An Improved Hydraulic motor.
Year: 1897

page_text: I, HENRY SIDEBOTTOM, of Flixton Road, Urmston, in the County of Lancaster,
Agent, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My object is to form a hydraulic motor more convenient and efficient than has
hitherto been made.
I accomplish this by fitting upon a central hollow shaft capable of rotation
one or more suitable pipes or tubes or a hollow wheel of suitable material in
which a number of suitable tubes or channels are formed. This shaft and
adjuncts are placed upon suitable bearings within a suitable chamber of more
or less circular internal section around which are formed or placed suitable
projections.
In use, highpressure water is forced through the hollow shaft and along the
pipes or channels to their extreme ends, passing from which it impinges against
the projections inside the circular chamber rotating the shaft with great force
which is capable of imparting motion for any suitable purpose.

An Improved Hydraulic motor.
I, HENRY SIDEBOTTOM, of Flixton Road, Urmston, in the County of Lancaster,
Agent, 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 object is to form a hydraulic motor moré convenient and efficient than
has hitherto been made, I accomplish this as follows:
-
I fit upon a central hollow shaft capable of rotation one or more suitable pipes
or tubes, (or a hollow wheel of suitable material in which a number of suitable
tubes or channels are formed).
This shaft and adjuncts are placed upon suitable bearings within a suitable
chamber of more or less circular internal section around which are formed or.
placed suitable projections.
In use, high pressure water is forced through the hollow shaft and along the
pipes or channels to their extreme ends, passing from which it impinges against

page_text: the projections inside the circular chamber rotating the shaft with great force
which can be utilized for any requisite purpose.
Referring to the drawings sent herewith, which show a longitudinal section
of one form of my apparatus:-
-
a indicates a central hollow shaft running in suitable bearings within closed
chamber b. cc indicates two suitable tubes fitted upon hollow shaft a and
through which high pressure water admitted into the end or ends of hollow
shaft a can pass to their ends c2 which are suitably bent and provided with
nozzles or other suitable outlets which direct the water so that it strikes with
great force upon projections or shelves & which line the internal circumference
of circular chamber b, rotating the tubes cc and shaft a with great power in
the direction shown by arrows e e, the waste water being conveyed away by
channel for other convenient outlet.
By means of a pulley wheel upon shaft a such as is shown in dotted lines
or other suitable arrangement the power can be conveyed to wherever it is
required.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:-
-
1st. The combined apparatus, substantially as described and shown herein-
before and in the accompanying drawings, for the purpose set forth.
2nd. In a hydraulic motor, the combination of hollow shaft a, ejection tubes cc,
and projections or shelves & within chamber b, for the purposes set forth.
