Improvements in Wind Motors.
I WILLIAM JOSEPH MOSELEY of Garden Cottage Pilgrims Place Brighton
Road Surbiton in the County of Surrey England Gardener do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
First. Of an improved trapezoid frame automaton louvre blades vane the frame
of which is made of 1 inch angle iron riveted together at the angles by means of
the necessary plates made of a proper shape and riveted on to the frame, and at
two feet from the base of vane across the vane and parallel with the base of the
vane, is fixed a piece of 14 inch angle iron as a fixing for the louvre blades, so as to
fix the louvre blades in each direction in the frame and to strengthen the frame,
the frame is pierced by holes at the proper distances to receive the hinges or pivots
upon which the louvre blades work; in some of the vanes where the louvre blades
are fixed lengthwise in the frame there is a piece of 14 inch angle iron fitted on the
frame from one angle of frame to a little more than half the distance from the base
of vane to the highest point of the vane to receive an hinge or joint to strengthen
and keep in place the longest of the louvre blades; in those that where the louvre
blades are fixed across the vane the hinge or joint to support the longest of the
louvre blades is fixed to the arm of the vane instead of to the angle iron, the arm
of the vane is made of pitch pine six inches square at the base where it is fixed
into the shoe it is tapered to the top end and part is cut away at an angle of
about 50° so that the vane stands at the right angle for work the arm is fixed
on to the vane by means of a band or brace passing round the arm and being
bolted on to the frame by means of bolts and nuts at each point of contact with
the frame. The louvre blades are made of inch thick pine board and are
12 inches wide at the broadest part and tapering to the other end to about 8 inches
at the narrow end in those that are fixed across the vane, and 1 ft. at the broadest
part of the louvre blade and tapering to about 3 inches at the lowest end of
those that are fitted lengthwise in the vane, the louvre blades are fixed in position
by means of a stud at each end of the louvre blades, the stud is riveted to a
plate of sheet iron cut to a suitable shape the same forming a clip to fasten the
studs to the louvre blades the studs at each end passing through the holes in the
frame and forming the hinge or joint upon which the louvre blades work, the blades
are worked and kept in position by means of a spiral spring the same being
connected to a rod which connects the whole of the louvre blades by means of
loose joints which are screwed into a stud which is fixed into the louvre blade, one
stud and joint to each louvre blade, the stud is fixed into the louvre blade by means
of a screw thread cut on a portion of the stud a nut passing on it to stand on the
top side of the louvre blade the end passing through the louvre blade the other
nut being screwed on the end on the under side of the louvre blade and
making the stud rigidly there is a loose collar with a screw in it on the rod
Connecting the louvre blades one to each louvre blade the same fixing the louvre
blades and holding them in position the whole working automatically in the wind
and allowing all surplus force to escape. The vane shaft is made of 4 inch round
iron and turned down at the necessary points to fit in the bearings made to receive
them the shoe to receive and carry the vanes is 2 ft. 6 in. diameter and is keyed on
to the shaft I also use guy rods to strengthen the vanes which are screwed to a boss
on the end of the vane shaft 1 ft. in diameter, and screwed to the vaue frame at

page_text: 2 ft. from top. of vane at the highest point of vane and at the other highest point of
the vane a rod is fixed; and the same is fixed to the next vane at a suitable point
so fixing them altogether, I use a table to fix the vane shaft on by means of
suitable standards made to receive the bearings in which the vane shaft works
the driving wheel of motor is fixed to the vane shaft also a flange wheel and a fly
or balance wheel is fixed towards the opposite end of main shaft carrying the
vanes.
:
Second. Is the roller brackets made of cast iron to carry the table upon which
the motor is fixed and to keep it in its proper position in the structure made for to
receive it. In the bottom of the arm of the bracket is a bearing to receive the
roller carrying the table the top arm is made of a seperate piece and has a bearing
made in the same to receive the roller in it at the top of the table, the bottom
arm of the bracket is pierced with a hole to receive pivot of roller also the top
arm is pierced in a similar manner the same receiving the top pivot of roller at
the back of bracket the top arm has two flanges through which passes bolts and
nuts to fix and hold it in position the same forming a complete bracket the said
brackets fixing and carrying the table in position.
Third. Is a governor worked by means of a pinion working in and on the driving
wheel on vane shaft and working on a wheel and pinion on the governor the said
governor working on an arm of suitable shape the arm acting on a lever which is
fixed to a standard of suitable shape to the other end of which lever is fixed a
weight the same acting on a steel band which acts on the flange wheel which is
fitted on the vane shaft the whole forming an efficient governor and so checking.
any excess of speed the whole being fixed on the table carrying the vanes by means.
of the necessary fittings.

I, WILLIAM JOSEPH MOSELEY of Garden Cottage Pilgrims Place Brighton
Road Surbiton in the County of Surrey England Gardener 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:-
My invention has for its object the utilization of the wind force for all purposes
for which power or energy are required as for the farm such as thrashing and
dressing corn, grinding of corn chaff cutting, pulping roots & ctr. and for the
gentleman's estate for the above mentioned purposes together with pumping
sawing & electric-lighting & ctr. by useing the vanes as herein described thus
allowing all surplus wind force to pass through the vanes and acting in unison with.
the band brake governor and ensureing one uniform rate of speed in stormy or
gusty weather.
I will now proceed to describe with reference to the accompanying drawings.
first an automatically working louvre blade's vane. The vanes are. trapezoid. in.
shape Fig. 3 & Fig. 4 and are made of angle iron A Fig. 3 & A Fig. 4 which is
riveted together at the angles by means of plates, the frame is pierced by holes.to.
receive the pivots C Fig. 3 of the louvre blades B. Fig. 3 on which the louvre.
blades revolve and at two feet from the base of the vane. Fig. 4 a piece of angle
iron is fixed across the vane to the outside frame which is pierced by holes to
receive the pivots C Fig. 4 of the louvre blades B. Fig. 4 there is also a piece of
angle iron fixed across the vane Fig. 3 to strengthen the vane Fig. 3 there is. a.
piece of angle iron T Fig. 4 across the vane to strengthen the longest of the louvre
blades in Fig. 4 the arm of the vane D Fig. 3 & D. Fig. 4-is-made of pitch pine

page_text: the vane is fixed to the arm by means of a brace being bolted on at each point of
contact with the frame the base of the arm is fixed into the shoe E Fig. 3 & E
Fig. 4 which is fixed on the shaft carrying the vane Fig. 1. The louvre blades
are made of wood and are fitted across the vane B Fig. 3 and lengthwise in
Fig. 4. B. B. The louvre blades are fixed in position by means of the plates and
& studs C Fig. 3 & C Fig. 4 the blades are worked and kept closed by means of a
spiral spring F Fig. 3 & F Fig. 4 the same being connected to the rod H. Fig. 3
& H Fig. 4 which connects the whole of the blades in each vane by means of loose
joints which are screwed to a stud G Fig. 3 & G Fig. 4 fixed in each of the louvre
blades. The loose collars on the rod are fixed by means of a set screw in each
thus allowing the whole of the blades to open to the wind force and closeing when
the wind force abates and allowing all surplus wind force to pass through the vanes
Second is the roller bracket for carrying the table on which the motor is fixed
I. Fig. 1. & 1. Fig. 2. there is a base & standard to which the top arm is fixed by
means of bolts there are three rollers I. Fig. 1. & 1. Fig. 2 one at the bottom to
carry the table another in the back of the bracket which acts on the edge of the
table I. Fig. 1. & I. Fig. 2. and another in the top arm to keep the table down in
its position I. Fig. 1. & 1. Fig. 2 and allowing the table upon which the motor is
fixed to revolve when necessary to bring the motor into the wind for use
is the band brake R. Fig. 1. & R. Fig. 2 which is worked by means of a pinion J.
Fig. 2. which carries the wheel K. Fig. 1. & K. Fig. 2. which acting on the
pinion L. Fig. 1. & L. Fig. 2. causes the govenor to revolve and thus allows the
arm M. Fig. 1 & M. Fig. 2 to rise which carries an arm N. Fig. 1. & N. Fig. 2
which is fixed to it thus allowing an arm O. Fig. 1. & O. Fig. 2 which is fixed to
a spindle which passes through the standard Fig. 2 to which brake R. Fig. 1. &
R. Fig. 2 is fixed to which P. Fig. 1. & P. Fig. 2 is fixed and allowing the
weight Q Fig. 1. & Q. Fig. 2 to depress P. Fig. 1. P. Fig. 2 and thus cause the
brake R. Fig. 1. & R. Fig. 2 to grip the flange wheel S Fig. 1. & S. Fig. 2 and so
regulate the speed of the mill.
