AUTOMATIC CUT-OFF.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 718,012, dated January 6, 1903. Application filed October 18,1902- Serial No. 127,809. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, BENJAMIN-F. D. MILLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Wooster, in the county of Wayneand State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in Automatic Cut-Offs, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to automatic cut-ofis for drain -spouts connecting with eavestroughs, and has for its object to construct a device which will permit the dirty water from the first rain that falls after an extended dry period to waste and not contaminate the cistern and then automatically operate to permit the remainder of the water to run into the cistern. i
The simple and novel construction employed by me in carrying out my invention is fully described and claimed in this specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming a part thereof, in which Figure l is aside elevation of my device. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the same. Fig. 3 is an edge elevation of the gear-casing with the threaded shaft bearing the weight.
shown in section.
Like numerals of reference designate like parts in the different views of the drawings.
The numeral 1 designates an inverted Y having a stem 2 and arms 3 and 4, constructed of piping. The stem 2 is constructed to be coupled to a drain-pipe (not shown) at a point near the ground, the arm 3 is connected to a pipe 5, (shown only in fragment,) which connects with a cistern, and the arm 4 is connected to a spout 6, set to discharge water onto the ground. Mounted in the stem 2 at the junction of the arms 3 and 4is a valve 7, carried by a horizontal shaft 8, bearing a crank-arm 9, situated outside of the pipe and constructed to assume its elevated position whenthe valve is set to close the arm 3. A water-wheel 10 is mounted horizontally in the spout 6 and is adapted to be operated by the water flowing through the spout. The wheel 10 is keyed on a vertical worm-shaft 11, which meshes with a large gear 12, located in a semicircular casing 13, connected to the spout 6. The gear 12 is keyed on a shaft 14,
which is journaled in the casing 13 and extends beyond the same.
The outer end of the shaft 14 is threaded at 15 for a portion of its length to adapt it to engage a threaded boss 16, formed on the upper end of a slotted weight 17, which is connected to the crankarm 9 on the valve-shaft S by a flexible member 18.
When a rain is expected, the arm 9 is raised up, so that the valve 7 will direct the water to the spout 6 and prevent its entering "the cistern-pipe 5, and the weight 17 hung on the inner part of the threaded portion 15 of the shaft 14. As soon as the water starts running down the spout 6 it will turn the water-wheel 10 and drive the shaft 11, which weight 17 out to the end thereof, when it will drop off, thereby lowering the crank-arm 9 to rotate the valve and cut off the water from the spout 6 and direct it into the cistern-pipe 5. The length of time the water is allowed to runto waste can be regulated by varying the point at which the weight 17 is set on the threaded portion 15 of the shaft 14.
I do not wish to be limited as to details of construction, as these may be modified in many particulars without departing from the spirit of my invention.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-- 1. In an automatic cut-off for drain-spouts, the combination with two intersecting pipes, of a valve located at the junction of said pipes, a water-wheel mounted in one of said pipes, a shaft having a threaded end, means connecting said shaft and said wheel, a weight constructed to engage the threaded end of said shaft and to be displaced therefrom by the revolution of said shaft, and means connecting said weight and said valve, substantially as described.
2. In an automatic cut-off for drain-pipes, the combination of a waste-spout and a cistern-pipe forming a junction, a valve mounted at said junction, a shaft having a threaded portion, means operated by the flow of water through said waste-pipe to drive said shaft, a weight constructed to be engaged by the threaded portion of said shaft and to be displaced therefrom by the rotation thereof, and
means connecting said valve and said weight to operate said valve when said Weight falls off of the said shaft, substantially as described.
3. In an automatic cut-off for drain-pipes, the combination with a waste-spout and a cistern-pipe forming a junction, a shaft bearing a crank-arm and a valve which is located at said junction, a shaft having a threaded end, a weight constructed to engage the threads on said shaft and to be disengaged therefrom by the rotation of said shaft, means connecting said weight and said crank-arm, a waterwheel mounted in said waste -spout, and means connecting said shaft and said Waterwheel whereby said shaft is driven, substantially as described.
4. In a device of the class described, a shaft having a threaded end, means for driving said shaft, a Weight constructed to engage the threaded end of said shaft and to be disengaged therefrom by the rotation of said shaft, and a valve constructed to be operated by said weight on being disengaged from said shaft, substantially as described.
5. In a device of the class described, the combination of a waste-spout and a cisternpipe forming a junction, a worm-shaft bearing a water-wheel mounted in said spout, a shaft having a threaded end and bearing a gear located to mesh with said worm-shaft, a weight constructed to engage the threads on said shaft and to be displaced therefrom by the rotation of said shaft, a shaft bearing a crank-arm and a valve which is located at said junction, and a flexible member connecting said crank-arm and said weight, substantially as described.
6. In an automatic cut-off for drain-pipes, the combination with a waste-pipe and a cistern-pipe forming a junction, a crank-shaft bearing a valve located at said junction, a shaft having a threaded end, a slotted weight bearing a threaded boss engaging said shaft, a flexible member connecting said weight and said crank, a Water-wheel mounted in said waste-pipe, and means connecting said waterwheel and said threaded shaft, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witmesses.
