Class 34.

L. SCHMIDT, W. SCHMIDT and G. KISSNER in BERLIN. Indoor fountain.

Patented in the German Empire on April 5, 1878.

The apparatus consists of the water reservoir ^ 4; on this stands the air pump B. The container A also has an air tube c, which establishes the connection between the air chamber F and this vessel through fine holes. A riser pipe D opens from the bottom of the container into the upper half of the second reservoir E.

Air pipe C and riser pipe D are surrounded by a jacket F , which forms the aforementioned air chamber. The air supply pipe of the air pump opens into this boiler. Furthermore, a pipe G leads through the air chamber F , which enables the direct drainage from the glass bowl into the container Ä .

The second container E is attached to the air chamber F. Both communicate through a pipe with a cock c. In the reservoir E there is still space for the pipes /, H and K. Of these, I, ending in a point at the top and provided with a cock Z , is the actual spring tube, while the others are used for a tight seal. The tube / is cut off at an angle at the lower end and almost reaches the bottom of the container E. The glass bowl M is screwed tightly onto container E by means of two rubber washers by means of tube L. A tap d is attached to this pipe L , which is usually below the level of the water in M.

On the container A there is also a tap a, which is used to let out the air during filling. There is also a b on the floor that can be opened to empty the entire apparatus.

The apparatus now functions in the following way:

After you have brought water into E , opened cock d and α , and for faster filling also provided cock c and z, i.e. container A with sufficient water, you shut the mentioned cocks again, open cock g and turn on the air pump B. Operation. This is done by hand; the lever i can easily be moved up and down without bending down. When container F is adequately supplied with air, tap g is closed in order to relieve the ball valves in the valve housing. During the pumping, the air in F and A has been compressed; water consequently passes through pipe D into the upper reservoir E and here also compresses the air. If you now open the tap ζ, the water escapes in a calm, even stream through the fine opening of the pipe /.

When the glass bowl M is filled with water, you open tap d, furthermore tap α and the water finds its way back through pipe L, pipe K and finally through pipe G to the container A left first. This return can be accelerated by opening valve c and thereby giving the air a further path to escape.

With this device there is no loss of water and therefore only that which has evaporated To replace water.

Should the water have to be renewed because of the fish etc. living in the glass container, this is done simply by opening taps d and b and letting it drain, then shut off tap b, but open tap a and event, c and pour fresh water in M. Then, after the taps have closed, the air pump is set in motion and the water jumps again.

Is the Begiefsen of flowers used too much water, so that DAF's the bottom of the table flowers covered so the same can by opening the cock 0 easily removed.

This facility prevents the flower roots from rotting and thus spoiling Flowers bent forward.
