AUTOMATIC CUT-OFF.
APPLICATION man 050.41 1915 mwmn Q l h mlllli Hum WNW; use co attozwuz Patentd Apr. 11,1916.
WILLIAM A. IBEINKE, OF WEBSTER, IOWA.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM A. BEINKE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Webster, in the county ofKeokuk and State provide a vertical tube 1 of Iowa, have invented new and useful Improvements in Automatic Cut-Offs, of which the following is a'specification. V
This invention is an improved automatic cut off for use on'rain water conductor pipes for carrying rain from a roof and storing the same in a cistern, tank, or the like, the ob ect of the invention being to, provide an improved device of this character which automatically causes the rain water to'be dise' charged upon the ground until the roof has been thoroughly rinsed and then changes the course of the water and causes it .to be discharged into a reservoir, cistern,- or the like and thus prevents dust or dirt from being discharged into the cistern with the rain water.
The invention consists in the features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, hereinafter fully described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which;
Figure 1 is a side elevation of an automatic cut off constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the same. tional view of the same onthe-plane indicated-by' the line wa of Fig. 2.
In the embodiment of my invention, .1 which is connected to a down spout 2 and 'is arranged to discharge into a cistern or other suitable reservoir such as indicated'at 3, and I also provide a tubular waste spout or arm 4 which extends from one side of the tube 1 and is arranged in an inclined position. The tube 1 and the Waste discharge arm 4 thereof are each here shown as rectangularin cross sec tion. A cut ofl valve 5 is provided which is] arranged in the member 1' and is provided at its lower side with a pivotingshaft 6 which 1 is mounted in bearings in opposite sides of the member 1 and the said out oifvalve is adapted to be turned to a vertical position to close across the inner end. of the waste arm 4 and cut off communication between the- 1 member 1 and the member 4 and iie said valve is also adapted to be arrange in an inchned position across the, member 1 so as to 0 en the inner end of themember 4 and esta lish communication between the said AUTOMATIC CUT-OFF.

members. A lever arm 7 is attached to one i end of the pivoting shaft 6 and a bucket or other suitable receptacle 8 is suspended from said lever arm as at 9. A coiled retractile spring 10 has its upper end attached to, an ear 11 on one side of the member 1 and its lower end attached to the lever arm 7 as at 12, the said spring serving to normally close the valve in the member 1 and hence open the inner end of the member 2 and establish communication between said members so that the first rain which falls upon'the roof will be deflected by the valve from the member 1 into the member 4 and ence discharged upon the ground and prevented voir.
' A discharge s out 13 of reduced capacity leads downward y from the member 4 and is arranged at one side thereof and is adapted to discharge into. the bucket or other receptacle suspended from the lever arm.
A controlling valve 14 is pivotally mounted as at 15 in the armor member 4 and may be arranged at any desired angle in said arm or member to deflect any desired proportion of the water passing through the member 4 to the spout 13 and hence to the bucket.
This controlling valve may be secured in any desired adjusted position by means of a screw 16 which extends upwardly from its free end and operates in a' curved slot 17 in theupper side of the arm 4, said screw being provided with a clamping nut 18. Hence, the bucket may be filled with rain water rapidly orslowly as may be desired and according to'the superficial area of the roof; When the bucket becomes filled with water, its weight overcomes the tension of the spring and causes the-lever to move the valve 5 to a vertical position in the tubular member 1 thus causing said valve to cut ofl" communication between the members 1 and 4 so that the rain ater thereafter passes.
directly into the cistern or reservoir. g It is believed-that from the foregoing description thenature and advantagesofthe invention will'bereadily apparent without requiring a more extendedexplanation and therefore the same has been omitted. However, I desire to have it understood that various changes in the construction, and ar rangement of the parts may be resorted to when desired as fall within the scope of the appended claims.
from entering the cistern or reser- Having described the invention, What is claimed is:
1. The herein described automatic cut-off comprising a pipe for connection to a down spout and to discharge into a cistern or the like, a Waste pipe at an angle to and leading from the first named pipe, a cut 0H valve in the first-named pipe to cut oil or establish communication .betWeen the same and the Waste pipe, a spring to normally close said valve across the main pipe, a lever connected to said valve to operate the same, a vessel suspended from said lever, a spout connected to the bottom of the Waste pipe, near one side thereof and arranged to discharge into the vessel, and a controlling valve in said Waste pipe pivotally connected thereto at the same side thereof as the spout and movable toward and from said side to control the quantity of Water discharged into the vessel by said spout.
2., The herein described automatic cut-oft comprising a pipe for connection to a down spout and to discharge into a cistern or the like, a Waste pipe at an angle to and leading from the first-named pipe, a cut-0E valve in the first named pipe to cut off or establish communication between the same and the Waste pipe, a spring to normally close said valve across the main pipe, a lever connected to said valve to operate the same, a vessel suspended from said lever, a spout connected to the bottom of the Waste pipe, near one side thereof and arranged to discharge into the vessel, a controlling valve in said Waste pipe pivotally connected thereto at the same side thereof as the spout and movable to- Ward and from said side to control the quantity of Water discharged into the vessel by said spoutfthe said Waste pipe having a curved slot in its upper side and said controlling valve having an adjusting screw arranged for movement in said slot.
in testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of tWo Witnesses.
