STAND-PIPE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 10, 1912.
Application filed April 15, 1912. Serial No. 691,012.
1'0 on whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Moses M. Moonn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Stand-Pipes, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in stand-pipes used at the side of railroad tracks for supplying water to-the tenders of locomotives, and especially to stand-pipes of the character employing a spout-section movable up and down for insertion-into the water-inlet of the tender to-be filled. Standpipes of this character as hitherto commonly provided are objectionable, as movement of the tender along the track, after the outletsection .of the stand-pipe hasbeen inserted into the water-inlet of the tender, often re-v sults either in tearing said spout-section from the supporting column of the standpipe, or throwing the entire standpipe to the ground.
My object is to avoid danger of impairment of the stand-pipe from this cause by the provision of suitable means for this purpose which shall be simple of construction and economical of manufacture.
For the purposes of illustration I have chosen to show my invention as embodied in a stand-pipe of a certain type thereof, the stand'pipe illustrated as to its general features being like that disclosed in U. S. Letters Patent No. 1,000,10l, granted to me on August 8, 191.1. for stand-pipes, though it is not my intention that I be understood as intending to limit my invention to its use in connection with this particular construction, or type, of stand-pipe.
Referring to the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 is a view in elevation of the stand pipe disclosed in said Letters Patent, equippedwith my improvement, this View showing the spout in position for discharging water into a tender the top of which latter, containing the water-inlet for the tender and into which the discharge-end of the spout extends, being illustrated in broken vertical sectional elevation; and Fig. 2, an enlarged section taken at the line 2 on Fig. 1 and viewed in the direction of the arrow.
As the stand-pipe illustrated is disclosed in said Letters Patent, it will be suificient to describe, in general, only those parts thereof which have a bearing on the use of my improvements.
'The upright water-conducting column of the stand-pipe is represented at 3 and terminates in a laterally extending pipe-section Cooperating with the section t is a eounterweighted spout 5 which telescopes with the section d and supported on the column 3 by means of rollers 6 which are stand-pipe, as for example, the tender of.
which a portion of the top is represented at 8 and contains the water-inlet 9.
In carrying out. my invention in the preferred manner I provide on the discharge end of the spout 5, close to its lower edge, laterally extending diametrically opposed arms 10 which are rigidly secured to the spout 5 and are of sulficient length to ex tend beyond the opening 9 regardless of the position of the spout in said opening. The arms 10 incline upwardly and the spout 5, when it is drawn down to the position illustrated for discharging water into the tender, rests at these arms upon the surrounding wall of the opening, as illustrated. Should. the tender, after the spout 5 is positioned in the opening 9, as described, move in either direction on the track, the spout 5 will be lifted out of the opening 9 as the wall of said opening which is moved toward the spout 5 will travel aga nst the arm 10 resting thereon, thereby raising said arm and with it the spout 5. Thus instead of the spout interlocking with the wall of the opening 9, in the event of movement of the tender on the track, and tearing the spout 5 from the column 3 or dragging down the entire stand-pipe structure, the spout will, by rising as stated. be'moved into a position in which it will not interlock with the wall of the opening 9, and thus impairment thereto is avoided.
While I have illustrated a specific embodiment of my invention, I do not wish to be understood as intending to limit it to such I when the tender moves, for the purpose set forth. i
2. In a stand-pipe formed with a vertically-adjustable outlet-section for insertion into the inlet-opening" of a tender, means on said outlet-section cooperating with the tender for lifting said section when the tender moves, for the purpose set forth.
3. In a stand-pipe formed with a'verti cally-adjustable outlet-section for insertion into the inlet-opening of a tender, oppositely-extending members on said section cooperating with the tender for lifting said section when the tender moves, for the purpose set forth.
sitely-extending positioned on said section to engage with the 4. In a stand-pipe formed with a verticoolly-adjustable outlet-section for insertion into the inlet-opening of a tender, oppositely-extending arms on said section at which the stand-pipe rests on the tender, operating to lift said section when the tender moves, for the purpose set forth.
5. In astand-pipe formed with a vertically-adjustable outlet-section for insertion into the inlet-opening of a tender, an upwardly inclined arm positioned on said sectionto engage with a wall of said opening for lifting said section when the tender moves.
" 6. In a stand-pipe formed with a verti: cally adjustable outlet-section for insertion into the inlet-opening of a tender, oppoupwardly-inclined arms wall ofsaid opening for lifting said section when the tender moves.
