FISHER A. SPOFFORD AND MATTHEW G. RAFFINGTONOF COLUM- BUS, OHIO. l
vLetters Patent No. 95,531, dated ctober 5, 1869.
IMPROVEMENT IN WATER-VELOCIPEDES.
The Schedule referred to in these Lettexs Patent and making part of the same.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, FISHER A..SPoFFo1tD and MATTHEW G. RAFFINGTON, of Columbus, in the county of Franklin, and State of Ohio, have invented a new and improved VVater-Velocipede; and we do hereby declare that the followingis a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable. others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.
Figure l represents a plan or top view of' our im proved wa'ter-velocipede.
Figure 2 is a side view, partlyl in section, of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
This invention relates to a new mechanism for pro- I pelling water-craft by muscular power, -and by the aid of levers, ratchet-Wheels, 85e., applied to paddle-wheels,
as hereinafter more fully described.
A represents the bodyof the boat.
B is a transverse shaft hung therein.
G G are the paddle-wheels, mounted on the ends of the shaft B. j l
v On the shaft B are also mounted, ratchet-wheels a c, as shown. y i
D D are toothed wheels,'hung loose on the shaft B, and provided with spring-pawls' b b, which mesh into the teeth ofthe ratchet-wheels a a Each'wheel D is hung between two ratchet-wheels, as shown, those ou its opposite side having their teeth set in opposite directions.
On each side of each wheel D is also a p awl, adapted for the ratchet-wheel a on s uch side.
One set of pawls is thrown into gear with its set of ratchet-wheels, to turn the shaft in one direction, and in order to reverse the motion of vthe shaft, the
other pair of pawls is thrown' into gear with the other pair ofratchet-wheels.
E is a transverse shaft, hung in the boat, and carrying two loose toothed segments, F F, which mesh into the teeth of the Wheels D.
G is a lever, pivoted with its end to the bottom of the boat, and connected, by rods c c, with the segments F, respectively.
By oscillating the lever G, the segments will be osc, segments F, pinions l), pawls b', ratchetwheels a,.
and paddle-shaft B, all combined and operating substantially as herein shown and described. F. A. SPOFFORD.
Witnesses: MATTHEW G. RAFFINGTON.
