Description
s. s. MOYBR. SIPHON.V
Paten-'ced Mar. 15, 1870.
din-iisd' gieten SOLOMON S. MOYER, OF-ALLENTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA.
'Letters Patent N 100,786, dated March 15, 1870.
. -W- mrnovnmzm'r 1N sxrnoNs.
The Schedule `referred to in these Lettera Patent and making part of the sama.
I, SOLOMON MOYER, f Allentown, in the county .of Lehigh, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a 'new-and useful Improvement in Siphons for transport-ing Water and other Fluids, of which the following is a specification.
The natu'rcof my invention' consists iu the combination af a vertical tube and faucet with the siphonpipe, insuch amanner as to arrest or regulate the flow of water through the Siphon.v
i, To enable 'others skilledju the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.
The drawing represents a vertical section through the Aimproved siphon A `und the reservoir B, from which water flows into the receiving end 1.
I imbed the pipe A irpthe ground beneath the surface, of suiicient depth to protect it" from the frost, extending it over any n 'uinber of hills() that may be required to reach thel point to which the water-has to be transported. f l
The bend at the point 2 I make lower than the receiving end 1, to produce suction.
The pipe at the point 3 is higher than the receiving en`d,and if extended no' further would be merely a common siphon, and the water would be retained Should the supply be cut off. But if it should be extended so as to have its discharging end as represented, lower than the receiving end, the water would still run out afterit ceased 'to run in at the receiving end, and asuction would be produced whereby the pipe would be emptied of its contents.
In' order to retain the water in the siphon, to pro- -vide for any .contingency which might arise to prevent the supply of water or other nid to be transported, I connect a vertical tube, I), with the pipe A at the point 3, which, as has been said, is higher than the' receiving end of the pipe. This tube is open at its upper end, to provide for a column of air to press upon water in the pipe A at that point. Then, it' the water should at any time cease to ow 'into the receiving end, although it will run out of the discharging end beyond the vertical tube D, the pressure of the column of air in the tube upon the water at this point counteracts the suction, whereby the water is retained in the Siphon.
I provide the tube D with a faucet, E, for regulating the discharge of water from the pipe A ,This is effected by turning the key F so as to regulate the arca of air bearing upon the water at the point 3, and thus allowing the water to press forward with more or less force, so as to be discharged in snicientquantity in a given time to suit the demand.
It must readily 'appear that when a Siphon has its discharging end prolonged, as represented in the drawing, that without the device just described the Siphon would be emptied of its contents when the supply should be cut oi at its receiving end, and much loss 4 of time and expense Would be incurred in setting it to work again, especially if the 4pipe A should be of considerable length. v
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Let- Vters Extent, is-
.lhe combination of the vertical tube D and faucet E with the pipe A, the said parts being constructed and arranged in relation to each other substantially in the manner and for the purpose setforth.
In testimony that the above is my invention I have hereunto set my hand and aixed my seal, this 18th day of December, 1869.
