Description
Patented Mar. 81, 1894.
UNITED STATES PATENT Orric FLORY MILLER, OF NAPOLEON, OHIO.
WIND-WHEEL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 449,489, dated March 31, 1891.
Application filed February 12, 1891. Serial No. 381,186. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, FLORY MILLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Napoleon, in the county of Henry and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in WVindheels; and I do hereby 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.
My invention relates to improvements in wind-wheels; and it has for its object to provide an improved wheel in which any one of the series of sections can be readily removed for purposes of replacement or repair; and a further object is to provide a wheel in which the blades are held firmly in place by the rims without the use of individual fastening devices, and in which eitherindividual blade can be readily removed and replaced if broken or damaged.
With these and other ends in view my invention consists in a sectional wheel having the blades thereof secured or connected together by flanged rim pieces provided on their opposing faces with a series of inclined slots adapted to receive the blades of the wheel, a bolt or other fastening for'drawing the rimpieces and the blades tightly together, and flanged end pieces secured between each pair of rim-pieces at both ends of each section of the wheel, and bolts which secure these end plates to the opposing plates in the adjacent sections of the wheel.
My invention further residesin the peculiar construction and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
To enable others to understand my invention,I have illustrated the same in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is an elevation of a wind-wheel constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional view through a portion of two adjacent sections of the wheel. Fig. 3 is a detail view showing a part of one section of the wheel, and Fig. 4 is a similar View in section.
Like letters of reference denote corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawings, referring to which-- A designates the wheel, which is made up or composed of a series of sections B O D, which are detachably secured together. Each section of the wheel has its blades E held. firmly in place by rimpieces F, arranged on either side of the blades near the outer and inner ends thereof. These rim-pieces are provided in their opposing edges with a series of inclined slots 6. in which the edges of the blades F are placed, and the outer edges of the rimpieces are provided with flanges f, which extend continuously of the length of said rimpieces to strengthen and bracethe same. The rim-pieces are bound together and the blades thereby retained in position by means of a cross-bolt G, which passes through suitable apertures in the flanges e of the opposing rimpieces and which is secured in place by nut g.
H designates the rim end pieces, which are arranged between and secured to the flanges of the opposing rim-pieces at each end of the wheel-section, and said end pieces are provided with a projecting lug h, in which is formed an aperture adapted to align with a similar aperture in the end pieces of the ads joining Wheel-section to receive a bolt for the purpose of fastening the two sections of the wheel together, as is obvious.
The operation and advantages of my invention will be readily perceived by one skilled in the art, in view of the foregoing description, taken in connection with the drawings.
Should it be desirable to replace a section of the wheel, it can be easily removed from the wheel by removing the bolts connecting the said section with the adjoining sections. To replace a single blade of a section of the wheel, it is only necessary to loosen the nuts and release the blade, which. can, be pushed or driven out of the rims, and after the new blade has been inserted the nuts can be again tightened to fasten the blades rigidly to the rims of the wheelsections.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. A wind-wheel having the flanged rimpieces provided with the inclined slots in the opposing edges thereof, the blades fitted in said slots, and bolts for drawing the opposing rim-pieces tightly against the edges of the 5 blades, substantially as shown and described. 2. A sectional wind-Wheel comprising the flanged rim-pieces provided with the inclined slots in their opposing edges, the blades fitted in said slots, the end pieces secured to the 10 flanges of the rim-pieces and provided with he integral apcrtured projections, and the bolts for uniting the end pieces of onesection to the end pieces of adjoining Wheel-sew tions, substantially as shown and described, for the purpose specified. 15
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
FLORY MILLER.
