CERTAIN IM- PROVEMENTS ON ENGINES OF MACHINERY FOR RAISING WATER, PART OF WHICH MACHINERY IS APPLICABLE TO OTHER USEFUL PURPOSES
Year: 1825

page_text: TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, RUDOLPRE
CABANEL, of Melina Place, Westminster Road, Lambeth, in the County of
Surry, Engineer, send greeting.
WHEREAS His present most Excellent Majesty King George the Fourth,
by His Letters Patent under the Great Seal of Great Britain, bearing date at
Westminster, the Thirtieth day of March, in the sixth year of His reign, did,
for Himself, His heirs and successors, give and grant unto me, the said
Rudolphe Cabanel, His especial licence, that I, the said Rudolphe Cabanel,
my exors, admiors, and assigns, or such others as I, the said Rudolphe
Cabanel, my exors, adññiors, or assigns, should at any time agree with, and
no others, from time to time and at all times during the term of years therein
expressed, should and lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend, within
England, Wales, and the Town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, and also in all His said
Majesty's Colonies and Plantations abroad, my Invention of "CERTAIN IM-
PROVEMENTS ON ENGINES OF MACHINERY FOR RAISING WATER, PART OF WHICH
MACHINERY IS APPLICABLE TO OTHER USEFUL PURPOSES;" in which said Letters .
Patent is contained a proviso obliging me, the said Rudolphe Cabanel, by an
instrument in writing under my hand and seal, particularly to describe and
ascertain the nature of my said Invention, and in what manner the same is
to be performed, and to cause the same to be inrolled in His Majesty High
Court of Chancery within six calendar months next and immediately after the
date of the said recited Letters Patent, as in and by the same, reference being
thereunto had, will more fully and at large appear.
NOW KNOW YE, that in compliance with the said proviso, I, the said
Rudolphe Cabanel. do hereby declare the nature of my said Invention to

page_text: consist in raising water by means of a series of moving troughs or channels,
retaining their relative positions to each other, but the inclinations of which
are caused to vary or alternate by nieans of any suitable machinery that the
local situation of the apparatus may render expedient or suggest; and in
further compliance with the said proviso, I, the said Rudolphe Cabanel, do
hereby describe the manner in which my said Invention is to be performed,
by the following description thereof, reference being had to the Drawings
annexed, and the figures marked thereon, that is to say:―
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS.
In the Drawing marked A, Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of my said
improvements. A is a rolling bed or base, the under side of which is the
segment of a circle, and which rolls on the plane B beneath it. C,C,C,C, C, are
standards for framework raised on this rolling bed. D, D, D, are three water
troughs and channels, the particular form of construction of which will be
more particularly explained hereafter. E is a basin or reservoir of water,
and from this Figure it will be evident, that if the end F of the rolling bed
be pressed down upon the plane, water will flow into the depressed end of the
Hower trough; if the end G of the rolling bed be then depressed in turn down
upon the plane, it is equally evident that the water at H will run along the
Hower trough or channel into the end J of the second trough, and if the end
F of the rolling bed be again depressed upon the plane B, till the trough
at H becomes emersed into the basin of water E for a second portion of
water, it is clear from this arrangement, that the water at J will run along
the second trough into the end K of the third trough, and thus by continuing
this alternate motion of the rolling bed A on the plane B, and increasing the
number of troughs in the series, it is evident that water may be raised to any
required height. It will be observed that two rolling beds and planes will
be required, as the troughs are supported on frames between then, but this
Figure being a section, of course only represents one rolling bed and plane.
Figure 2 is a plan of two troughs, for it will be observed, that only two can
be seen in plan, since the others rise immediately over the two lower troughs;
the part marked L is what I call the trough, and the part marked M the
'channel. It will be seen that the part of the trough which receives the
water from the channel is provided with an inclined plane or half cover N,
to prevent the water from spilling or splashing over or overflowing the sides
when the channel is dipped by the alternate motion. It should be stated that
the two troughs represented in this Figure are the two lowest, and, therefore,
the one which takes the water from the basin is provided with valves at P, P
which open upwards, and this prevents the necessity of so much power being

page_text: required as would be necessary if the whole of the lower trough had to be
immersed in the water, in order to dip up the required quantity of water.
Those letters which are not referred to in this Figure correspond with those
already described in the foregoing Figure, and this rule will apply to all
letters which are not particularly referred to in the other Drawings.
In the Drawing marked B, the Figure represents a perspective view of
the two troughs and channels before described.
In the Drawing marked C, the Figure represents an elevation of my said
improvements, as it would appear when the lower trough was dipped into the
basin, with the valves opened upwards, and the dotted red lines represent the
alternate position of the troughs when the opposite end of the rolling bed is
depressed.
In the Drawing marked D, the Figure represents a transverse section of
my said improvements.
Now, whereas I have called my said Invention Certain Improvements on
Engines or Machinery for Raising Water, because I purpose using a steam
engine as the first moving power to cause the alternate movement of the
troughs and channels, and whereas it is evident that the same effect may
be produced by means of the said troughs and channels, though the alternate
movement should be given by other means than those herein described, as by
suspending the troughs and channels, with their framework, on a common
centre, but whereas a series of moving troughs and channels such as are
herein-before described, retaining their relative positions to each other, but
the planes of which are caused to incline alternately, as herein-before also
described, by means of any suitable machinery applied thereto, for the purpose
of causing water to raise itself by the simple act of flowing, is, to the best of
my knowledge, entirely new and never before used within that said part of
His Majesty's United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland called England,
His Dominion of Wales, and Town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, nor in any of
His said Majesty's Colonies or Plantations abroad, I do hereby declare this to
be my Specification of the same, and that I do verily believe this my said
Specification doth comply in all respects, fully and without reserve or disguise,
with the proviso in the said herein-before in part recited Letters Patent con-
tained; wherefore I hereby claim to maintain exclusive right and privilege to
my said Invention.
In witness whereof, I, the said Rudolphe Cabanel, have hereunto set my
hand and seal, this Thirtieth day of September, in the year of our
Lord One thousand eight hundred and twenty-five.
RUDOLPHE (L.B.) CABANEL.

page_text: AND BE IT REMEMBERED, that on the Thirtieth day of September, in
the year of our Lord 1825, the aforesaid Rudolphe Cabanel came before our
said Lord the King in His Chancery, and acknowledged the Specification afore-
said, and all and every thing therein contained and specified, in form above
written. And also the Specification aforesaid was stamped according to the
tenor of the Statute made for that purpose.
Inrolled the Thirtieth day of September, in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight hundred and twenty-five.
