Description
PETERS PHOTO-LITHOGRAPHEH. WASHINGTON D C STATES PATENT OFFICE.
CHARLES VORDEN, OF YPSILANTI, MICHIGAN.
APPARATUS FOR REGULATING THE FLOW OF WATER FROM CISTERNS.
Speccation of Letters Patent No. 29,742, dated August 21, 1860.
To all whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES WORDEN, of the city of Ypsilanti, in the county of Vashtenaw and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Machine for Regulating the Vater in and Discharging Tater from Cisterns, which'I call Vordens Self-Regulating Gage and Discharge Pipe for Cisterns; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operatio-n of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, in which the machine is shown in perspective, the front and left-hand sides of the box of the machine being removed to eipose the internal structure and operation o it.
A, represents the connection of the conductor pipe as it comes from the roof and enters the machine.
B, represents an upper chamber in the machine, separated from the lower part of the partition D, which extends through the whole length and breadth of the machine.
C is a circular opening in the partition D, through which the water passes on entering the machine, while the cistern is but partially full.
F, and G, are openings in the inner wall XV, through which the water readily passes, falling through the uninclosed part of the bottom, marked H, into the cistern below.
E, is a square piston head attached to the rod L, L, and moving freely upand down in the space between the partition D, and the bottom S.
J represents a rim or flange inserted in the orifice C, in the partit-ion D, and extending a small distance below. K, is the discharge pipe, int-o which the water may flow from the upper chamber B, and pass off where you choose. i
O, R, N, are braces attached at the outer ends to the bottom of the machine, and at the inner ends, to the ring P, for the better support and guidance of the piston rod L, L, that it may work more surely and easily in the machine.
I, is a float, run upon the rod L, L, over the screw X, and kept in place, or adjusted upon the rod, by the nut M, above the float,
and a nut on the under side of the ioat, not seen in the drawings.
The upper part or surface of the piston head E is covered with a piece of soft sole leather, or india rubber pad.
The machine may be made of tin, copper, brass, or other sheet metal, similar to that of which the conductors on the building are made, the float being the same, and soldered air and water tight, and of size sufficient to balance or excel the pressure in the discharge pipe K, and according to the height to which that pipe is to be carried up.
To use the machine, adjust it to the lower end of the pipe A, leading into the cistern, carefully securing and sustaining the machine to the frame work or curb over the cistern; adjust the float I, so that when the water in the cistern reaches the highest point desired, the piston head E, shall be carried up by the float, and pressed firmly against the lower edge of the rim J. The discharge pipe K, is properly placed for the desired drainage. The water enters the cistern through the machine, coming in at the pipe A, passing to the chamber B, then through the orifice C, upon the piston head E, and through the openings F and G and the open part of the bottom marked H, into the cistern below. As the cistern fills, the water reaches the float I, which rises with the water until the piston head E, reaches, and passes irmly up against the lower edge of the rim J, closing the orifice C, and iilling the chamber B, until the water rises and passes off through the discharge pipe K, the cistern receiving no more, but remaining iilled to the desired point, only.
I do not claim the piston, nor the float as my invention, both being old devices, but
l/Vhat I do claim as my invention and wish to secure by Letters Patent, is`
The combination of the float, piston and box, with partitions B, and W, having openings J, G, F, and pipes A and K-the whole constructed arranged and operated in the manner and for the purpose set forth.
lCHARLES WORDEN.
Signed in presence of- D. B. GREENE, A. WORDEN.
