WELL-Fl XTU RE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 469,922, dated March 1, 1892.
Application filed November '7, 1 8 91.
To all whom it may concern.-
Beit known that I, SAMUEL H. SAYRE, J r., of Hampton, in the county of Elizabeth City and and useful Improvements in fell-Fixtures; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming apart of this specification, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
This invention relates to improvements in well-fixtures, and particularly to the trough employed in connection with the old wellknown bucket and Windlass arrangements. It has been common heretofore in this class of devices to employ a cast-iron trough-shaped receptacle, which is secured to the inside of the well-curb and has a spout projecting through the curb, which empties the water poured into the trough from the bucket into a separate trough or receptacle on the outside. With these troughs much difficulty has been experienced in properly applying them to prevent disfiguration of the well-curb on the outside and to prevent the rotting and water-soaking of the curb around the edges of the trough, it being practically impossible to prevent the Water from working in between the trough and curb, this being especially the case where the bucket is tripped automatically and the water dumped into the trough with more or less splashing. These defects and others which will hereinafter appear I design to overcome; and to this end I have constructeda device embodying certain novel details of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts, all as will be hereinafter described, and pointed out particularly in the claims at the end of this speci fication.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 isa perspective view of atrough constructed in accordance with my invention, showing its application to a well-curb, a-portion of the curb being broken away to show the manner of applying the trough. Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the trough and a section of the curb. Fig. 3isa similar view illustrating a different manner of adjusting the tripping-bail. Fig. 4 is a section on the line to as, Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is an end elevation showing still another way ofv adjusting the trip- Serial No. 411,207. (No model.)
ping-bail, and Figs. 6, 7, and 8 are details of the same. 5
Like letters of reference in the several figures indicate the same parts.
In carrying the invention into practice 1' preferably form, as has heretofore been the case, the entire trough and its spout in a single casting, and, referring to the drawings, the letter A indicates the body of the trough proper, preferably rectangular in cross-section, with the inner wall inclined outward to form a wide mouth or opening to the trough, and B indicates the spout curved downward and forward with its opening at'the bottom of the trough and its mouth or exit turned outward.
The front wall of the trough is lettered C in the drawings, and in the present instance, instead of being adapted to fit against the inner side of the well-curb, it is' extended in the form of a relatively wideflange adapted to fit on the outside of the curb, as shown. Thus any water splashing from the trough does not run in between the trough and curb but drips off into the trough permitting the curb to dry at once.
In applying the trough in the manner pointed out it is only necessary to form a large rectangular opening in the well-curb, which may be easily done by cutting a single plank out between any two of the posts, no nice or accurate fitting being necessary, as is the case where the joints are to be exposed. The opening of course approximates the size of the trough, which latter is inserted from the outside and may be held in place bya variety of means. For instance, lugs D may be cast on the bottom at a proper distance from the front flange for the reception. of the edge of the curbing forming the bottom of the opening, and at the top bolts-such as d may be inserted, or holessuch as dmay be formed in cars on the ends of the trough and nails or screws passed through the same into the adjacent posts.
ing employed at the top, however, is immaterial and may be varied to suit the manufacturers taste or the exigencies of any particular case; but in every instance I prefer to-employ the projections and bottom flange to secure the bottom of the trough. I
In connection withv these troughs it is com- The kind of fasten- IOO mon to employ a bail E, which ispivotcd to the ends of the trough andis-adapted" to cooperate with the bucket in the well understood manner; but with the old contrivances either the trough has to be located and the curb built to suit the exact diameterof the. Windlass, depth of the'welh'or numberofsw perposed convolutions of the rope upon the Windlass and the size of the rope, otherwise the bucket is likely to swing free of the bail and the necessary co-operation between them is prevented. This has given rise to thepro duotion and almost universal employment of adjustable bearings for the Windlasa-and With a view of dispensing with this complicated and comparatively expensive means of overcoming the difficultyI now propose to adj ustably mountthe bale E upon the trough -in-such manner as that it is'a comparatively simple matterwhen setting up the well-curb and trough to bring the bail intoexactly the proper position -for 'cooperation with the bucket no-matterhow much the length er size of therope and diameter of the wi-ndlass be varied within reasonable limits, adapting the device at-once foruse on-wells of i any depth on with windlasses of various diameters.
The manner of adjustably mounting the bailmay vary; greatly; but I: prefer to form ase'ries of openings in each end of the trough and bend the ends of the bail outward to form journals adapted to fit in anyof theseries of holes, the bail itself havingsufficient resiliency to permit ofits being sprungout of. the
holes upon the application of 1 a reasonable force. -Where thebaihisrigid or there is danger of its'being willfully removed,za slot maybe formed in-each end of-the trough having a series of semicircular recesses g, Figs. 3 and 4, and a filling-plate G may be employed to lock the ends of the bail inany one of said recesses, the plate itself being held in place by a bolt g passing through the wall of the trough.
In Figs. 5 to 8, inclusive, the bail is shown pivoted in movable arms or pivotal pieces 72., which are pivoted to the ends of the trough by pivotal bolts or otherwise, and when itis desired to adjust thebail the pivotal bolts are loosened and the arms moved to bring the bail into the proper position. Corrugations and co-operating projections-such as IL -maybe located around the pivotal bolts to aid in holdwill usually be found suflicient.
In Figs. 5 and 6 the ends of the bail are turned out, as in Figs.-1aand.2; but in this instance the arms'havethe bearings formed therein and the endsof the trough prevent the withdrawal of the bail or thebodily movement of it toward the flOIlik'OI' back until the pivotal bolts are loosened.
The devicelas a whole willbefoundfar more efiicient than those now in use,- and; because of its easy application and almost universal adaptation to ditferent-well-tackles it fills a long-felt want in this particular line.
