IMPROVEMENT IN MODES OFWATERING CATTLE 0N RAILROAD-CARS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 33,605, dated October 29,1861.
T0 aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, WILLIAM RoBINsoN of R0chester,New York,have made and invented certain new and useful Means of Supplying Water to Cattle while they are being Oarried on Railroad-Cars; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full and accurate description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,n1aking a part of this specification, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, the same letters refer-ring to like parts in all the figures.
Of said drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective View of my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan of a single car fitted up on my plan. Fig. 3 is a section on line a I) of Fig. 2. Figs. l, 5, 6, and 7 are details.
On referring to Fig. 1 it will be seen thata water-reservoir is provided, the construction of which is similar to that generally used for supplying water to loc0motiveengines. Fromthis reservoir a main pipe may be laid down parallel with the track, and to this pipe a series of supply-cocks maybe attached, one for each car, ()ne of these supply-cocks is shown in the drawings, Fig. 1; but as this forms no part of the invention for which I desire Letters Patent I here merely allude to it in explanation of the other parts of my arrangement. The water thus provided is received in one of the troughs t, of which two are let into the top of the car, so as to accommodate either side. From these troughs it descends through the tubes b 1) into the troughs a a, Fig. 3, out of which it is designed that the cattle shall drink. The troughs t t communicate with each other by means of the tube B, Fig. 3, so that it is immaterial on which side of the cars the water is admitted. The troughs a a receive water on both sides alike. Such is the general arrangement of my means the following details being necessary, however, to the more perfect accomplishment of the purpose intended.
The first point of importance is to keep the troughs out of which the cattle drink perfectly clean. To do this I hinge each trough by its edge against the side of the car, and after the cattle have done drinking the trough can be turned by means of the Windlass \V and cords passing over the pulleys O O O 0.
If desirable, the upper edge of the trough might be let into the side of the car so as effectually to keep out all urine and. fieces. This is shown in Fig. 4, and if it be thought best the troughs might be so arranged that after being turned up they might readily be elevated to the roof of the car; but this I do not deem necessary. The second feature for which a necessity existsis the carrying of the troughs past the doors of the cars. This I effect by means of a movable section of the trough, which section is easily removed and replaced, and the joints thereof, being well made and held together by springs, do not leak enough to affect the utility of the trough. I am thus enabled to water those cattle which stand immediately in front of the doors without interfering with their means of ingress or egress. and as these doors are each about four feet wide this becomes a matter of considerable importance.
In very warm weather it may be desirable to Wash out the cars, and also to wash and cool the cattle by means of a shower-bath. To accomplish this, there is a secondary perforated roof R added to each car, and by admitting water from the tube B it flows over this secondary roof and descendsin aperfect shower-bath. To regulate the flow of waterl attach the cross-tube and stop-cock c to the tube 13, as shown in Fig. 6.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim therein as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. The combination of the troughs a a, with the cords, pulleys O O O O, and Windlass W, or their equivalents, the whole operating in the manner and for the purpose substantially as described.
2. Forming the troughs a a with amovable WM. ROBINSON. \Vitnesses:
