MOTOR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 250,787, dated December 13, 1,881. Application filed April 23, 1881. (Np model.)
To all whom it 'may concern:
Be it known that we, MILTON M. CONGER and JOB O. OONGER, of Wellsville, in the county of Montgomery and State of Missouri,
have invented certain new and useful Improvel ments in Motors for Impelling Vehicles and i Machinery; and we do hereby declare th at the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,which will enable others -ro skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specifi cation.
upon a patent granted to Milton M. (longer, of Wellsville, Missouri; and it consists ofa tube of metal or other suitable material, open on one side to form a track for a wheel, in which is tted to a steam tight joint a strip of elastic packing, which packing, together with the bottom of said tubular track or rail,serves the purpose of a receiving tube for steam, compressed air, or other elastic fluid, the latter of which, when forced into one end of said receiving-tube, lifts said packing and forms immediately in rear of a wheel adapted to bear against the collapsed portion of said packing and receiving tube an inclined abutment, to carry a weight superincumbent upon an axle of said wheel, or drive, from the momentum or force of said wheel, machinery of various kinds.
In our drawings, Figure 1 is a transverse section of the open tubular track or rail provided with a strip of packing. Fig. 2 is a lon- 'f adinal section of same. Fig. 3 is a transrse section, showing another form of receivf ngtube, flexible in part. Fig. 4 is a longil` tudinal section of thesame. Fig. 5 shows a variation in the form of the tube.
Similar reference-letters indicate like parts in all of the iigures. l
Referring to the drawings, A is the open track,rectangular in general form, composed of metal, preferably provided with a longitudinal opening, a,on one side, of a width sufficient to receive a vehicle-Wheel or a driving-wheel.
B is a strip of elastic packing, which is fitted snugly between the upright walls, relatively so, of the tube A, sufficiently so to form asteamtight joint as it (the said packing) is moved in said tube.
Our present invention is an improvement Beneath the tube A. is a pipe or pipes, C, which conduct the fluid to said tube from the place where it is generated and into the space D, formed beneath said packing B. The elastic packing B runs the entire length of the tubular track, audits upper surface forms a bearing to the wheel E. The wheel E, with the weight it carries, when the tube or space 1) is collapsed, presses said packing B down until it rests upon the bottom of the open tucbular track A. A jet of steam, compressed air, or other elastic iiuid is let or forced into the pipes O, and thence into the space beneath the packing B, to lift said packing and form the tubular space D. The packing in this case answers the double purpose of the flexible ribbon and iiexible tube shown and described in the patent previously referred to. A limit to the movement of the packing B is formed by the flanges b b of the tubular rail A, and an abutment, G, is formed against the periphery of the Wheel E by the packing B under the pressure of the luid against the said packing from underneath.
In Figs. 3 and 4 of our drawings is shown a variation in form only of the tubular track, which is constructed upon the principle ofa tube, to receive compressed air, steam, or other liuid, formed with its sides rigid, except one, which is formed of flexible material.4 A longitudinal groove, G', in this second form is provided, and said grooveis capped with gummed or oiled cloth d, rmly secured to the metallic base of the tube A', as shown in Fig. 31. The pipe G discharges the fluid into the groove G from beneath and lifts the prepared cloth or flexible fabric d to form the tube D. The driving-wheel E', applicable in this variation, should have an annular projection on its periphery to correspond with the depression or groove G. It would be an advantage to have the annular projection of the Wheel E formed of rubber or suitable flexible material, as with such the Wear in the tread of the wheel would be greatly modified.
In the practical arrangement of our device it is contemplated to provide suitable means' for exhausting or collapsing the space beneath the flexible bearing for the wheel.
While we prefer to have the open tubular track rectangular in form, in practice `we might conclude to adopt the form of tube shown in IPO Fig. 5, with the upright or side walls inclined the exible strip B, as and for the purpose inward. to facilitate the perfect packing ofthe specified. joints on either side of the packing material. In testimony that we claim the foregoing The open tubular rail A, instead of being anas our own We affix our signatures in presence r 5 5 gular, as shown, may be of cylindrical or semiof two witnesses.
