WIND-MOTOR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 600,893, dated March 22, 1898.
Application filed July 9, 1897. Serial No. 643,965. (N0 model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that LEMANUEL D. SoHMUcKnR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ayr, in the county of Marshall and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wind-Motors; and I do here by declare the following to be 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.
My invention relates to an improvement in wind-motors; and it consists in a suitable supporting-frame, a wheel journaled therein, and a casing composed of two parts which are applied to opposite sides of the wheel and around which they revolve, combined with an upright which extends above the frame, a vane pivoted to the upright, a sliding collar placed upon the vane, and a curved rod which passes through an eye on the vane and by means of which the vane is moved into and out of the wind, as will be more fully described hereinafter.
The objects of my invention are to provide a motor which is operated by the wind and which can be started and stopped at the will of the operator and to construct a motor which is cheap and simple in construction, readily controlled, and which will not easily get out of repair.
Figure 1 is a perspective View of a motor which embodies my invention complete. Figs.
- 2 and 3 are plan views of the motor, showing 7 when at a standstill.
shown, so as to be braced rigidly in relation to each other, and which parts can be adjusted in relation to the wheel in the usual manner for the purpose of throwing the wheel in and out of the wind. The lower end of the axle O of the wheel passes vertically through a horizontal support N, which extends across in the frame L, while the upper end of the axle enters the lower end of the upright O, which extends a suitable distance above the top of the frame L and forms a support for the vane D.
The vane D is hinged in any suitable manner to the upright O, as shown in Figs. 4 and 6, and is provided with an eye G at any suitable point, through which the rod F passes. To the lower end of this rod F, which is curved or bent, as shown, is rigidlysecured the sleeve E, which is splined upon the upright, so as to have a free rising-and-falling movem entthereon. The collar H is loosely swiveled on this sleeve E, and to the collar H one end of the pivoted lever I is loosely connected, and by means of this lever the sleeve can be freely raised and lowered upon the upright C, no matter in what position it may have been turned by the upright O and vane D. As the sleeve E is raised the curved rod F is forced endwise through the eye G and is thus made to force the vane D around toward the stop 19, which is rigidly secured to or formed with the upright 0, and in thus moving the vane the easing B is also turned, so that the wheel is pro tected from the wind, as shown in Fig. 3, and hence the wheel is brought to a stop. when the lever I is released, the sleeve E sinks upon the upright and the curved rod F draws the vane D around until it rests against the stop at, extending at about a right angle to the one I), and the casing 13 is then moved accordingly, so as to allow the wind to strike the wheel and cause it to revolve. The upright 0 and the casing 13 are rigidly connected, so that when one turns the other turns with it, and the pressure of the wind against the vane causes the upright and the frame to adjust themselves to every wind that blows.
Having thus described my invention, I claim 1. In a windmotor, a suitable supportingframe, a wheel journaled therein, and a casing composed of two parts which are applied to opposite sides of the wheel, and which are revoluble around the wheel, combined with an upright, which extends above the frame, a vane pivoted to the upright, a sliding collar placed upon the upright, and a curved rod which passes through an eye on the vane,
. upon the upright, a lever for moving the coland by means of which, the vane is moved into, and out of the wind, substantially as shown.
2. In a wind-motor, a suitable supportingframe, a wheel journaled therein, and an upright extending above the top of the frame and provided with two stops for regulating the distance that the vane shall be moved, combined with a vane pivoted 0r hinged to the upright, a vertically-moving collar placed an eye upon the vane, and by means of which the vane is moved from one stop to the other, the upright being connected with the casing I that is applied to the outer sides of the wheel, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
I EMANUEL D. SOHMUCKER.
