RICHARD JOHNSON GIBBONS, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURL WEPRUVEFWENT IN-RAILRQAD TANK FEEDERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. ildtlhdlitt, dated June 24, 1873; application filed November 22, 1872. 4
poses by the Locomotive; and do declare the following to be a full, exact, and complete description of the same,\reierring by letters to the accompanying drawing.
Figure 1 represents a plan of the machine or apparatus embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is an elevation ot' the same.
A A shows two horizontal beams placed in the center of the railroad track, parallel with the rails b I), and extending each way from the nniin shat't U and the small shalt 0. These beams aremadc of iron or wood; and, if wood, iron cog-plates should be securely fastened to the under side. These beams are placed on rollers and guides to allow them a reciprocating motion over the cog-wheels c e. A rubber plate or spring, d, is fastened on the ends of these beams to prevcntjarring when the 1000- motive is brought in contact with them.
I do not confine myself to any particular size or length of beams, as they can bemade of any size or length corresponding with the work for which they are intended.
These beams are then brought in contact with the locomotive by means of a dropleve'r on the locomotive under the control of the engineer, and made to pass over the wheels 0 c, revolving the shaft 0 and its wheel [3 in the cogs on the weight-shaft l1, and thus elevating the weight as high as the beams will permit. The shaft U is connected to the weight-shaft at one end, and the beams at the other. The large wheel E is placed on the main shaft, and communicates the power of the descending weight to a smaller wheel, f, and to a pump.
This wheel can be made of iron or wood, and
with cogs on its circumference, or can be run by a belt. This wheel revolves but one way,
and is prevented from turning,w-hen the weight is wound up, by the pawl l. A fly or balance Wheel can be placed on the small wheel f to control its motion. The size of the wheel in is governed by the size of my invention and the time the pump is intended to work. The weight;
is contained in the box G, filled with rock or stone, and supported on the weight-sliat't h and the frame K. The shaft is guarded by rollers orguides to preventi'riction and allow it to rise and descend easily.
The beams can be replaced by the descend ing weight while the pumpis working, or can be replaced by means of a spring for that purpose; The pipe conveying the water to the tank, and ot' the pump, can be of any size, depending entirely on the amount of water used by locomotives, the amountin the stream or well, and the, size of the pump used atthat place. The length of time the pump will work is governed by the length of the beams, the height of the weight, the amount of weight used, and the size of the wheel E. I
I do not confine myself to any particular dimensions, as before stated, as the size and proportions of the apparatus may be varied without departing-from my invention.
In this way I am able to use the power of the locomotive for pumping water for railroad tanks and other purposes, if desired.
Nb-at I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent ot the United States, is-
The rack-beams A A, shafts (J and c, the former provided with the wheels .13 and E and cog c, and the latter with wheel 13 and cog c, in combination with the wheel f, weight-slnil't h, and weight G guided in the frame .i(, when operated by a passing locomotive, substantially as and for the purpose liorcinbcl'ore set forth.
