Mee/ef Patented Aug. 2, 1932 PATENT OFFICE i WILLIAM L. WHEELER, OF 'WALNUT GROVE, MISSOURI ROAD GULVERT Application iled November 11, 1930. Serial No. 494,985.
The present invention relates to a culvert to be disposed across -a road and form part thereof and formed with openings grated over in the top thereof for the purpose of taking off water from wheel tracks which are formed in the road in rainy and snowy weather.
Another very important object of the invention resides in the provision of a culvert of this nature which is exceedingly simple in its construction, inexpensive to manufacture, strong and durable, thoroughly eflicient and reliable in use and otherwise well adapted to the purpose for which it is designed.
7With the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in certain novel features of construction, and in the combinationand arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.
In the drawings:
Figure l is a top plan view of a culvert embodying the features of my invention,
Figure 2 is a longitudinal section therethrough taken substantially on the line 2 2 of Figure l,
Figure 3 is a transverse section therethrough taken substantially on the line Bw-S of Figure 2,
Figure A is an enlarged detail vertical longitudinal section taken substantially on the line H of Figure 3, and
Figure 5 is a perspective view of one of the grating bars.
Referring to the drawings indetail it will be seen that the numeral 5 denotes an elongated hollow concrete body with openings 6 in the top thereof leading to the interior thereof. rIhese openings 6 are arranged to be in line with the usual wheel tracks formed in the roadway during rainy and snowy weather. The body 5 is incorporated in the roadway so that the top thereof is flush with the road.
Gratings are disposed across the openings 6 and are formed by pluralities of bars 7 having reduced ends 8 embedded in the top of the body 5 at the edges forming the opening 6.
From the above detailed description it will be readily appreciated that during rainy and snowy weather the water which usually runs inthe wheel tracks will be taken olf through the openings 6. Any desired number of these culverts may be placed at advantageous 'i without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of its advantages.
Having thus described my invention what I claim as new is:
A culvert for the purpose specified comprising an elongated hollow body open at the ends and having openings in the top thereof with gratings thereacross, each grating being formed of a plurality of bars having reduced ends embedded in the top of the body at the edges forming the opening.k
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
WILLIAM L. WHEELER.
