INLET- NOZZLE FOR STAND-PIPES.

SPECIFICATION forming partof Letters Patent No. 315,521, dated April 14, 1885.

Application filed July 7, 1884.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, SIMEON-LORD and WILLIAM HENRY DAILEY, of St. Louis, Missouri, have jointly made a new and useful Im- 5 provement in Stand-Pipes, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, referencebeinghad to the annexed drawings,

making part of this specification, in Which Figure 1 is a side elevation of a stand-pipe having the improvement; Fig. 2, a longitudinal section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 3; Fig. 3, a longitudinal section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 a cross-section on the line 4 4 of Fig. 2.

The same letters of reference denote the same parts.

The present invention is an improvement in that class of stand-pipes having two or more inlets and a valvular mcchanisnnenabling the water to be delivered into the standpipe through either or both of the inlets, but preventing the water, when introduced through but one of the inlets, from being discharged through the other of the inlets. Such standpipes are frequently attached to the outer walls of buildings for the purpose of carrying streams of water to the upper part of the building.

The improvement relates to the valve and the mechanism therewith immediately connected.

A, Figs. 1, 2, 3, represents that portion oi the stand-pipe with which the improvement is immediately associated. B B represent the two inlets thereto. G represents the valve. In place of employing a flap-valve, one for each inlet, we use asingle ball-valve. This valve is adapted to seat either at b or at b, according to the direction in which the water 0 is introduced into the stand-pipe. If wateris (No model.)

stand-pipe through the inlet B, the valve. is lifted from its seat I) and caused by the water to seat at b at the top of the inlet B. The guardD prevents the valve from rising too high in the stand-pipe, and italso directs the movement '50 of the valve as it is transferred to and from the seats b I), as described. In case the wa ter is being delivered into the stand pipe through both of the inlets B B at the same time, the valve is lifted, and is upheld in the 55 chamber a above the seats I) b; and to steady 4 the valve at such time,so that it shall not interfere with the admission of the two streams of water, and so that it shall be in position to drop readily to the seat b or b, according to .60 the flow of water, as described, the guard, in addition to being curved upward in the chamber a, is extended upward at its 'centerto form apocket, d, into which the ball is re-. ceived, as indicated by the broken lines 0', Figs. 2, 3. In this manner, and by using the valve as described, there is no liability of the valvular mechanism getting out of order,.as is liable to be the case when a fiap-valvegis used.

We claim- 1.- The combination, in a stand-pipe, sub- 1 stantially as described, of the chamber a, the y inlets B B, having, respectively, the valveseats b b, the ball valve G, and the guard D. 7 2. The combination, substantially as described, of the chamber a, the inlets B B, having, respectively, the valve-seats b b, the ballvalve G, and the guard D, curved upward in the chamber. 8o 3. The combination, substantially as de scribed, of the chamber a in the pipe, the inlets B B', having, respectively, the valve-seats b b, the ball-valve C, and the guard D, curved upward, and also having the Pocket d.
