UNITED STATES .IOHN DEGNON, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO.
PATENT OFFICE.`
IMPROVEMENT IN eovERNoRs.
Speciiication forming part of .Letters Patent No. 56,908, dated August 7, 1866..
To all whom t may concern.'
Be it known that I, JOHN DEGNON, ot Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented new and` Improved Regulator for Steam-Engines and other Mo tors; and I do hereby declarethat the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, forming part of this' specification, in Which- Figure l represents a sectional front elevation of this invention. Fig. 2 is a sectional side elevation ofthe same.
Similar letters of referenceindicate correspondin g parts.
This invention consists in the use or employment of a propeller which is made to re volve in a cylinder or tank fllled with Water or other liquid, in combination With the throttle-valve of a steam-engine, or with the gate of a water-Wheel, or with any other equivalent part of another motor, in such a manner that by the action ot the liquid in the tank against the plates of the propeller the valve or gate is closed when the speed of the propeller increases, aud the valve or gate is opened when the speedof the propeller decreases.
A represents a tank or cylinder, made of cast-iron or any other suitable material, and
y lilled partially or Wholly Withwater or other suitable liquid. In this cylinder or tank revolves the propeller B, which is secured to a Vertical spindle, G, and to which a rotary motion isiinparted by means of'gear-Wheels a, b, from anypart of the steamengine or other motor the speed of which is to be regulated.
In order to connect the spindle C With the cog-Wheel a, and also allow the same to slide up or down through the wheel, the upper part of the spindle is made square and I'itted in a corresponding square hole in the Wheel, or it If the speed of the engine increases the` propeller, by the action of its blades against the liquid in the tank or cylinder A, rises, and the throttle-valve closes; and it' the speed of the engine decreases the propeller sinks down by its own Weight, which, if'necessary, may
`be assisted bya spring, and the throttlevalve opens. 4
Instead of connecting' the propeller to the throttlevalve of a steam-engine it may be connected to the gate of a Water-wheel, or to the brake of a horse-power, or to the corresponding part of any other motor, and the speed ot' saidmotor will be rendered self-regulating by the resistance of the liquid in the tank or regulator against the blades of the propeller.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The combination ot the propeller-B, revolving in Water inthe cylinder A, th-e spindle O, and rack D, applied with the ,toothed-segment E, attached to the spindle d, operated through the medium of the gearing a b, substantially in the manner and for the purpose represented and described. l
The above specication of my invention signedby Ine this 4th day of October, 1865.
, JOHN DEGNON.
