Specification fanning part of Letters Patent No. 44.3119, dated September-'20, 1864;

concern:

,A; E. KLIHE, of Goodville, in the countyof Laucasterand State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful and vice --versa;

a full, clear, andexact description thereof,

part of this specification, in which-' I Figure 1 is awiew of the device parallel with the planes of rotary motion. Fig. 2. is a Similar letters of reference indicate corre- This invention relates to that kind of do vice-forconverting rotary into. reciprocating motion, and vice versa, which is composed, principally, of a rotating disk or plate, containing two straight slots crossing its center airtight angles to each other, and a reciprocating rod'or pitman furnished with two pins whereby the necessity for sliding boxes in the andlthe' movement of the pins is rendered b and b are the slots, crossing one another at right angles in the center of the to them by bolts f f. U is the reciprocating rod or pitm-an, and d and d are the two pins and h The portions of these pins which are received in the slots are cylindrical and of a diameter to work freely in the slots. The distance between the centers of the said pins is equal to the intended length of stroke of the rod, and the length of the. slots b cis equal to at least twice'the intended length of stroke of the rod with the diameter of one of the I To the rear end oi each of the pins w and .d, behind the disk or plate A, there are rigidly attached two similar wiper-like metal plates, 0 and-e, which may be termed guard;

The form of the plates, one to each pin. I said plates is such (represented in Fig. 3) that in the revolutionof the disk and reciprocating movement of the rod or pitman each of the said plates will pass between the two opposite arms, a a, of the disk, while its respective pin is passing the crossingot the slots 12 and b, thereby'preventing the pins from getting into the wrong slot, and caus- 'ing each 'to work properly in its respective slot.v This actionis illustrated in Fig. 3

where the disk or plate A is represented as:

I rotating in the direction of the arrow 4 and the rod or pitman 0 swinging to the right. The pin (1, moving in the slot 1), is just about to cross the slot b and the plate 6 has arrived in contact with vthe arm a of the yoke A, and is about to arrive in contact with the arm a and it will remainin contaetwithboth of these arms until the pin. (1 has crossed the slot b, thereby preventing the pin from entering the slot b As the rotation proceeds and the pin (1*, working in the slot 6 is about to cross the slot b, the plate c comes between the arms a a in a similar manner and prevents the said pin from entering. 'A similar action takes place whether the device is used for converting rotary into reciprocating orrcciprocatinginto rotary motion, and the rotary motion may be in either direction.

* I am aware that it is common in machines;

of this class to employ elongated guides, working'in the intersecting slots, to confine eachpin to its proper slot. I

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, i's-- The guard e e, applied to the pins 11 d, and

operating in combination with the arms a a of the yoke attached to the disk or plate A, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.
