EDWARD C. PERRY, OF WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR T0 AMERICAN CAR SPRINKLER CO., OF WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS, A CORPORATION OF MASSA- CHUSETTS.
CAR-SPRINKLER TANK.
Patented Oct. 8,1912.
Application filed May 21, 1910.; Serial No. 562,595.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Eowann ("a Pnnur, a citizen of the United States, residing at l'Vorcester, in the county of \Vorccster and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Car-Sprinkler Tank, of which the following is a specifimition.
This invention relates to railway sprinklers and is particularly adapted for use on electrical street railways.
The principal object of the invention is to provide means in the tank for preventing undue strains due to the flow of the Water longitudinally in the tank.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will appear hereinafter.
Ret'erence to be had to the accompanying drawings in which Figure 1 is a side view of a tank constructed in accordance with this invention, parts being broken away to show ii'lterior construction. Fig. 2 is a sectional view on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a horizontal longitudinal sectional view of the same on a horizontal-line above the bottom of the tank.
The tank 15 is shown provided with a bottom having a central low portion 16 having" anoutlet 17 therein and having sloping parts 18 extending'up from this lower portion gradually t.o*the ends of the tank. At one end of the tank, that is, at one or the highest portions oi. the bottom, is an inlet 19.
The tank is formed ol sl steel, preferably made up of pieces ha riveted and ca'lked joints as is well unzl ood in the artot boiler making. It is prrwided at one end with an opcn'top man hole and at-the other end with an open top pipe 21. The pipe 21 is a vent pipe and is lel't open for the purpose of preventimr the compression of the air at the end 01. the tank when the car goes down at that end and the Formation of a vacuum when it. goes up at, that end. in order further to avoid the ordinary olleets of the rush of water back and torth in the tank, it is provided with splash plates 22 and 2 They are arranged vertically in the tank between the center and one end and extend from the top to the bottom, thus adding to the strength of the tank by an- (-horing, the bottom to the top. They are arranged intransverse alinement across the tank but are spaced apart far enougnso that a man can pass between them.
lhe plates 22 are between the center and one end of the tank and the plates 23 between the center and the other end. They are made so as to break joints, that is, each plate 23 is substantially opposite afspace between two of the plates 22 and vice versa. In this way, the flow of water through the spaces between the plates 22 toward the plates 23 will be forced to divide and be divided part one way and part the other. This etl'ectually breaks up the direct currents of water from one end to the other and materially reduces the shocks of such a flow.
Vhile I have illustrated and described a preferred embodiment of the invention, I am aware that many modifications can be made therein by any person skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention as expressed in the claim. Therefore, do not: wish to be limited to all the details of construction shown and described, but
\Vhat I do claim is:-
A. water tank for a street sprinkler car,
made up of metal plates riveted together and provided with a plurality ol. rows of splash plates extending \"Cl'tlflllly from the bottom to the top and secured both to the bottom and top, said splash plates having vertical spaces between them, the splash plates of one set beil'ig located substantially opposite the spaces between the splash plates of the next set.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
