WRSSQS 'LWWWCW I (53mm 1-@ Wm N-PETERS, PHOTO-LITHOGRAFHER. WASHINGTOK D C UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
WILLIAM WARREN, OF SAG CITY, IOWA.
RAIN-WATER CUT-OFF.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 230,681, dated August 3, 1880,
Application filed April 3, 188Q. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM WARREN, of Sac City, in the county of Sac and State of Iowa, have invented an Improved Rain-Water Out-Off, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to that class of devices that is automatically operated by the water conducted through a tube from the roof of a building to a cistern to direct the water into the cistern or away from the cistern, as circumstances may require.
Heretofore automatic rain-water cut-offs of various forms have been combined with conducting-tubes in such a manner as to prevent the dirty water that comes from a roof at the beginning of a rain from running into the cistern, and to allow only clean water that comes from the roof after the roof has been washed to flow into the cistern.
My invention contemplates regulating the quantity of water that is to be admitted into the cistern and to prevent the overflow of cisterns and the annoyances and damages incident thereto. It consists in forming and combining an adjustable elbow-shaped tube, a fixed conducting-tube, and a float, and arranging the same relative to a building anda cistern, as hereinafter fully set forth.- 7
Figure 1 of my accompanying drawings is a perspective view of my device. Fig.2 shows the same inc-practical use. Together they clearly illustrate the construction, application, and operation of my complete invention.
' A represents the lower and open end of a tube fixed to a building to convey water from the roof.
B is a fl oat made of sheet metal .or other suitable material in any suitable way. It mayvary in size and shape, as desired.
' O is an adjustable elbow-shaped tube, connected with the lower end of the fixed tube A in such a manner that the upper end of the adjustable tube will slip up and down over the lower end of the fixed tube when required, and at the same time revolve to and from the cistern as required to convey water into the cistern or away from the cistern.
d is a spiral slot out in the upper end of the adjustable tube 0. fis a pin or stud fixed to the lower end of the fixed tube A in such a manner that it will project outward through the spiral slot d in the adjustable tube.
.float B is connected with the sliding and revolving tube 0 by means of a, suitable connecting-rod, g, which rod may vary in length as required to suit the relative positions of the fixed-tube A and the cistern in which the float is to rise and fall with the surface of the water and the point of elevation in the cistern to which the rise of the water is to be restricted; and when the desired quantity of water has been conducted into the cistern it will elevate the float, and the float will push the elbowshaped tube upward over the lower end of the fixed tube, and the fixed stud f, projecting through the spiral slot of the moving tube, will cause the tube to revolve, as required, to turn its open .end away from the mouth or inlet of the cistern and to conduct the water descending from the roof and through the fixed tube A to another receptacle or drain; and when the quantity of water in the cistern is diminished and the float descends it will cause a reverse movementof the sliding and revolving tube, and again connect the fixed tube A with the cistern, as required to conduct the descending water into the cistern.
A simple, cheap, and efficient automatic device is thus provided for regulating the quantity of waterin a cistern, tank, boiler. or other receptacle, and to prevent overflow and damages resulting therefrom.
I claim as my invention- The tube A, having a fixed stud, f, the adjustable elbow-shaped tube 0, having a spiral slot, d, and the float B, combined and arranged relative to a building and a cistern, substantially as shown and described, to operate in the manner and for the purposes set forth.
WILLIAM WARREN.
