UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE..
JOSEPH O. wA'rE, OE wILToN JUNOTION, IOWA.
IMPROVEMENT IN WIND-WHEELS.
Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 56,297, dated July 10, 1866.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSEPH C. WA'rE, of Wilton Junction, Muscatine county, State of Iowa, have invented an Improved Self-Regulating Wind-Wheel; and I do hereby declare the following to be an exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specication.
rlhe nature of Iny invention consists in the arrangement and construction of the winddoors with their spring-catches and regulating-brake, all in combination, so as to act and operate according to the direction and force of the wind.
Figure 1 represents an elevation of the machine; Fig. 2, a top view, and Fig. the door spring-catch.
A represents the movable wind-doors, selfacting and self-regulating. There are two or more attached to arms B. It is also intended to have two or more sections of arms and doors in height one above the other. The arms (that support the door-posts or rods upon which the doors revolve) are to be made at right angles or semicircular, so that the doors can be arranged on the outside edges of the circle, or segments of a circle, as shown by red lines at C.
The springs or catches D are made in the form of a T, so that the doors move either way, according' to the direction of the wind, and can swing clear around, and are regulated by spiral springs E, so that the wind can catch the door, and the door will conform to the force and direction of the wind from any quarter, the doors swinging open at the opposite side from the direction of the wind, so as to produce no resistance to the wheel, the catch D holding the door shut when facing the wind; but when the wind blows too strong and a storm prevails, then the catch D yields, and the door opens as the point G is pressed to the one side of the slot H, and the wheel oers no resistance to the wind and is not injured by the storms, as other wheels.
I intend having four or more upright posts, J, according to the size of the machine, and, of course, two or more wind-brakes, K, attached to the posts.
The cross-braces L, that support the center spindle, are made of wood or iron, and guyrods, to stay the uprights, are intended to loe used in connection with a water-wheel. I purpose attaching this wind-wheel drivingshaft V to pumps to supply a reservoir that can be at any time used to operate a waterwheel to drive a mill or other machinery, and the water from the reservoir can be at any time used to supply the pumps and again refill the reservoir, using the waste-water and saving all the water in neighborhoods where water is scarce.
The brake K and the springs D equalize and regulate the revolution of the wheel, giving it as regular and steady a motion as any water-wheel. The brake K is operated by a lever, M, that has a tightening-pulley, N, at one end, the pulley revolving back and forth by the move ment of the vane P, which moves to either side, according to the force of the wind, by means of which the brake Kis pressed against the circular frame R of the machine. At the lower end of the shaft or spindle S there is-a bevel-wheel, T, that gears into a pinion that drives a horizontal shaft, V, by which a mill or any machinery can be operated.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The wind-doors A, in combination with the springs D and brake K, substantially as herein specified.
JOSEPH C. WATE.
