EDWARD-FLEMING, OF ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, ASSIGNOR'FOR ONE-HALF TO G. J. PEASE, OFSAME PLACE.
Letters Patent No. 93,694, dated August 17, 1869.
IMPROVEMENT 1N RAIN-WATER CUT-orrs.
The Schedule referredto in these Letters Patent:A and 'making part of the sama.
Be it known that I, EDWARD ELEMING, ofthe city of Ann Arbor, in the county of Vashtenaw, and State of Michigan, have invented a new and improved Flexible Adjustable Elbow; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification. 'A
The object of my invention consists in providing an easy and convenient Inode of changing the course of the Ywater from the conductor which leads-trom the roof of a building to the cistern, so that it'shall tiow oi one side, and not enter the cistern by the main conductor. This I do by a flexible adjustable elbow, which Inow proceed to explain, so that others skilled in the art to which it pertains may understand its-construction and use.
lFigure 1 shows the device in position for conducting the water to the cistern, and
Figure 2 show s it in position for conducting itl aside.
D is the upper part of the elbow, and is so made as to slide freely over the main conductor B. I
The lower end of the piece D, at O, is bevellcd, as if to form an elbow of the desired angle, so that when the piece C, which forms the lower part of the elbow, is placed at the desired angle, the two pieces about() will be nearly water-tight. v
The piece C is so made as to slide freely over the piece D, and into the main conductor F, but is prevented from entering the latter too far by a small projection, d, which, iutig. 1, rests upon the top of the piece F.
The bevel b c. which forms the upper end of the piece C, is cut at a greater angie than is necessaryr for a rigid elbow, so that when the piece is put in position for conducting the water aside, the upper eud,vat b, shall project upward and beyond the lower end of 'the tube D, so as to retain any water which might otherwise escape between() and'C.
' The lower vend of C is retained at the proper angle4 l far into the tube C, as shown in fig. 1.
By-sliding thetube D upward on the tube B, it leaves the tube C free to be placed at an angle, or in line with the tube D, as desired.
XVhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The flexible adjustable elbow, consisting of tbe tubes O and D, with joint and slide, Iall substantially as described.
EDVARD FLEMING.
