CALEB K. DODGE.AND JOHN PALMER, OF NILES, MICHIGAN.
- EMPROVEMENT IN LOCOMOTIVE WATERlNG-PIPES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 158,049, dated December 22, 1874; application filed February 21, 1874.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, CALEB K. DODGE and JOHN PALMER, of the city of Niles, county of Berrien and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Locomotive WateringPipes, of which the following is a specification The nature and object of this invention are to produce a convenient and practical device for supplying locomotivetenders with water when the water is drawn from an elevated reservoir, and is constructed with reference to watering two tracks from one and the'same device.
The accompanying drawing forms a part of this specification, and shows a vertical longitudinal view through the diameter of all of the parts, except the hinge and link attachment 1* a 0 s a, which are shown in their proper places by a side view.
Letters of reference are marked on the drawin g to denote the parts referred to in the written part of this specification, of which- A represents a bed-plate. This plate forms a common support for the device. B represents the lower horizontal pipe. This is placed in a pit in the ground to protect it from frost, and all the parts of the device shown in the drawing are placed below the surface of the ground, excepting the parts above the line 00. One end of said pipe is connected with the main supply pipe, and the other end is bent up to a vertical position. 0 is a large globe supply-valve having a screwthreaded stem in the usual manner. Said stem extends up to a convenient height, and is surmounted by the handwheel k.
' lower end of the rotating pipe H. The teeth of this wheel engage with the teeth of the Collars d dare attached to the valve-stem, between which The arm may also be used for rotating the pipe H, if desired. The upper end of the pipe H is provided with an elbow, to which is attached one end of a short section of flexible pipe, L'; the other end of the flexible pipe is attached to the delivery-pipe m.
In order to relieve the flexible pipe from supporting the weight of the delivery-pipe, and to protect it from other strains, a selfadjusting hinge is made by attaching to the opposite sides of said elbow slotted bars a 1'. These bars extend about half the length of said flexible pipe meeting and connecting by means of a slot and pivot with the bars a a, attached to the delivery-pipe m. And in order to prevent the outer end of the deliverypipe from dropping too low, the link a is attached at one end, by a pivot, to the lug son pipe m. The other end of said link is pivoted loosely to the lug O 011 the elbow of pipe H. R represents a standard attached to, and extending above, pipe H, through which works a cord or chain, for the purpose of raising and lowering the outer end of the delivery-pipe.
Having thus fully described our invention,
what we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- V 1. In a locomotive watering device, the 00111- bination of the jointed locking-arm J, rotating pipe H, and hand-wheel k.
2. In a locomotive watering device having the flexible pipe-connection L, the self-adjusting hinge, consisting of the slotted bars r 1", bars a a, and link a, attached to lugs s and 0 for the support of the flexible pipe L, all constructed, arranged, and combined as and for the purposes herein set forth.
