DIW LGATION
Le principe de commande - A (feuille de dessin 1\3 et 2\3) sert a ouvrir la partie B (feuille 1\3 et 3\3) de 90 degre de facon lente afin de prevenir des coups de belier. La partie (1) est un "shaft"
qui est relie a 2 engrenages de 90 degre piece (4) qui fait tourner une vis sans fin (5) emprisonnee dans 2 bagues (6) de brass. Cette vis sans fin deplace une "NUT" (3) sur son axe longitudinal et vient deplacer la piece (2) qui est relie a la partie B (feuille 1\3 et 3\3) par un "shaft" carre avec joint de fissure voir (feuille 1\3). Ces pieces de la partie A sont en materiaux composite et assemblees selon les croquis en annexe.
La partie B comprend 3 principales parties, le moule en forme de coude en materiaux polymere (piece 2), ce moule est fait filete autour de la piece (1) de facon a etancher. La piece 1 est actionnee par le "shaft" carre venant du haut. La piece 1 montree au (feuille 1\3 et 3\3) est un cylindre avec une orifice permettant de laisser passer l'eau pour repondre aux normes concernant les bornes-fontaines.
Cette piece est en acier inoxidable et a une "rainure" du cote ou il n'y a pas de pression lorsque la borne-fontaine est fermee, de facon a drainer l'eau restant dans la borne-fontaine lorsque celle-ci est fermee. La rainure dans la piece (1) et le trou (3) (voir dessin 3\3) etant alignes lorsque ferme celle-ci n'accumule pas d'eau.
Vous remarquerez sur mon dessin 1\3 que la partie "C" peut-etre fait de materiaux composite ou de polymere. Elles sont faites (partie C) de facon a etre bridees entre elles et aussi a la partie B et la partie A.

DIW LGATION
The operating principle - A (drawing sheet 1 \ 3 and 2 \ 3) is used to open part B (sheet 1 \ 3 and 3 \ 3) 90 degrees slowly in order to prevent water hammer. Part (1) is a "shaft"
which is connected to 2 gears of 90 degree piece (4) which rotates a worm (5) trapped in 2 brass rings (6). This worm moves a "NUT" (3) on its longitudinal axis and comes move the piece (2) which is connected to part B (sheet 1 \ 3 and 3 \ 3) by a square "shaft" with crack joint see (sheet 1 \ 3). These parts of part A are made of composite materials and assembled according to the sketches in the appendix.
Part B has 3 main parts, the mold in the form of bend in polymeric materials (piece 2), this mold is made threaded around the part (1) so as to seal. Room 1 is activated by the square "shaft" coming from the top. Exhibit 1 shown at (sheet 1 \ 3 and 3 \ 3) is a cylinder with an opening allowing to leave pass the water to meet the standards for standpipes.
This piece is made of stainless steel and has a "groove" on the side where it there is no pressure when the fire hydrant is closed, so to drain the water remaining in the standpipe when it is closed. The groove in the part (1) and the hole (3) (see drawing 3 \ 3) being aligned when closed it does not accumulate water.
You will notice on my drawing 1 \ 3 that the part "C" can be done of composite or polymer materials. They're done (part C) so as to be flanged together and also to part B and part AT.

Claims

AMENDMENT
CLAIM
Claim 1: A device used to supply water either fire trucks, garden hoses or everything other devices including a locking system at the base of a ball perforated transversely to the diameter required to pass the distri-drink, contained in a cage allowing to be dismantle by a tree which molts this so-called active ball operated by a clutch located in the upper part of said device, the envelope of which protects internal mechanisms is made of composite materials and / or polymer.
Claim 2: An apparatus for supplying and / or distributing water as defined in claim 1 in which the clutch is formed by a worm actuated by a bolt located outside the velope of said bolt and the worm allowing to move a "nut" on the axis of said screw moving horizontally in a U-shaped room so as to unlace this so-called U-shaped piece in a movement from 0 to 95 degrees allowing a tree to molt the position of said ball.
Claim 3: A device for dispensing water such as defined in claims 1 and 2, wherein internal and external parts are made of materials composite and / or polymer.
Claim 4: An apparatus for dispensing water such as defined in claims 1,2 and 3 wherein the parts of said shaft are made of steel and so cut in specific places in case of rupture.
Claim 5: A device for dispensing water such as defined in claims 1,2,3 and 4 in which a piece of composite and / or polymeric material develops the clutch to make it functional, protected from water or any other product that can interfere with the proper functioning of the device all capable of withstanding shocks according to standards, the whole ble of the envelope can be dismantled so as to put on maintenance or repair.

AMENDMENT
CLAIM
Claim 6: A device for the distribution of water such as defined in claims 1,2,3,4 and 5 in which a tree can be dismantled in section and protect in a material envelope composite and / or polymer, this so-called envelope protecting the tree connecting said ball and the graining, will be connected with bolted flanges adjacent parts of said device.
Claim 7: A device used for the distribution of water such as defined in claims 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 in which the plugs blocking the outlets are made of composite and / or polymeric materials with nets that meet standards and can close in order to prevent the water from going out and leaving the air entering to allow the evacuation of water in the part between the ball and the bottom of the gear.
Claim 8: A device for the distribution of water such as defined in claims 1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7 in which there is a 90 degree elbow in matt composite and / or polymer materials for hold the opening and closing ball, said elbow used to connect the water network to the veloppe of the tree.
Claim 9: An apparatus used for the distribution of water such as defined in claims 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8, in which a hole is located in the bottom of the elbow is made so as to allow the evacua-tion of the water located in said envelope between said ball and said gear to operate only when the ball obstructs the entry of water through the network, the hole becomes obstructed by the ball when it becomes open leaving being able to pass the water coming from the network.
Claim 10: A device used for the distribution of water such as defined in claims 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9 in which a steel and / or poly ball mother and / or composite material comes close AMENDMENT
CLAIM
Claim 10: watertight from the network and with (continued) a groove made on the opposite side of the network left being able to pass the water in a gravity way through the hole in the 90 degree elbow when said groove and the hole come in the same vertical axis.
Claim 11: An apparatus for dispensing water such as defined in claims 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10 in which a shape of the base of the elbow allows drain the water so as not to obstruct the hole drainage of said dispensing apparatus.
