`ilpplication tiled .Tuly 1e, 1921. Serial No. LJLMALQI.
To all u1/wm t may concern.'
Beit known that l, ROBERT W. Harnawnv, a citizen of the United States, residing at Springfield, in the county of Clark and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Cisterns, of which the following is a specification.
rlfhe object of my present invention is the provision of a cistern equipped in such manner and so arranged relatively to a sewer in a cellar or the like that steps may be conveniently taken by the use of lawn hose or at the commencement of the rainfall to utilize the initial flow of water received in the cistern to thoroughly clean the cistern after which the water may be trapped in the cistern for use as occasion demands thereby having clean fresh cool water and a sanitary cistern.
Another object of my i invention is the provision of an arrangement intermediate of the cistern and "the sewer whereby overflow from the cistern will be conducted to the sewer with a view to averting flooding of the cellar in and adjacent to which the cistern and its appurtenances are arranged.
Another object of my invention is by turning a valve, water may be drawn from the cistern.
'lo the attainment of the foregoing the invention consists in the improvement as hereinafter described and definitely claimed.
ln the accompanying drawings, hereby made a part hereof rlhe figure is a view illustrative of the cistern arranged and equipped in accordance with my invention.
llmong other features my invention involves the arrangement of a cistern body 1 in the earth 2 outside of the cellar, this arrangement being advantageous inasmuch as it makes use of the insulating quality of the earth with a view to maintaining'the water contained in the cistern in a cool state. ln the floor of the cellar or cellar space 3 l provide a drain Ll in connection with a sewer 5, and also employ a conduit 6 ,connected with the lowermost portion of cistern body 1 and having an outlet 7 disposed over the drain l.
rlhe said conduit 6 is provided with a valve 8, preferably a gate valve, and in the preferred embodiment of my invention the conduit 6 is formed insections detachably connected together through the medium of a union 9, this provision being advantageous inasmuch as it permits of the disconnection of the sections and the introduction of a rod or stick with a view to clearing the conduit (i provided it be possible for said conduit 6 to become stopped up and in that way assuring the displacement of sediment from the lower portion of the cistern. lntermediate of the upper portion of the eistern body 1 and the conduit 6 at a point between the outlet 7 and the gate valve 8 is an overflow pipe 10 which, as its name imparts, is adapted to conduct overflow water from the cistern body 1 to the outer portion of the conduit 6 by which such water will be discharged into the drain l, thereby averting flooding of the cellar.
fit 11 is a pipe that communicates with the cistern body 1 and is adapted to lead from the roof of a house so as to conduct rain water to the cistern.
rllso communicating with cistern body 1 and conveniently arranged relatively to the cistern body 1 through the adjacent cellar wall 1Q and extending into cellar space to and over drain 4i is a conduit 13 by which is carried a valve 14l. The said conduit 13 manifestly permits of the withdrawal of soft water from the cistern whenever it is desired to use such water. pipes connected to the cistern extend through the cellar wall 12 (ordinarily an end wall) into the cellar.
rlodrain the oistern dry, open valve 8 and if in a hurry open also valve let. Thus it will be seen that conduit 13 serves a twofold purpose.
By turning gate valve 8 connected on conduit 6 the cistern will soon drain dry.
lirotwithstanding the practical advantages following from the novel equipment and arrangement of my cistern it will be manifest that the installation of the cistern may be accomplished at a cost but slightly greater than the cost of installing an ordinary cistern arranged in the usual well known manner.
The lowest portion of the cistern is higher than the cellar floor B. Conduit 13 is above conduit G but not directly over it or in line with same but to one side a space.
lilaving described my invention, what l All galzanized claim and desire to secure by Letters-Patent, is
1. A cistern construction and arrangement comprising a cistern body arranged in the earth adjacent to one wall of a cellar, a drain arranged in the floor of a cellar and adapted to be connected by a conduit with a point of discharge, a drain pipe communicating with the lower portion of the cistern body and extending into the cellar and having a discharge outlet above the drain and also having a valve, and an overflow pipe leading from the interior of the upper portion of the cistern body to the drain pipe at a point between the outlet and the valve thereof.
2. A cistern construction and arrangement comprising a cistern body arranged in the earth adjacent to one wall of a cellar, a drain arranged in the iloor of a cellar and adapted tobe connected by a conduit with a point of discharge, a drain pipe communicating with the lower portion of the cistern body and extending into the cellar and having a discharge outlet above the drain and also having a valve, and an overiiow pipe leading from the interior of the upper portion of the cistern body to the drain pipe at a point between the outlet and the valve thereof; the said drain pipe being formed in sections and having the sections detachably connected together through the medium of a union.
3. A cistern construction and arrangement comprising a cistern body arranged in the earth adjacent to one wall of a cellar, a drain arranged in the floor of a cellar and adapted to be connected by a conduit with a point of discharge, a drain pipe communicating with the lower portion of the cistern body and extending into the cellar and having a discharge outlet above the drain and also having a valve, and an overliow pipe leading from the interior of the upper portion of the cistern body to the drain pipe at a point between the outlet and thc valve thereof; the cistern body being also connected with a down pipe from a source of supply and being provided with a valved discharge pipe that extends through the cellar wall and into the cellar.
4. A cistern construction and arrangement comprising a cistern body arranged in the earth adjacent to one wall of a cellar, a drain pipe leading from the lower portion of the cistern body and provided with a valve and adapted to be connected outwardly beyond the valve with a sewer, and an overflow pipe leading from the upper portion of the cistern body to the drain pipe at a point outwardly beyond the valve of the latter; the valved portion of the drain pipe being located in the cellar.
In testimony whereof I aix my signature.
ROBERT W. HATHAVVAY.
