@with tant @anni @Hita IMPROVEMENT IN IRUN GUTTERS.
EDWARD WHITEHEAD, 0F CINCINNATI, OHIO. Letters Patent No. 59,804, dated .November 20, v1866.
SE'EGIFICATION.
TO WHOM IT MAY GONCERN:
Be it known that I, EDWARD WHITEHEAD, olf-Cincinnati, Hamilton county, Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gutters, and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings making part of thisA speciflcation:
My invention relates to that kind of gutter whose upper surface' is ush or level with the sidewalk or pavement, and whose oiice it is to conduct water and other liquids from the house into the street gutter or sewer, and my improvement consists in so constructing such gutters as'to prevent them from bursting by the freezing of the contents in winter, and also so as to permit of their being cleared of any sediment or trash which might accumulate in them.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a gutter embodying myimprovements.
Figure 2 represents a modification of my invention. l
The gutter proper consists of a cast-iron trough, having vertical sides, A A', a concave bottom, B, and a top, C. Y
The top, C, is traversed by a longitudinal slot, D, for a purpose to be presently explained.
The inner end of the gutter, or that end which is furthest from the curb, terminates in au enlargement or catch-basin, E, for the receptionrofl water from the house-top or slops from the kitchen. This basin may be a. cylindrical vessel, as shown in iig. 1, or may have an octagonal or other form; see g. 2.
In iig. l the cover of the catch-basin, E, is provided with a circular opening' for the reception of the lower end of the tubular gutter-shoe, G, or the basin maybe open-mouthed, as in fig. 2, to receive a shoe, H, of ordinary form. v
The provision of the longitudinal slot, D, enables the gutter to be cleared of lany obstruction by simply passing a stick down through said slot, and by drawing the stick along the slot the impediment is forced out at the mouth of the gutter.
Should,however, the gutter become choked up in winter time, it could not be injuriouslyl aiected thereby, as the slot, D, would alford a ventage or relief for the contents in the act of congealing. l
If the gutters were cast without the slot, D, they would invariably burst when their contents froze, thus making them a source of expense and annoyance to the owners of the property and to pedestrians.
The gutters can be cast in sections without the catch-basins, and, if desired, they can be united together in the same manner as water or gas pipes are, thereby producing a continuous slotted gutter of any convenient length, which would be useful for conveying water, &c., from the back yards into the street.
The top or cover of the gutter being cast in one piece with the sides and bottom, it cannot be displaced orA stolen, and as the top is smooth and llush with the sidewalk, it offers no obstruction to travel.
I claim, as a new article of manufacture- The cast-iron gutter, A, A', B, C, when provided with the longitudinal slot, D, as and for the purposes herein described and set forth. y Y
In testimony of which invention I` hereunto set my hand.
. EDWARD W HITEHEAD.
