1 Claim.
This invention appertainsto new and useful improvements in the general art of animal husbandry and more particularly to a novel stock waterer.
The principal object of the present invention is to provide a waterer which is adapted for use both in summer and winter and which in operation will be substantially foolproof.
Another important object of the invention is to provide a stock waterer which is substantially automatic in operation, always maintaining a predetermined level of water available for live stock.
Other important objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent to the reader of the following specification.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 represents a vertical sectional view through the apparatus on line l--| of Fig. 2.
Figure 2 represents a vertical sectional view taken substantially on line 2--2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a horizontal sectional view taken substantially on line 3-3 of Figure 1.
Figure 4 is a horizontal sectional view taken substantially on line 4-4 of Figure 1.
Figure 5 is a horizontal sectional view taken substantially on line 5-5 of Figure 1.
Referring to the drawings wherein like numerals designate like parts, it can be seen that numeral 5 represents a substantially large tank embedded in the ground denoted by numeral 6. The tank 5 is provided with an upstanding neck portion 1 and around this is the spaced wall 8. This wall 8 converges as at 9 to meet the upper end of the wall or neck 1 and in the space between the neck 1 and the wall 8 is placed sawdust or some other suitable insulating material Ill.
The tank 5 is provided. with a partition ll therein terminating at its lower end in spaced relation to the bottom of the tank 5 and a reduced extension 12 extends upwardly through the neck 1, to divide the neck 1 into the water well l3 and the float chamber Id. The partition extension l2 extends upwardly above the top of the neck 1 and forms at this end portion one 45 wall of the short tower 15 in which the float l5 normally operates. The partition I l in the tank 5 divides the interior of the tank into the oil compartment l1 and the water compartment [8. As the oil will float on the water in the compartment 11, the oil will not enter the compartment 18, but will serve to lubricate all working parts in the compartment [1. The top of the tower i5 is provided with a removable cap [9 whereby access can be gained to the float l6.
I-Iingedly connected as at to the partition extension I2 is the closure 2| which at its free edge 5 portion extends a substantial distance as at 22 beyond the adjacent edge portion of the neck I. This closure can be lifted by the animal when he is ready to drink.
It can now be seen, that as the live stock drink 0 water out of the well I3, the water in the well l3 will rise and the oil in the compartment 11 will lower, thus allowing the float IE to settle and drop the arm 21 so as to open the valve 26 and allow water to enter the compartment l8. Thus the water supply to the tank is replenished from time to time.
While the foregoing specification sets forth the invention in specific terms, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the shape, size and ma- 30 terials may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as claimed hereinafter.
Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:
In a stock waterer, a tank, a vertically disposed partition dividing the tank into a float compartment and a discharge compartment and terminating in spaced relation to the bottom of said tank, a water supply pipe extending across the float compartment and terminating at its discharge end in the discharge compartment, a valve in that portion of said pipe in said float compartment and having an operating arm, a float in said float compartment, a rod connection between the float and said arm, and an oil column in said float compartment supporting said float and extending downwardly to a level between the lower edge of the partition and the valve to lubricate the valve.
