NITED STATES ROBERT ZINSMAYER, OF GALION, OHIO.
LOCOMOTIVE ATTACHMENT FOR SUPPLYING STEAMATO PUMPS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 479,870, dated August 2, 1892.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, ROBERT ZINSMAYER, of Galion, in the county of Crawford and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for Enabling Locomotives to Furnish Steam-Supply for Pumping Apparatus of Locomotive Tater- Supply Tanks; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exactdescription of the invention, such as Will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to an improvement in locomotive attachments for supplying steam to pumps.
I have devised an apparatus, a preferred form of which is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, that is a view in perspective of said apparatus. l
A represents a locomotive water-supply tank, and B represents a locomotive stopping en route for a supply of Water.
C represents a pump-house, C the steampump located in the pump-house, andD the system of Water-pipes that connects the Water-discharge of the pump with tank A, as heretofore.
E represents a steam-pipe that is adapted to conduct the steam to the pump for operating the latter. Pipe E has one or more upright branches E connected therewith, the, latter preferably terminatingin acheck-valve e, that in turn connects with a hose or flexible tubing E2, the latter being Weighted in any suitable manner-for instance, by an annular or cylindrical casting mounted on said tubing, as shown at e. The iexible tubing terminates in one member or half of a coupling e2, that is held in an elevated position them, but Will not admit the passage of member e2, and the latter by means of Weight e aforesaid is normally held against slats or rods ffout of the Way of passing trains. The steam-dome of the locomotive, for instance, is provided with a T G, the puppet-valve being elevated from the position it has heretofore occupied and seated at the upper end of T G, the side opening. of the T discharging into a pipe H, extending to the back end of the roof ot the cab of the locomotive and preferably .connecting by means of a T h With tWo lateral branches l I, that terminate, respectively, in the other half or member of the coupling'e the branch pipesI being each provided with a valve t'.
For convenience in accommodating a locomotive en route in one direction or the other I prefer the construction shown in the drawing, Where the steam-pipe E is extended and provided with the connecting members E e E2, die., at either side of the water-supply tank A.
With the apparatus hereinbefore described, the steam ot` the locomotive being used to operate the steam-pump, not only a great saving in fuel is effected, but the attendance of the man heretofore required at the pumphouse is dispensed with, Water is pumped into the tank at the same time that Water is discharged therefrom, keeping the tank amply supplied, and all the additional Work devolved upon the engineer or fireman is the connection and disconnection of flexible tubing C2 with the respective pipe l and the opening 'and closing of the respective valve t', and
the steam generally blown off can be utilized, if desired.
TVhat I claim is- The combination, with a locomotive Watersupply tank and a steam-pump connected with said tank, of a steam-pipe connected Wit-h the steam-pump, said pipe having a hose or flexible tubing connected therewith, and a rack or suitable support located at the side of the track for holding the discharge end of said iiexible tubing in an elevated position, substantially as indicated, said iiexible tubing having suitablev means connected therewith for normally holding the discharge end of tion, in the presence of twowitnesses, this 5th said tubing against the rack or support aforeday of October, 1891. said, said flexible tubing being adapted to be connected with the steam-supply of alooo- ROBERVl ZINbMAYER 5 motive, substantiallyY as and for the purpose WVitnesses:
