BERNARD MGGRANN AND JOHN SOLIS, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
IMPROVEMENT IN COMBINED CISTERN-VAL VES AND OVERFLOW-PIPES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 167,265, dated August 31, 1875; application filed July 24, 1875.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, BERNARD MOGRANN and JOHN SOLIS, both of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Combined Oistern-Valve and Overflow-Pipe, of which the following is a specification:
The figure is a longitudinal section of my improved device.
The object of this invention is to furnish an improved valve and overflow-pipe for the cisterns that supply the water to water-closets and other similar purposes, which shall be so constructed as to prevent the overflow of said cisterns, while avoiding the use and consequent expense of a separate overflow-pipe, and which shall be neat and compact in construction and inexpensive in manufacture.
The invention consists in the combination of the overflow-pipe with the weighted valve and the socket, as hereinafter fully described.
A represents the socket, which is secured in the bottom of the cistern, and through which the water escapes. The upper edge of the socket A serves as a seat for the valve B, and the said socket has a bar, a formed across its lower end, with a hole, a through its center, to serve as a guide for the valve-stem O. The valve B is faced with leather b or other suitable yielding material, and has a weight,
b attached to it to bring it to and hold it in its seat when released. The upper part of the valve-stem G extends up to high-water mark, and has a bail, 0, attached to its upper end to receive the connecting wire or lever by which the valve is operated, and which is connected with the valve of the water-closet in the usual way. The valve-stem Cl is made hollow, so as to serve as an overflow-pipe to prevent the water from rising any higher in the cistern than the upper end of the said pipe or hollow valve-stein O. The surplus water flows through pipe 0 into the feed-box, and thence into the basin of the water-closet.
By. this construction the labor, expense, and trouble of providing and inserting a separate overflow-pipe is entirely avoided, and at the same time a much better device is furnished.
Having thus described our invention, we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination of the overflow -pipe 0 with the weighted valve B b 12 and the socket A a a substantially as herein shown and described.
BERNARD MoGRANN. JOHN SOLIS.
