Patented Nov. 14, 1.876.
UUHESEB UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GEORGE C. SHIPHERD, OF BAINBRIDGE, OHIO.
IMPROVEMENT IN SAP-SPOUTS.
Specification forming part ofLetters Patent No. 184,304q dated November 14, 1876; application filed v May 4, 1876.
To alt whom it may concern A Be it known that I, GEORGE C. SHIPHERD, of the town ot' Bainbridge, county of Geauga, and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful I mprovement'in Sap-Spouts, which im provement is fully set forth in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawing.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
The object of my invention is to provide a sap-spout for the conveyance ofthe sap of the sugarmaple or other trees from the bore in the tree to some vessel, in the usual way.
In the accompanying drawing, Figure l is a full-length side view of my sapspout, showing a projection for a bucket-holder. Fig. 2 is a top View of the same, and Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of the spout.
A is the end rst driven into the bore of the tree B, the projection for holding the bucket, and C the thick or large end of the sap-spout. .l
Each end of the spout is made tapering, so as to convey all sap from the bore in the tree to 'the bucket. The end A is iirst used in the bore of the tree; and should the flow of sap be retarded or checked byacidity or otherwise, the end O may be used after enlarging the bore in the tree. The end O now iits the same as the end A in tte first instance. By this operation acidity is removed andthe flow of sap increased. The projection B is made so as t0 be used when either end of the spout is in the bore. l make my sap-spout of zinc or any other suitable metal, with a suitable bore through the same for the passage ofthe sap and I make the bore'tapering from the end A of the spout, for the reason that were the bore of equal diameter at botlh ends, the dow of sap would be retarded or checked from the end O.
Having thus described my invention, whatI claim is- A metalliereversible sap-spout of the shape described, cast in one piece, as a new article of manufacture, as and for the purpose set forth.
GEORGE C. SHIPHERD.
