To the said spool f6 is secured one end of a
cable fs. The other end of said cable passes
over a pulley f9 and is secured to a beam f1o.
Said beam is perpendicularly journaled in a
5 frame f l, and is provided with a horse-beam
f'2 and singletree fl. Running from the
drive-wheel (cog and ratchet wheel b) are a
series of cog-wheels (clock-gearing) 1 2 3 4 5
with a circumference of ten to one. Thus
io one revolution of shaft a' will give wheel 5
a revolution of one hundred thousand, and to
the last shaft is secured a band-wheel 6, and
from this band-wheel is driven any kind of
machinery. When I wish to wind up the
15 weights, I attach a horse to the singletree fs3,
and thus revolve the beam f 0. That in turn
revolves the spool f5 by means of the cablefs.
Spool f5, by means of the ratchet between
itself and cog-wheel f4, revolves said cog-
20 wheel f. This wheel revolves cog-wheel b2,
and consequently shaft a' and spools b5 and
c2, which operation winds the cables d4 around
said spools and draws the weights d7 and ds
up to groove-wheels d2 d}. As soon as the
25 weights arrive at this point the motor is
wound up, and when the horse no longer
draws on the singletree f13 the wheel b2 is
started in the opposite direction by means of
said weights, and by means of its ratchet con-
30 nection revolves wheel b, which in turn re-
volves the other wheels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
The object of having the spools c2 and f,
loosely secured on the shafts a' and b2 and
having, in addition to their ratchet connec-
35 tions, pins bj to secure them rigidly to said
shafts and arms b4 and f5 is to enable them
to be turned by hand in case horse-power is
not attainable or desirable, in which case the
pins may be removed and the spool slipped
40 out a little to release them from their ratchet
connections, and then by means of their arms
they can be separately turned and each weight
separately wound up, and then said spools
can be slipped back to their ratchet connec-
45 tions and the pins replaced as before.
The object of the clamps d" and d' is to en-
able the operator to arrest the motion of either
weight at any time.Having described my invention, what I
claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters 50
Patent, is-
1. In a motor, having a series of cog-wheels,
substantially as shown and described, the
combination of shaft ac', journaled in proper
bearings; ratchet and cog wheel b, journaled 55
on one end of said shaft; dog and cog-wheel
b2, rigidly secured on the same end of said
shaft; elevation D, consisting of the stand-
ards d, having between their upper ends pul-
ley d3, and near their lower ends shaft f2; 6o
cog-pinion f4, rigidly secured on said shaft;
spool f", secured on said shaft and having a
ratchet connection with pinion fl; spool b3,
rigidly secured on shaft a'; cable dl, one end
secured to spool b, thence passing up over 65
pulley d3, and secured to a weight ds; cable
f , one end secured to spool f5, and the other
end to a horse-power, adapted to be revolved
and by means of said spool, wheels f , b2,
spool b3, cable dm, and pulley dP, to wind up a 70
weight dS; wheel c, rigidly secured on the
other end of said shaft; spool c2, journaled on
the same end of said shaft, having a ratchet
connectionwith wheel c; arms c, on the outer
end of said spool; perforations b; pin b5; 75
spring-pin 6; cable dl, one end attached to
spool c2, and the other passing up over pulley
d3, and attached to a weight d7, substantially
as shown and described and for the purposes
set forth. 80
2. In a motor, substantially as shown and
described, shaft a', having hollow cylindrical
ends and perforation b; spools b and c2, hav-
ing arms b4, c3, perforations b6, pins b5, spring-
pin b; cables d4, having one end attached to 85
said spools, the other ends passing up over
pulleys d3, and secured to weights, substan-
tiallyas shown and described and for the pur-
poses set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature 90
in presence of two witnesses.
