STOCK-WATERING APPARATUS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 16, 1906.
Application filed May 4, 1905. Serial No. 258,824.
of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Stock-Watering Apparatus, of which the foli lowing is a specification.
The invention relates to improvements in?I structed of cast metal; but any other suitstock-watering apparatus.
The object of the present invention is tol improve the construction of stock-watering apparatus and to provide a simple and comil paratively inexpensive one designed to be connected with the water-supply of a city or farm and provided with means for automatically'controlling the iiow of water under any pressure.
A further object of the invention is to pro-1` vide a stock-watering apparatus of this character in which the accumulation of sediment beneath the float of the valve will not operate to cause a leakage and consequent waste i of water and in which the valve mechanism will not become inoperative and leak should the apparatus get out of plumb through settling of the main casing on the platform or other part. l
Another object of the invention is to enable the water within the tank or trough of the apparatus to be cheaply heated suiiiciently to prevent the water from freezing, wherebyT the apparatus is adapted to be used throughout 'the entire year at a very low cost.
With these and other objects in view the invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out inI the claims hereto appended, it being understood that various changes in the form, proportion, size, and minor details of construction within the scope of the claims may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical sectional viewvof the stock-watering apparatus constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the lower section or heating-chamber of the main casing. Fig. 5 is an enlarged detail sectional view of the iioat and the valve.
Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawings.
1 and 2 designate upper and lower sections of a main casing which is preferably conable material may be employed in the construction of the stock-watering apparatus, and the casing at the corners may be either round or square. The upper and lower sections are substantially rectangular in horizontal section, with the exception that the front is bowed at opposite sides of the center.
gf The upper section, which constitutes a tank or trough, is provided with a depending flange 3 to receive or fit over the top of the lower section, which is provided with an in- Wardly-extending horizontal flange 4 to form a seat for the upper section. The interlocking of the upper and lower sectionsby means of the flange 3 prevents any water from entering the lower section from the exterior. The two sections are firmly clamped together by means of a vertical supply-pipe 5, piercing the bottoms of the sections and provided with upper and lower nuts 6 and 7 for engaging the lower faces of the said bottoms and having means for engaging the upper face of the bottom of the upper section. This means preferably consists of a valve-casing 8, having a iiange 9 at the lower end forming an annular shoulder for engaging the upper-face of the bottom of the upper section 1. The nuts 6 and 7 are arranged on the threaded portions of the supply pipe, and by screwing them a ainst the bottoms of the sections 1 and 2 t e latter are firmly clamped in their interlocked relation.
The upper section is provided with a top 10, having circular openings 11, located at the bowed or bulging portions of the front and adapted to permit hogs and other animals to obtain access to the water within the upper section. The flow of water is contro ed by a valve 12, movable upwardly and downwardly within the casing 8 and tapered toward its top and bottom. The valve is provided with a stem 13, and the valve-cas- IOO opening, the movement being limited by up-l per and lower stops consisting of nuts 20 and 21. which are adjustable to regulate the movement of the float independently of the valve for controlling the level of the water within the tank or trough. When the float engages the upper stop, it closes the valve and shuts off the flow of water, and as the water1 is consumed the float drops, opens the valve, and causes the water to flow from the supply-1 pipe 5. The float and the valve are adapted to automatically control the flow of water, as will be readily understood, and any accumulation or sediment beneath the float will not operate to open the valve and causel the waste of water, but will only operate to' close the valve and shutoff the supply of water. Also owing to the tapered form of the valve and the circular valve-casing any settlingof the main casing will not affect the operation of the valve, which will operate whether it is perfectly plumb or not. Also the supply-pipe may be connected with the water-supply of a city, where the pressure is heavy, or with the supply of a farm, where the water-pressure is comparatively light, and it will be positive in its operation under any pressure of water.
Within the lower section or heating-chamber is arranged a heating device 22, consisting of a lamp having a burner 23 and a cylindrical oil-reservoir 24, which extends through and below the bottom of the lower section of the casing and which is connected by a small supply-pipe 25 with an oil-tank 26, lo-
cated beneath a platform 27, `on which the main casing is mounted, as clearly illustrated in Fig. 1 of the drawings. By this construction and arrangement only a small quantity of oil is within the reservoir of the lamp, and there is no danger of an explosion, and a considerable quantity of oil may be placed within the oil-tank 26, so that the heating device may be left for a considerable time without attention. Any suitable means may be provided for shutting off the flow of the oil when changing the wick or when removin the burner from the oil-reservoir 24 of the amp for any other purpose. The lamp is located The stem is threaded to receive the nuts, 1
'emr
beneath a tube 28, which constitutes a chimney and which is located beneath an imperforate portion of the top of the upper section or casing. The chimney-tube 28, which has a threaded lower end, pierces the bottom of the upper section 1 and is provided with upper and lower nuts 29, arranged to clamp the lower end ofthe tube 28 tightly to the bot- 7ol tom of the upper section 1.
The lower section or heating-chamber is provided at one side with a sliding door 30, arranged in suitable guides or ways 31 and adapted to be readily opened to afford access to the interior of the heating-chamber; but any other desired construction may be IpIloyed for this purpose.
