Description
N. PETERS. PHOTO-L THOGRAGHER WASHINGTON UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
R. S. HOLETON, OF NILES, OHIO.
IMPROVEMENT ,IN WATER-WHEELS.
Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 56,560, dated July 24, 1866.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, R. S. HOLETON, of Niles, in the county of Trumbull and State oi' Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Water-Wheels; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and complete description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a top View of the ume and wheel. Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical section in the direction of the lines m Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical section in the direction of the lines :12' w'.
Like letters of reference refer to like parts in the different views.
' A represents the cap or case in which the wheel revolves, and which also excludes the water from it only as it enters through the side openings, e c. Consequently the whole force of the water is made to act on the buckets and is discharged down through the penstock. This cap can be removed when desired, the pieces A being grooved at c to admit its sliding in or out, and also serving to hold it firm in its place.
B represents the partition separating the flume from the pen-stockn C is the flume; D, (Figs. 2 and 3,) the water-wheel; E, the waterwheel shaft, to which is attached a belt for turning machinery. F is the bearings of the shaft. G (Fig. 3) represents the pen-stock; G',
the water-gate. a is a lever for operating the gate; b, the connecting-rod. d d are screw bolts and nuts for securing the partition and cap in place.
The water from the flume C passes through the openings e c in the partitions, which are just large enough to cover the wheel. These wheels are kept in motion by a continuous stream passing through, which is discharged through the gate Gr' of the pen-stock G.
The velocity of the wheels depends on the quantity of water which is in the ilume, and is allowed to discharge through the gate.
The gate can be opened or closed by raising or lowering the connecting-rod d, thus raising or lowering the lever a, which is attached to the shaft of the gate.
The wheel may be so arranged that the shaft can run either in a perpendicular or horizontal position.
What I claim as my improvement, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The arrangement of the pen-stock G within the flume C, and the wheel within said penstock, in combination with the cap A, side openings, c e, gate Gr', below the wheels, lever a, and rod b, in the manner and for the purpose set forth.
R. S. HOLETON.
