WATER CONDUCTOR AND RECEIVER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 349,894, dated September 28, 1886.

Application filed March 23, 1886. Serial No. 190,292.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, \VILLIAM HOMER Mo- KENZIE, of \Vaverly, in the county of Pike and State of Ohio, have invented a new and Improved Water Conductor and Receiver, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figurelis afront elevation of myinvention. Fig. 2 is a vertical cross-section of the same, taken on the line :0 00 on Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the same; and Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing the general arrangement, all four figures representing the application of the conductor and receiver to the inside of a store-window.

The object of my invention is to provide simple and efficient means of collecting the condensed moisture on store and other windows and to provide a holder to receive the same. 1

My invention is to be applied to the inside of storewindows, store-doors, fan-lights, 850.; and it consists of a sheet of tin, iron, zinc, or other suitable substance, A, bent along its upper edge for the purpose of being inserted in a groove made to receive it in the wood-work of a sash, K, as shown at B, and being bent round along its lower edge to form asmallgutter, 0, the samebeing formed with a fallin any (N0 model.)

desired direction, so as to discharge the water by the outlet-pipe d, with which it is connected. The receiver 6 is formed of sheet metal, being semicircular in plan, and having theback portionflat,withaprojecting piece at the top provided with a hole or holes, f, so that it may be hung on pegs and removed when desired. Any water which may collect by condensation or freeze on the glass of a window fitted with my invention will, when a thaw occurs, run down the pane and into the gutter c, where it will be conducted to the dischargingpipe d and into the receiver 6, thus rendering the bottom of the window and the floor beneath always free from a collection of water, and thereby preventing the unsightly appearance such a collection presents, besides preventing damage to goods from the same cause.

My conductor and receiver will also be found exceedingly useful in collecting and receiving water in the manner described on occasions when the windows are cleaned.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination, with the water-conductor and its discharge-pipe, of the receiver a, as herein shown and described.
