JOHN F. ROSEBERRY, OF BURLINGTON JUNCTION, MISSOURI.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 392,290| dated November 6, 1888.

Application filed June 19,1888. Serial No. 277.599. (No model.)

I citizen of the United States, residing at BurlingtonrJunction, in the county of Nodaway andState of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Motors, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in motors for operating pumps, churns,.and other machinery; and it consists in the peculiar construction and combination of devices, that will be more fully set forth hereinafter, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of a motor embodying my improvements. Fig. 2 is a similar view of the opposite side of the same. Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse sectional View taken on the line :v :v of Fig. l. Fig. 4 is a top plan view of the clock-Work mechanism of my improved motor.

A represent a frame-work or scaffolding of suitable height, which is provided at one end with a tower, B, in the upper end of which is journaled a sheave, C.

D represents a shaft, which is journaled in suitable bearings in the frame, has a large spurwheel, E, which is rigid with the shaft, and has a drum, F, which is loose on 'the said shaft, and is connected to the wheel E by means of a pawl-and-ratchet mechanism,G, whereby said drum is adapted to rotate in one direction independently of the shaft. One end of the said shaft projects beyond its bearing and is squared, and thereby adapted to be rotated by the mechanism to behereinafter described. A cord or rope, H, is secured to the drum, passes over the sheave C, and to the pendent end of said cord or rope is secured a weight, I, of suitable gravity.

K represents ashaft,which is provided with the pinion L, that meshes with the wheel E, and has also a spur-wheel, M, which meshes with a pinion, N, on a counter-shaft, O. Secured to the projecting end of said counter-shaft is an escapement-wheel, l?, which is engaged by an anchor, R, that is pivoted on the spindle S and is adapted to move laterally thereon, so that it may be disengaged from, the escape ment-wheel. The said anchor is provided with 5o the usual vibrating rod, T.

U represents a pendulumrod, which is engaged by the lower end ofthe rodT, and from the pendulum-rod is suspended a bob, V.

YV represents a lever, which is pivoted on a suitable support and has its shorter end bifurcated and engaging opposite sides of the anchor, the function of the said lever being to move the anchor laterally into or out of engagement with the' escapementwheel. A spring, X, bears against the inner side of the said lever, near the longer end thereof, the function of the said spring being to normally retain the lever in position with the anchor engaging the escapement-Wheel. A cord, Y, is attached to the free end of the said lever, passes through a suitable guide and depends to within easy reach of the operator, the function of this cord being to trip the lever W, so as to cause the latter to move the anchor out of Vengagement with the escapementwheel.

Z represents a shaft,which is provided with a pinion, A', that engages the Wheel M, and has at its opposite end a spur-wheel, B,which engages a pinion, O', on a shaft, D. The latter has its outer portion j ournaled in a lever, E', from 'which extends a rod, F, the outer end of said rod being guided in a suitable keeper, Gr.

H represents a coiled extensile spring,which is arranged on the rod F and bears against the keeper and the lever, the function of the said spring being to so move the lever as to cause it to keep the pinion C normally in engagement withv the wheel B. Secured to the outer end of the shaft D is a crank-wheel, I.

A guide, K', is arranged at a suitable distance below the crank-wheel, and a rod, L', is directed by the said guide and has its upper end pivotally connected to the crank-wheel,

whereby,when the latter is rotated by the motor, the said rod will be caused to reciprocate, as will be readily understood, and is adapted for the attachment of the plunger-rod of a churn or pump.

When the escapement is engaged by the anchor, the pendulum is caused to vibrate and serves to cause the motor to run at a slow rate of speed; but when the lever V is turned, so as to move the anchorout of engagement with IOL the escapement-wheel, the pendulum is no longer vibrated, and the motor is adapted to operate at a greatly-increased rate of speed, as will be readily understood.

Connected to the lever Eis a cord, M', which .is guided on a suitable sheave or pulley, and is adapted to move the lever E' against the tension of the spring H', so as to cause the pinion C' to be disconnected from the wheel B', and consequently throw the 1naehine,wl1ieh is operated by the motor, out of gear.

I will now proceed to describe the mechanism by means of which the drum may be r0- tated independently of the gearing and motor, so asto wind up the oord or rope H and raise the wei ght.

N' represents a shaft, which is journaled in suitable bearings, is movable longitudinally therein, has a drum, O', and has its inner end provided with a squared socket, P', which is adapted to receive the squared end of the shaft l).

It' represents a lever which engages the shaft N', and is adapted to move the same longitudinallyin its bearings, so as to throw itinto or out of engagement with the shaft D, and to the said lever is connected a hand-lever, S', which is retained in any desired position by means of a rack, T'.

U represents a counter-shaft, which is provided wiih a pinion, V', that meshes with the wheel N2, and the said shaft has a crank, W', by means of which it may be rotated so as t0 impart rotary motion to theshaft N', and consequently operate the shaft D, with the result before stated.

Secured to the drum 0' is a rope or cord, X', which passes over a guiding-sheave, Y', and to the pendent end of the said rope is attached a weight, Z. 'lhe function of this weight is to assist the operator in rotating the shaft N' when the weight I is being elevated. Having thus described my invention, I claimy 1. The combination, in a motor, of the wheel B', the lever E', the shaft D', having one of its bearings in said lever, for the purpose set forth, the pinion C' on said shaft adapted to engage the wheel B', the crank-wheel also secured to said shaft, and the pitinan attached to said crank-wheel, substantially as described.

2. The combination, in a motor, of the wheel B', the lever F', the shaft D', having one of its bearings in the said lever, the wheel I', the

pinion C', the spring bearing against the said t lever to keep the pinion normally in engagement with the wheel B', and the operatingcord attached to said lever, substantially as described.

3. The combination, in a motor, of the eseapement-wheel, the pallet movable laterally on its bearing, the pendulum connected thereto, the lever to move the pallet into and out of engagement with the escapement-wheel, and the spring X, bearing on the lever and keeping the pallet normally in engagement with the escapementwheel, substantially` as de scribed.

4. rIhe combination, in a motor, of the winding-shaft D, the longitudinelly-movable shaft N', adapted to engage said winding-shaft and having the drum, the lever arm R', attached to the shaft N', the hand-lever S', connected to the lever-arm, the rack 'I" to engage and re tain the banddever, the counter-shaft having the crank and geared to shaft N', the cord attached to the drum, and the weight suspended from the cord, substantially as described. 5. The combination, in a motor, ofthe winding-shaft D, the longitndinelly-.movable shaft N', adapted to engage said winding-shaft and having the drum, the counter-shaft having the crank and geared to the shaft N', the cord attached tothe drum, and thc weight suspended from the cord, substantially as described.

In testimony that I elai In the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JOHN F. ROSEBERRY.
