Description: |
| Abstract:
The horse or horses that are to actuate the machine are made to draw upon sweeps, or levers projecting out from a main driving wheel placed horizontally and turning on a center on the frame work of the machine, as in many other horse powers. This main driving wheel has teeth on its inner edge, and these teeth gear into pinions )laced on the upper ends of two vertical shafts, standing diametrically opposite to each other, and directly above the horizon- al line shaft by which the power is to be communicated from the horse power to any, machine that is to be driven by its means. On the lower ends of the two vertical ;hafts, there are two bevel wheels, which gear into two bevel pinions on the line ;haft; the stress upon the main driving wheel is consequently equalized by the lower being communicated from it on its opposite sides, and this power is communicated to the line shaft also, at two joints distant from each other, this distance being nearly equal to the diameter of the main driving wheel. The vertical shaft that is nearest the fore end of the line shaft has its step on a bridge above the said shaft, this being necessary in order to allow the shaft to pass along under it.
Claim:
The special arrangement and combination of the gearing as herein set forth, said gearing consisting of the single large wheel A driving two pinions C C on the shafts of the two horizontal wheels E which horizontal wheels gear into two pinions J J on the line shaft, there being a bridge G to admit of the passage of the line shaft. |
