WAVE-Moron. i
Specification. of Letters Patent.
` Patented May 29, 190e.
Application filed September 21, 1905. Serial No. 279.528.
Be it known that I, DANIEL H. MowEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Myersville, in the county of Frederick and State of Marylal'id, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Wave-Motors, of which the following isa specification.
My invention1 is in the nature of a wavemotor design d to be operated by tle action of the waves or tide; and it consists in the novel construction and arrangement of parts in which a weight is raised by the action of a float as a source of power and in which a novel combination of gears is arranged to transform the movements of tite fioat into a continuous rotary motion for any useful purpose, as hereinafter fully described with reference to the drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of the motor with the float immersed in and actuated by the waves. F 2 is a top plan view. Fig, 3 is a sectional view through Athe transforming mechanism, taken on line 3 3 of Fig. 2; and
les. 4 and are adjacent face views of the two adjacent and cooperating parts D and E.
In the drawings, Fig. 1, A A A2 represent an upright framework erected upon the side of a dock, the side of a river-bank, or the side of a ship.
F is a float immersed in the waves.
Wis the main'actuating-weight, 'which is intermittently wound'up and allowed to run down to actuate the runningl parts of the motor, and W is a supplemental weight which cooperates with the lioat F, as hereinafter described.
On top of the upright framework in Itransverse position (see Figs. 1, l?, 8) is journaled in lbearings a main shaft B. On this shaftare two loose oscillating drums D and G, and'between them is a ratchet-wheel E, engaged by a detent P, which compels this ratchet-wheel to have always a forward movement in one di riection, which detent is mounted on the fiamework.
The drum D is formed integrally with sleeve bearing a ratchet-wheel d, (see Figs. 3
and 4,) and theratchet-wheel E is forined integrally with a sleeve e?, Figs. 3 and 5, which turns inside the sleeve of drum D, and
on the opposite face of the ratchet-wheel is rigidly fixed a concentric bevel gear-wheel e3. On the face of the rzltchet-wheel E adja-y cent to ratchet-wheel d are two pawlse e,
held .by springs e e to engagement!with the i axes and also about the shaft B rotate the 11o dotted lines in Fig'. 5.
The drum G has two housed bevel gearwheels g g, arranged on radial axes, the hub G of this drum turning loosely on the shaft B. The bevel-gears g 'g in this drum'engage on one side with the concentric bevel-gear e of the ratchet-wheel E, and on the opposite side of the bevel-gears g g engage a concentric bevel-gear c, formed on the end of a sleeve c?, which is rigidly attached to the main gearwheel C, which is rigid on shaft B. This gearwheel C transmits a continuous rotary motion through the train of gears C C2 C3 C4 C5 to a centrifugal governor H, whose balls in rising force down a friction-disk h into frictional engagement with a subjacent stationa friction-governor to regulate the speed.
The float F is connected to a rope or other flexible connection f, which passes around a pulley]2 at the top of the framework and is wound up'on the drum D. The weight 1l 7 lis connected to rope w, which is wound upon the drum D, but inY reverse direction to rope so that as the float F falls the .weight WV rise of iioat F the slack in rope f is taken up and wound upon the drum D. Themain weight Wis connected to a rope s w, which passes around a pulley wat tie top ofthe lframework, and is thence extended to and wound upon the drum G in the samel direc- 4xtion that rope w is wound upon the drum D- i. e., the strain of weight W tends to turn the gear-wheel C in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 1 and furnishes the effective power for th motor, which is intermittently stored up by the alternate' rise and fall of float F and 'weight 11V through the intervening `transforming Vbr powerconverting mechanism, composed of the two drums, the two ratchetwheels with pawls, and the bevel-gears;`
That the above action may be understood let it be assumed that theiioat F is falling and weight W is rising. This turns the of the arrow in F i0. 4. Ratchet-wheel d lcatching' against pawtis e eof the large ratchetwheel E turns it in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 5. Ratchet-wheel E being rigid with bevel-gear e3, Fig. 3, turns the two housed bevel-gears g gin drum G, and these two bevel-gears turning both on their individual smaller adjacent ratchet-wheel d, as seen in ary plate h', as shown by dotted lines, to form is wound up and aswveight W falls from the drum D and ratchet-wheel (l in the direction .drum G and engaging with the bevel-gear c on sleeve c they travel around the saine, windinglr up the rope lwand raising the main weight lV. i
y Il' now we consider the float F as rising and weight il as falling, the reverse action takes place to a certain extent-ri. e., the weight YV turns drum D backward in reverse direction to the arrow in Fig. 4 and the ratchet d passes t're fly under the pawls e e of the large i'atchet-wliecl E, producing no etl'ect there on, as'the latter is held against backward inotion by the stationary detent P. While this is taking?r place, however, the weight W, which hasbeen raised, now moving downward turns the dru'in G, andwitli it the wheel C, in the direction of the ari-ow in Fig.- l, but with this effect that the wheel C travels twice as tast as the druin G, owingr to the tact that as the di'uin G turns it gives to the sleeve czand wheel ("not only the revolution of the drum G, but the augmented revolution duo to thev bevel-gearsg q traveling over the now stationar \Y bevel-gear e on one side and advancinnr the bevel-gear c on the opposite side with a. compound etlect. The power of this inotoi' mawvv be taken otl` from any of the several wheels t C'l (j3 or their shafts at the varying `speeds ol these gears to Vsuit any application of power that may be desired.
It will be understood that the float- F and the actuating-weight W need no"J be close together; but the support Jfor the pulley ff may be so rt'inoved as yto have the motor at a l "coi-df wound on said second drum for receiv ing the stored-up power and means for converting the gravitating movements of the maiii'weight into continuous rotation.
consideral'ile distancet'rom the water, if desired.
Havingr thus described my invention, what .l claim as new, and desire to secure by Letv tci's Patent, is-

A wave and tide motor, comprising a oscillating-drum receivin the same, means for transferring the oseil ations of the firstnamed drum to the second oscillating drum, means for converting the oscillations of the second drinn into continuous rotary HIO'GOD, and a governor for'fre ulating the speed,
