NITED STATES PATENT EETcE.
CHARLES DANCKER, OF HOBOKEN, NEW JERSEY.
IMPROVEMENT IN PROPELLING BOATS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No.1123,383, dated February 6, 1872.
Specication describing an Improvement I cause them to gradually drop from-a horizon in Propeller for Canal-Boats, invented by CHARLES DANCKER, of Hoboken, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey.
Figure l represents a horizontal section of a canal-boat piovided with my improved propeller. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section oi' the same. Fig. 3 is a horizontal section of a modification of the same. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal vertical section of said modification.
Similar letters of reference indicate correspondin g parts.
The invention will be first fully described, and then clearly pointed out in the claim.
In Figs. l and 2, A represents the stern porf tion of a canal-boat. In it is hung a transverse crank-shaft, B, tto which oscillating motion is imparted by means of steam or other power. 'lhe cranks a a ofthe shaft B are connected to the front ends of rods b b that extend backward through the stern of the boat, where they are packed water-tight. The motions ofthe rock-shaft B serve to move the rods b b back and forth. To the outer end of each rod b, behind the stern of the vessel, is pivoted a metallic or wooden blade, C, of suitable width and length7 the pivot-pin el being rigidly attached to the rod b. To said pin is also secured a metal or wooden plate, D, which has its ends guided in grooves or tracks e e provided in hackwardly-projecting frames E of the boat. The said frames also hold a transverse pin or friction-roller, j', upon which the blade C rests, as shown. As the rods move outwardly they push the blades C back, and
tal into a vertical position by bringing its pivot gradually nearer to the supporting-pin f. The plate D, however, always remains in a horizontal position'. The blade crowds the lnore against the water the more it is brought into a vertical position, the covering-plate D preventing the water from escaping over the top. ln moving forward the rod b draws the blade gradually into a horizontal position and prevents it from hindering an advance of the boat. F is the rudder, hung in cross-pieces g gthat connect with the projecting frame E. 011e or more rods, b, blades C, and plates D maybe applied to one boat. The space inclosed by the frames E may be closed on top il' desired.
A modification of the invention is shownin Figs. 3 and 4, in which the blade C is drawn into a pocket, G, that is formed in the stern of the boat, the projecting frames E being dispensed with. In this case tw'o rudders, H H, are preferably used near the sides of the boat, as shown.
Having thus described my invention, l claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination of the paddles C C, slider D D, pivot-pins d d, rods I) b, and crank-shaft B a a, as and for the purpose described.
CHARLES DANCKER.
