To CLZZ whom, it pray concern: l

Be it known that l, CAPTAIN Il. Banken, a citizen of the United States, residing at Tallville, Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inlVindmills; and I do hereby declare the following to lbe a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to certa-in new and usefulimprovements in windmills; and it has for its objects, among others, to provide a simple and cheap construction whereby the mill is rendered automatic in its regulation or governing of the speed, and also automaticallystopped when the tank is full or the water therein has reached a predetermined height, thereby rendering the necessity of running after the tank is full useless and unnecessary. I also provide means whereby the mill will be automatically stopped during a storm, thus preventing injury to the mill by the jerking of the parts.

The device is composed of few parts, those readily assembled, not liable to get out of order, and most efficient in its operation.

Other objects and advantages of the invention will hereinafter appear, and the novel features thereof will be specifically defined by the appended claims.

The invention in this instance resides in the peculiar combinations and the construction, arrangement, and adaptation of parts, all as more fully hereinafter described, shown in the drawings, and then particularly pointed out in the claims.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which, with the let-` ters of reference marked thereon, form a part of this specification, and in which- Figure l is a perspective view of my improvement. Fig. 2 is a detail showing the connection between the two rudders. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of one of the blades detached. Fig. e is a vertical section through the line of the pump-rod. Fig. 5 is a substantially central vertical section with a portion broken away.

Like letters of reference indicate like parts throughout the several views.

Referring nowto the details ofthe drawings struction. form B, while below the same is the plate or by letter, A designates thetower, which may be of any suitable or wellknown form of con- At its upper `endthere is the plathorizontal timber @through which there is an opening D, and surrounding this opening.

is a socket E, in which the lower end of the shaft or column F is mounted to revolve freely. This column is preferably formed of the two pieces, as shown, held at the desired distance by the blocks arranged between them, and at the upper end thereof are the boxes or bearings a, in which is mounted the crank-shaft G, which forms a continuation of the shaft upon which the wind-wheel is secured. Y The outer end of this shaft is mounted in abearing at the upper end of the arm G', supported from the column, as shown. This wheel is preferably formed of the rim b, the hub c, and the spokes d of wire extending from the hub to the rim in other than parallel planes, and to these spokes are secured the wings or blades c, arranged as shown, leaving a space about the axis, as shown.

II is the pump-rod connected with the crankshaft in any suitable manner and working between the two parts of the column, as shown, and through a hole z' in the inner end of the arm I of the small rudder or vane. This arm is secured between the two parts of the column, and to its outer end is secured the rudder or vanel J, the outer end of which is somewhat bent at an angle to the length thereof, as shown. This arm is preferably formed of two parallel pieces suitably connected or braced, and between these pieces is pivotally mountedl one end of the arm K, the other end of which is disposed as hereinafter described.

L is the arm of the large vane cr rudder. It is pivotallyvniounted on a vertical pivot 7e on the column F, the said arm being composed of the two pieces suitably braced or held at the desired distance apart and at the outer end having pivotally mounted thereon on a vertical pivot fm. the large vane or rudder M. The inner end of this rudder is provided with a slot n, in which is designed tc work the end of the arm K, which is mounted on the vertical pin or pivot N, held in the end ofthe vane, and this end of this arm has the clamp O, in which is held the grooved pulley IOO pulley Q on the vertical axisy Q !held ybetween,

the two pieces of the armo the small rudder,

, and theny around another gro'ovedepulleyRv the hole D iny the timber C, and toy its lowery the pump-rodrbeing reciprocatedL througrhlitsl f connection'WithI the crankeshaft',which=forms c at the inner end of saidarm, and thence passes downward through a hole in the inner end ofL k,

the saidarm of the smallrudder and through end is attached a weight S.

Withthe parts constructed and 'arrangeds substantially as abover described ythe operar` tion yis as follows: Underordinary circum stances the mill Works in the usual manner,

the continuation ofk the sha-.ft of the Wind- Wheel, as will be readily understood'. The Windacting upon the small rndder'turnsfthe column around and throwsk the wheel parallel with the wind, thus governing the speed,

and also stops the milliny ,averyhard' Windorsstorm. When the Wind becomes strong enough to turn the column, the armcarrying the klarge rudder swings toward thesmalllrud dery and assumes Such an. anglewith relation" carryinga; Weight, asvandfor` the purposes e specified'. f

When the tank` is full, the Weight floats up andi rloosens the f oord', which ifs attached te a hook ory other 4o means on the tower, and the mill blows aro und yandy thereby automatically stops the mill.
