PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION,
Improved Combined Rotary Blower, Exhauster or Pump, and
Motor.
I, JOHN CHARLES RAYMOND OKES, of 39 Queen Victoria Street, London, in the
County of Middlesex, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention.
(which has been communicated to me from abroad by Francis Marion Roots, of
Connersville, Fayette County, State of Indiana, United States of America, Engineer)
to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to provide an improved combined rotary blower,
exhauster or pump and motor, ready to be secured in any desired position as a
complete structure.
The improvements consist in a combination of a motor and pressure blower (or.
pump) having revolving vanes or abutments, wherein the engine is attached
directly to a portion of the blower (or pump), thus making it an integral part of
the machine.
For this purpose I cast or otherwise secure to one of the end plates of the casing of
the blower, exhauster or pump suitable standards extending up to the top of such
casing where they form a plate or bed to receive the frame of the motor, which is
bolted or otherwise secured thereto. For small blowers, exhausters or pumps the
frame of the motor might even be cast in one with the end of the casing.
The piston
rod of the motor is connected to the shaft or shafts of the blower, exhauster or pump
by connecting rods in any suitable manner.
By preference, the description of engine which I employ for blowers, exhausters or
pumps having two revolving vanes is of that class wherein two connecting rods work
from the same crosshead, each connecting rod acting directly upon a crank or disc
secured to one of the spindles of the blower, and each spindle revolving in an opposite
direction.
The motor can thus be fitted to the blower or exhauster, so that the apparatus will
be ready to be placed in any desired position as a complete structure.

Improved Combined Rotary Blower, Exhauster or Pump, and

1, JOHN CHARLES RAYMOND OKES, of 39 Queen Victoria Street, London, in the
County of Middlesex, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
(which has been communicated to me from abroad by Francis Marion Roots, of
Connersville, Fayette County, State of Indiana, United States of America, Engineer)
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
The object of my invention is to provide an improved combined rotary blower,
exhauster or pump and motor, ready to be secured in any desired position as a
complete structure.
The improvements consist in a combination of a motor and pressure blower (or
pump) having revolving vanes or abutments, wherein the engine is attached
directly to a portion of the blower (or pump), thus making it an integral part of
the machine.

page_text: For this purpose I cast or otherwise secure to one of the end plates of the casing
of the blower, exhauster or pump, suitable standards extending up to the top of such
casing where they form a plate or bed to receive the frame of the motor, which is
bolted or otherwise secured thereto. For small blowers, exhausters or pumps, the
frame of the motor might even be cast in one with the end of the casing. The piston
rod of the motor is connected to the shaft or shafts of the blower, exhauster or pump
by connecting rods in any suitable manner.
By preference the description of engine which I employ for blowers, exhausters or
pumps having two revolving vanes is of that class wherein two connecting rods work
from the same crosshead, each connecting rod acting directly upon a crank or
disc secured to one of the spindles of the blower, and each spindle revolving in an
opposite direction.
The motor can thus be fitted to the blower or exhauster, so that the apparatus will
be ready to be placed in any desired position as a complete structure.
In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 is a side elevation partly in section of a
combined blower or pump and motor, and
.
Fig. 2 is an end view thereof.
A is tho blower; A¹ is the end plate of same, to which are secured the
. standards C.
The whole may if desired be attached to a suitable foundation as shown in the
drawing.
The standards C, extend to the top of the casing and form a plate or bed C to
receive the frame D of the motor E, which is bolted or otherwise secured thereto.
The piston rod F of motor E is connected to the shaft or shafts of the blower. The
drawing shows the piston rod F connected to the crosshead G, working in suitable
slides in the frame D, and provided with connecting rods H, H¹, connected respectively
to the cranks or discs I, I¹, mounted on the shafts K, K', of the blower, so as to
cause same to revolve in opposite directions.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
The combination with a rotary blower, exhauster or pump, of a motor the frame of
which is formed in one with, or is suitably secured to, the frame of such rotary blower,
exhauster or pump, substantially as specified.
