Description
IRRIGATING DE VICE.y l
'lo all whom it ma y concern:
Bc it known that I, MALCOLM D. MoFAR-- Lam-2, a citizen of the United States, residing at Aspen, in the county of Pitkin and State of Co orado, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Irrigating Devices and l do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in thc art to which it appertains to make and use the saine, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
M v invention relates to'im irovements in devires adapted to be placed in irrigating lateigals for the ,purpose of causing the water to oijeillow theground adjacent the lateral.
The object. of my improvement is to provide ia device of economical construction whichl shall elliciently perform the aforesaid function; and to this end my improvement consis s of a frame composed of two hinged members which when open to their limit of movement occupy positions perpendicular or approximate y perpeni'licular to each other. `To one of these membeis is secured a canvas'ipron having a fiap at its'lower extremity a apted to lie upon the bottom of the lateral, and lateral wings connected with the, sides of the a ron-carrying member, the said wings being 'rec to swing whereby when I the device is placed in the lateral, these wings may rest against the sides of the lateial. Each wing is provided with a stifi'ening device preferably composed of a wooden slat. These slats give the wings suilicient rigidity to prevent their folding down against the bod vof the apron.` The object of the wings is to ,rovide the apron with means to prevent t te water from running around the device at the sides. It often happens that the sides of thedateral are not perpendicular, but more or less` inclined. The wings of the apron just described, are adapted to engage the sides of the lateral, regardless of the exact shape of its walls.` The sti'tl'ening slats hold the wings in operative position, while the canvas portion of the apron nevertheless extends beyond the wings, thereby providing a`-\llexible feature adapted to lie closely againsghe walls of the lateral regardless of `Spe'cication of Let'tels Patent.Y Applicationfiled June 25, 1907. Serial No. 380,680.
Patentedysiitii, 1908.
their irregular contour. The body of the apron is secured to the apron-carrying inembei in any suitable manner and serves to dam up the water of the lateral whereby 1t UNTTED sTATEs PATENT ernten,
is caused to overflow theadjacent ground to be irrigated as heretofore explained.
IIaving briefly outlined my im )roved dcvice, I will proceed to describe the same in detail reference being made to the accompanying drawing in which is illustrated an embodiment thereof. Y
In this drawing, Figure l is a perspective view showing my improved device open or in position for use. Fig. 2 is a section of the device shown in side view, the same being shown inserted in the lat-eral or inv position for use.l
The saine reference characters indicate the same parts in both views.
Let the numerals 5 and 6 designate the -two members of my improved device` the said members being connected by hinges 7 whereby they may be opened tothe operative p0- sition as shown in the drawing, or folded into small compass when notin use or for convenience of transportation. The member 5 is provided with a shoulder or offset S which is engaged by the extremity 9 of the member 6. The frame work of these two members may be of any' suitable construction. As shown in the drawing the member 5 consists of two parallel side bars 10 connected by cross pieces 12; while the member 6 consists of two parallel members 1 3 connected by cross pieces 14. T o the cross pieces l2 are secured in any suitable manner, a canvas covering 15. As shown in the drawing this canvas covering is secured to the cross pieces by means of fastening. devices 16. The canvas4 is preferably formed double whereby a heavy apron is formed. The body part 15 of the apron is pi'ovidcd at its lower extremity with a loose llap 17. It is also provided at its opposite side edges with men'ibeis 18 extending beyond the frame 5 and carrying reinforcing slats 1-9 preferably inserted between the two canvas layers. The members 1S aremovable since their canvas connection with the. body 15 at the opposite sides of the apron, .constitutes hinges, forming in effeet hinged wings adapted to swing freely back and forth, into engagement with the side walls of the lateral, regardless of the exact contourof the sanie. These wings 18 have longitudinal canvas extensions 18, which project beyond the stiffeniiig or rein- .iorcing shits 19.
' When the device is in use it is'opened to the position shown iii the d rawing, or in sueh a. manner that the two frame nienibei'soc- `eupy positions it right :ingles or :ipproxi- `mately at right :ingles or perpendicu :i-i to yeach other. The device is'then placed in the lateral 20, so that the free or lower ends of the frzinie ineinbeis, rest upon the bot-toni of `the lateral, and with the apron portion ooeu' pyiiig the. up-strezi-ni position or opposed to the eui'rent or flow of the witter in the. lateral. The llzip 17 naturally hugsY the bottoni of the lateral, whereby the waiter is prevented from passing underneath the device; while the 20 wings 1S, full outwardly' figa-inst the walls or banks of the lateral. Then when the water is turned on, these devices, dem up the witter in the lateral and cause it to overflow the. adiacent territory yas heretofore` eil plained.
Having 4thus described iny invention, what l clziini is':
In :in irrigating device of the class describe'ihthe combination of two frani'e meinb'ei's hinged together :ind adapted to occupy positions at e. suitsible :ingle toezich other when both are :it their liniit of inoveinent, si
cover of 'flexible material with whi'eh'oiie of the nionibeis is provided, the siii'd innte'rial extending downwardly beyond the fraiiie nieniber :ind outwardly :it the sides thereof in presence of two witnesses.
