HARRY L. DAVIS, OF SARATOGA SPRINGS, NEW YORK.
AUTOMATIC WATER-FEED FOR POULTRY.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HARRY L. DAVIS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Saratoga Springs, in the county of Saratoga and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Automatic -Water-Feed for Poultry, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to apparatus for automatically regulating the supply of water from a holding receptacle, to a drinking receptacle, designed to be used by poultry.
An important object of my invention is to provide apparatus of the above mentioned character, which is so constructed that a large quantity of water may be held in a tank or barrel, and a small quantity of the same supplied to the poultry drinking receptacle or pan, in an automatic manner, as the water level therein is lowered by the water being drunk by the poultry.
A further object of the invention is to pro vide apparatus of the above mentioned character, which is so constructed that the same cannot be operated by the poultry except by the same drinking the water which results in a lowering of the level thereof.
A further object of the invention is to provide apparatus of the above mentioned character which may be adjusted so that different depths of water may be constantly main tained in the drinking receptacle or pan.
Other objects and advantages of this invention will be apparent during the course of the following description.
In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, the figure is a side elevation of the complete apparatus, parts thereof being shown in central longitudinal section, for the sake of illustration.
In the drawings, wherein is illustrated a preferred embodiment of my invention, the numeral 1 designates a water holding or supply receptacle, which may be either a tank or barrel, the same being preferably vertically arranged and supported by any suitable means. Connected with the lower end of the preferably vertically arranged water holding receptacle 1 is a preferably horizontal feed pipe 2, having screw-threaded connection at its free end with a T-coupling 3. This T-coupling, at its upper end, has screwthreaded connection with a preferably vertically arranged pipe 4, receiving a valve rod or link 5 therein.
The numeral 6' designates a relatively large Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed August 27, 1913.

Serial No. 786,891.
and heavy valve, formed of iron or the like, having a cylindrical body portion 7 and a tapered or conical upper portion 8, decreas ing in diameter upwardly. Connected with the upper end of the conical portion 8 is a link 9 receiving a link 10, whereby the valve 6 has a free pivotal connection with the rod 5. The valve 6 has a conical end 11, decreasing in diameter downwardly. The conical end 11 is adapted to enter a tubularvalve-seat 12 having screw-threaded engagement with the lower end of the T-coupling 3, as shown. The upper end of the tapered end 11 is su'l'liciently large to fit snugly within the bore of the tubular-valve-seat 12. The tubular-valve-seat 12 has its upper end tapered to provide an annular knife edge 13, which engages the lower end of the cylindrical portion 7 of the valve 6, when the valve is seated. The function of having the tubular-valve-seat provided with the knife edge 13 is to provide means for preventing the accumulation of sediment or deposits upon the lower end of the valve 6, the tapered end 11 serving to remove deposits from the inner wall of the tapered knife edge, by slidable engagement therewith.
Connected with the upper end of the vertical pipe 1 is a bracket 14, to which is pivoted a vertically swinging lever 15, having one end thereof pivotally connected with the upper end of the valve rod 5, as shown at 16. Pivotally connected with the opposite end of the lever 15, as shown at 17, is an operating rod 18, the same being provided with a turn buckle 19, whereby its length may be increased or decreased. Connected with the lower end of the T-coupling 3 and extending laterally therefrom is a horizontal arm 20, apertured for receiving the reciprocatory operating rod 18. At its lower end the rod 18 has pivotal connection, as shown at 21, with an arm 22, which is attached to oneend of a vertically swinging float 23. Connected with the opposite end of the float 23 is an apertured bracket 24, receivingthe horizontal arm of an L- shaped supporting rod 25, to be pivotally connected therewith. The vertical arm of the L-shaped supporting rod 25 extends through an opening 26in the arm 20, and is screw-threaded for receiving clamping nuts 27, disposed upon the upper and lower sides of the arm 20. The vertical arm of the supporting rod 25 does not have screwthreaded engagement with the wall of the opening 26, and the same is raised and lowered by proper manipulation of the clamping nuts 27. It is thus seen that by raising and lowering the supporting rod 25 and adjusting the length of the connecting rod 18, the depth of the water level in the pan or drinking receptacle )8, receiving the float 23 therein, may be permanently regulated. Attention is called to the fact that the float 23 is advantageously located directly beneath the coupling 3 and pipe 2, the same being thus protected, whereby the apparatus cannot be operated by the poultry except by them drinking the water.
In the operation of the apparatus, when the water level in the drinking pan or receptacle 28 falls below a predetermined depth, the float 23 descends, drawing operating rod 18 downwardly, which in turn swings lever 15 to elevate valve 6. When the valve 6 is elevated or unseated, the water passes from the holding receptacle 1 through pipe 2 and discharges into the pan 28, such discharge continuing until the desired water level is restored, at which time 7 the valve 6 is automatically returned to its closed or seated position, as 1s obvious.
5, to wit, the fact that said valve is free to partake of independent lateral move- 'ments, whereby the tapered end 11 thereof my invention, I

The combination with a water holding receptacle, of a laterally extending pipe connected therewith, an upstanding valve casing connected with the discharge end of the pipe and provided near its lower end with a valve seat, a valve movably moimted within the upstanding valve casing to engage and disengage the valve seat, a lever pivotally connected with the upper end of the upstanding valve casing to swing in a substantially vertical plane, a rod connecting the lever and valve, an approximately L-shaped supporting rod connected with the lower end of the valve casing with its lower arm extending beneath the laterally extending pipe, a float pivotally connected with the free end of the lower arm of the L- shaped supporting rod,"a rod connecting the opposite end of the float and the pivoted lever, float. r V
