UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
WILLIAM B. HENNING, OF WATEBLOO, INDIANA.
IMPROVEMENT IN UNDER-DRAINS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 204,038, dated May 21, 1878; application filed November 27, 1877.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WM. B. HENNING, of
Waterloo, in the county of DeKalb and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Device to be Applied in the Construction of Under-Drains, of which the followingis a specification: The invention relates to a device for the removal of sediment from tile and other drainpipe, and for the purpose of aturn-chamber and branch connection; and it consists in achamber or box made of wood or other durable material, and receives the tile or other drain-pipe through apertures in its sides, thereby forming a sediment-deposit, turn-chamber, and branch connection, the device being such in its construction that the several purposes are dependent upon each other, and mutually contribute to produce the desired results.-
The object of my invention is to prevent obstructions to the passage of water in under-drains, to facilitate the turning of an gles, and the connecting of branch drains.
When the apparatus is connected with the under-drain at regular intervals it allows of an immediate inspection of the working and condition of the entire line of drainage, by showing a flow of water when the drain is in work- .ing order; and when the drain is obstructed or clogged,it will show that the flow is checked or stopped.
The accompanying drawing, in which similar letters of reference indicate like parts, is a perspective of a device embodying my invention.
In the chamber A are apertures B, shaped so as to admit the end of the tile or pipe, thereby depositing the sediment in the chamber A. The grate 0 allows the sediment to fall to the bottom, and also admits a current of water from below, thereby being of much advantage in spouty lands, while it also pre vents moles, crabs, muskrats, &c., fi'om getting into the drain or in any way obstructing it. A movable lid or top, E, enables a quick examination of the drain and an easy and speedy removal of deposit to be made.
A number of small holes, D, near the top of the chamber will facilitate surface-drainage when the chamber is placed below the surface; and when the chamber extends above ground air is admitted into the drain, thereby speeding and increasing the flow of water by preventing a vacuum.,
I claim as my invention 1. The box A, having perforations B in its sides, near the top, for connection with tiledrains, and adapted to serve as a sedimentchamber or branch or turn chamber, as specified.
2. The box A, having perforations B in its sides, near the top, for connection with tiledrains, and provided with grate G, lid E, and inlets D for air or surface-water, according as the device may be placed, as and for the purposes specified.
WM. B. HENNING. Witnesses:
