MECHANISM FOR TRANSMITTING POWER.
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented July 26, 1910.
Application filed March 2, 1910. Serial No. 546,935.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, THEODORE F REDERICK l/VEILAND, a citizen of the United States, re-
in the county of Chester and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mechanism for Transmitting Power, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in mechanism for transmitting power, the object of the invention being to utilize between the cross head of a reciprocating engine andthe crank-shaft, a lever, the long end of the lever being connected with the cross head, and the shorter end with the crank-shaft by means of suitable links.
A further object is to provide an improved lever and mounting therefor, and improved means connecting the lever with a crankshaft, whereby power imparted to the long end of the lever will be transmitted by the shorter end of the lever to the crank-shaft, and the oscillating and reciprocating movements of the lever will be'accommodated in the improved mounting for the lever.
With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction, and combinations and ar rangements of parts as will be more fully hereinafter explained and pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1, is a plan view illustrating my improvements. Fig. 2, is a view in side elevation. Fig. 3, is a view in longitudinal section on the line 33 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4, is an enlarged view in elevation illustrating the mounting for the lever. Fig. 5, is a view in section on the line 55 of Fig. 4. Figs. 6 and 7, are enlarged views in elevation illustrating the end formation of the lever.
1 represents a bed plate on which bearings 2 are secured, and support a shaft 3, having a crank-head or wheel 4 at one end, a pulley 5 at its other end from which power is taken, and a heavy fly wheel 6 between its ends.
7 represents the cylinder of an ordinary reciprocating engine, 8 the piston rod, and 9 the cross head, the latter mounted to reciprocate in a guide frame 10 secured on bed plate 1. The cross head 9 is in the form of a recessed block, in which the longer end of my improved lever 11 is mounted, and
lever 11 is mounted in the central opening 1s pivotally connected by a pin 12. The
13, in a bearing block 14. This bearing block 14 is provided with vertical journals 15, which are mounted to turn in a cross bar 16 and bars 17 respectively, as will now be explained.
A bracket 18 consisting of two blocks of general triangular form, is secured by means of screws 19 to bed plate 1, and the said blocks are grooved or recessed to receive the cross bars 17, and the bar 16 is secured upon the upper ends of the blocks 18 by means of screws 20, so that while the parts may be readily separated, when assembled, they constitute a single strong bracket.
The block 14 is circular in horizontal section, and bears against bearing blocks 21. These blocks 21 are preferably of Babbitt or other soft metal to take up the wear, and are adjustably supported against the inner faces of blocks 18 by means of set screws 22, suitable dowel pins 23 being provided on the blocks, and movable in openings in enlargements 24 at opposite sides of blocks 18 so as to prevent turning movement or vertical movement of the bearing blocks 21.
25 represents a guide for a reciprocating block 26, which is connected by a link 27 with the shorter end of lever 11, and is connected by a link 28 with a crank pin 29 on the crank disk or wheel 4, and it will be noted that these links 27 and 28 are pivotally connected to block 26, the former by a vertical pin 30 and the latter by a horizontal pin 31.
The ends of lever 11, which are pivotally connected to block 9 and link 27 respectively, are provided with yokes 32 secured to the lever and confining bearing blocks 33, to take the wear, and which may be removed and replaced when worn.
The operation is as follows: When the cross head 9 is rcciprocated, it will swing the long end of lever 11 cause the lever to oscillate, and bearing block14 to turn and also causes the lever 11 to move longitudinally slightly, to accommodate the movement of block 9, which moves in a straight line. The shorter end of the lever 11 causes link 27, block 26, and link 28 to reciprocate, and transmits to shaft 3 rotary motion,'and from this shaft 3 power is taken off from the pulley 5, or in any other suitable manner.
I of course, do not limit myself to the exact proportions illustrated, nor to the precise details set forth, but consider myself at liberty to make such changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of the claims.
Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In amechanism for transmitting power, the combination with a crank-shaft, of a bracket, a block mounted to turn horizontally in the bracket and having an opening therethrough, a lever mounted in the opening in the block, an engine, a cross head reciprocated by the engine, and connected to one end of said lever, a reciprocating block, a link connecting the other end of said lever with the block, and a link connecting the block with the crank-shaft, substantially as described.
2. In a mechanism of the character described, the combination with a bed plate, bearings on the bed plate, and a crank-shaft in said bearings, of a bracket secured on the bed plate, bearing blocks supported by the bracket, a block mounted to turn in the bracket against the bearing blocks, and having an opening therein, a lever in said opening, an engine, a reciprocating cross head connected to one end of the lever, and devices connecting the other end of said lever with the crank-shaft.
In a mechanism of the character described, the combination with a bed plate, bearings on the bed plate, and a crank-shaft in said bearings, of a bracket secured on the bed plate, bearing blocks supported by the bracket, a block mounted to turn in the bracket against the bearing blocks, and having an opening therein, a lever in said opening, an engine, a reciprocating cross head connected to one end of the lever, a recioro eating block, a link connecting the reciprocating block with the lever, and a second link connecting the said reciprocating block With the crank-shaft, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
