To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that l, HARRY E. THOMPSON,
a citizen of the United States, residing at Three 'ivers, in the county of St. Joseph 5 and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stand- I Pipes, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in standpipes. The main objects of this invention are to provide an improved standpipe or water colu-mn which is simple and economical in structure and not likely to get out of repair orbecome inoperative in use. I
Further objects, and objects relating to structural details, will definitely appear from the detailed description to follow.
I accomplish the objects of my invention by the devices and means described in the following specification. The invention is clearly defined and pointed out in the claims.
A structure which is a preferred embodiment of my invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, in which:
Figure l[ is a detail side elevation of my improved standpipe r water column.
Fig. H is a plan view thereof.
Fig. HT is an enlarged cross section on a line corresponding to line 33 of Figs. l and ill.
Fig. TV is an enlarged cross section on a line corresponding to line H of Figs. T and H Fig. V is an enlarged cross sectioni on the line corresponding to line 5-5 of Figs. l[ and ill.
in the drawing sell reference charac- 40 ters refer to similar parts throughout the several views, and the sectional views are taken looking in the direction of the little arrows at the ends of the section lines.
Referring to the drawing, 1 represents the vertical portion of the standpipe which is provided at its upper end with a laterally directed discharge nozzle 2. The delivery s out 3 is telescopically arranged over the discharge nozzle. The inner end of the discharge spout is of such dimensions as to allow free movement of the spout over the nozzle longitudinally thereol and some movement laterally.
The spout is carried in its movement. on
the nozzle by the carrying wheel l which is mounted on brackets 5 projecting from the rear end of the spout. The wheel in the structure illustrated travels directly on the top of the discharge nozzle, that is, the nozzle itself constitutes a track for the wheel.
The wheel structure illustrated has flanges 6 substantially spaced apart at their peripheries, the flanges being preferably outwardly flared. The supporting arm 7 is mounted to project outwardly over the spout, the supporting arm lacing carried by the bracket 8. This supporting arm in the structure illustrated is formed of a. T-bar disposed with its center leg downwardly and constitutes a guide for the wheel in its travel on the spout, the top f the Wheel being at all times engaged therewith, that is, in coacting relation to the arm. This guides the wheel in its travel and prevents its being displaced by twisting or other stresses upon the spout.
Un the under side of the arm is a rest 9 for the spout when in its elevated position.
The suspending cables 10 are connected to a saddle 11 embracing the spout, the sad dle being provided with pintles l2 for the couplings 13. The cables pass over pulleys Mon the supporting arm, the guide pulleys 15 on the bracket 8 to the counterweight 16. A chain 17 limits the outward movement of the spout.
With this arrangement of parts the spout may be conveniently manipulated to raise and lower it to position, and further has the advantage of being simple and economical in structure and very durable in use.
l[ have illustrated one embodiment of my invention as constructed for the market. l have not attempted to illustrate or describe certain modifications and adaptations which I contemplate as T believe the disclosure made will enable those skilled in the art to which my invention relates to embody or adapt the same as may be desired.
Having thus described my invention, what claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
l. hr'a water column or standpipe, the combination of a vertical pipe, a laterally projecting discharge nozzle therefor, a discharge spout telescopically arranged over said discharge spent, a flanged carrying wheel for the inner end of said spout mounted on' a bracket projecting at the rear end thereof and traveling directly on the top of the nozzle, the flanges of the wheel being operatively associated with said arm Whereby said arm constitutes a guide for the wheel, a supporting cable for said spout, and a guide pulley for said cable carried by said arm.
2. In a water column or standpipe, the combination of a vertical pipe, a laterally projecting nozzle therefor, a discharge spout telescopically arranged over said discharge nozzle, an arm disposed over said discharge spout, a flanged carrying wheel for the inner end of said spout traveling on the nozzle, the flanges of the wheel being operatively associated with said arm whereby said arm constitutes a guide for the wheel, a supporting cable for said spout, and a guide pulley for said cable carried by said arm.
3. In a water column or standpipe, the combination of a vertical pipe, a laterally projecting discharge nozzle therefor, a discharge spout telescopically arranged over said discharge nozzle, a supporting arm for said spout, and a flanged carrying wheel for the inner end of said spout mounted on a bracket projecting at the rear end thereof and traveling directly on the top of the nozzle, the flanges of the wheel being operatively associated with said arm whereby said arm constitutes a guide for the Wheel.
4. In a water column or standpipe, the combination of a vertical pipe, a laterally projecting discharge nozzle therefor, a discharge spout telescopically arranged over said discharge-nozzle, a supporting arm for said spout, and a flanged carrying wheel for the inner end of said spout trave ing on the nozzle, the flanges of the wheel being operatively associated with said arm whereby said arm constitutes a guide for the wheel. 5. In a water column or standpipe, the combination of a vertical pipe, a laterally projecting discharge nozzle therefor, a dis charge spout telescopically arranged over said discharge nozzle, an arm disposed over said discharge spout, a carrying wheel at the inner end of said spout traveling directly on the top of the nozzle, said arm constituting a guide for the wheel, a sup orting cable for said spout, and a guide pu ley for said cable carried by said arm.
6. In a water column or standpipe, the combination of a vertical pipe, a laterally projecting discharge nozzle therefor, a discharge spout telescopically arranged over said discharge nozzle, an arm disposed over said discharge spout, a carrying wheel at the inner end of said spout traveling on the nozzle, said arm constituting a guide for the wheel, a supporting cable for said spout, and a guide pulley for said cable carried by said arm.
7. In a water column or standpipe, the combination of a vertical pipe, a laterally projecting discharge nozzle therefor, a discharge spout telescopically arranged over said discharge nozzle, a spout supporting arm above said nozzle, and a carrying wheel at the inner end of said spout traveling on said nozzle, said arm constituting a guide for the wheel.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal in the presence of two witnesses;
HARRY E. THOMPSON. a 8.]
