IMPROVEMENT IN APPARATUS FOR" CLEANING PRlVY-VAULTS.
Specification forming part of- Letters Patent No. 178,213, dated May 30,1876; application filed A r Ma aisvc.
To all whom it mag concern:
Be it known that I", CHARLES H. VoUTi-of Philadelphia, in the county ofPhiladelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Apparatus for Cleaning Privy-Vaults; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.
Figure lot the drawings is a representation of a side elevation of my machine as in use, and Figs. 2, 3, and 4 are sectional detail views of my barrel and valves. Fig. 5 is a vertical central sectional view of my barrel.
My object is to improve processes for cleaning privy-vaults; and the nature of my invention consists in a novel process of removing matter from privy-vaults without allowing the escape of fetid odors; said process consisting .from the privy-vaults to the transportingwagon in the street.
In the annexed drawings, A- designates a receiving-tank, which is mounted on wheels and designed for the transportation of the matter'pumped out of the'privy-vaults. B designates a portable receiver, which communicates with the tank A by a hose, 0, and also with the privy-vault D by a hose, E. F designates a double-acting air-pump, which is mounted on WIJGBISfOI convenience of moving it, and which communicates with the receiver B by means of an air-pipe, a and G designates a deodorizer, which communicates with the cylinder of the pump by means of an airpipe, b. The large main pipes or. hose G E "are connected tothe head'of the receiver Bl by means of coupling-boxes g g, which are provided with valves h h, and which can be readily detached from the receiver'when n ot and shut thevalve when the receiver is full.
The operation with a single receiver is as follows: Pipes 0 E are arranged as shown in Fig. 1. Pipe a is connected to the receiver B and to the exhaust end of the pump-cylinder. The pipe I) is connected to the forcing-end of the pump-cylinder and to the deodorizer Gr. All of the pipes are detachable. Under the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, when the pump F is operated, it will exhaust from the receiver B, and cause the matter from the vault D to fill this receiver, the valve h being open and the valve h being shut.
When thereceiver B is filled the valve h is shut and valve 71/ is opened. The interchangeable pipes a and b are detached, respectively, from the pump F and deodorizer G, and the free ends a and b of the pipes are connected together by means of male and female coup-' lings, thereby forming a continuous hose or pipe from the force part of the pump F to the receiver B, as indicated by dotted lines. Then the pump is started again, which pumps air into the upper portion of the receiver, and forces the matter out of the same throughpipeG into the transporting-tank A. The valve 71/ is then shut, and the valve h opened, after which the pump F is started, and the receiver B again filled, previous to which the airconnections of these "pipes thebarrels' or re-y ceiverscan be filled and emptiedalternatelythat is to say, while one receiver is being filled the other will be emptied of its conten'tsyand" vice versa. 7
It will be observedthatdnring theprocessr of transferring the matter from the privyvanlt to the transporting-tank, theronly thing necessary is'to keep the air-pipes properly adjusted. The main conveying-pipes are not changed after they are once fixed,
The receiving-tank -B forms' anintegralgpart of the apparatus used for forcing the matter: from the privy-vault into the transportingtank and'is practically a part of the air forc ing and. exhausting -engine,.irepresenting ,the;
