ouTBoARD MOTOR Filed Sept. 6, 1960 3 Sheets-Sheet 3 w INVENTOR. BY wf W' W WW United States Patent O M 3,054,375 OUTBOARD MOTOR Richard S. Neely, Erie, Pa., assignor to Lord Manufacturing Company, Eric, Pa., a corporation of Pennsylvania Filed Sept. 6, 1960, Ser. No. 54,251 10 Claims. (Cl. 115 12) by turning the motor.
In the drawing, FIG. 1 is an elevation of an outboard motor driven propulsion unit, FIG. 2 is a section through the pump on broken line -2-2 of FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a top plan of the pump, FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic view of the pump cavity, FIG. 5 is a plan of the impeller spider, PIG. 6 is a section on line 6--6 of FIG. 5, PIG. 7 is a fragmentary edge view of the pump impeller, v`FIG. 8 is a plan view of one of the impeller blades, and FIG. 9 is an edge view of one of the impeller blades.
In the drawing, the boat 1 has a transom 2 to which is clamped a bracket 3' having a pivot 4 for an outboard motor 5. At the lower end of the power leg 6 is a rotary pump 7 having a submerged inlet 8 and a rearwardly directed nozzle 9 through which is discharged a propulsion jet 10. For forward motion at high speeds, the jet `10 discharges directly astern 'above the surface of the water and the reaction of the jet drives the boat forward. Steering is effected by a tiller 11 which turns the motor about the pivots '4, changing the direction of the jet reaction. A defiector 12 can be lowered by linkage 12a to intercept the jet 10 and direct the stream downward to slow the forward motion of the boat. When the defiector 12 is fully lowered, the jet 10 is reversed so that it is discharged forward and the jet reaction is transmitted to the boat to reverse its direction. The tiller 1.1 is effective to steer the boat in reverse in the same manner as in forward directions.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the pump has an outer casing 13 fixed to an adapter plate 14 in turn attached to the lower end of the power leg 6. The intake 8 is fixed to the underside of the vouter pump housing and is provided with a screen 15. T-he discharge nozzle 9 is fixed to the rear side of the outer pump housing 13 and communicates with the pump cavity through passageways 16. The motor drive shaft 17 extends down through the adapter plate .14 and the top wall of the outer pump housing 13. The drive shaft may be driven directly by the motor or through a reduction gean'ng.
Inside the outer pump housing 13 are top 'and bottom inner housings 18 and 19 which define the pumping cavity. These housings may be molded of plastic. At the center of the inner housings are top and bottom bearings 20 and 21 for the shaft 17.
The pump cavity is composed of upper and lower halves which are mirror images separated by an impeller 22. As shown diagrammatically in FIG. 4, each half is composed by the volume bounded by three surfaces. The first surface is a hemisphere 23 having a base in a plane 24 normal to the plane of the paper. The second surface is a hemisphere 25 having a base in a plane 26 normal to the plane of the paper and necessan'ly coincident with the plane 24. The third surface is an obtuse cone 27 whose apex 28 lies within the smaller hemisphere 25 and is pointed toward the hemisphere base 26. The hemispheres 23 and 25 have ya common axis 29 which is coincident with the shaft 17 and perpendicular to the bases 24, 26
3,054,375 Patented Sept. 18, 1962 ICC of the hemispheres. The axis 30 of the cone 27 is inclined to the common axis of the hemispheres 23, 25. In the diagrammatic view, iFIG. 4, the bases 24, 26 of the hemispheres 23, 25 are coincident. In FIG. 2, the hemispheres 25 are displaced axially relative to the hemispheres 23 because the impeller hub 22 is thicker at the center that at the periphery.
The impeller has a metal spider shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 having a hub 31 at the center keyed to the shaft 17 and radially projecting arms 32 with slots 33.
The impeller blades shown in FIGS. 7, 8 and 9 have top and bottom inclined sections 34 vand 35 joined by a flat Vertical section 36 which mates with one of the slots 33 in the impeller Spider. Metal reinforcing members 37 may be imbedded in the top -and bottom Sections 34 and 35. All sections of the blades are of substantially constant thickness. The blades are molded in the position illustrated in FIG. 9 so that the maximum separation between the tips 38, 39 of the blades is slightly greater than the maximum spacing between the conical surfaces 27 in the cavity. The outer peripheral edge 40 of the blades has the same radius as the spehircal surface 23. The inner peripheral edge 41 of the blades has the same radius as the spherical surfaces 25. When the blades are assembled into the slots 33 in the impeller, the edges 40 and 41 of the blades have a sliding fit With the spherical surfaces 23, 25 of the pump cavity. The tips 38, 39 of the blades are inclined toward the direction of rotation indicated by arrow 42. The tips 38, 39 ride on the conical surfaces 27 of the pump cavity which vary gradu-ally in axial separation between a minimum and a maximum as indicated in FIG. 4. The greatest axial separation of the conical surfaces 27 is such that the elasticity of the rubber keeps the blades in contact with these surfaces. As the impeller is rotated, the blades are flexed in a gradual manner until reaching the point of minimum axial separation. The flexing of the blades is of a cantilever nature with the base of the cantilever located at the surface of the impeller web. 'From another aspect, the base of the cantilever corresponds substantially vto the bases of the hemispherical surfaces 23 and 25 so that in all defiected positions, the clearance between the surfaces 40 and 41 on the blades and the surfaces 23 and 25 on the pump cavity does not change. Contact between the tips 38, 39 of the blades and the conical surfaces 27 of the pump cavity is maintained in part by the elasticity of the blades but primarily by the water pressure acting over the front surfaces of the blades. The water pressure tries to spread i the blades apart thereby forcing the tips of the blades into contact with the conical surfaces 27 of the housing.
The contact between the tips of the blades and 'the housving is proportional to the water pressure which is in turn Proportional to the speed of the impeller. 'Ihe contact is best when the water pressure within the pump is highest, an ideal situation for positive displacement pumps.
As the pump impeller rotates and the blades are deflected axially, the space between adjacent pars of blades is compelled to vary from a minimum to a maximum by the conical surfaces 27. To produce a .pumping action, upper and lower inlet passages 43 are located in the end walls of the housing parts 18 and 19 in a region in which the volume between adjacent blades is ncreasing and upper and lower outlet passages 16 are located in a region in which the space between adjacent blades is decreasing. As the impeller rotates, liquid is drawn into the in- .let passages 43 -and is forced out through the outlet passages 16. Both the inlet and Outlet passages are mirror images of each other. The inlet passages to the pump- 16 are located on the spherical surfaces 23 between the conical surfaces 27 and the impeller arms 32. There are no corners on which the blades may catch.
