R. E. JACKSON.
LOCOMOTWE WASHiNG APPARATUS.
APPuc/mma mas AFR. I8, 1914.
- Pat-entad- Am: 2?,1 91 1.
' a ncmoa filed April is,
To all ur/m'm' zt'mag concern Be it known that ii, lilonnn'r E. JACKSON, a citizen of the United Etates, residing at Victoriaf in the county of Lunenhurg and Etaioof Virginia, have invented new and usei il Improvements in Looonioti ediashing kpparatus, of which the following is a specification.
present invention pertains to. the
m "washing of locomotives and other vehicles oonipanyir machines; and it contemplates the proision of a washing: apparatus constructed with a. iew .ng 2o ac a lowoil coinnii fled with hot water, the us: of the oil ith. 'he wa" being male ous, since contributes to 'ially v that I have as yet devised.
Referring by numeral to the said.drawing: 1 is a tank desigl'ied to contain a lowgrade oil, such crude oil or tuel Oil. The
said tank is provided at 2 with a filling funnel, and the conduit 3 intermediate said funnel and the tank is-equipped with a cut- 05 valve which is designed to he closed after the tank charged with oil. I also prefer to provide the tank 1 with a glass gage 5 to enable the attendant to perceive the height of oil in' the tank. This gage, however, is l'lOfUSSUilt-lfll to the proper op eration of the apparatus, and it may therefore be omitted, if desired, without aii'ecting my invention.
i G is a pipe designed to be connected at the end with a pump or an injector for sup plying hot water from a boiler or other "suitable source of supply, under a proper head. The said pipe (3 is connected through a pipe 8 and a pipe 9 with the bottom of the tanlrxl, and the pipe 8 is provided at its end remote from the pipe 6 with a drain cock 10, to facilitate cleaning of the tank 1, when the same is necessary. During the operatioi-i of my apparatus, the said drain cook 19 is closed.
specification of Letters 2mm.
Apr.
1914:. Serial No]. 32,771
The pipe 6 is connected at its for ard end to casing 11, and the said casing is designed to be connected to a hose 30 having a suitable nozzle (not shown). Within the casing 13. the pipe 6 is provided with a discharge nozzle 13, and this latter is preferably, though not necessarily, provided with a C'll'filllitl series of minute apertures lei.
Connected atone end to the upper portion of the tank 1 is an oil conduit or pipe 15, comparatively small in diameter. The. lower end of v sa d pi e if) leads at 16 iinlo the wall o" i'zozio 13, and con'nnunicates c ior of the said with nozzle. At a sui'ahle point in length, and pre lerably ad acent the tank 1e pipe is provided with an oil-regal ting valve 17, the said valve being provided on its stem with a pointer 18, designed 0 cooperate with an arci'iate graduated scale 19. By turning); the valve 1? through the medium of the pointer 12 a, definite proportion of oil is obtained, and the said proportion can be varied by adjusting the valve and depending on the pointer in combination with the scale 19 to indicate the proportion of oil. At 20' the pipe 8 is provided with a non-return valve,
arranged to open toward the tank 1.
in the practical operation of my novel apparatus, hot water under a suitable head is forced through the pipe 6 in the direirtion indicated by arrow. A portion of the water will pass the valve 20 and enter the tank 1, and will displace the ioil from the tank, and force it through thcpipo 15. The remainder of the water willpass throughout the length of the pipe (3, and at the nozzle 1?) will take up and become colnn'iinglcd with the oil, and when the conuninglcd oil and hot water is forced through the hose 3i.) and against the locomotive or other nuu-hiuc' to ho washed, the painted parts of the machine will be thoroughly cleansed. and yet there will he no bleaching or other deterioration of the paint.
Vi hilo i have disclosed the preferred 0111- "forsupplying hot water under t propel head aha connected with therear end of the" V casing, said pipe having a contracted disnected with the forward end of said casing, -a pipe adapted to be connected with means charge in. the. oi-neat a nozzle extending forwardly 111 said egrsmg, a conduit intermediate the pipe anil'the tank and opening into the bottom of the tank; said conduit baiting a valved drain outlet, and a-comparatively-small conduit for oil interposed between the tzihk and the casing and having its discharge end extending into the and connected with the interioi' nqz zle on the pipe at an intermediate point in it! the length of said nozzle. 1 v In testimony whereof I have hereunto set I my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses. y I
