JOSHUA W. REAMS, OF RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, ASSIGNOR TO RICHMOND CEDAR WORKS, OF RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, A CORPORATION OF VIRGINIA.
. GEARING.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 10, 1909.
Application filed. September 12,1908. Serial No. 452,701.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSHUA W. BEAMS, a citizen of the United States of America, and resident of Richmond, in the county of I-Ienrico and State of Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gearing, of which the following is a full and clear specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation; Fig. 2 is a plan view of my improved device; and Fig. 3 is a plan view showing a modification.
The object of this invention is to provide a gearing with a simple high-speed fly-wheel attachment to store up part of the power and thus contribute to rapidity and uniformity of operation, as more fully hereinafter set forth.
This gearing is especially adapted for use on washingmachines of the agitator type wherein the driving gearing and the agitator shaft are mounted on the lid of the tub and must therefore be raised with the lid when the same is opened, but it is obvious that the invention is not restricted to washing-machines as it is applicable to other tubs or vessels provided with means for stirring or agitating their contents.
Referring to the drawing by reference characters, a; designates the usual gearwheel attached to the vertical stirrer-shaft of the machine; I) the pinion meshing with said gear and carried on a floating driving shaft journaled in a frame 0 fastened to the lid of the machine. The lid is hinged to the top of the tub at d and the axis of the hinges is parallel with the drive-shaft. On the outer end of the drive-shaft is rigidly fixed a large gearwheel 6 and for rotating thisgear-wheel a pitman f is connected to it and to the operating lever g pivoted on a bracket h attached to the side of the tub. Any other suitable means such as a handle attached to the gearwheel may be employed for rotating it, and any suitable well-known or improved means may be employed for transmitting motion from the drive-shaft to the stirrer-shaft.
The gear-wheel e meshes with a pinion 71 below it, this pinionioeing carried by a flywheel rotatably mounted on a horizontal stub-shaft fixed tothe side of the tub and having its axis in parallelism with the axis of the hinges of the lid. The fly-wheel lies in a vertical plane between the large gear-wheel e and the adjacent side of' the tub. Attached to the outer end of the stub-shaft is a guard-plate 7c adapted to prevent clothing or the fingers being caught in the intermeshing teeth of the gear-wheel and the pinion.
It will be observed that by'my invention I provide an extremely simple high-s eed attachment for a well-known type 0 rotary washing-machine which does not require that the mechanism be materially altered and which will impart to the stirrer-shaft the desirable high-speed and smoothness of operation with the expenditure of a minimum of ower. A feature of importance lies in the fact that the fiy-wheel and its pinion are so located with reference to the hinges of the lid carrying the remaining portion of the gearing that the lid may be opened without lifting the fly-wheel and its pinion, thus avoiding the labor and strain on the hinges incident to lifting the entire gearing.
As shown in Fig. 8, the fly-wheel may be placed outside the gears and thus serve as a guard for the gears and do away with guard plate 7c.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In combination with a stationary support, a support hinged thereto and a vertical shaft to be 0 erated carried thereby, a driveshaft j ourna ed on the hinged support and a gear-wheel carried thereby at its outer end, means for transmittin power from the driveshaft to said vertical s iaft, a shaft supported on the stationary support below the aforesaid gear, a fly-wheel journaled on said shaft and a pinion carried thereby meshing with said gear, and operating means mounted on the stationary support and connected to said gear-wheel.
2. In combination with a stationary support, an upwardly swinging support, a driven shaft mounted in the swinging support, a drive-shaft and means for transmitting power therefrom to said driven shaft, a vertical gear-wheel fastened on the outer end of said drive-shaft, operating means on the stationary support and connected directly out lifting the fly-Wheel and pinion. 1
to said gear-Wheel, a stub-shaft mounted on In testimony whereof I hereunto :tfiix my the stationary support belowsaid gear-wheel, signature in the presence of two Witnesses a fiy-wheel ournaled on said stub-shaft and a, this 2nd day of September 1908.
pinion carried thereby meshing with said JOSHUA W. REAM S. gear-Wheel, whereby the swinging support and its gearing elements may be raised With- Witnesses:
