/NvE/WUH ns n nrs E E n uN IBY A TTOHNEYS WITNESS/5S these osts arranged in two pairs, one pair at eac i end and inside the two floats A. A. The posts are yrovided with rack bars g and each pair is a( usted vertically by pinions h on a transverse shaft H which. pinions mesh with the rack bars on the osts. The shaft H is -turned by a crank l or by a power gearing and the shaft is sustained in bearings in derricks or u right braced frames a.
To the posts T G is connected the movable deckD and with it the current motor wheel, sothatsaid posts not only aid in anchoring the apparatus to place, but, when elevated a sufficient distance, raise also the current wheel as seen in dotted lines in Fig. 2. This is important in adjusting i't to esca e half buried logs and stones in the river ottoni and it also permits the motor wheel to be lifted entirely above the water for transportation of the boat to another point or for inspection and repairs.
On each side of the motor wheel is arranged a continuous Guard I, Fig. 2, which extends the full length of the wheel as seen in Fig. 3. These two'guards form a passage for the' water below the floats which concentrates the flow of the water on the wheel and very greatly increases its efficiency. These guards may be conveniently mounted on the posts G so .as to be adjustable therewith,
For causing 'a larger amount of water to enter the central channel two convergent iins t, i, Fig. 3, are arranged at the bow ofthe boat and on the inner inclined faces ofthe same.
ln making use of my invention l propose wherefgreat power is desired to use a series of these current motors, arranged in alinement in the stream and in such case their shafts will be connected coaxially by a couplingshaft X, seen in Figs, l
l claim 1. A; current motor, consisting of two elongated boat-shaped floats connected together at` the bow anr;` stern, an intermediate deck arranged between the floats and having pendent shaft bearings on its under-side, a wheel. shaft `journaled -in said bearings and provided with inclined blades, bearings and mounted above the deck, a driven shaft arranged in said bearings above the deck paresteri allel with the'wheel shaft, gearing connecting shaft with inclined blades spaced alongritsv length, pendent bearings for the same connected to the lower side of the deck, a driven shaft arranged above the deck, gearing connecting the two shafts and vertically adjustab e side guards arranged on opposite sides of the wheel shaft and below thelevel of the floats to concentrate the flowing'water on the wheel. i
3. A submerged current water wheel consisting of a shaft having radial blades set at an inclination alon theshaft, a gear fixed rigidly to the 'shaft for taking olf the motion and a deflector arranged to prevent the fouling of the same with grass and debris.
4. A current motor consisting of two elongated boat-shaped floats connected together at the bow and stern, a movable deck between the floats, a horizontal wheel shaft arran ed in bearings on the under side of the dec a driven shaft arranged in bearingson top Vof the deck, vertically adjustable posts connected to the deck to sustain the saine, said posts being arranged to engage the river bottom and means for raising and lowering the posts.4
5. A current motor consisting of two elongated boat-shaped floats connected together at the bow and sternfa movable deck between the floatsVa horizontal wheel shaft arranged in bearings on the under side of the deck, a driven shaft arran fed 1n bearings lon top of the deck, vertica ly adjustable posts connected to the deck to sustain tho same, said posts being arranged to engage the river bottom, means for raising and lowering the saine and two parallel side guards arranged 0n opposlte sld es of the wheel shaft and connecter to the vert1cal posts.
