JOHN 7. STILES, OF NEV YORK, N. Y.
IMPROVEMENT IN MEANS FOR RAISING WATER BY STEAM.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 58,317, dated September 25, 1866.
To all 'whom t may concern Be it known that I, JOHN W. SriLns, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful improvement on a machine or apparatus for the elevation of Water or other liquids by the direct action of a jet of steam, air, or other aeriforni matters 5 and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, (and to the letters of reference marked thereon which Vis a vertical longitudinal section.
The nature of my invention consists in an.
improved machine or apparatus for raising' and forcing water or other iiuids by the direct action of a jet of steam, air, or other aeriform matters.
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, making part of this specification.
rlhe ordinary form of the apparatus (made ot metal pipe or cast of metal) would be about that of the Roman capital letter U cut into two pieces, by a -vertical cut through the horizontal part of the letter 5 the pieces being then separated horizontally a distance about equal to the diameter of the pipe. One of these pieces I call the water or elevator pipe,7 (see letter AA.) and the lower opening or end I call the water-nozzle,7 letter B. The other piece of pipe I call the stearn-pipe, letter O; the lower openingor end I call the steamnozzle, letter D.
' The bore of the nozzles should each of them have the same axis for a distance equal to or more than one diameter of the pipe. 'Ihe steam-nozzle should be about one-half the'diameter of the water-nozzle. These two pieces of pipe are held in the position described above and shown iu the drawing by anarm or brace, letter E, or other equivalent device, so that the liquid shallhave free ingress to the water-nozzle, and the steam have free egress to the water and water-nozzle, without the intervention of any surrounding or connecting globe, nozzle, chamber, box, or other device for receiving the steam, air, or water.
This would b e the common form of the apparatus 5 but it may be changed to meet the various conveniences or circumstances ofthe case in which it is to be used. The bore of the nozzles may be horizontal, vertical, or at any other angle, so that they be on the same axis or line and distance from each. other, the pipes being formed to meet the necessities and conveniences of the case.
Operation of the machine or apparatus: The apparatus being placed in the water or matter to be elevated so as to cover the two nozzles, the upper end of the water-pipe, letter F, being extended to the desired point, and a steam-pipe leading from a steam boiler connected to the upper end of the steam-pipe, letter G, of the apparatus, the steam, being let into the apparatus, rushes out through the steam-nozzle into the water in the direction of the nozzle of the water-pipe, letter B, carrying or forcing the Water into the water-nozzle and water-pipe, the quantity, distance, and height depending upon the size and length of the pipes, nozzles, and power of steam.
As a part of my invention or improvement, when the apparatus is to be used under circumstances whereit might possibly be choked or its operation be obstructed at or about the nozzles -as on board of grain-loaded vessels, by grain or other matters settling about the nozzles and obstructing the passage or access of the water to the nozzle of the water-pipe-as a remedy to be used in such cases, I place at some convenient part of the water or elevator pipe leading from theapparatus a valve, cook, or other mechanical equivalent or device, for the purpose, in case of such choking or obstruction to the working of the apparatus, that by the closing or shutting of said valve or other de vice the steam is prevented from blowing oli` through the water nozzle and pipe, and its full power or force will be thrown out of the steam-nozzle upon the matters obstructing the passage of the Water or other liquids to the Water nozzle and pipe.
I do not claim the invention of raising or elevating of water or other liquids bythe direct action of a jet of steam or air, as I am aware that that has been done by others 5 all of which, so far as I have any knowledge,A
construct their machine or apparatus upon quite a different plan, as in the two patents of Able Brear, in one of which a chamber is used, with inlet and outlet openings for suction, steam, and elevator pipes connected therewith 5 and in his other patent a curved pipe is used as a suction and elevator pipe, with an external pipe or nozzle for admitting steam into the curved pipe, and connected or attached. 'In Lansdells patent a globe or socket is used, into which the suction, steam, and elevator pipes are connected 5 and in the case of Voods patent a kind of box, with two of its sides ont for the admission of water, the steam and water pipes being connected therewith.
It will be seen that all these patents claim or use an intervening globe, nozzle, chamber, or other form of intervenii'l g arrangen'ient, for receiving the steam and water, and to which the steam, water, and suction pipes are attached, all of which rendering the apparatus more or less complex, the globe, chamber, and nozzle all interfering with the free access ot' the Water to the water nozzle and pipe, and rendering the apparatus liable to become choked and its eiciency lessened, while in my improveA nient there is no intervening globe or other device to which the nozzles of the steam or water pipes are connected, or into which the steam is discharged, or the water received and delivered from into the Water-pipe-nothing, in fact, but two ends of pipes, one smaller than the other, placed at a short distance apart, attordin g free accees to the water nozzle and pipe for both water and steam.
What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The arrangement of the nozzles or ends of the steam and water pipes, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
2. Arranging within the water or educt-ion I pipe a valve, or its equivalent, letter H, for the purpose of enabling me to cause a backpressure in such pipe, letter A, and the space which surrounds the lower end or nozzle, letter B, thereof, by which any obstructions may be removed, substantially as described.
3. The arm or brace, letter E, or its equivaa-lent, substantially as an d for the object speci tied. l
