' PENNSYLVANIA.
.LOCOMOTIVE-TENDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 545,866, dated September 3, 1895.
Application filed February 20, 1894-, Serial No. 500,885. (No model.)
in charging locomotive tenders with water,
from a storage-reservoir. This object we attain by constructing the tender in such a manner that the water'can flow therein directly from the outlet-pipe of thereservoir.
In the accompanying drawing, the figure is a rear vlew of a locomotive-tender, partlyin section, and also illustrates in section part of the storage-tank.
catcher, as shown in the figure.
A is the tender, having the usualtank A, and at one or both sides of the tender is a neck a, which can be closed by a cover a, hinged at a, said cover being hinged'in the present instance to the outer edge of the tender and provided with a suitable stop, so that when opened the cover will act as a. drip This neck. a may be made circular or may be made sufficiently wide to allow forany inaccuracies in stopping the train, so that the opening can be readily aligned with the nozzle F of the storage-tank.
D is a reservoir into which water is pumped in any suitable manner, and extending from g the base of this reservoir is a pipe F, having an inclined nozzle F, inclined at such an angle that when the valve f is opened water will flow by gravity through the pipe and be directed by the nozzle into the neck a of the tender. The valve f is pivoted at f and is connected to the lever g by a rod or chain g, and this lever in turn is connected to the operating rod or chain 9 so that the fireman can readily open the valve and allow water to flow by gravity from the reservoir into the tender-tank.
We arrange a neck a on each side of the tender, as shown in the drawing, so that the tender-tank can be readily filled from one nozzle whether it is headed up or down the track. In some instances the nozzle F may be connected to a water-elevator actuated by fluid under pressure from the locomotive without departing from the main feature of our in- 'vention.
We claim as our inventiona 1. The combination in a. tender, of the tank, necksat each side of the tender and connected tothe tank and through one of which water is discharged from a nozzle into the tank, substantially as described.
' 2. The combination in a tender, of the tank, an inclined neck at each side of the tender, a cover pivoted to the outer edge'of each neck and a stop to limit the movement of the cover so that it will act as a drip catcher, substantially as described. t
In testimonywhereotwe have signed our names to-this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. v
