SPECIFICATION forming part of LettersPatent No. 402,548, dated April 30, 1889.
Application filed March 28, 1388. Serial No. 268,217. (ModeL) Improvements in Spring-Motors; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, refer- I once being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
The object of this invention is to obtain i11- creased power by a combination of a series of springs with suitable mechanisms at a re-' duced cost of construction, and is an improvement upon the mechanism heretofore described in an applicationfor Letters Patent made by me and filed August 17, 1887.
The invention consists in the arrangements and combinations of parts, substantially as will be hereinafter set forth, and finally embodied in the clauses of the claim.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, in which like letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each of the several figures, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a portion of the improved motor, the balance-wheel, with its gear-connections, being removed. Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the improved motor complete. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of a portion of the balance-wheel with its gear-connections. Fig. 3 is an elevation of one pair of the motorsprings. Fig. 4 is an end view of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is an elevation of an auxiliary wheel with its gear-connection. Fig. 6 is a top plan view of the motor frame and gearing, the springs being omitted. V
In said drawings, D indicates the frame or bed,of a machine.
B is the main or driving shaft, having pinion 25, into which meshes gear-wheel h h, h, h h, h and h are a series of gearwheels on spring-carrying shafts n, and each meshing into the one adjoining. Thus it meshes into h, h into 71 ,71, into h, and h into h and h into h. By this arrangement the power of the gear-wheels h h 71, 704 72. is all transmitted to and concentrated in gear-wheel 7L2, which alone transmits the concentrated power to the main driving-shaft, the power of 71 being transmitted to h, which transfers it, together with its own power, to 71 while 7L5 transfers its power to 7L which transfe'rs it,
together with its own power, to 71 which, in
its turn, transfers this concentrated power of h and If, which it has received, as well as its own power, to 71 a is a gear-wheel on the rear of a drivingshaft, B, and meshing into pinion b on shaft 0, on which shaft is gear-wheel (Z, which meshes into pinion e on fly-wheel shaft f. On the outside of the frame and, on driving-shaft B is a gear-wheehg. (Shown in Fig. 2.) This gearwheel meshes into a pinion, 2', on balancewheel shaft k, carrying balance-wheel m. This balance-wheel shaft is supported at its outer end in proper journal bearings in frame a.
On the rear of the frame D is an auxiliary frame, 0, Fig. 5, in which is journaled a shaft, 19, carrying gear-wheelq, imparting its motion and power to pinion r on the rear of drivingshaft B,
. On shaft f is a fiy-wheel, s, and against its outer periphery is brought to bear the brake it. This brake consists of a metallic shoe or brake, Lt, adapted to bear upon the surface of the fiy-wheel s, and is supported by a lever, 42, having its opposite end forked so as to partially enfold the hollow rod 1, which carries the governor 2. This lever 'v is pivoted to an arched support, 10, secured to frame D, as seen in Fig. 1. Opposite to the brake u and arranged to bear upon the opposite side of the fly-wheel s is a shoe, 8,Fig. 1. This shoe is attached to a thumb-screw, 1,.working in a threadedsocket in cross-bar 5, secured to the frame D.
On each of the spring-shafts 'n are secured double springs 6 6, separated by a loose partition, 7, one end of each of said springs being secured to the frame D, as seen at 8, Figs. 1, 3, and at. These springs when wound up are prevented from-unwinding by the common and well known means of the pawl and ratohetwheel.
In my improved motor, the gear-wheelsbeing loose on their respective spring-carrying shafts, the same do not turn when the springs are wound up,and thus I am enabled to wind up any of the springs without stopping the machine or in any way interfering with the running of the machine. This is accomplished by securing the ratchet to the springcarrying shaft and attaching the pawl with its holding-spring to the gear-wheel, as shown in Fig. 4. This allows the gear-wheel to turn with the spring-bearing shaft when it is unwinding or transmitting power, but not to revolve with the shaft when the springs are wound up. The springs are wound up in the usual manner by a crank placed on the end of the shaft. By this arrangement of a loose gear-wheel I am enabled to wind up any of the springs without in any manner interfering with the working of the others;
It is manifest that the frame can be extended and any number of spring-bearing shafts could be employed, thereby greatly increasing the power of the machine.
011 the shaft 13 is placed gear-wheel q, as seen in Fig. 5, and is loose on the shaft. This shaft also carries and has secured to it one end of a spring, 9, the other end of the spring being secured to a lug, 10, on frame 0. This gear-wheel works in the same manner on its shaft as gear-wheels 71, &c., already described. The said gear-wheel q meshes with a pinion, 7', on the rear of the main shaft, and its revolution aids and assists the various motive springs while unwinding or while one of the series is being wound up while themachine is in motion. When winding up the machine the shoe is screwed up against the fly-wheel, so as to prevent any of the wheels from revolvin g when one or more of the series of motive springs may be wound up according to the amount of power required.
To start the machine, the shoe 3 is gradually released from contact with the fiy-wheel by means of the thumbscrew, the action of the spring (or springs) that are wound up causes all the wheels to revolve, and the degree of speed is regulated by the regulator, the brake being caused to impinge upon the fly-wheel to a greater or less degree, according as the lever o is raised or lowered by the regulator, as will be understood. The frame D can be secured to feet, if desired.
Having thus described theinvention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In a spring-motor, the combination, with the main frame and driving shaft of the machine, of a supplemental frame, 0, shaft 1), jo'urnaled in said frame 0, spring 9, auxiliary gear-wheel q, independent of but connected with the spring driving mechanism, and pinion 7', connecting said auxiliary gear-wheel with the driving-shaft of the machine, substantially as shown, and for the purposes set forth.
2. In a spring-motor, an auxiliary spring driving mechanism consisting of a supplemental frame, 0, shaft 1), journaled in said frame 0, spring 9, auxiliary gear-wheel q, independent of but connected with the spring driving mechanism, and pinion r, connecting said auxiliary gear-wheel q with the main drivingshaft of the machine, in combination with the main spring driving mechanism consisting of a series of spring-bearing shafts, n, gear-wheel 7L2, revolving on one of said shafts n and meshing into pinion t on main shaft, a series of gear-wheels revolving on similar shafts, n, and arranged to transmit their united power to gear-wheel 71 and pawl-and-ratchet devices connecting said gear-wheelswith their respective shafts, all as shown and described, and for the purposes set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 3d day of March, 1888.
BENJAMIN TURTON.
