To aZZ 'whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, hln'rifarrnii.V M. CHANDLER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Woodland, in the county of Yolo and State of California, have in- 'vented a new and useful Improvement in Siphons, of which the following is a specification.
vMy invention is an improvement in siphons and has for its object to provide a deviceV of the character specified, especially designed for use in transferring water from irrigating ditches to the fields to be irrigated, wherein a exible tubeis connected with the delivery end of the siphon having a greater cross sectional area at its outlet than at its inlet, to decrease the velocity of the water, and to spread the discharging Water in a flat sheet parallel with the ground, to reduce the corroding effect of the water upon the land, and to provide means for stopping siphonic action when desired.
In the drawings Y Y Figure 1 is a side view of the improved Siphon,
Fig. 2 is a delivery end,
Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the delivery end showing the outlet in closed position.
In the present embodiment of the invention the rigid portion of the siphon consists of a short leg l, a long leg 2 and a connectpartial vertical section at the ing portion 3, and the rigid portion of the siphon is adapted to be arranged as shownV in Fig. 1, with the short leg dipping into the water of the irrigating ditch 4L, and with the long leg delivering onto Y the ground. The outlet for the 'long leg of the siphon is a flexible tube 5 which increases in cross Y sectional area from the connected to the free v end.
- stance when removing leg 2 from the Water,
said means comprising a loop 8V of flexible material which encircles the tube, and is passed througha ring 9 connected to the band 6 by means of chains 10. The'loopS l is provided with an enlargement in the form of a knob or button 11 for preventing disengagement of the loop from the ringrand for forming a handle for the loop.
In operation, whenthe siphon has been completely emersed in the liquid, the outlet end may be closed by pulling the loop tightly as shown in Fig.A 3, and the Siphon will remain sealed and primed while being placed in position.
In addition, the weight of the Ywater will tend to flatten the outlet tube as indicated in Figs. 1 and 2, thus delivering the water in a thin sheet or layer. creased velocity kthe carrying power or corroding effect of thev water is greatly reduced and because of the spreading of the water, the wash on the land is greatly re# duced. l Y
Moreover, the tube directs the water from the discharge in such manner that the water vis well distributed andquickly, By pulling the free end of the tube taut, the flow of the water may be quickly stopped and the sus-V pending of the ring from the end of the metallic tubereleases all strain from the flexible collapsible tube.
It will be noted from an inspection of Fig. l that the end of the leg l is beveled as ble collapsible tube having Vone end fitting around Vthe effluei'it leg of the Siphon and secured thereto, said tube increasing in cross sectional area toward its free end, in order to decrease thervelocity ofthe Waterk flowV and to deliver the water in a sheetY or layer Because of the de- A -indicated at 12 on a surface approximately approximately parallel with the surface of the flexibleY tube to flatten on the ground,` a'han..
