ANIMAL WATERING-TROUGH.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 439,290, dated October 28, 18v90.
Application tiled June 21, 1890. SerialNo. 356,214. (No model.)
-To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, HENRY W. CLAPP, a citizen of the United States, residing at Concord, in the county of Merrimac and State of New Hampshire, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Animal Watering- Troughs, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to animal wateringtroughs and drinking-founts.
The obj ect of the invention is to provide an ornamental drinking-fountain adapted for the accommodation of man and beast of proper construction to avoid freezing in cold weather.
The invention consists in the various novel devices combined and arranged in a manner to be fully set forth in the following specification and claims, and clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof, of which- Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of the combined watering-troughs and drinking-fountains. Fig. 2 is an enlarged view showing a portion of the supply and waste pipes in plan and a sectional plan of the central column in which they are located. Fig. 3 is an enlarged detailed view, partly in section, of the mouth of the overflow or waste for the animal-trough, with its swiveled cap or cover. Fig. 4 is an enlarged elevation of one of the nipples, through which the supply to the animal-troughs must pass and by means of which the water contained therein is given a continuous circular motion. Fig. 5 is aplan sectionof one of the nipples and a portion of supply-pipe connected.
Similar letters designate corresponding parts throughout the various views.
The central column may be extended to a proper height above the trough to support a lamp, as seen in Fig. l, if desired.
The large trough A is supported upon a hollow column or pedestal B, upon which is formed, near its bottom, an annular drinkingtrough C, adapted especially for dogs and the smaller animals.
The pedestal B is supported upon a hollow metallic shaft D, its top being about flush with the surface of the ground and its bottom resting upon two or more courses of brick X at a depth of four feet (more or less) below thel surface of the ground. This shaft D is seen in Fig. l in broken section in lack of the nec essary space to show its full length in relation to the pedestal B, and the column supporting the lamp Y is necessarily seen in broken elevation for the same reason.
The shaft D may be connected with asewer by means of a pipe d, which may be formed integral therewith.
A supply-pipeE enters one side of the shaft D at a point far enough below the surface to prevent any liability to freeze, and said pipe is there provided with a stopl and waste cock F, having its operatingcrank f extending to and within the pedestal B, and by aid of an opening provided with a detachable cap b the crank of said cock F can be readily reached. Said supply-pipe E extends from said cock F, thence upward through the shaft D and pedestal B to the hollow column B', where it connects with the branch pipes E E2, the former of which supplies the trough A through the column B', at opposite sides thereof, and the latter extending thence horizontally, then vertically through the said trough to a faucet G, located six inches (more or less) above the top of said trough and within a hood H mounted thereon.
The horizontal portion of the pipe E2, which supplies water to the faucet for drinking purposes, is provided with a stop and waste cock F to shut od the water from Asaid faucet in excessive cold weather to prevent its freezing, and the vertical portion of said pipe is provided with a faucet G', in order to more rapidly lill the trough A after it has been emptied for cleaning or other causes, and to which a hose may be coupled for washing the appa-V ratus.
The dogtrongh C obtains its supply by means of the pipe e, connected by a T-coup ling with the supply-pipe E.
In order to prevent ice forming in either of the troughs A C, it is essential that the whole body of water should be agitated, and by Lex. periment I have found the point most desirable at which to enter the supply without unnecessarily stirring up the sediment from the bottom is at a point about one-third the depth of the trough from the bottom.
For the purpose of agitationlprovide plugs or nipples I, which may be threaded to either of the pipes E or e, as seen in Fig. 5. These plugs or nipples have a side ori tice i', by which means water is made to move in a horizontal course, (indicated by the arrows in Fig. 2,) and striking the sides of the trough movesin a circle therein.
An overflow-pipe J passes centrally from a point'near the outlet-pipe d of the shaft D, upward through the latter and the pedestal and column, respectively, B B, Where it connects at the proper point with a short pipe K by means of an elbow-joint or quarter-turn coupling L. Said pipe K mayhaveva collar or iange lo, and may be threaded both to the column B and said coupling L, and in order that anything ioating on the surface of the Water may not enter and stop up the overflow-pipe a hollow detachable cap M (open at its bottom and extending a little below the surface of the water) may be hung by a single screw to the column B', as seen in the drawings.
An vopening b is formed in the pedestal B at the proper point to carry 0E the overfiow in the smaller trough C, and this is also provided with a cap N, similar to that for the overow 0f the largertrough A.
In ordinary mild weather the overflow-pipe E might be dispensed with, but in excessivelycold weather if the pipe were not used the ice might form so rapidly in the parts B', B, and D as to prevent the passage of the water to the sewer, and thus cause trouble. The overiiow for the smaller trough, however, needs no pipe-conductor. A drain a is formed in the trough A, for which is provided a hinged cover P.
Having described my improvements, what I claim as new, and desire to patent7 isl. The combination of an animal wateringtrough, a hollow pedestal-support containing the supply and drain pipes and provided with an annular trough near its bottom for smaller animals, the said supply and drain pipes, a branch supply-pipe leading through the upper trough to a faucet located above the same and within a hood mount-ed upon said trough, and the said hood, all substantially for the purpose set forth.
2. In an animal watering-tr0ugh, the combination of an upper and lower trough, their independent supply and drain pipes arranged interiorly, a branch supply-pipe provided with a stop and waste cock, and a faucet for the more rapid illing of the upper trough, said branch pipe leading through said trough to a drinking-faucet. located above said trough and within a hood, and the said hood mounted upon said trough, all substantially for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I afxmy signature in presence of two witnesses.
HENRY XV. CLAPP.
