottom C are bolted to the upper and the lower edges of the said sides and ends,respectively, substantially as shown. That portion of the bottom c opposite the wheel E slants and terminates at its f lowest end in the discharge-spout e.
The jet-opening l) in the end is closed by ithe gate F, which isl vertically adjustable to Yregulate the size of the jet. The gate is held working in the opening b, prevents the-water rising in said opening above the lower edge of gate F. This valve has recesses in its sides, in which packing g is placed to form a close joint between the valve and the rear of the opening b, closed by a plate ll. The valve, working between the plate H and gate F, is compelled to move Without binding. The stem h is grooved near the lower end, and the lugs cl on the back of the gate embrace the groove-and form a connection between the gate and the stem, so that the gate will be moved vertically with the stem when the latter is adjusted vertically.
The gate F is placed between end wall B and a partition or wall B2,which has opening b2, through which the water passes from the water space or chest comprised between the said walls B and B2. This opening b2 is suiiiciently large to permit free access to the wheel when end B is removed, and is closed by plate B', in which is formed opening b', of proper size and required height. The position of opening b controls the relation of the jet to the buckets of the wheel. The wheel E is mounted on the shaft I, which is journaled in the bearings J and J', the bearing J being supported on bracketj. The buckets K, which are paraboliform, have one-half of the upper or o uter side cut away and the edge of the remaining half k turned in and gradually thickened from the outer end toward the bottom of the bucket, where it vanishesor merges into the curved form of the bucket. The bucket is disposed relative to the jet so that the latter will strike the bottom of the bucket near the open side 7c' at k2, from which point the water will curve toward the closed side k3 of the bucket and leave the bucket at a tangent to the periphery of the wheel, as most clearly indicated by the lines in Fig. 5; hence it will be seen that the water leaves on one side of the wheel, thereby not cushioning or detracting from the force of the jet.
ICO
Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-
1. In a Water-wheel, the combination, with the case having a jet-opening, of the gate for closing the opening and theva-lve having packing in its sides carried by the gate and working in th-e said jet-opening, substantially as described.
2. The combination, with the water-wheel case havinga jet-opening g, of the gate F, having slots f, the screws f', the plate II, and the valve G, carried by the gate and having its sides packed, substantially as and for the purposes specified.
8. The herein shown and described parabolifornl bucket, having one-half of its exterior or outer side removed, substantially as described.
JESSE S. TEED.
