No. 97,496. PATENTED DEC. 7, 1869.
T. GARLIOK; LIGHTNING ROD AND CONDUCTOR.
(limited tctcs THEO'DOTUS GARLIOK,
OF CLEVELAND, OHIO.
Letters Pie-tent No. 97,496, dated December 7, 1869.
IIQBQVEMENT IN LIGHTNING-RODS AND CONDUCTORS.
The Schedule referred. to in than Letters Patent and making part of the same To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, THEODOTUS GARLICK, of the city of Cleveland, county of Cuyahoga, and State of Ohio, have invented a new and improved Mode of Conducting and Discharging the Electric Fluid, (lightning, so called,) for the better security of life, buildings, 8m; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exactdescription thereof, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
The nature of my invention consists in providing an nttachmcnt to any electrical conductor now in use. I
refer to the compound rod or conductor, mode of copper and iron wires, and to the simple conductors, whether made of all copper or iron. These three different kinds of rods, I believe, are all that are now in use.
it may be proper to state here the more essential properties of a good electrical conductor:
First, good conducting-power,
Secondly, and of great importance, the property or qualification of discharging the electric fluid as rapidly as the conductor receives it. Indeed, it should be capable of discharging faster than the conductor receives it,in order that there may be no accumulation offluid on the conductor.
These principles embrace all that renders the elec- This imperfection has often been the cause of destruction oflii'e and property, when everything else in the conductor was perfect.
I accomplish this by the use of the following apparatus or attachments:
1 take an iron tube, (ordinary gas-pipe,) the calibre of which is about one inch in diameter, or sufficiently large to receive the lower end of the conductor, and of about eight feet, more or lcss,iu length, one end of which is'iilled with an iron plug, which is to be welded in, and water-tight, and their sharpened to a point.
This tube is then to be driven into the earth at the place where you wish to connect the conductor with the eaitln and the tube filled with water, and the conductor to be inserted into the tube. The conductor should reach the lower end of the tube.
I have said the tube should be eight feet long. I
do not mean that it must be of that length, precisely, for it would, no doubt, be sutiicient, if only six feet long; but eight or ten feet. would be ample.
The tube thus prepared is driven into the ground at the place where the lightning-rod is to terminate, and filled with water.
The evaporatingsurihce is so small, that there never will be an absence of water in the tube, even in the dryest sea-sons.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
In combination with a lightning-rod, the tube A, as shown and described.
