IMPROVEMENT IN SIPHONS FOR WATER-CLOSETS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 148,020, dated March 3, 1874; application filed August 23, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES ANDERSON, of Allegheny, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Siphons for VVater-Closets, and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
' My invention relates to an improvement in device for supplying water-closets with water; and consists in the combination, with the water-supply pipe, of a tank having a float and an adjustable siphon waste-pipe.
To enable others skilled in the art to inake and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.
In the accompanying drawings, which form part of my specication, Figure l is a top view or plan of inyimprovement in device for supplying water-closets with water. Fig. 2 is a veri l section of the saine at line y of Fig. l.
In the drawin gs, A represents the water-tank, which is secured at a point above the seat of the water-closet. To the tank Ais attached the water-supply pipe f and a wastepipe, e, which leads to the cess-poolof the water-closet. The upper end of the pipe e projects through the bottom of the tank A7 and is provided with screw-threads. To the pipe e is attached a pipe, D, the upper end of which is furnished with a cap, 7c, held in position by screw-threads, as indicated at On the interior of the pipe D is a flange, h, which, in connection with the iiange g on the end and exterior of the long liinb` of the Siphon-pipe B, acts as a stop, and prevents the iioatOi'rom rising beyond a given point in the tank A. The float C is an open vessel, constructed of tin or other sheet metal, and is secured to the Siphon-pipe B, with the short limbs -of the siphon within the float or vessel C, so that it will siphon out the contents of the vessel at proper periods. A suitable packing is placed around the siphon-pipe B, as indicated at x in Fig. 2.
The operation of the hereinbefore-described device is as follows The waterbein g supplied to the tank A by 'pipe f, the float O will rise up with the water until the flange g comes in contact ,with the ange h, after which the water will rise up in the tank A, and ilow over the top edge of the vesselG, which, becoming illed with water, will sink down in vessel A until the bottoni of the iioat C rests on the cap k. The siphon B will then draw off the water, which is carried by the waste-pipe e to the cess-bowl of the water-closet. As soon as the wateris suficiently exhausted from the tank and float, the latter will again rise to the surface of the water, and the iloat will rise and sink alternately while water is allowed to flow into the tank A.
By the device hereinbefore described, water may be allowed to constantly flow through pipe f into the tank A, which will prevent pipe f from freezing up in cold weather.
Having thus described iny improvement, what I claim as my invention is- Ihe tank A, adjustable siphon B, and -loat O, in combination with the water-supply f, substantially as herein described, and for the purpose set forth.
JAS. ANDERSON. YVitnesses:
A. C. JOHNSTON, J AMES J. JOHNSTON.
