JAMES J. POWERS, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
OPERATING WATER-CLOS ET VALVES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No., 232,902, dated October 5, 1880. Application filed February 10, 1880.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JAMES J. POWERS, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Iniprovement in WVorkin g WVaterOloset Valves, of which the following is a specification.
The object of thisinvention is to provide an improvement in the working of water-closet valves which is simple in construction and effective in use.
The invention consists of a valve mounted on a bracket-shelf and operated by a lever connected with the water-closet door by a wire or cord, so that the valve is opened every time the said door is opened.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of my improvement. Fig. 2 is a perspective view, showing the application of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
A spring'valve, A, is fastened onto a shelf, B, projecting outward from a plate, O, which is attached to the wall of the warmest room in the house by means of the screws D D, or in some other suitable manner. The pipe E, connected with the main water-pipe of the house, and the pipe F, connected with the water-closet hopper, are attached to the valve in some suitable manner.
An arm, G, is attached to or made integral with each end of theshelf B, to one end of which arms a lever, H, having its upper end connected with the water-closet door by a wire, chain, or rope, is pivoted in such a manner that it can act upon the trip-head J of the valve A.
The shelf B is provided with a ledge along its edges, whereby a shallow dish is formed to receive the water that may drip down from the valve A. The pipe K conducts all the drip-water from the shelf B into the pipe F, with which it is connected a short distance below the plate 0.
The operation is as follows: The upper end of the lever H being connected with the water-closet door by a chain or cord or wire, as described above, if the said door is opened the lever H will be drawn in the direction of the arrow (0, will press upon trip-head J, pushing the same in the direction of the arrow to, thereby permitting the water to pass from the pipe E through the valve A into the pipe F, which conducts it to the hopper of the water-closet. As soon as the door is closed the spring L forces the trip-headJ outward again and closes the valve A. The valve A can be reversed and the lever H can be pivoted to the arm G on the other side of the shelf B, if necessary on account of the movement or position of the door, or for like reasons. All water that drips down from the valve A will be collected on the shelf, and is carried of immediately through the pipe K, which is of sufficient size to carry off a large quantity of water.
The advantages of the within-described apparatus are that every time the door of the water-closet is opened the valve is operated. Consequently the basin is washed before and after use. Further, it does not waste or permit of wasting any water, and operates very rapidly and accurately.
The air can enter into the pipe F through the pipe K, and can thus break the vacuum which is caused when the valve is suddenly closed. The lever H may be replaced by a sliding arm.
Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent The spring-held valve. A, connecting with the water-pipe E and with a pipe, F, leading to the water-closet hopper, in combination with the shelf B, having arms G G, and the lever H, connected with the door of the watercloset chamber, as and for the purpose specified.
JAMES J. POWERS.
