ANTONI BRZYKCY, 'or MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA.

To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, ANTON; BRz'yKoY, Ya citizen of the United States, residing at State of Minnesota, have invented 4 certain new and useful Improvements in Wlndf mills; and Ido herebyl declare the following to bea full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will'enable othersskilled in the art to which it appertains to make andv use theA same.
My invention relates t0 improvements in windmills; and to this end, it-consists of the .novel devices and combinations of devices hereinafter V'In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate the invention, likecharacters indicate like parts throughout the several views.
Referring to the drawings, vFigure 1 is a sidee'levation of the improved windmill lwith some parts broken faway and some parts shown in dierent po- .sitions by means of broken lines;`
line 2-2 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a detail view, horizontal section taken ,cnet-he, line 3f-3 of Fig. l, on an enlargediscale; and p Figmtis a detailview, partly in plan and partly in horizontal vsectionktaken, on the linee-1 ofFig.r1. f
The numeral 1 indicates the tower of a .windmill which, as shown, is of the usual construction and has at `its top' a turr'itable 2. Mounted on this turntable 2, is 5L head` 3 comprising upper and lower disks- 4V con-f nected bya bushing 5, which extends :axially horizontal rotary movement. r` Anti-frictionV therethrough. "The, ,lower end .of the bushing ,5 is extended axially throughtheturntable 2 and journals the head Srthereto for bearings 6 are interposed between the turntable 2 and headS. y
- The vane of the windmill is indicated by the numeral and its shankS,l as shown,
comprises :a pair lof channel bars placed back to back and rigidly connected rivets.
r The inner end of the shank 8 is inserted'behorizontal swinging movement with the vane 7. The iianges ofthe shank l8 are alsogrivff of the bushing o described and defined' in thev -right vangles thereto.
Fig. 2 is alvertical section taken on the Ispeeifcaaon of Lettersratent.' Patented Oct, 2, 1917,
.Application led November, 1916.. Serial No. 1`3 0,322. l i I i l eted to the disk 4i of *the head 3 toI more Asef curely connect thefseveral members of said head andshank.
`relatively large segmental gear 9 rests -directly on the head 8 and the upperend extends axially part lway intothe hub thereof, with freedom for rotation therein." An oscillatory tubular shaft 10 is extended through the bushing 5 and segmental gear 9 and `which gear is secured thereto, for common oscillatory movement,
bearing bracket 12, and the lower end of said shaft is journaled ina bearing'bracket i 13 rigidlysecured, althoughnot shown, to`
the tower 1. r 4
The. wind-wheel 14 may be of theusual or lany 'suitable vconstruction and its shaft 15 is journaled inthe bearing bracket 12, vdirectly above thei tubular shaft 10 and at A power shaft 16 is extended through the tubular shaft 10 and has on its upper end a" gear 17, ywhich 'mes'hes with a pinion 18 Ion the shaft 15 vofthe wind-wheel. On the lower end of the `power A'shaft 16, is'a gear 19, which ymeshes lwith .a gear 20,011 a horizontal shaft- 21,having a belt pulley 22.' v From the .above description, it Visevident '7, vand a pair of circumferen-tially'spaced pins 23,.projecting radially fromthe upper disk of the head2, are yalternately engaged by a depending pin 24 on the segmental gear 9, to limit the-swinging movement of thewind-wheel. 14 from a position in the.
that; thefwind-wheeldt isfreel to swing in horizontal. plane, Vwithwrespe'ct to the vane wind or at right angles tothe vane'7 -to a position ,out of the windf or'substantially parallel withfsaid vane.
.27 vin thelowerface'yof'the segmental gear and thereby lock'said headand gear for jcommon.- oscillatory movement. l.lllndwise movement is imparted to the lock pin `25`by 4a lever 28'intermediately fulcrumed at 29' tothe shank 8 andihasv its shortend 'pivotally connected .to thelower end ofsaidlock pin. On the long end of the lever 28,'isY a Wgearyfor oscillating said gear from one eX'- weight which holds theupperend of the lock pin 25 in direct contact with the lower face of the segmental gear 9, while ls'aid gear is moving from one eXtreme position to vthe other, and also moves Said lock pin 25 into the apertures 27.
The following connections 'are' 'provided for moving the windwheel 14 from one extreme"y position to the' other,V with" respect' to the vane 7, towitz-A countershaft 31 is journaled in a bearing bracket"32 rigidly end a pinion 33, whiclr'meshes with the seg mental gear. 9.V Onthe outer end of'the :i
countershaft 31, is asprocket wheel '34, over which runs a short length of sprocket chainsy mediate p'ortion passed over aguide v'sheavef 38j`on the countershaft 31. The lower ends Vofy thel cables 36 andv 37' are of sufficient length" tov permit'the same tofbe easily reached lby an operator standingonthe "grou'nd/ ToV move the wind-wheellll into or out oftheifwind',"the segmentalgear 9 is released frornthe head on theshank byf* drawing o n the cable 3 7 to' lift the: weight 30, and hence, the lever towithdraw the lock p in l25 Vfrein the engaged aperture f27. Then by drawing on oneof-"the cables`36, depending whetherthe wind-wheel is to` be movedinto or out of the wind, 7the segmental gear QisOSCillatedonthe head 3 through 'the several connections, previously dei ment of the wind-'wheel'letoandl` from a" 'positi'onin the wind easier.V 'The power-described. j T h f1 areso designed', as to bring "the windwheel 1 4; very "close to the axis'v'ofithe; vhead* 3', 'which f is very desirable,'in order to make the movevelopedby the wind-wheel 14 may be 'used forl various different purposes by applying abelt, not shown, tothe pulley 22.
Vhat I claim is V1. In a windmill, a`turntable, avanehaving on the inner end of its shank ahead ro" tatively mounted on ythe turntable, a gear the wind-wheel :and power shaft, means for locking the vgear 'directly to't'the head inV "either of'its eXtreme oscillated positions, and'A means, "including a pinion meshing with the bearing bracket 12, gears 17and 1S=` ing on the inner end of its shank a head rovtatively mounted on the turntable, a gear mounted on the head for oscillatorymovement, a bearing bracket secured to the gear, a "wind-wheel* journaled on the bearing bracket, a power shaft extending axially through the turntable, head and gear, driving connections'betwee'n 'the wind-wheel and powerlshaft", a weighted leverhaving a lock secured to the shank 8 and has onjits inner pin mountedinthehead and arranged to alternately "enter a pair of .circumferentially spaced apertures'I in the gear to lock'said gear to the head'in either 'of itsextrenie os- 'cillated' positions, means for actuating -said 'lever'to 'release its locl "pin,'and means, in-
i cluding a pinionm'e'shing' with the gear, forV oscillating said gear fromv one eXtremepositiont'o the other.
