SUCTION-PIPE F OR TANKS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 568,620, dated September 29, 1896. Application filed January 25, 1896. Serial No. 576 ,859. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES LINSTROM, of Vicksburg, in the county of Warren and State of Mississippi, have invented a new and Im proved Suction-Pipe for Tanks, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to improvements in locomotive-tender tanks for containing a supply of water, and to improved means for delivering water from the tank for use in the locomotive-boiler.
The invention has for its object the provision of an improved locomotive-tender water-tank of novel and simple construction and which is efficient in operation.
To this end the invention consists in the features hereinafter described and claimed, reference being made to the accompanying drawing, in which the figure is a side elevation.
In the said drawing the reference-numeral 1 designates a closed locomotive-tender watertank, inclosed within which is arranged a siphon-shaped pipe A, having two verticallydisposed members A A connected with each other at their upper ends by a return A preferably passing through and above the top of the tank. 'The lower end of the member A is provided with an elbow B, on which is clamped a rubber hose 0. This hose 0 is connected in the usual way to a feed-pipe forming part ofthe locomotive. The member A of the pipe A is provided near its upper and lower ends with collars 2 3, between which the top and bottom of the tank 1 are received and clamped, and near the upper end of the member A a similar pair of collars 4 is provided to, receive the top of the tank. In this manner the siphon-pipe serves the additional function of supporting or bracing the top and bottom of the tank. The lower end of the member A of the siphonshaped pipe A is provided with a funnelshaped strainer D, extending into a well E, formed in the bottom of the tank F, from which the water is to be drawn. This Well E serves also as amud-drum, and is provided with a plug or draw-off cock E, of suitable construction, for drawing off mud or other impurities collected in said well.
In the return A is arranged a lubricating and air cock G, to permit the admission of air into pipe A, so as to prevent siphoning the water out of tank F when hose 0 is disconnected from the locomotive feed-pipe, and it is also adapted to be used for lubricating the nozzle of the injector while the latter is in service.
It will be seen that by the arrangement described the water contained in tank F is readily withdrawn therefrom for use by setting the injector in motion, it being understood that the water in passing through pipe A is drawn out of the tank by the aid of vacuum formed by any suitably-constructed lifting-injector, which forms a part of the locomotive equipment.
The device is protected from freezing in cold weather, as will be apparent, since it is completely horned inside of the closed tank.
As leaves, dirt, and the like contained in thewater in the tank F readily collect in the well E and are discharged therefrom from time to time, it is evident that only very clear water is passed by the device to the boiler, and as the well E is located a little below the bottom of the tank F air is prevented from being drawn into the injector until the tank F is completely emptied of its contents.
What I claim is- 1. The combination with a closed locomotive-tender water-tank, of a siphon-shaped pipe arranged therein, open at one end to the water in the tank and at its other end connected with a hose, and means carried by said pipe receiving the top and bottom of the tank, whereby said pipe serves the additional function of supporting and bracing said tank.
2. The combination with alocomotive-tender tank, of a siphon-shaped pipe arranged water out of the tankwhen the hose becomes disconnected.
' CHARLES LINSTROM.
