To all whom it may Concern:
Be it known that we, EZRA T. CAMPBELL and BERN- HARD H. NOELTING, citizens of the United States, residing at Nebraska City, in the county of Otoe and State of Nebraska, have invented certain new and usel'ul Improvements in-ll'ater-l'lotoi-S, 0i which the following is a specification.
Our invention has relation topthat class oi water motors in which a series of paddles of preferably rectangular' form are hinged to the connecting rods of an endless chain of frames rigidly connected at one of their ends by integral inverted U shaped braces which present a firm bearing surface for the paddles when presented to the current to receive the impact thereof, the ends of the connecting rods being adapted to engage in corresponding concave recesses in the radial arms of wheels and effect their rotation.
One of the objects ot' the invention is the production of a current motor which is comparatively simple and economical in construction, efficient in operation, and capable of delivering ashore the maximum amount of power possible from any stream in which it may be placed.
The invention consists in the novel construction, combination and arr: ngement of parts as will be hereinafter described.
ln the accompanying drawings in which like parts are designated by like characters throughout the several vicws:-Figure l, is a perspective view of our invention. Fig. l, is a cross sectional view of our invention, cut on the line a a, of Fig. l.l Fig. 2, is a detail perspective view of our invention, showing the construction of the frames comprising the endless chain for the paddles. Fig. 3, is a bottom plan view of one of the paddles hinged to one of the connecting rods. Fig. 3, is an edge view oi Fig. 3. Fig. 4, is a modification of our invention, showing the construction of the frames comprising the endless chain for the paddles and the manner of securing them thereto when the motor is used as a propeller.
Our invention is described as follows1The numeral 1, represents the frames comprising the endless chain for the paddles. Said frames are preferably constructed of flat rectangular steel bars 2 transversely perforated near their ends and rigidly connected at one of their ends by means of inverted U shaped braces 3, the purpose of which will be shown. The free ends of said frames are rigidly braced a pre-determined distance apart by oblique braces 4, which are secured at their ends to the inner sides of said bars 2 of said frames 1. Said frames are detachably connected together by bringing them in such a position that the perforations in their tree ends register with the perforations in the opposite ends of adjacent frames, and employing transverse connecting rods 5, which are passed transversely through said perforations. The numeral 6, represent shaped braces 3, of the frames.
the paddles of our motor, which paddles are constructed of suitable material and are preferably rectangular in shape. Said paddles are hinged to said connecting rods 5 within the bars 2 of said frames l by longitudinal plates or bars 7, whichare rigidly secured to the under faces of said paddles and hinged at their eyed ends to said connecting rods 5. The ends of said transverse connecting rods 5 protrude sufliciently beyond the outer faces of the bars 2 oi said frames 1 to permit of engagement in corresponding concave recesses in the radial arms of wheels 9. The radial arms of said wheels 9 are of such a number and such distances apart with respect to the frames 1 as to permit of perfectengagement with the ends of said connecting rods 5.
When in use, the free ends of the upper section of the train of paddles G lie down against the tops of the inverted U shaped braces 3 of said frames 1 and travel in a direction opposite to that of the current. The lower section of the train of paddles travel in the direction of the current and are held in vertical position by the inverted U shaped braces 3 of said frames, which serve as bearing surfaces for the upper hinged ends of said paddles. In this position the paddles receive all the power of the stream possible. The paddles traveling in the direction of the current are carried up and over corresponding wheels 9, and travel in a direction opposite to the current, when the paddles lie down again against the tops of the inverted U Our water motor, when in use, is secured on a catamaran, or a fiat boat, provided with a proper central walled opening for the paddles securely anchored to prevent its floating away.
When we desire very great power, we make the chain of considerable length so we may use quite a number oi paddles, in which case we erect a vertical frame 9*", on the upper and lower rails of which the spools 5, journaled on the ends of the rod 5, run.
1n the modification of our invention, see Fig. 4, which is designed to be used as a propeller, we dispense with the inverted U shaped braces 3, of the frames 1, and in lieu thereof employ an additional set of oblique braces with each frame. In this case, the paddles G, are not hinged to the connecting rods 5, but are vertically braced at the center of the lengths of the frames by curved braces 10, secured at their lower ends to the side bars of the frames and at their centers to the outer edges of said paddles. The wheels 9, in this case are constructed in accordance with the wheels for the water motor, and the frames work over the wheels in the same manner as the frames of the motor.
Having described my invention, what 1 claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:-
1. In a water motor, the combination or' a series of frames, each consisting of two rectangular bars trans versely perforated at eitherend, and connected at one end by a transverse inverted U sha1 d brace; oblique braces. their ends secured to the inner ces ol said bars; transverse connecting; rods, one passing through the perforations in the end oi.' each traine. and the perfor-ations in the opposite end el the adjacent trarne: longitudinal bars. hinged to said connecting' rods within said frames; rec taugular paddles. their under .laces secured to said last mentioned bars, and wheels having radial arms provided with concave recesses in'tlieir ends, the outer ends olf said connecting`- rods adapted to engage in the recesses ot the radial arms oi' said .vheels and effect their rotation, sub4 stantially as shown and described, and for the purposes set forth.
