A SYSTEM OF MOTIVE POWER APPLICABLE FOR WORKING CRANES AND WHEELS
Year: 1859

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Prince Gustave Gennerich, of Poland, late at the
British and Foreign Office for Patents, No. 1B, Welbeck Street, Cavendish
Square, in the County of Middlesex, for the Invention of "A NEW SYSTEM
Sealed the 8th June 1860, and dated the 12th December 1859
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Prince Gustave Gennerich
at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the
12th December 1859.
I, Prince GUSTAVE GENNERICH, of Poland, at the British and Foreign
Office for Patents, No. 1B, Welbeck Street, Cavendish Square, London, in
the County of Middlesex, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention
for "A NEW SYSTEM OF MOTIVE POWER APPLICABLE FOR WORKING CRANES AND
WHEELS," to be as follows:-
The present Invention is a motive power applied to a crane for raising
goods instead of multiplied hands or steam power. The principle consists of a
heavy weight sliding on an iron rod which is attached to the axis of a wheel,
and by means of a snap fastened to the rod causes the wheel to revolve. By
means of the heavy sliding weight the cylinder to which the chain is attached
is made to act with great power. The same power may be applied in any
case where a wheel or crank is required to be turned, as by the heavy weight
sliding to and fro the iron rod acts as balance and creates a power, and by
moving up and down turns a wheel or crank.

by the said Prince Gustave Gennerich in the Great Seal Patent Office
on the 12th June 1860.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, Prince
GUSTAVE GENNERICH, of Poland, late at the British and Foreign Office for
Patents, No. 1B, Welbeck Street, Cavendish Square, in the County of
Middlesex, now of 70, Torrington Square, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her Letters
Patent, bearing date the 12th day of June, in the year of our Lord One
thousand eight hundred and sixty, in the twenty-third year of Her reign,
did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give and grant unto me, the said
Prince Gustave Gennerich, Her special licence that I, the said Prince
Gustave Gennerich, my executors, administrators, and assigns, or such others
as I, the said Prince Gustave Gennerich, my executors, administrators, and
assigns, should at any time agree with, and no others, from time to time and
at all times thereafter during the term therein expressed, should and lawfully
might make, use, exercise, and vend, within the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Ireland, the Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention
for "A NEW SYSTEM OF MOTIVE POWER APPLICABLE FOR WORKING CRANES
AND WHEELS BY MEANS OF LEVERS, CHAINS, AND HEAVY WEIGHTS, BEARING
THE TITLE OF THE GENNERO-MOTIVE," upon the condition (amongst others)
that I, the said Prince Gustave Gennerich, my executors or adminis-
trators, by an instrument in writing under my, or their, or one of their
hands and seals, should particularly describe and ascertain the nature of
the said Invention, and in what manner the same was to be performed,
and cause the same to be filed in the Great Seal Patent Office within six
calendar months next and immediately after the date of the said Letters
Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Prince Gustave Gennerich, do hereby
declare the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same is
to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
Figure 1, A, a heavy weight containing four wheels inside as is indicated
Figure 2, A, running on two rods, a sort of rail enframed to the axle for
the horizontal movement,
Figure 3, B, C, the weight being attached to a chain running on wheels.
Figure 4, D, the chain, having a sliding wheel enclosed in a communication
frame on both sides of the weight

page_text: Figure 5, E, and connected with a communication rod.
Figure 6, F, another chain, both sides attached to the communication frame,
is dropping into a wheel
Figures 7, G, & 8, H, which are attached and drawn by a small wheel
enframed to the large lever
Figures 9, I, & 10, K, which is just the position which drew down the
driving lever for the wheel.
Figure 11, L, the other chain.
Figure 8, H, is dropping into a wheel, and with a communication rod
attached to the lever,
Figure 12, M, which driving weight,
Figure 13, N, standing upright, being the time of change to draw up
the sliding or the gennero-motive power weight for another revolution of the
wheel
Figure 12, M, is enclosed in a little catch, which in time when the weight
drops down, the rod is attached until the weight is drawn up again for another
revolution.
Figure 14, O.
.
Figure 15, P, a lever which is to be drawn by the hand, by means of one
weight, or if requiring very great power by a small steam engine. Also,
Figure 16, Q, is the start for the motion of the gennero-motive or the new
system of motive power. The lever
Figure 15, P, drawn down, draws up by means of a chain
Figure 18, S, a weight
Figure 17, R, which has lost all its power and gives to Figure 13, N, the
easiness and full power to draw down the lever
Figure 12, M, for another start for the gennero-motive weight and another
revolution of the wheel, and so it goes constantly with the two levers
Figures 15, P, & 16, Q, the two weights,
Figures 13, N, & 17 R, being placed opposite each other and attached
with a chain sliding on wheels between them
Figure 19, T, while drawing down the lever
Figure 12, M, Figure 17, R, is eased by the lever
Figure 15, P, and drawn up with the lever and weight
Figure 13, N.

page_text: Figure 22, W, adopted for the perfect revolution of the driving wheel
without fly-wheel or balance.
Figure 23, X, is a lever which is pressed down only by the weight
Figure 13, N, and doubles the power, acting together with the gennero-
motive weight, only for the revolution of the
Figure 12, M, the lever.
Figure 10, K, exercises the same power, only in a different manner, going
the same direction with the weight gennero-motive.
Figure 1, A, has only a bar of iron catching in the frame.
Figure 3, B, with Figure 24, Y, the frame of the entire engine is start-
ing off.
Figure 3, B, C, in which the axle runs and gives the motion to the entire
machine.
Figure 25, Z, Figure 26, A, A, is a very strong frame, in which a very
great power is exercised, in which the axle of
Figures 10, K, & 12, M, runs through.
Figure 27, B, B, a frame in which the lever for the driving wheel is
attached. For the conclusion
Figure 28, C, C, everywhere where a hole is running through to be fastened
with screws and nuts.
This is the entire description of the gennero-motive or the new system of
motive power exercised by means of weights, levers, and chains, to be used to
any extent of power; even the engine does not require to be larger, only
the weights must be increased.
