S. D. TAYLOR, OF HAZ'LETON, PENNSYLVANIA.
Letters Patent No. 93,7 67 dated August 17, 1869.
IMPROVEMENT 1N WATER-WHEELS.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, S. D. TAYLOR, of Hazleton,
in the county of Luzerne, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Turbine \VatcrJVhetls; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear,'and' exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and .use the same, reference being had to the -accompanying drawings, forming part ofthis specification. I
This invention relates to new and useful improveineuts in that class of water-wheels known-as turbines and consists in a device for exposing the wheel for the removal of obstructions, and for other pur poses, and in the manner of guiding the water on to,
"The ends-of the chutes are curved, the inner end I so as to correspond with the perimeter of the wheel, and the outer end, for giving the water the. proper direction to the wheel.
B represents the buckets, which are so pl'acedthat they receive the water at right angles with the face of the chute, and so that the water, as the wheel revolves, will be tlirowuto the outer circumference of the wheel.
G repres'ents a deck or cover, which may be readily removed, for uncovering and removing the wheel, if desired, for the removal'of any obstacle, or for other purposes. 1 I I I) represents the gate, which works in grooves in the chutes, as seen in the drawing. .The gate maybe made to close all the water-apertures simultaneously, or otherwise, as may be desired.
It will. be seen that the buckets B do not radiate from the centre of the wheel, but from'a circle around the centre, thereby giving the buckets the proper angle for producing. the best effect from the water.
E represents the bottom of the-'flume. In putting in the wheel, it is onlynecessary to cut a hole through the bottom, as s'een'in the drawing, and place the wheel directly over it, and, when properlyfsecured, it is ready to run.
' The water is discharged fiom the bottom of the wheel through the second series, or reverse buckets, where reaction is produced by such discharge, in the usual manner.
Having thus described my invention, 7
I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patentr The arrangement of the chutes A, with relation to each other and. to the buckets B, said chutes forming fuunels,'leading tothe buckets, whereby the wateris directed to the outer ends only of the latter, in the manner described, for the purpose specified.
S. D. TAYLOR.
