JACKSON II. LOOMIS, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO.
SPRINKLING DEVICE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 626,495, dated June 6, 1899.
Application led January 9, 1899.
To @ZZ whom, it 11i/ty concern.-
Be it known that I, JACKSON I-I. Looms, a resident of Cleveland, county of Cuyahoga, and State of Ohio, have invented certain new'y and useful Improvements in Sprinkling Devices; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertainsto make and use the same.
My invention relates to improvements in lawn-sprinklers; and it consists more especially in a device of the character indicated Whose sprinkler proper or nozzle is removable and can be coupled onto an ordinary gardenhose and used as an ordinary nozzle in sprinkling iiowers and other plants.
W'ith this object in view and to the end of realizing other advantages hereinafter appearing my invention consists in certain features of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure I is a central vertical or longitudinal section of a lawn-sprinkler embodying myinvention. Fig. II is a central section at right angles to Fig. I. Fig. III is a side elevation, in central section, of the sprinkler proper or nozzle and shows a supplemental water-deflect-ing collar upon the spray-regulating screw. Fig. IV is an outer end elevation of the said collar. Fig. V is a side elevation, in central section, of the said collar. Fig. VI is a side elevation, in central section, of a water-deiiecting collar having a bore whose surrounding wall is plain. Fig. VII is a side elevation, in central section, of the sprinkler proper or nozzle provided with a removable cutoi capable of closing one side of the spraying-aperture. Fig. VIII is an outer end elevation of the said cut-oft'. Fig. IX is an inner side elevation of the said cut-oft.
Referring to the drawings', a designates the top of astand having two downwardly-diverging legs a a' arranged at opposite sides, respectively, of the stand. The top a is perforated centrally, as at a2, to accommodate the extension therethrough of the upright externally-threaded end l1 of an elbow whose other and horizontal end 112 is screw-threaded inter- Seral No. 701,548. (No model.)
nall y for accommodating the attachment thereto of the coupling member of a gardenhose. (Not shown.) Elbow b at the under side of the top d is provided externally with an annular flange Z13, arranged to abut the said side of the top, and a nut c, mounted upon the threaded end b of the elbow at the upper side of the top a, is instrumental in drawing and holding the said flange, and consequently the elbow, against the under side ot' the top. To prevent turning of the elbow, the flange b3 is provided with a recess b4, that is engaged by a lug a4, integral with anddepending from the top a.
cl designates the hollow body portion of the Vsprinkler proper or nozzle that has its lower or inner and coupling end d screw-threaded internally'and shown screwed in Figs. I and II upon the correspondingly externally threaded member Z1' of the elbow b at the outer end of the nut c. passage-way formed therethrough, which passage-way is open at the inner extremity of the body and terminates at its outer end in the discharge-aperture d2, formed in the outer end and centrally of the body.
A screw e, that is instrumental in the reg` `ulation of the spray discharged at the aperof the body, and the said cross-bar is sufticiently narrower than the chamber formed within the body to avoid material obstruction of the flow of water through the body. The screw e at the outer end of the dischargeaperture is provided with a head c2, that constitutes the grasping portion of the screw in turning the latter. The screw at the inner end of the said head is provided externally with an annular outwardly-flaring shoulder e3, that is wide enough to render it capable of closing the discharge-aperture d2 at the The body d has a IOO latters outer extremity upon screwing the vscrew inwardly to the extent required, and
the said aperture is at its outer end enlarged diametrically and iiares outwardly, as at d5, opposite the aforesaid shoulder e3 of the screw.
The body d at any suitable point between the cross-bar d4 and the bodys lower or inner extremity is provided with an internal annular shoulder d, that faces in the direction of the inner extremity of the body d, and a washer g is interposed between the said shoulder and the upper extremity of member b of the elbow b, so as to prevent leakage between the said elbow member and the body of the sprinkler proper or nozzle.
Figs. I and II of the drawings show a screw e in the open position required for spraying the water passing under pressure through the body d outwardly from the discharge-aperture of the body-that is, the outwardlyflaring shoulder e3 of the screw is separated from the surrounding wall of the dischargeaperture and causes the water passing through the said aperture in the operation of the device to be deflected laterally and out- Wardly.
In Fig. III the screw e is shown withdrawn far enough to accommodate the placing of a supplemental water-deiiecting collar h upon the screws shank between the screws shoulder e3 and the outer end of the discharge-aperture d2, and the said collar has an external outwardly-flaring and annular surface arranged to be impinged by the water passing through the said aperture, and thereby de- 'tlect the water laterally and outwardly. The
external surface of the collarh does not iiare as much as the shoulder c3, and consequently the Water passing through the discharge-aperture in the operation of the device when the said collar is in its operative position upon the screw will pass higher into the air than it would were the shouldere3 employed to deflect the water. It will be observed, therefore, that shoulder e3 is employed in deflecting the water when a low and wide spray is desired and that'collar 7L is used when a higher and narrower spray is desired. The collar h may be screw-threaded internally and engage corresponding threads upon the screw, and this construction is preferable, perhaps, by a person who would be likely to misplace the collar, because he could place the said collar when the latter is not used` upon the lower end of the screw below cross-bar d4; but the said collar does not necessarily require to be threaded internally, because it could have a plain internal surface, as shown in Fig. VI, and loosely mounted upon the screw and the pressure of the water passing through the discharge-aperturein the operation of the device Y would force and retain the collar in close contact with the shoulder e3. I would here remark that the hole through the collar 7L at its shoulder e3 and to enable the said collar to be moved against and have bearing upon the said shoulder when the collar is employed as a water-deilector.
Fig. VII shows a cut-oh or device k for closing the discharge-aperture at one side of the device during the latters operation. The said cut-off has its inner end portion shaped and arranged as required to render it 'capable of being introduced between one side of the shank ofthe screw and the surrounding Wall of the discharge-aperture and has its outer end portion k projecting upwardly and outwardly from the inner portion and shaped or arranged as required to accommodate its inner position between the water-deecting member (es or h, as the case may be) and the surrounding wall of the iiaring portion of the discharge-aperture and to render it capable of closing one side of the discharge-aperture, as aforesaid. The cut-off can be readily removed by withdrawing the screw to the extent required.
Referring again to the means for deflecting the water and the manner of supporting the said means from the body of the device, I would remark that the screw upon which the deflector c3 is formed may be properly described as astem that is rigid with and extends inwardly from the said deflector and is suitably supported from the body, and I would have it understood that my invention einbraces, broadly, a sprinkling device of the character indicated having a hollow body provided with a discharge-aperture, a waterdeflector arranged at the outer end of the said aperture and provided with an inwardlyextending stem suitably supported from the body, and another deflector capable of being removably mounted upon the said stem between the first-mentioned detlector and the surrounding wall of .the discharge-aperture.
What I claim is- 1. In a sprinkling device of the character indicated, the combination with a hollow body provided with a discharge-aperture, and a Water-deilector arranged at the outer end of the said aperture and having an inwardly-extending stem or member supported from the aforesaid body; of another water-deiiector removably mountable upon the said stem between the detlecting-surface of the iirst-mentioned deflector and the surrounding wall of the discharge-aperture, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. In a sprinkling device of the character indicated, the combination with a hollow body provided with a discharge-aperture, a waterdeflector arranged at the outer end of the said aperture and shiftable inwardly and outwardly, and a stem or member bearing the said dei-lector and extending inwardly from the said delector and supported from the aforesaid body; of another water-deiiector removably mountable upon the said stem between the first-mentioned deiiector and the surrounding wall of the discharge-aperture, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
