WALLACE LAFAYETTE SELLECK, 0F DARLlNG-TON, 'WltlCllrllll- SPECIFGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 783,900, dated February 22B, 1905.
Application filed December 28, 1903. Serial No. 186,871.
Be it known that I, WALLACE LAFAYETTE SuLLnoK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Darlington, in the county of Lafayette and State of l/Visconsin. have invented certain new and useful improvements in Hydrants, of which the following is a specilication.
My present invention relates to improvements in hydrants, and has special reference to a hydrant in which no packing is eniployed and which is so arranged as not to be a'llieeted by the frost.
To attain these objects, the invention consists of novel features of construction and combination of parts, substantially as set forth herein.
ln the accompanying drawings, liigurel is a side elevation of a complete hydrant. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view thereof, showing the parts in the position they assume when water is flowing from the hydrant. Fig. 3 is a similar view showing the parts in the position they assume when water is shut off. Fi 1 is a sectional view taken on line :l: :r of Fig. 3.
Referring to the drawings, the numeral l designates the entrance-pipe, which is secured to the barrel Q, provided upon one wall with the downwardly-extending portion 3 and the upper threaded end 4:. Mounted within the barrel is a disk 5, which has secured thereto a down wardly-exteinling wall (i, which provides a curved channel 7, leading from the lower end of the barrel to a point above the disk o, as clearly shown in Figs. 2 and 8. l'lavingI its ends secured to the threaded end a of the barrel is a head 8 of the hydrant, which is provided with a cap 9 and an outlet-spout 10, and surrounding the cap and extending' below is a casing 1l, which is employed to prevent the frost from affecting the hydrant. Passing through the cap of the hydrant and extending down through the disk 5 is an operatingrod '12, whose lower end is secured to the donne 13 of the valve le. rlfhis valve is adapted to be raised or lowered within the chamber 15 of the barrel 2, so as to control the passage of water through the channel to the upper end of the barrel and out through the spout of the hydrant. W hen the valve is raised, it assuines the position as shown in Fig. 3 and water is prevented from passing through the channel 7, and the dome 13 enters the recess 16 in the bottoni of the dish 5 and closes all leakage through the opening 17, through which the rod 12 is adapted to slide.
The valve 111 is of a peculiar construction and is composed, respectively, of the downwardly-projecting stationary guide-wall f8 and the hinged flap or wall li), which is provided with an opening 2l). rl`his wall or lap li) is hinged at 2l. by means oll the two lugs 22 and 23, respectively. (clearly shown in Fig. 411,) to the upper portion 13 of the valve. and by reason of the pressure of water from below the tlap 19 is adapted to spread outward, so as to tightly iinpinge the sides of the wall of the barrel 2, and when the entire valve .let is inoved up or down by the rod it.) the flap 19 will control thellow of water freni the lower part of the barrel to the upper end thereof. lVhen the valve is held upward in its upniost position, as shown in Fig. 3, the solid portion of the liap 19 will be opposed to the lower end of the channel 7 and will prevent any passage of water therethrough, and when lowered, as in lfig. 2, the ')lvieliiiig Q() will be in line with the mouth of the channel Tand will allow free passage of the water from the lower end of the barrel through the hydrant. The in'essure of water Ironi below will always tend to lnove the llap lil outward, so as to keep its outer surface in close contact with the interior of the barrel inthe chamber l5 and the wall (l. Thus when the valve is in the position as shown in Fig. 3 no water is allowed to flow to the channel 7; but as soon as the valve is lowered, as in Fi 2, the water is allowed to pass through the opening` 2l), through the channel T, and out of the hydrant.
`From the foregoing (.lescription. taken in connection with the drawings, it is evident that l provide a hydrant embodying novel features of construction and one which will be protected from the frost or freexing and is therefore thoroughly eilicient and practical in use.
That l elairn as new, and desire to secure Y by Letters Patent, is
1. ln a hydrant, the combination of a barlOO rel provided with an inlet-opening, a disk having a downwardly-extending wall mounted within the barrel providing a valve-chamber and dividing the barrel into an upper and lower communicating chamber, a valve slidingly mounted within the valve-chamber provided with a hinged wall having an outlet, a removable cap carrying a spout secured to the upper end of the barrel and means passing through the cap and connected to the valve for operating` the valve.
2. ln a hydrant, the combination of a barrel provided with an inlet-channel, a disk having a downwardly-extending wall mounted within the barrel providing a valve-chamber and dividing the barrel into an upper and lower communicating' chamber, a valve slidingl7 mounted within the valve-chamber provided with a hinged wall having an outlet, a removable cap carrying a spout secured to the upper I end of the barrel, means passing through the cap and connected to the valve for operating l the valve, and a jacket surrounding the barrel and cap projecting above and below the junction thereof, for the purpose set forth.
3. VIn a hydrant the combination of a barrel provided with an outlet-opening,a disk having a downwardly-extending wall mounted within the barrel providing1 a valve-chamber and dividing the barrel into an upper and lower communicating chamber; a valve mounted within the valve-chamber provided with an outlet, a removable cap Carrying a spout Secured to the upper end of the barrel, and means passing through the cap and connected to the valve for operating the valve, for the purpose set forth.
In testimon)7 whereof I afiixmy signature in presence of two witnesses.
WALLACE LAFAYETTE SELLECK.
