Description
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
BEES PALMER, OF WEST CHESTER, PENNSYLVANIA.
IMPROVEMENT IN SHEET-MTAL WATER-WHEELS.
` Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 56,089, dated July 3, 1866.
To all whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that I, BEES PALMER, of West Chester, in the'county of Chester, in the State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Sheet-Metal Water- Wheels; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved wheel, partly in section, and Fig. 2 a front elevation of the same, like letters of reference. indicating the same parts when in both iigures.
My improvement relates to the mode of constructing and applying the buckets to the band of a sheet-metal water-wheel, and has for its objects greater simplicity, strength, and durability of the same.
My invention consists in making the breast, bottom, and sides of each bucket of the wheel in a single piece of the sheet metal cut out, bent, flanged, and riveted to the band of the wheel, as hereinafter described and set forth.
ln the drawings, A is the band of the wheel, and B B the series of buckets. The band A is supported concentrically around the shaft C by means of four or more arms, D D, one end of each of which is screwed into a boss, E, on the shaft C, while the other end enters a transverse piece, F, which is pressed against the inner side of the band A, so as to adjust and support it by means of a screw-nut, G, on the said end of the arm D, as Vshown in Fig. 1.
The sheet metal plates for the buckets B are each cut into the form shown in the diagram H I, and then bent on the dotted lines shown, so as to produce the breast It', sides h2 h2, bottom h3, and anges i c" 2. The ianges are then punched for the rivets, by which they are fastened to the band A, with the ends ofthe sides of the said buckets D overlapping, as seen in the drawings. Any open joints should then be soldered close.
Instead of riveting the two side flanges t" t" to the band A, as described, they maybe cut a little wider and turned under the edges Aof the band A, and thus secured; but the mode. rst described is believed to be the better one.
The sheet metal generally used in the construction of this wheel is what is called galvanized or zinced plate-iron. Thisis a ver;r simple, strong, and economical mode of constructing and applying the buckets of a sheetmetal water-wheel.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is confined to the following, viz:
In combination with the sheet-metal band A, supported by the arms D, as described, the sheet-metal buckets B, when the said buckets are constructed and applied to the said baud in the manner and for the purpose described.
EEES PALMER.
