IMPROVEMENT 'IN WATER-DRAWERS.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, JAMES DAYKIN, of Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga, and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful vIrrlprovements in Water-Drawers and do hereby declare that the following is a full and complete description ot' the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a perspective view of the drawer.

Figure 2, a top view with the cover detached.

Figure 3, a vertical section.

Like letters of reference refer to like parts in the se'veral parts and views presented.

A, fig. 1, is the case or curb, across the top of which ishung the wheel B, on the shaft C, having its bearings in the side ot' the curb. D, iig. 3, is a bucket, suspended to the chain or rope E, and counterbalanced by the weight F. llhis chain is of the ordinary kind, whereas the chain formerly used in this drawer was a flat one, especially made for this purpose with great expense and with loss durability. In the bottom ofthe bucket is a valve, G, to which is connected the rod H, and by which it is operated in a manner as hereafter shown.

The practical operation of this drawer is as follows: lhe bucket on being drawn up by the crank K, die., is then discharged of its contents by the rod Il (which, it will be seen, projects above the rim of the bucket) striking against the headboard I, which depresses the rod, and thereby opens the valve G. At the same time the inner side of the rim ofthe bucket strikes against the tilting-board L, the position of which, being slanting in the direction as shown in tig. 3, throws the bottom ofthe bucket forward over the receiver M, into which the water is discharged through the bottom o t the bucket; from thence, through the spout N, to the outside of the Curb. The position of the bucket when thus tilted and discharging through the open valve is indicated by the dotted lines a in tig. 3, and in which ligure it will be seen that the head-board referred to is thrown upward in line with the top of the bucket, and thereby allows the cndof the rod ll. to be acted upon to the full opening of the valve, which would not be the case if the head-board were rigidly horizontal, as the end of the rod docs not strike until the bucket is tilted, the distance being too great between the rim of the bucket and the tiltingboard. Thus it will be seen that the head-board adapts itself to the conditions of the bucket, as it is deflected by the tilting-board L, and therefore allows the rod to open thc valve to its full extent. The head-board I, being weighted, causes it to return to its horizontal position as the bucket descends. The said board is secured to the shaft J, and is pivoted or hung at eaehiend to the sides ot' the curb, or otherwise so hinged as to admit of its adjusting itself to the tilting of the bucket. By means ofthe tilting-board L the bucket, when drawn up to discharge its water, is first tilted to the position noted by the dotted lines a, fig. 3; and when it is up in this position the rod H is brought in contact with head-board I, causing the valve G to open to discharge the water. lhe bucket is at all times first so tilted that the bottom will be over the receiver M before the rod H is acted upon by the head-board I in opening the valve. It matters not in which way the bucket may turn in rising, as the rod H will always be brought at some point under the head-board I, which readily adjusts itself to the top of the tipped bucket, so as to bring the rod H in contact with it; andas this board or pla-tc Lis hinged or pivoted it does not open the valve until after the bucket is tilted by the board L, as shown.

As before said, by this arrangement ofthe head-board an ordinary chain or rope is used, as it can make no difference on which part of the board the end ofthe rod may strike; hence the flat chain' referred to is dispensed with, and that with increased advantage, as the .apparatus can be manufactured at less expense by using the ordinary chain than by the use of the flat one especially made for the purpose. It also acts with greater certainty and regularity, and is much stronger and more durable.

What I claim as my improvement, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The pivotcd head-board l, arranged in relation to the valve of the bucket substantially as and for the purpose specified.

2, The adjustable head-board or plate I, and tilting-board L, in combination with a chain or rope, E, valverod H, and bucket D, when `arranged and operating in relation te each other, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

JAMES DAYKIN.
