OF TROY, N. Y.
HYDRANT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 261,272, dated July 18, 1882.
a, Application med Maren 24,1882.' (No model.)
.To all 'whom it mag/,concern Be it known that 1,'JABEz STONE, of Waterford, in the county of Saratoga and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hydrants, of which the following is a specification.
M v invention relates to the class ofhydrants in 'which a valve is used which closes directly against the current and pressure of the water.
Figure l is a view of the hydrant, partly eX- ternal and partly sectional. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the upper part of the same. Fig. 3 is sectional View of the valve-chamber, valve, &c., enlarged from Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a plan of top of valve-chamber castin g, showin g the arrangementofwater-ways used in Figs. l and 3. Figs.
- 5 and 6 are other arrangements of valve-cham ber and water-ways which can be used, if pre- 'erred.
A is the stand-pipe or body. B is the valvechamber casting. C is the opening where the water-pipe is connected. D is the valve, with its outer loose brass cylindrical surface, D', and leather or other suitable bottom surface, E. (Shown in solid black.) F is the valveseat on which the valve closes. G is a cylinder of brass fitted into the iron valve-case Z, and within which D and D slide when moved. H is the valve-stem, usually rounded at its bottom where it presses against the valve. I' is the valve-rod, connected with the stem and reaching from it to and through the top of the hydrant, and by it the valve is opened and closed.
Where the valve-rod passes through the-stuffing-box it is desirable to cover it with brass so, and it is so shown. J is the stufIing-box plate. K is the cover. L is the nozzle. M is the cap to valve-chamber, and through it the valvestem passes. -O O are drip-holes,which pass through the brass cylinder G and the iron outside of it. P P are waterways each side of the valve-chamber.
by the raising of the valve no water can escape through them; but when the valve is pressed down against the seat these holes O 0 are uncovered, and whatever water is in the standpipe will pass down through the holes in the cap M and escape through the drip-holesO O. When the valve is drawn up into the space just below the cap M the water will follow the dotted lines with arrow-heads (see Fig. 1) through the water-ways P P and into the standpipe and discharge through the nozzle. .These water-ways can be as shown in Fig. 4; or there can be one large water-way on one side of the valve; or if the top of the valve-,castin g is made square or circular, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the arrangement of water-ways there shown can be used.
To remove the valve for'any purpose, the top K and the stuffing-box plate J are removed, a long socket-wrench is slipped down over the valve-rod I, and rests on the brass cap M and over the square nut at the top of it. This cap M is then unscrewed from the valve-case, and it, the valve, and valve-rod are all lifted out together. Another set can be put in in place of the pieces removed, or they can be repaired, if necessary, and replaced. This facility of removal ofsaid parts withoutremoval of the stand-pipe is one ofthe advantages of the ar` rangement described.
In case the drip-holes become obstructed in any way the end of a rod properly bent can be passed down through large holes in the cap M and the obstruction pushed out of the dripholes. The doing this-i. e., clearing the dripholes without removing the valve from the hydrant-is another advantage of the arrangement described.
I claim as my invention- The casting B, having the valve-case Z, provided With leak-holes O leading to the outside, and the surrounding water-ways P, in combination with the perforated cap M and solid valve D, substantially as described.
