TOY WATER-WHEEL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Lettere Patent No. 568,856,01eted october 6, 1896.
Application filed May 6,1895. Serial No. 548,838. (No model.)
a side elevation of our improved toy. Fig. 2 represents a front elevation of the same. Fig. 3 represents a section on line 3 8 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 represents a section on line 4 l of Fig. 3. The same letters of reference indicate the 4same parts in all the figures.
In the drawings, a represents a frame, which is provided with a seat or fixed clamping member Cd, adapted to bear upon one side of a faucet b. The frame Ct is also provided with a movable clamping member a2, which is arranged to bear upon the opposite side of the faucet b and is connected with an adj listing-screw a3, which is engaged with a yoke or bracket a4, mounted on the frame a, said screw being arranged to force the clamp a2 against the faucet and thus cause the two members ct' and co2 to tightly clamp the faucet and hold the frame a thereon.
c represents a water-wheel, which is affixed to a shaft c', journaled in bearings in the frame a, said frame being*l extended from the portion where the clamping members are located in the form of two arms projecting at opposite sides of the water-wheel. The wheel is arranged so that when the frame is applied as described to a faucet the buckets of the wheel are presented to the stream issuing from the faucet, so that the wheel will be impelled thereby. A
It will be seen from the foregoing that the water-wheel-carrying frame provided with clamping members, the Wheel and clamping members being relatively arranged as described, so that when the said members are applied to a faucet the wheel is presented to the stream issuing from the faucet, constitutes a toy which is adapted to be readily applied to a faucet of ordinary construction and is made operative by the act of applying it to the faucet, said toy being readily removable, so that it does not interfere with the ordinary use of the' faucet.
h represents a shaft, which is journaled in bearings on the frame (t and is provided with fly-wheels g g, which are connected by connecting-rods f f with cranks c e, affixed to the shaft c of the water-wheel, the arrangement being such that the described connections impart rotary motion to the shaft h when the water-wheel is in operation. The shaft 7L may be used to drive other light mechanisms by being suitably belted or otherwise connected thereto.
We do not limit ourselves to the details of construction here shown, and may variously modify the same without departing from the spirit of our invention.
The clamping member d2 is here shown as made in the form ofa grooved disk, having trunnions a5 a5, which enter angular slots (t6 in the yoke, the latter being free from positive attachment to the frame, so that the member ft2 can accommodate itself to the size and shape of the faucet.
The side portions of the frame Ct are shown in Figs. l and 3 as provided with slots a7 to receive the trunnions (t5.
Ve claiml.. In a faucet attachment, the combination of a frame or support comprising an arm, a seat on one side thereof at its inner end and xedly attached to it and projecting laterally from it to extend over and engage one side of the faucet-spout, and suitable bearings at the outer end of the frame for the shaft of a bucket-wheel 5 a clamping-piece in juxtarelation to said seat to engage the opposite side of the spout, and movable on the arm toward and from the seat; adjusting means interposed between the clamping-piece and seat and operating by engagement therewith to force said parts toward each other upon the spout; and a bucket-wheel rotatively supported by the bearings at the outer end of the frame in position to receive a stream of water issuing from the faucet-spout when the frame is clamped thereto.
2. A faucet attachment comprising a frame IOO composed of side arms and zt seat extending between the same for engaging the dischargespout of the faucet; a water-wheel journaled between said arms at the outer end of the 5 frame; a shaft at the inner end of the frame; connect-ions between the water-wheel and the shaft to turn the latter; t clampingpiece opposed to the seat; and ineens for moving said cizunping-pieee toward and from the seat 1o for the purpose described.
3. A faucet attach ment Comprising at frame .composed of side arms and u spout-engaging seat extending between the same; a yoke struddling the seat and extending beyond I5 the same; a. e1sn1ping-piece journaled in the JAS. D. KINSLEY. SAML. L. POWERS.
