DANIEL C. BROWN, OF NORTH COLLINS, NEW'YORK.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 287,414, dated October 30,1883; i
" Application filed May is, 18H3. (No man) [e @ZZ whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, DANIEL C. BROWN, a citizen of the United States, residing at North Collins, in the county of Erie and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sap-Spouts; and I do hereand exact description of the invention, such\ it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which forni a part of this specification.
The object of my invention is to so construct a spout for catching maple sap as it ows from the tree that there will be a minimum compression of the. woody fibers of the tree at the point where the sap exudes and the spout is secured, thereby obtaining a freer, and consequently greater, flow of sap; and to that end, principally, it consists in a certain improved construction, which will be more fully hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims.
In the drawings, Figurel is a side elevation of my improved sap-spout in position upon a tree. Fig. 2 is a vertical central section of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a front elevation of the sapspout, detached. Fig. 4 is a top plan view of the same, and Fig. 5 is a front elevation of a Referring to the drawings, a is the body hollow cylindrical form, having its inner end open and provided with the circular beveled cutting-edge a. The outer end, c2, of the body portion a is entirely closed, and presents a smooth -iiat surface, aga-inst which ablock may be placed in driving thel device into the tree. Upon the lower side of the body portion a is located the hollow spout I), which extends downwardly and outwardly, and is provided with the notch b upon its upper portion for the reception of the pail c, which catches the iiowing sap. The spout b, as will be seen,opens into the interior of the ybody portion a, and is so arranged as not to interfere with the driving ofthe device into the tree. At the upper part of the body portion a is the vertical extension d, the outer wall of which is flush with the closed end a2 of the portion ai Extending backwardly from the extension el and forming, practically, a continuation thereof, is the thin blade d', having a pointed tapering end and.
sharp edges, to enable it to be readily driven into the woody fibers of the tree. Two vertical notches, d d2, are formed in the upper portion of the extension d, adapted for the reception of the claws of a hammer, by means of which the blade d may be readily withdrawn from the tree.
The operation of the improved sapfspout just described and its application to a mapletree is asy follows: The auger-hole e having beenv bored in the tree c, the sapspout is held against the tree so that the auger-hole will be located at about the center of the open end of the body portion ci. Vith a hammer or mallet andblock the blade d is driven into the woody berlof the tree, and the sharp circu-` lar edge a penetrates the bark e2 of the tree, but no farther. By this meansthe sap-spout is readily driven and securely held inthe tree and the woody iibers in the immediate vicinity of the auger-hole are not compressed to any perceptible extent, thus allowing a free andunrestrained flow of the sap from the augerhole into the interior of the body portion a, from whence it flows through the spout b into the pail c suspended from the notch b.
'By my improvedV device I am enabled to almost entirely avoid the compression of the woodyfiber in the vicinity of the spout,afault which is more or less common to the forms of sap-spouts now made, and I therefore obtain, in consequence, a much more free and generous iiow of sap than it is possible to obtain from those forms 0f spouts'now in use, the percentage of increase being considerable. My improved form .of spout can be 4cast of metal in one piece, and is galvanized, to prevent rusting. Instead of the hollow spout b, I might employ an open trough, f, as shown in Fig. 5,
which leads into the interior of the body por- IOO body portion thereof, for the purpose stated,
and a notch or notches thereon for tle reception of a tool to aid in withdrawing the spout froni'the tree, substantially as shown and described.
3. Asap-spout havingarctaining projection or blade located upon such spout at a point without the body portion thereof, for the purl pose stated, and having the spout proper located below the body portion thereotgto allow of free access in driving the spout into position upon the tree, substantially as shown and described.
4. A sap-spout having a retaining projection or notches thereon for the reception of awithdrawing-tool, and having the spout proper 1ocated below the body portion thereof,to allow of free access in driving the spout into position upon the tree, substantiallyas shown and described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
DANIEL C. BROWN.
