UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE
WILLIAM CHILTON, OF IIEMPSTEAD. TEXAS.
MOTOR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 305,792. dated September 30, 1884.
Application filed July i8, 1884. (No model.)To all whom, it m?,ay concerw:f
Be it known that 1, Wr. CHILTON, a citizen
of the United States, residing at Hempstead,
in the county of Waller and State of Texas,
5 have invented a new and useful Improvement
in Motors, of which the following is a specifi-
cation, reference being had to the accompany-
ing drawings.
My invention relates to motors designed to
io be driven by hand-power, horse-power, steam
or other power, for use in the kitchen, dairy,
farm - workshop, or other place, to operate
churns, washing-machines, sewing-machines,
circular and scroll saws, corn-shellers and
15 mills, grindstones and emery-wheels, coffee
and spice mills-in fact, any and all machines
where light power is required; and it has for
its object to provide a motor of the class re-
ferred to that shall possess superior advantages
20 in point of simplicity, cheapness, durability,
and general efficiency; and to these ends my
invention consists in the construction and
novel arrangement of parts, as will be herein-
after fully described, and particularly pointed
25 out in the claims.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a view in per-
spective of my improved motor applied to a
churn, a circular saw, and a coffee-mill; and
Fig. 2 is a view in perspective of a modifica-
30 tion of the motor, wherein band-wheels are
used in lieu of cog-gears shown in Fig. 1.
Referring by letter to the accompanying
drawings, A designates the frame of the ma-
chine, which may be made of either wood or
35 iron. This frame A is rectangular in form,
and is suitably braced to give it the necessary
strength, and it may be of any desired dimen-
sions, said dimensions being regulated by the
uses to which the motor is to be put, and in ac-
40 cordance with the power required. The driv-
ing-shaft B is journaled in boxes C C on the side
rails, DD,oftheframeA. Thedriving-wheelE
is secured to the middle of the driving-shaft B,
and a crank, F, is provided at one end of said
45 shaftB, and a band-wheel, G, at the other end
Thereof, its ends projecting through the boxes
C C and beyond the side rails, D D, of the
frame. A crank-shaft, H, is journaled in
boxes C' C' on a cross-rail, I, and one of the
5o end rails, J, of the frame at right angles to the
driving-shaft B, and this crank-shaft H is pro-vided at its inner end with a miter-pinion, K,
the teeth of which mesh with the miter-teeth
on the driving-wheel E.
In Fig. 1 I have shown the crank-shaft H 55
provided with two band-wheels, L and M, an
emery-wheel, N, a double crank, 0, between
the emery-wheel and band-wheel L, and a
crank-arm, P, at its outer end. The crank-
arm P is connected to a pitman-rod, Q, by a 6o
wrist-pin, Q', and the pitman-rod is connected
to the dasher-rod of a churn. It is evident
that the pitman-rod may be connected to a
scroll-saw or other device requiring a recipro-
cating motion to operate it. I have shown 65
also in said Fig. 1 a circular saw secured in a
frame attached to one of the side rails D, and
operated by a band from the pulley f. A
band also runs from the pulley L to a pulley
on the shaft of a coffee-mill on the opposite 70
side rail D. The double crank may be con-
nected by a pitman-rod to any machine re-
quiring a reciprocating motion to operate it.
The crank - shaft H is provided with a fly-
wheel, R, which is secured thereto outside of 75
the frame A, in order to enable me to make
the frame small and the fly-wheel sufficiently
large to cause the mechanism to run evenly
and with. uniformity.
In the modification shown in Fig. 2 the driv- 80
ing-shaft and crank-shaft are journaled paral-
lel to each other, and instead of cog-gearing,
as in Fig. 1, band-wheels and belting are used.
The uses to which this motor may be put are
practically illimitable in a figurative sense, 85
and only a few of them havebeen enumerated
above.
For light work and short operations the
crank on the driving-shaft may be used, and
the motor be driven by hand-power. Inheav- 90o
ier work and longer operations the band-wheel
on said driving-shaft may be and is employed
and is driven by horse-power, dog-power, or
steam or water power, as may be most con-
venient. 95
The corn-sheller, &c., are separate from the
motor; but those I have shown connected to
the frame may be conveniently used in such
connection, and in some instances two or more
of them may be operated at the same time, if Ioo
desirable.
The crank-shaft H has a bit-socket, H', in
