STREET-CONNECTION F'OR HYDRANTS.
SPECIFICATION forming part. of Letters Patent No. 244,577, dated July 19, 1881.
Application filed June 9, 1881. No model.)
To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, MICHAEL FOLLIARD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Street-Connections for Hydrants, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an improvement on Letters Patent No. 171,116, granted to me and William F. Travis, December 14, 1875. In the connection described in this patent the hydrant is connected directly to the main, and if anything gets out of order in the hydrant, so that the same has to be taken 01f for repairs, it becomes necessary to stop oft'the street-mainan operation which can only be effected by closing valves in said street-main, whereby the water is out 01f from a number of buildings, causing great inconvenience to a large number of people. In order to avoid this disadvantage I have combined with thereturn-bend and with the hydrant a bell connected directly to the return-bend and adapted to receive the bot-' tom end of the hydrant, and a stop-valve beneath said bell, so that by closing this stop-- valve the hydrant can be removed without disturbing the flow of water through the streetmaln.
This invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents a plan or top view. Fig. 2 is a front elevation.
Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.
In the drawings, the letter A designates a street-hydrant, which may be of the ordinary construction, and B is the water main or pipe In this street-main is formed a return-bend, O G, which extends beneath the sidewalk andunder the spot where the hydrant is to be placed.
a branch pipe, 1), which is provided with a bell, E, for the reception of the bottom end or foot of the hydrant. Beneath this bell is a stopvalve, F,of any suitable construction, said stopvalve being placed into the pipe D, so that when it is closed the connection between the street-main and the hydrant is cut ofl'without interrupting the flow of water through said street-main.
Whenever the hydrant is to be removed for repairs or for any other purpose, a hole is dug down so that the stop-valve F can be closed,
From this return-bend rises 0 and then the foot otthe hydrant is taken out of the bell .E.
If desired, a key may be secured to the stopvalve, the handle of which extends above the ground, so that the valve can be closed or opened Without digging down- By these means I am enabled to connect the hydrant directly to the return-bend of the streetmain without danger of causing any inconvenience to the-people occupying the buildin gs in the neighborhood if it becomes necessary to remove the hydrant.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The combination, substantially as hereinbefore described, of the street-main, the returnbend (J O, the pipe D rising from said return bend, the bell E, the stop-valve in said pipe D, beneath the bell and the hydrant.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
MICHAEL FOLLIARD.
