UNITED sTATEs PATENT oEEroE.
JABES LEWIS, OF NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA.
APPARATUS FOR CONDUCTING- WATER TO CISTERNS.
Specification of Letters Patent No. 23,925, dated May 10, 18'59.
To all whom fit may concern:
Be it known that I, JABES LEWIS, of the city of New Orleans, parish of Orleans, State of Louisiana, have made a new and useful Improvement in Self -Adjusting Vater Conductors to Cisterns; and I hereby declare the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, references being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of references marked thereon, making a part of this specification, the same letters being used to designate the same parts shown in the different figures.
Figure l is a sectional side elevation, taken from line, a, in Fig. 3; Fig. 2 a section inside front elevation, showing the working parts, and novelty of the apparatus; Fig. 3, a front elevation.
This apparatus is placed between the roof of the building and the cistern, which receives the water from the roof and is made to take a position of a part of the conducting pipe from the roof to the cistern, and its use is to conduct the first water, which falls on the roof, that takes with it the dirt from the roof, from the cistern, after this has been done to discharge the clean water into the cistern.
The box A, has pipes, a, Z9, c, through which the water is received, and discharged, as indicated by the arrows, the pipe, a, being attached to the pipe, leading from the roof, and the pipe, c, attached, leading to the cistern, and the pipe, o, is attached to the pipe that conducts the first water from the roof away, to be discharged at such place this may be found most desirable.
All the figures represent thev apparatus, as being adjusted to carry the water from the cistern, Fig. l not showing this so distinctly as Figs. 2 and 3. The movable slide, CZ, working in guides, c, being operated on by the weights, y, and, 7; and as, y, as shown by the drawings, has preponderance over, f, these two weights being attached to the slide, d, by bar, T, the force of the weight, y, over, f, has moved the slide over the pipe, c, and shuts off the communication to the cistern, and opened the pipe, b, to allow the first water to pass off as waste, or refuse water, unfit to be used.
The weight, f, is a light vessel, made to receive water, which comes from the roof; and the water it contains, gives it preponderance over the weight, y, by which the slide is brought down over, o, and opens, c, so the water can pass to the cistern. The small pipe, z', leading from the box, to the weight, f, (which can have a cock in it if desired, to allow the same machine to be regulated, so that a change of time in the filling with water of this weight, to suit the different character of roofs to be cleansed, before the water is allowed to enter the cistern) is for the purpose of gradually lling the weight, f, with water, during the time the roof is being washed clean, by the first-water running off. This weight, f, has small perforations in, or near its lower end, for the purpose of allowing the water it contained to run out, so it will become empty, and lighter, than the weight, y, to insure the slide moving up above, b, and over, c, to be in position again to wash the roof the next time the rain falls before the water can go to the cistern.
The mechanical arrangements being of simple character, but little further description I deem important. The box is made of the usual material used for guttering. The lever, s, mounted on fulcrum, n, having attached the bar, r, and weight, y, the bar, r, passing through the bottom of the box, and attached to the weight f below, and also attached to the slide, so as to move it by the mov-ement of the weights, as set forth.
After this my description of this invention, what I claim as new and desire to se cure by Letters Patent, is y I claim making the change in openings from the box A, or its equivalent, by the employment of a weight containing water supplied from a roof; when the weight can loose the water it contained, and thus reduce .its force of gravity, to allow another change to be made, by which the water is conducted separate directions, from, and to the cistern; when made and arranged substantially as, and for the purpose herein set forth.
