Application filed November 12, 1914. Serial No. 871,760.
T 0 all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANK G. SMITH, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and usefu-l Improvements in Sewer-Tanks, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to improvements in sewer tanks, and is designed particularly for the purpose of providing a tank to be used in connection with a sewer basin to distribute oil in the basin.
The primary object of the invention is the provision of means for distributing oil upon the surface of water or sewage contained in a sewer basin for the purpose of eliminating mosquitoes and other insects. For the purpose of eXterminating mosquitoes and other insects in sewer basins, it is customary to pour oil upon the surface of the water contained in the basin. This custom has proven a wasteful one for the reason that the oil which floats upon the surface of the water, overflows and is carried out through the outlet from the sewer basin, and then the oil supply must be replenished. By the utilization of my device, the waste is eliminated and a continuous and regulated supply of oil is furnished to the surface of the. water or sewage in the basin.
The invention consists essentially in a tank which is suspended in novel manner within the opening to the sewer basin, and in providing this tank with means for distributing the oil contained therein, into the sewage .in the basin.
In the accompanying drawings I have illustrated one complete example. of the physical embodiment of my invention constructed according to the best mode I have so far devised for the practical application of the principles of the invention, and in addition I have illustrated adjustable means for distributing the oil from the tank into the sewer basin.
Figure 1 is a sectional view of a portion of a sewer basin with the tank of my invention applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a top plan view broken away of the tank. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view on line 3 3, of Fig. 2. Fig. l is a detail view of a valve for regulating the distribution of oil from the tank.
In the accompanying drawings I have exemplified my invention by illustrating in section a sewer basin as 1, which is walled 1n by the masonry work 2, and provided with the outlet 3, and a manhole 4;. I have illustrated a metallic ring as 5 bounding the upper open end of the manhole 1, and this ring 1s designed to support the cover G, the ring and cover being of metal as usual. These parts thus described are of usual or suitable construction, and are used for the purpose of illustrating the applicability of my invention.
The tank 7, as illustrated in Fig. 1, is located in the upper end of the manhole 4. This tank preferably comprises a thimble 8 cylindrical in form, and closed at its upper end by the cover 9 where a flange 9 is located and extends outwardly therefrom. An integral central tubular wall l0 forms an annular space 11 within the thimble 8. This space 11 which is adapted to contain oil is termed the oil tank, and may be lilled through the inlet 8 (Fig. The tubular wall extends from the flat bottom portion 12 of the tank to the top 9 and provides a predetermined capacity for containing the oil.
I have illustrated two small openings as 13-13 in the bottom of the annular space 11, and these openings are for the purpose of permitting the contained oil to pass therethrough. Preferably the openings are so small that only a drop or two may pass therethrough at a time, and thus conserve the oil in the tank and prevent waste therefrom.
If preferred, the openings 13 may be dispensed with, and I may use an adjustable means for distributing the oil through the bottom 12. In Fig. 4, a needle valve 14 is illustrated to regulate the opening 15 in the tank bottom 12, and this needle valve is supported at 16 in the cover 9. It is observed that the capacity of opening 15 may be regulated by the needle valve, and in this manner the passage of the oil from the tank is governed and predetermined.
In use, the tank is placed in the manhole 4f with the flange 9 resting upon the the flange 17 of the cover ring 5. The oil is then placed in the tank, or it may have been placed in there before the tank was located in position, and then the cover 6 is placed in position on top of the cover 9 and flange v 9 of the tank as shown in Fig. 1, and the oil slowly percolates or drops through the openingsl inthe tank. When the valve 14 is used, the oil will pass through the opening 15 vand the oil flows upon the surface. Vof the sewage or Water 1n the basin, andv even though the surface of the Water in the basin should risesulieiently high to permit `the tank.
From the 'above description taken in connection With my drawings,V it is evident that I have provided a device which fulfils the requirements set forth as the object and purpose of my invention.
I claim:
Atank comprising a cylindrical closed thimble having an upper outer flange and `a central lopen top cylindrical wall forming an open center for the tank and also Van annularreservoir, and vsaid reservoir formed with a perforated bottom between said thimble and cylindrical Wall.
In testimony whereof I aiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
