Application tiled January Al, 18H.
10 all whom, z'v' 'nm/,gf con/cern,
Beit known that l, MICHAEL Posz, of Shelbyville, in the count-y ofShelby and State of Indiana, have invented a newv and useful lmprovcmcnt in Cellar Drains and ventilators, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of my invention is to provide a simple, efficient, and inexpensive drain and ventilator for the cellars of buildings.
The invention consists in a pipe laid beneath the cellar-floor and passed outward and upward to the-ground-surtace, and having an inlet to the cellar, whereby water flowing into the cellar may readily be pumped out at will, to keep the cellar ventilated and the walls dry.
The invention consists, also, in various arrangements of a reservoir in the cellar-floor with a perforated cover, and' an outside head and perforated cover to the pipe, the whole arrangement having material sanitary advantages over drains connected with a system of sewers, or otherwise constructed, all as hereinafter fully described and claimed.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate mrresponding parts in both the figures.
Figure l is a sectional elevation of a building in part to which my improvements have been applied, and Fig. 2 is a plan view of the improvement, wit'ha portion of the wall of the building in horizontal section.
The letter A indicates the drainage and v cn t-ilating pipe or shaft, which is sunk into the ground B from or at the outside ot' the building or cellar wall C, and from the ground-surface b to a point below or at about the level of the cellar-Hoor D, the pipe or shaft A being then passed through or below the wall G and beneath the cellar-tloor, which floor slopes or inclines downward from the cellar-walls on all sitios to a tank or receiving basin or reservoir, E, which connects with the inner end of the pipe A, and preferably is tted with a grated or perforated top or lid, G, to pass air and prevent solid matters from entering into and choking up the pipe A at the lower end, and at the top the pipe A is or may be fitted with an enlarged head basin orlilange, H, having for @ctober 21, 1884.
(Xo model.)
a removal'ilegrated or perforated cover or lid, l, all as clearly shown in the drawings.
.ln operation, any water which may enter the cellar by overflows within the building, or by leakagethrough the outer walls. or through the cellar-bottom at any point, will collect in basin E and flow therefrom into pipe A, and may be pumped therefrom through a suitable hose introduced through the head ofthe pipe at the outside, after removing cover I; hence the cellar may always be dry, and as the pipe A affords free passage of foul air or gases from.
the cellar the lower part of the building will always be kept in a healthful condition as regards ventilation.
The use of the enlarged head and cover I is not essential, as the cover may be fitted di rectly on the head of pipe A, either at or above/ the ground-surface, but the enlarged head and cover are preferred for a larger ventil'atingoutlet; and the basin or reservoir E in the cellar-floor, also, is not essential, but is preferred in practice as affording a temporary lodgment for a body of fluid in small area, which would otherwise spread over a much larger surface ofthe door.
rlhe pipe or shaft A may be built of earthen tile or cast or wrought metal, or any other materials or combinations thereof, earthen tile being preferred because of its cheapness and suitability'.
My invention has many advantages over drains connected with a system of sewers, among which'may be named the absence of 'dangerous sewer-gases from the house; the `walls of the building may be kept in a drier condition 5 non-liability to choking up with ordinary conditions, and especially so in times of iood, when the filth of sewers is forced back into the connected drains and cellars to the positive injury of health, while my drain may be pumped out at will at anytime. Furthermore, my improvement affords complete ventilation as well as drainage, may also be built more cheaply than ordinary sewer-connected drains, and will serve well where sewer systems are unknown, as on isolated farms, or in the smaller towns and cities.
