UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
WM. W'. BINNY, OF SENECA FALLS, NEW YORK.
HYDRANT.
Specification of Letters Patent No. 17,415, dated June 2, 1857.
'o oZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, W. W. BINNY, of Seneca Falls, in the county of Seneca and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Hydrant; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a vertical section of my improvement; the plane of section passing through the center. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section of the water chamber or box; the discharge pipe being also bisected, showing the perforations at its lower end, and also the valve.
Similar letters of reference denote like parts in both figures.
This invention relates to and improvement in hydrants wherein by the employment of a very few parts peculiarly arranged, the construction of the hydrant is rendered extremely simple and efficient, selfclosing, not liable to get out of repair, and due provision made for the escape of the waste water.
To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and construct my invention, I will proceed to describe it.
A, represents the case of the hydrant, which may be constructed of wood or metal, and of cylindrical or other desired form. This case is sunk a suitable distance into the earth, so that its lower part will be beyond the action of the frost. The bottom of the case is perforated with holes as shown at (60,' and the pipe B, from the main, passes into the lower end of the case at its side; said pipe being bent upward within the lower part of the case at its center. The upper end of the pipe B has a screw-thread formed on it; and a box or chest C is screwed on the upper end of said pipe. This box or chest may be constructed of cast iron and it may be of square form or slightly taper. The cover (b) of the box or chest is secured to it by screw bolts (c) and the cover has a neck or tube (CZ) cast with it; the said neck or tube projecting upward a suitable distance. A leather strip (e) is fitted to the under side of the cover D, represents a pipe, the lower end of which is fitted and works in the neck or tube (cZ) the pipe passing through the cover (b), and having a valve secured to its lower end by a screw (g). This valve (f) is formed of a square plate, having its sides made concave as shown clearly in Fig. 2; and the plate is sufficiently large so that it cannot turn within the box or chest, and become unscrewed or detached from the pipe D. The concave sides or edges of the valve also afford a free passage for the water in ascending within the box or chest above the valve.
i The lower end of thepipe D, has holes (g) made in it, and the valve (f) rests upon a spiral spring (It) within the box or chest. The pipe D does not work tightly wit-hin the neck or tube (d) sufiicient space is allowed for the escape of water up between the inner surface of the neck or tube, and the external surface of the pipe D. Around the pipe D, and at a suitable distance above the neck or tube a flanch (Z) is secured, and a strip of leather (j) is attached to the under surface of said fianch.
The upper end of the pipe D is curved or bent in semicircular form; and passes through the side of the upper part of the case A, and a short vertical bar (7c) is attached to the upper part of the pipe D; said bar (lc) having a lever (Z) passing through its upper end, as shown clearly in Fig. 1.
The operation is as follows: When the lever (Z) is left free, the hydrant is closed by the spring (71,) in connection with the pressure of the water, keeping the valve (f) snugly up against its seat or leather (e). Vhen, however, the pipe D is forced downward by actuating the lever (Z), the water will rush through the passages formed by the concave sides of the valve, and pass through the holes (g) up through the pipe D. When the pipe D is depressed, and the water is rushing up through it, the leather (j) on the fianch (i) fits over the upper end of the neck or tube (UZ), and serves as a cut off, preventing the water from escaping into the case from between the tube (CZ) and pipe D, as shown in red, in Fig. l. When, however, the lever (Z) is left free, the pipe D will ascend; the valve (f) fitting snugly against its seat, and preventing the water from escapingup within the pipe; and as the fianch (i) is then above the upper end of the neck (d), the water within the pipe D will descend and pass upward between the neck (rZ) and pipe D, and escape into the case A. The box or chest C is placed sufciently lovv Within the case A, to be beyond the action of the frost.
In case any repairs are required, the boX or chest C may be readily detached by removing the head of the hydrant, and turning the pipe D, till the boX or chest is unscrewed from said pipe D. The boX and pipe D, may then be lifted out of the case,
and repaired With the greatest facility.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters-Patent, is
The pipe D, fitted Within the case A, and
