Serial No. 642,029.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES S. BURLING, a citizen of the Unlted States, residing at San Jose, in the county of Santa Clara and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in \Vave-Motors, of which the following is a specification.
The objects of my invention are, to provide a wave motor which will not only be operated by the impact of the incoming breakers, but will also be operated by the buoyancy of my power producing paddles upon the breakers after they pass within the compressor frame. I do not destroy the breaker by the impact, but, on the contrary, the paddles are carried therewith, and oscillate therein, by reason of their buoyancy, and in this way,. I utilized, to the fullest extent, their power creating forces.
Another object of my invention is to construct. a wave motor which can not only be adjusted to tide, but can also be adjusted to the angle of the approach of the breakers upon the beach, and by the same means whereby I adjust it to the tide, I can readily remove it beyond the point of impact with the waves in the case of a storm, it l so desire.
I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings,
in which- Figure l, is a plan view. Fig. 2. is a view of one side of the compressor frame and truck upon the. track. Fig. 3, is a view of the truck of the compressor frame from the opposite side of Fig. 2. Fig. i, is a detail plan of the base plates of the compress r frame and truck, showing a position of ruljustment. Fig. 5, is a rear view of the lever ratchet for adjusting the com- Fig. 6, is a side elevation of Fig. 5. Fig. 7, is a vertical section ot one of the compressors, and shows a power paddle at the utmost point of compression. Fig. 8, is a detail section of one of the power paddles. Fig. 9, is a detail showing the delineator pipe and the auxiliary hose con: nection.
Similar figures refer to similar. parts throughout the several views.
An inclined beach is best adapted for the construction of my wave motor, and on this beach I. construct a trackway of rails 1', upon a suitable foundation. 2. The rails extend from a point within the water below the point of low tide, upward upon the beach to a point thereon a distance beyond the point reached at high tide. A pulley wheel, 3. is attached to the lower end of each rail, in proper bearings, so that the cables, &, will pass over and under the rail. These cables, 4, follow thetrack upward and pass around wheels, 5, the outer end of shafts. S and S. Said shafts extend inward on a. line with each other, and have hearings on foundation, 9., as shown at 9, Fig. 1. The lower ends of the cables, 4, after passing around the wheels, 23, at the lowerends of the rails, are attached to the truck of the compressor frame, as shown at (3, Figs. 1. and The opposite ends of cables, 4, after passing around wheels, 5, are returned downward over rails 1, and are attached to the upper portion of the truck of the compressor frame, as shown at 7, Figs. 1 and The truck of the compressor frame provided with wheels 10 and 10, and is movable upward or downward on rails 1.. Wheels 10 have their bearings in an extension I) underneath connecting plate 1;). as shown at Fig. 3. The bearings 12, of wheels 10-, are like in form to bearings of wheel 10, but wheels 10, as shown at Fig. 2. are not provided with an extension plate.
The compressor frame carries the power developing meansof the wave motor, and is :uljustablc on'said truck to the angle of the approaching breakers, as is shown in detail in Fig. -t. It is provided with a base plate it on either side thereof. ()n the side where wheels 10 are placed, said base plate is pivoted at its center to necting plate 13, as shown at 1:"). Figs. 3 and -t. I provide sliding bearings l6. on either side of pivot 15, to distribute the weight ot the compressor frame on the truck, and to distribute the friction occasioned in adjusting the compressor frame. On this side of the compressor frame, and at each end ot the connecting plate 13, is attached the swivel connection 17, of cable 4. The upthe center of con perwheel 10', is connected at the upper end ot truclr frame 12 to av plate 18, by pivot 19,
to which swivel connection 17, of cable 4-, attached; in the opposite end of plate 18 9 an upright pivot rod 20, is connected, which rod passes through and has hearings in base plate 14: and upper plate 21 ot the compressor frame. vided at the lower end of the compressor frame on this side, as shown at Fig. (Jruides are attached on the inner side of the shaitt of the truckwhcels, ward, with an offset bearing against the under side of the rail, as shown at 23, Figs.
Q' and 3, to prevent the truck from leaving the track.
In addition to the parts of the compressor frame, hereinhctore described, the following parts are included in said frame: At each corner thereof, attach ed at the lower end to an end of base plate 1% is an upright stanchion 24, running upward a distance beyond upper plate 21. At the upper portion of the frame, at. each end thereof, a plate 25, connects the upright, stanchions 2%. These plates and stanchions are rigidly connected at their several points of contact .by bolts. l or every compressor used, i provide two plate.
26, running parallel with plates 21, and bolted at their ends to plates 2?. in addition to the functions herein described, plates 26 act as braces, giving strength and. rigidity to the compressor frame. The power paddles 27 are constructed ot a curved casing 28, Fig. 8, at the side thereof facing the breakers. This casing is of metal to impart strength, and curved because the break- .ti like construction proextending downers roll toward the beach and break downward. The opposite side of the paddle is padded with. any light material, such as cork, air inflated bags, or the like, as shown. at 29, Fig". 8, to give it the s'utlicient buoy= ancy to be lifted by, and to ride upon the surface of the breakers after the paddles are swept from their upright position. .The arms 30, of the' paddles, are connected to the paddle by bolts, as shown at 81, 'lt ig. 8. 'lhese arms extend upward, and each arm attached at its upper end to a shaft running betweeh two of the plates 26,1vith bearings therein, as shown at Fig. l. The triangular connection 34:,is connected to the die arm and paddle by bolts, as shown at 33, 8; the opposite end of said connection is attached to the upper end of the paddle arm, as shown at 35, Fig. 7. The point of the trian le of said connection extends inward, an stands at a point about on. a level with the center of the compressor frame, as shown at Fin". 2, while the motors no i. operation. n each side oi. the point oi the triangularronnection 31 a connectin 'od 36 is iulcrumed, as shown at 37, Fig. l.
ppposite ends of connecting rod oi-tuned at the sides of the cross-head 38, as
l shown at Fig. 1, which is attached to pistonrod The piston-rod 39 runs through the guide l-O, which is attached to and'extends dtnvnward from plate 41. Plates ll extend over and connect each pair of plates 26, and are bolted to the sides thereof. Cylindrical air compressors 49. are firmly attached to plate '25, as shown at Fig. 1, and extend out,- ward from the compressor trains. Each compressor has an' opening through plate 25 equal in size to the circumference of the compre; or. Each compressor is provided with a piston-rod 39, a piston-head 43, Fig. 7, anintake valve 15, and an outlet valve $6. The air passes through valve 46 from each compressor into pipe 47, and from pipe l? it passes through nozzle 48 into the jointed pipe 49, or hose pipe 52, to the storage tank 50. The jointed ipe is made in sections, connected by airt1ght adjustable joints, as shown at 51, Fig. 1, to permit the moving of the compressor frame upward or downward upon the track. I have provided an auxiliary means of carrying the compressed air from pipe 4'? to .the.tank to be used in case of leak in the jointed pipe, or instead of the jointed pipe, if desired, and for this purpose I use a hose 52, connected as shown at i'fig. 9 immediately over the jointed pipe; the stop to'the hose is shown at 58, and the stop to the jointed pipe is shown at 54:. I provide like connections and stops at the point where the air: enters tank 50. 56 and 57, Fig. 1, indicate machinery operated by compressed air passing through pipe 58 from the tank 50.
At the inner ends of shafts 8 and 8 a ratchet wheel 59 isrigidly attached, operated by forked lever 60, placed therebetween. @ne fork of said lever is loosely unted on each of said shafts, as shown at 'llo each side of lever 60, an interv cable pawl 61, is pivoted; each pawl $51 is provided with a pawl locking device, shown at 62, Fig". 6, pivoted to the side of lever 60. .Each pawl locking device is held in place'by a spiral spring 63, connected at the ends thereof to pawl 61. Attached to the foundation 2, on either side ofratchet wheels 59, are the ratchet locking p'awls G l, to prevent the turning" of shafts 8 and 8?, and the moving oil the compressor frame when properly adjusted.
The movable portion of my wave motor is operated and adjusted as follows:-'lo move the compressor frame directly up or down the beach, shafts 8 and 8 are oper ated together'by throwing the correspondpoints of the interchangeable awls 61 oengagrment with the ratchet w reels 59. ran'ie is then moved backward or sea all; 1
ry means or"- lovor .60. in adjusting the interchangeable pawl 61 into engagement with. the proper ratchet wheel 59, and operating lever 60, efiecting the adjustment by operating from one side of the frame only. In case it is necessary, or more convenient in adjusting the frame to the proper angle of the breakers, or its position on the trackway, the interchangeable pawls 61 are thrown into engagement with the ratchet wheels 59 in opposite directions. When the frame is in the position desired on rails 1, the ratchet locking pawls 64 are thrown into engagement with the ratchet wheels 59, thus locking shafts 8 and 8.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
1. A wave motor, comprising a trackway upon an inclined beach; a compressor frame adjustable on said trackway, both to the rise and fall of the tide, and the angle of the approaching breakers; a plurality of power producing paddles attached to said frame and means connected with said paddles for developing power.
