JOSEPHINE WELOH AND SAMUEL R. MINNICH, or NICHOLASVILLE,
KENTUCKY.
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented March 26, 1907.
Application filed April 25, 1906. fierial No. 313,715.
To alZ whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that we, JOSEPHINE WnLoH i and SAMUEL R. MINNroH, citizens of the United States, residing at Nicholasville, in the county of Jessamine and State of Kentucky, have invented a new and useful Wai tering Device for Concrete Blocks, of which the following is a specification.
the joint and has a grip 8, whereby it may be readily rotated, and the lower end of the stem is preferably conical in form and is said plug. N otches 9 are formed in opposite portions of the nozzle and constitute sides for the ends of the loop 10, which extends under This invention relates to method of and I the nozzle. This loop supports a long strip apparatus for moistening cement products; 11 of felt or other absorbent material, whic and its object is to provide a simple and comis folded at its center and has corrugated pact means for conveying moisture to the obj ects while the same are being cured.
The invention consists of an improved method whereby an absorbent is utilized for supplying moisture by capillary attraction to products, said method embodying the employment of apparatus consisting of a waterdischarge device from which is suspended a strip of absorbent material adapted to be hung between rows of blocks, &c., and provided with means whereby said material Will be pressed firmly against the blocks. Water is adapted to be discharged in small quantities upon the absorbent strip and will be s read thereover by capillary attraction, and tlie moisture will thus be transferred to the blocks to facilitate the curing thereof.
The invention also consists of certain other novel features of construction and combinations of parts, which will be hereinafter more fully described, and pointed out in the claims.
the accompanying drawings is shown the preferred form of the invention. 1 In said drawings, Figure l is a perspective 1 plates 12 sewed or otherwise fastened to its adjoining faces at desired intervals. The plates of the two and the plates of each pair are connected by spring-arms 13, extending from an integral coil 14. These arms serve to constantly exert an outward tension upon the plates, and the strip, as shown in Fig. 3, 1s in the position assumed when it is confined rows of blocks.
The cement blocks to be cured are placed in parallel rows and positioned that the absorbent strips 11 can hang betweenthe pressed against the block by means of the spring-arms 13. lVater is directed from the pipe 1 to the nozzle by turning stem 7, and this water will drop onto the absorbent strips and will spread throughout the length thereof by capillary attraction, and therefore the strips 11 present moist surfaces to the blocks and facilitate the curing operation. As a result of the peculiar construction of the discharge device the water can be entirely shut off or the flow can be increased or diminished, according to the desire of the operator.
This apparatus will thoroughly wet the blocks, and the strips can be applied to them as soon as the blocks have been molded, thereby moistening them at the most desir able period during the curing operation. a result of this treatment the blocks will be made stronger and harder and more nearly of the perfect crystalli- The in an open yard and do not require any attention after they have bleen1 stacked and the strips have been app iec By corrugating the plate 12 the same is view showing the apparatus used in connection with some blocks. Fig. 2 is an enlarged section through the water-discharging device and a portion of the absorbent strip in elevation. Fig. 3 is an edge view of said strip and the spreading means therein, and Fig. 4 is a detail view of a portion ing means.
Referring to the figures by numerals of reference, l is a discharging-pipe having an outstanding portion 2, to the end of which is secured a T-joint 3, internally screw-threaded, blocks can be cured and in the downwardly-extending member of I this joint is threaded a plug 4, having a passage 5 therethrough, the inner end of the plug emg conical in form, as shown at 6, and its other end being also preferably of the same prevented from pressing too firmly against form to constitute a nozzle. A threaded the absorbent strip and will not force a large stem 7 projects into the upper member of 1 quantity of water therefrom.
of one of the spread- It is to be un faces are arranged in pairs,
derstood that the plate may be-corrugated in any face to the strip. By forming the adjoining ends of the stem 7 a plug 6 conical in form is produced, in which sand and other solid par- 1 ticles may be collected, so as to not clog the passa e 5. It is of course to be understpgd that the apparatus may be used for moistening any cement products, such as blocks, posts, &c.'
What is claimed is 1. The combination with a waterdischarge device; of an absorbent suspended therebelow and adapted to absorb water discharged therefrom, and means for exerting a lateral pressure upon the absorbent.
2. The combination with a waterdischarge device; of a folded strip suspended therefrom and adapted to receive the water from the discharge device, and resilient spreadin means interposed between the folds of t e strip.
3. The combination with a water discharge device; of a folded absorbent strip suspended thereby and adapted to receive moisture therefrom, and resilient spreading devices interposed between the folds of the strips.
4. The combination with a discharge-nozdirection, so as to present an irregular nozzle, an absorbent strip folded loop and adapted to receive moisture from the nozzle.

The combination with a discharge-nozzle and means for regulating the discharge of liquid therethrough; of a loop engaging the nozzle, an absorbent strip folded upon the loop and adapted to the nozzle and resilient spreading devices interposed between the folds of the strips.

The combination with a discharge-noz zle and means for regulating the discharge of liquid therethrough; of a loop engaging the nozzle, an loop and adapted to receive moisture from the nozzle, plates secured to the adjoining faces of the strip, and spring-arms connecting the plates constituting resilient spreading devices.
