DRAINAGE AND sEnmENr-coLLEo'rme SEQTION'FOR House-Bones oommxrs. 1

To all whom it may concern:

Be-it known that I, DON CURTIS Loon, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Drainage and Sediment-Collecting Sections for House- Boiler Conduits, of which'the following is aspecifieation.

This invention relates to circulating eonduits used to connect a house boiler with the water front or back of an ordinary kitchen range, the boiler being located adjacent to the range and connected therewith by a flow pipe through whichwater passes from the water front to the boiler, and a return pipe through which the water passesfrom' thedinary pipe T, tyfo ofthe branches of which are connected two alined sections of the return pipe, wh gle the other branch .is con-- nected with a cock which controls the outlet through said brakich.

My invention has for its object to provide, as a substitute for the T heretofore employed, a section or fitting, adapted not only to drain the water from the system, but also to serve as a receptacle for sediment carriedby the water flowing from the boiler to the water front, said sediment being removable by opening the outlet valve of the fitting; The invention consists in the improved conduit :crtion or Tsubstitute which I will now proceed to describe and claim.

Of the accompanying drawings which fol-ma part of this specification,+Figure 1 represents a side view of a house-boiler and parts of'the flow and return pipes which connect the same with the waterfront; the 'return pipe being provided with a drainage and sediment-collecting section embodying myinvention; Fig. 2 represents a side view of the saiddraina-ge and sediment-collecting section, parts (it-the same being broken away, and Fig. 3 represents a sectionon line 3-3 (if-Fig. 2.

Similar reference characters indicate the same or similar parts in all the figures.

Specification of Letters Patentif' Patented Application filed November 9, 1910. Serial No, 591,511.

In the drawings, 12 represents a house boiler which may be of any suitable con struction.- 3 '13 represents the flow pipe which conmeets the water front or back of a rangc' with the upper portion of said boiler, and 14, 14, represent sections of the return pipe which connects the lower portion of the boiler with the water front. Heretofore the other by two alined branches of a pipe T,

thethird branch of which projects downy war'dly from the return" pipe, and is pro vided with a cockwhich, when opera-per? mits the withdrawal of water.

In carrying out my invention I provide asa substitute for the T above referred to,-.a. flask 15, which is a hollow casting having at one end'a contracted neck 16 adapted to be connected with an outlet controllingcock-or valve 17, and at the; opposite end an sections let have been 'connected with each' elongated closed wall 18 extending in. a direetion at right angles with the neck 16. At opposite ends of the wall 18 are formed sockets 19, .19, ,wlYich are in alinement with each other and therefore extend at right angles with the neck 19, saidsocketsbelng adapted to engage the alined pipe sections 14. The neck 16 and the sockets .9 are pref erably each provided with an ir cernal screw thread, the thread of the neck 16 being adapted to engage an external thread on the cock 1?, while the threads of the sockets 19 are adapted to engage external threads ,on the pipe sections 14.

By comparing Figs-2 and 3 it will be seen that the upper end wall 18 is curved to semicylindrical form, while the web portions 19.v

of the sockets are formed as inwardly extending flanges. The inner surfaces of the flanges 19 and theinner surfaces of the upper end wall 18 eoact in forming cylindrical internally threadedlsockets which are entirely within the area of the flask so that ble-to be broken orknocked off. Y The end wall 18 and the sockets19 tak the place of the" transverse or head portion of an ordinary T,- and the body portion'of the flask below said end walls and sockets,

' together withthe neck lfi f ormed thereon, "take the place (f the single'arm portion'of .the T. It will be seen therefore that when the'codk 1'1 is open, water. may be drawn from the systeinas a whole; It will also be seen thatthe body p'ortion of the flask conthere are no projecting nipples that are liastitutes a receptacle for sedirnent below the being of suitable capacit sediment likely to' be considerable p The flask is preferably to contain all the eposited during a eriod of time.

this form ento be supported under the without projecting laterally I W Q-Which the-pipe sections may be in close proximity;

AE-conduit section of the character deys'eribed, comprising loiverf-end acontracted neckiadapted to be ect'ed; 'with anv outlet-controlling cock "2. flask having at its flask having at its upper-end posing portions oblong in cross sec tion so that it has two relatively wide sides 1 and two narrow sides oredges,

abling the flask 10 pipe'sections 14 far enough to interfere with-an adjacent a semi-cylindrical wall extending at right 20 angles with the neck, the flask having inwardly extending semi-cylindrical flanges near its upper'end, said flanges and the opof the said closed wall being internally threaded to form alined sockets for the receptionof threaded pipe sections, the body of the flask between the closed end and meek being unobstructed and constituting a'sediment receptacle, and the flask as a whole constituting a substitution for an ordinary T.- I Intestimony w ereof I have aflixed my signature, in presence of twowitnesses.
