JAMES SULLIVAN, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
DEVICE FOR REMOVING SNOW.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 716,784, dated December 23, 1902.
Application filed March 27, 1902.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JAMES SULLIVAN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have in vented a new and Improved Device for BemovingSnow, of which the followingis a full, clear, and exact description.
The purpose of the invention is to provide a simple, durable, economic, and portable device for removing snow, the device being used in connection with a stream of running water from any convenient source of supply and having its outlet end adapted to enter any opening communicating with a sewer or like conduit.
Another purpose of the invention is to so construct the device that it may be conveniently moved from place to place and so that its outlet portion will be contracted and adapted to be connected with interlocking sections, enabling the outlet portion of the device to be lengthened or shortened, according to whether its receivin -section is far from or close to the point where the melted snow is to be discharged.
The invention consists in the novel construction and combination of the several parts, as will be hereinafter fully set forth, and pointed out in the claims.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device, illustrating the manner in which it is operated. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section through the device, and Fig. 3 represents opposite ends of a removable outletsection of the device.
The frame A of the device is of skeleton form and is shown rectangular in contour; but the frame may be of any desired shape. Preferably the frame is made of metal, as light as possible consistent with strength, and said frame'is supported by legs 10, constructed in one piece or in adjustable or telescopic sections, and each leg carries a caster 0r wheel 11 at its lower end,enabling the frame to be readily moved along the ground.
The body B of the device may be made of light sheet metal, but preferably strong canfierial No, 100,253, (No model.)
body B are inclined downward and outward from the frame to a point near the outlet end, which is substantially horizontal, and the outlet end of the body is held open and in circular form by locating a split ring 14: within a hem 15 at said end, one of said rings being shown at the left in Fig. 8. The opposite portion of the chute-body is also preferably strengthened by the interiorly-located hub 16, and at the exterior of the body above the hook 16 a handle 17 is secured to enable the device to be readily moved, and the outlet end of the body B is held in engagement with the ground by legs 18, secured at its sides to the hub 16, which legs carry suitable wheels 19.
In connection with the body B any desired number of pipe-sections G are employed, which pipe-sections may be of any length, and the pipe-sections C are preferably made of canvas or a strong fabric; but metal may be used when necessary. When the pipesections are made of canvas, a hem 20 is made at one end, and a split ring 21 is contained in one hem, while an unbroken ring 22 is in the other hem, so that in coupling the sections of the device the end of one section carrying a split ring may be contracted and made to enter the end of another section carrying an unbroken ring. The pipe-sections may be provided with attached wheels or rollers to hold them off the ground, if desired, and to render the device readily removable from place to place.
The body of the device is placed as near as possible to a source of water-supp1ya hydrant D, for example-and a hose D is led from the hydrant into the chute-body at its mouth, and the outlet end of the device is passed into a convenient sewer or manhole E the snow is shoveled into the mouth of the device, the supply of Water being continued, and the stream thus obtained will readily carry the snow from the body-section ,of the device into the pipe-section and from thence to the sewer, the major portion of the snow being practically melted upon reaching the sewer, so that in practice it has been found the snow will pass off from the body-section of the device as rapidly as it can be shoveled in.
When the conducting portion of the device is made of canvas, as it usually is, said device may be compactly folded and stored in a small compass when not in use.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. A device for removing snow, consisting of a portable frame, a chute-body attached to the said frame and having an inclined bottom, a pipe extension from the delivery end of the body, and means for supplying water to the said body-section, for the purpose described.
2. A device for removing snow, consisting of a portable frame, a folding chute-body attached to the frame, and folding pipe-sections detachably connected one with the other and removably connected with the body of the device, and means for supplying water to the body-section, as set forth.
3. A device for removing snow, consisting of a skeleton frame, supports for the frame, a body of yielding material secured to the frame and extending beyond a side thereof, the top and bottom of the chute-body being inclined downward and outward to its outlet end, roller-supports for the outlet end of the body, pipe-sections likewise made of a pliable material, which pipe-sections are arranged for detachable connection one with the other and for removable engagement with the outlet end of the body, and means, substantially as described, for supplying water to the body section of the device, as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. 4
