MECHANICAL MOVEMENT.
APPLIGATION FILED JULY 28, 1013. 1,1 16,243. Patented Nov. 3, 1914.
THE NORRIS PETERS C0. PHD'I'O-LITh-l. WASHINGTON, D. (Y.
' UNITEDI STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOHN G. CLEMENS, 0F BUFFALO, NEW YORK.
MECHANICAL MOVEMENT.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN G. CLEMENS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mechanical Movements, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a mechanical movement and it has for its object the provision of a mechanism whereby a rotating member, after giving the same initial rotary motion manually or otherwise, may be continued in action by displacing its axis, preferably by comparatively short reciprocating or oscillating movements imparted to a part associated therewith.
Another object of my invention is the production of a mechanical movement whereby areciprocatingor oscillating movement may be converted into a rotary movement of increased power.
My invention consists in an oscillating supporting member, and a weighted arm or arms carried thereby adapted to be continued in rotary action by displacing its axis at certain-times during its rotating movements.
It further consists in the peculiar construction, arrangement, and combination of parts to be hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the subjoined claims.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved mechanical movement illustrated in a representative form. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same showing the course and range of the movement of the operating parts. Fig. 3 is a vertical section taken on line 3-3, Fig. 2.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, the reference numeral 4 designates a suitable support or standard which may in some cases be secured to a base 5, such as shown, the upper end of thestandard having two spaced arms 6 in which are located adjustable bearings 7 provided at their inner ends with conical depressions 8 to receive the conical ends of a spindle 9. Said spindle is secured to an actuating lever 10 near one end thereof, and in said end is rotatably mounted a shaft 11 arranged parallel with the spindle 9. Formed with said shaft, or otherwise carried thereby, are two normally Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed July 28, 1913. Serial No. 781,538.
Patented N ov. 3, 1914.
depending arms 12, to the lower or free ends of which weights 13 are secured.
The actuating lever 10 serves as a supporting member for said weighted arms, and the end of the same opposite that in which the shaft ll-isrotatably mounted is a handle 14 whereby the lever may be given slight oscillating movements, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 2. The weighted arms 12 are adapted to be swung in a circle with the shaft 11 as its axis, as shown in dotted lines 15, Fig. 2. Said actuating lever may be oscillated manually or electrically, or mechanical means may be employed to cause the same to oscillate within the range of movement shownin F ig.2. The weighted arms 12 are swung in the direction of the arrows 16 shown in Fig. 2, and in order to operate the mechanism it is necessary to give these arms initial rotating movement, which may be done manually or otherwise, and immediately these arms are swung in a circle and approach the highest point of the circle, a quick upward movement of the actuating lever from the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2 to that shown in full lines will change the position of the axis of said arms and assist them in passing over the highest point of the circle and as the arms approach a diametrically opposite point, the actuating lever is moved from the position shown in full lines to that shown in dotted lines, the weighted arms swinging downwardly by gravity and being assisted in their upward movement on the,
opposite side of the circle by the last-mentioned movement of said lever when said actuating lever is again quickly raised. The continuity of the movement of the swinging arms therefore depends upon the proper oscillation of the actuating lever. In this manner slight oscillation or reciprocation of the free end of the actuating lever requiring but little effort are converted into rotating movement of the shaft 11 from which power may be derived in any suitable manner. It is apparent, however, that any other means of displacing the axis of the weighted arms may be employed without departing from the spirit of my invention, such displacing of said axis at the proper-moment in the rotation of the arm assuring a continuous rotating movement of said arms.
As my invention relates to a mechanical movement, I do not deem it necessary to disclose any application of the device, and may 7 point'and for any desired purpose.
By reason of the arms secured to shaft 1 1 being weighted and of considerable length, great leverage and power is obtained. This movement maybe used for various purposes and as the principle involved may be ems ployed in various ways, I do not wish to confine myself to the construction herein shown and described.
Having thus described my invention, what I claimis, 1
1. A mechanical movement comprising a weighted member rotatably mounted to swing in a circle or approximately so, and means to change the axis of rotation to as: sist said member in overcoming the natural resistance to its continuous rotating movement.
2. A mechanical movement comprising a supported lever and a weighted arm car ried thereby, said lever being adapted to be oscillated and cause said arm to swing con; tinuously 'in a circular path or approximately so.
3. A mechanical movement comprising a pivotally supported lever and a weighted ect having its axis coincident with that of; the spindle (Z, and from this point power or a motion may be transmitted to any desired in presence of two arm adapted to swing in a circle and having its. axis of rotation passing through said lever to one side of the axis of said lever.
4. A mechanical movement comprising a lever PlVObilllY supported near one end and .aweighted arm journaled at said end and adapted to swing in a circle, said lever serving to g ve sa1d arm impetus in passing over the dead center upon being oscillated.
" 5. The combination of a support, a lever pivotally supported near one end by said support, a shaft rotatable in said end of the lever, and an arm having a weight and bemg fixed to sa1d shaft, sa1d arm bemg adapted toswing in'a circle and said lever being" adapted to be oscillated during each rotation of said arm. I
6. A mechanical movement comprising a lever pivotally supported and adapted to be oscillated, a shaft journaled on said lever at one end thereof, and weighted arms carried by said shaft.
7 A mechanical movement comprising an elongated member rotatably mounted to swing in a circle or approximately so, and 7 means for displacing the aXis'of said member during each rotating movement.
