PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Pneumatic or Compressed Air Motor.
WILLIAM SMITH Bricklayer No. 2 Bentons Terrace High Street Crayford
Kent England do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A receiver for compressed air containing a valve or valves by which said air
passes out turning a fan shaped wheel or wheels said air passing through a tube
turning another fan shaped wheel or wheels fixed to spindles or shaft to which is
attached cog wheel for turning crank shaft fixed to which are the rods of pistons
for pumping air into the receiver so that when charged and set in motion it will
continue working automaticaly the first fan wheel to be fixed on shaft or spindle
giving motive power.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Pneumatic or Compressed Air Motor.
WILLIAM SMITH No. 2 Bentons Terrace High Street Crayford County of
Kent England by trade Bricklayer do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The nature of the invention is that of a motive power to be aplied to the working
of machinery of any description marine or otherwise also that once in motion it will
work automaticaly compressing its own air compressed air being the force used to
give the power.
The motor consists of reciever air pumps fan wheels pipes for conveying air from
one wheel to another and from one set of wheels to another branch pipes connected
with pipes conveying air from wbeel to wheel and from set to set said branch pipes
also connected with piston valve for supplying conveying pipes or shutting off
supply as required said piston valve to be supplied by pipe from reciever for supply
of air also cranks and crank's rods piston rods for air pumps with knuckle joint for
piston rods rollers attached to knuckle joint for easeing friction in traverse air
pistons with kuuckle and swivle joint for compressing air traverse for knuckle to
slide in so as to give direct thrust to compressing piston tap or escape valve for
allowing escape of air slide valve for completly shutting in air in receiver valves
for admitting air into and retaining air in reciever airtight boxes for fan wheels to
revolve in with openings for admission and escape of air shafts or spindles for fixing
fan wheels to bearings where required for fixing shafts cranks & lubricating system
of pipes for convaying oil to the wheels and bearings all to be shewn by the
Jananinsian and duominos

G Air boxes fixed to reciever for fan wheels to revolve in.
H Pipes conveying compressed air from one wheel to another of same set.
I Branch pipes for filling system of conveying pipes with air in first instance.
J Pipe conveying air from one set of wheels to another.
K Lubricating pipe from which branch pipes convey the oil for lubricating
purposes to wheels and stuffing boxes.
L Piston valve in connection with branch air pipes I.
M Branch pipes for conveying oil from lubricating pipe K.
N Pipe connecting piston valve with reciever for conveying air from reciever to
piston valves and so through branch pipes I to conveying pipes H filling them with
compressed air ready for working.
O Shafts for fixing fan wheels to.
P Air compressing piston shewing valve closed and piston driven right home.
QValve for admission of air into reciever.
R Connecting rod for connecting three throw crank E with crank S combined
with fan wheel shaft.
S Crank in combination with fan wheel shaft for working three throw crank E
said crank S being worked by the working of the fan wheels in the boxes through
the pressure of the air forceing its way to the escapeing point.
T Knuckle joint with rollers for easeing friction in slideing in traverse D.
U Piston rod connected on three throw crank E the connection to be made in
the most aproved manner or form.
V Combined swivle and knuckle joint for easeing the friction in cylinder when
compressing air.

pipes H between each wheel of same set with the form of connection by collor
joint for branch pipes I connecting with piston valve L and pipe N connecting
piston valve with reciever also shewing the spindle or shaft for fixing fan wheels
on with stuffing boxes Y cast with cheek peices of air boxes the arrows shew course
of air as it works its way to escape turning all wheels in same direction.

shewn the arrows shew the direction of the air by its expansive force turning the
wheel having passed more than half way round the compressed air comes to
the escape H said escape forming the base of conveying pipe from that wheel
to next.

Shew side veiw of reciever air boxes cranks air pump valve piston for compressing
traverse piston rod with knuckle joint bearing for 3 throw crank &
W shew form of crank fixed to shafts on which sets of wheels are fixed.
✗ shew connecting rod transmitting power from one set of wheels to annother.
H shews point of connection of convaying pipes the arrows shew course of air
from air pump to entrance of air box.
B 1. on Sheet No. 1 Fig. 1 shew extra air pump to be worked by manual power
by leaver or otherwise to get up the first pressure when it will then continue to
supply itself.
Any No. of wheels and set's of wheels may be fixed as required for pumping air
and any No. as required for motive force for machinery.
L piston valve for admitting or shuting off air from reciever to conveying pipes
consists of 2 pipes of the required length the one revolving within the other and
made as nearly airtight as possible in such parts as required to prevent the air
escaping in the wrong direction the outer pipe to be connected with the conveying
pipes H by branch pipes I and with the reciever by another pipe branching from
the outer pipe forming piston valve to and connected with reciever the inner pipe
to have an opening to correspond with the opening in the outer pipe admiting air
through the branch pipe from reciever and also openings to correspond with
openings in outer pipe admiting air to branch pipes I for filling conveying pipes H
with compressed air the half turn of the inner pipe to shut off or admitt the air
from reciever the means used after the fashion of a stop cock for turning the inner
pipe so forming what may be termed a revolving piston valve.
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
1st. A machine for utilising the expanscive power of compresed air.
2nd. Said machine to be known as a pneumatic or compressed air motor.
3rd. The machine as described in the Spescification and by the drawings.
