UNITED STATES JOHN W. UNGER Ann HERMAN LAHANN, orsiouxcrfrv', Iowa.
i DRINKING FOUNTAIN FOR STOCK. i
- Application ied ianuaryao', 1920. serial No; 352,827.
To all whom t may concern.' i l Be it known that we, Joni: 1V. UNGER and HERMAN LAHANN, are citizens of the United States, residing at Sioux City, in the county of 'Woodbury and State o-f Iowa, and have invented certain new and useful I mprovements in a Drinking Fountain for Stock, of which the following is a specification. l
This invention relates to a drinkingfountain for stock of the type in which an overhead sup-ply tank is employed which is so arranged with respect to the trough that, as the water is removed from the latter, an additional supply will be delivered thereto from thetank to maintain the level of the water in the trough at a predetermined point, the feed of the water taking place in accordance with the well known hydrostatic law.
The object of the invention is to provide a fountain of this character constructed to.
quantity of water to the atmosphere, there-r by preventing it from being unnecessarily chilled.
Tith'the foregoing and yother objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and iny the details of construction hereinafter de scribed andclaimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed may be made within the scope of whatl is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 represents a central vertical section of a` fountain constructed in accordance with this invent-ion; and n F ig. 2 is a horizontal section taken on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. I
1n the embodiment illustrated, a water casing 1 is shown cylindrical in form, altho Obviously it may be of any other desired cross section contour and 'has a heating chamber 2 in the bottom thereof in which is mounted a lamp 3 for supplying heat to the fountain. Thisl chamber 2 is equipped with a door 11 to afford'access to ythe interior of the chamber, said doorliaving apertures 5 therein for thepassage `of air to promote combustio-n. A trough 6, here shown substantially rectangular, is mounted above the heatingchambcr 2, theends thereof being supported'by outwardly and upwardly yinY- clined extensions 7 of the con'ibustioncliamf ber, the trough having lateral fingers or lugs 8 resting` on the upper ends of the extension and removably trough thereon. n i
The casing 1` is provided at diametrically opposite sides with inwardly inclined lportions 9 which are arranged opposite the ends of the trough to afford ample room for the insertion of the animals heads when they reach into the trough to `drink therefrom. These inclined walls 9 entendk to the bottom supporting the y of trough 6, as shown clearlyy inl? 1, andy form` baffle plates, which, arepe'rforated, in
the top of thewater liiie,asshown at 10, for the'purpose ofiexcluding mud and sediment fromV the center of the trough. l
Arranged within the casing 1 above trough 6 is a tank 11 vof a size sufficient to provide ample space between yitsnvalls and that of the casing 1so tliatthe heated air from the combustion chamber Q may pass up n around the tank and out through 'afnopeir i ing 23 in the top of casing 1, as will be presently more fiilly:clescribed. The bottom of.y
this tank 11 has a funnel shaped nozzle 12 in which is mounted the lower end of a pipe 13 which `extends centrally through the tank 11 and isfapertured at itslower yend, au shown at 14. i y
A rod 15 extends through pipeV 13 and i provided at its lower end with a ball-shaped valve or stopper 17 designed, when theirod.k i l is lowered, to close the nozzle, the other end of ysaid .rod having a handle 16 which isr adapted to be hooked over a bracket lwhen the fountain is in use.
` A funnel shaped member 1:221k krextends up? wardly from the upper end of pipe 13 above the top of the tank 11l and the bracket 18 is mounted in this funnel, as is shown clearly in Fig. 1.
The top 19 of the casing 1 is shown inclined upwardly toward its center, being removably mounted on said casing, and has an upstanding annular flanger 2O around the central opening therein, which is closed by a removable cap 21, which cap has the air outthereof and' terminates at the water level in -the trough Gand is designed to admit-air to `the tank 'when the water level in the trough falls so that the vacuumin the tank will be brokenfand the water flow out to thetrough. lVhen Asufficient water enters the trough to `seal the lo-wer end of Apipe 25, the flow of' water will cease.
In the use of this fountain 'whenit is desired to fill it, the handle 16 of' rod 15 is disengaged from the'bracket 18 and-theballklike valve 17 droppinginto the nozzle 12 cuts off communication between the tank and the trough." The cap 21 having, of course, first been removed, 'water is poured into the funnel 12;L and flows down through pipe loutthrough the perforation in 'the bottom thereof into the tank 11. lVhen the tank has been filled the handle 16fis again hooked over the bracket 18 to open the nozzle 12 and the water'which is removed from the trough G will be supplied through this nozzle, in accordance with the well known hydrostatic law. n
The `air entering the combustion chamber 12 through 'the apertures 5 is heated by the `lamp 3 an'd passes up around trough 6 into the air. space between the sidewalls of' the casing 1 and the tank 11` between thev upper v-en-d of saiditank and the top of said casing and 'passes `out through the air chamber 2st i and aperture 23 to they atmosphere, the heat v`by this time'having been yabsorbed by ther water inthetankand in the trough, lwhereby said water is maintained sufficiently warm ,torender it palatable to the stock.
By providing the vsmall capQlf' the' heat will be conserved during the filling vof Athe fountain, since the vents are'so arranged that avery small portion only =of the heat vwill be permitted lto passvout during the filling operation.
From the above desem-panna warte '0badapted to tures in presence "vious that no screwcaps; gatesyor :similar Ldevices Vare used, so thatialll dangersff leakuage-is--obviated and sticking or binding of the partsis also prevented.
k"Thevalve 17, above referred to, is prefer- -ably'fm'ade1ofrubber, altho obviously it may be of any suitable or desired material.
'From the-'above' description it will also be seen that owing to the small amount 0f water which is exposed in thedrinking ends of thetrough-very little heat will be lost from this source a-ndyet ample room `is pro- 'vided for watering of the stock at these points. l
Having thus fully described my invention, ywhat I claim-as newy and desire to secure -byLetters Patent, is:
A fountain of the class described comprising a casing having a combustion chamber in its lower end with a trough` mounted above it, the top of' saidvcasing being, provided'with an openingvsurrounded with an upstanding flange, a removablev closure be placedupon said flange, a
water tank supported in said casing*abo-ve Asaid trough and being spaced from the walls of the casing to provide a heat chamber around the tank, the bottom of the tankv beingprovided with a funnelshaped depending nozzle having a valve seat therein, a vertical pipe extending through the tank and having its rlower end apertured and arranged in contact with the funnel-shaped nipple of the tank and lits upper end extended through the water tankandv provided with a funnel shaped member which is arranged wit-hin the flange ofthe-top of the easing in slightly spaced relation thereto, a support arranged n insai'd funnelshaped member, a valve stem extending through the vertical pipe and 'having a valve on-'its lower end-'adapted to seat in the vnozzleto cut ofi' communication between the tank and trough when the former is being 'filled and the upper 'end of said with said support Jfor retaining the valveoi of its seat.
In testimony whereof'we our signaof twoA witnesses.
