CLASS 85: aqueduct.

Addition to patent no. 43254 of November 11, 1887.

Fatentirt in the German Empire from April 21, 1888. Longest duration: November 10, 1902.

The present invention is only intended to improve upon that under patent No. 43254 patented apparatus, partly in areas where. rapid evaporation of the water is not possible to quickly put the apparatus into its own after the rain has stopped to be able to bring it back to its normal position, so that the same thing immediately when it rains again can function again, and on the other hand the water running off from the containers partly to continue, partly to use for cleaning the containers and that for use Draw off the necessary water.

On the accompanying drawing show:

Fig. Ι a longitudinal section through the separator,

Fig. 2 is a section through the to be brought into connection with the water tanks Combined apparatus for draining the water, for rinsing the container and for removing it des. service water.

The unchanged parts of the main patent are in the accompanying drawing with the same letters as in patent 'No. 43254, the other parts marked with numbers.

Exactly as in the main patent, the water collected from the roof or roofs first goes through a strainer to catch leaves or other coarse dirt and then through the cover b of the separator c into the vertical, downwardly conical pipe d , the lower end of which opens into a channel or a trough e from which the water for gardening or other purposes is drained.

The tube d is also rotatably mounted at its upper cylindrical end about pin f , and attached to a lever g, at one end of which the bowl h and at the other end the counterweight i are arranged (see patent specification No. 43254, column 2, Paragraph 2).

In the present improvement, the water does not come into this bowl h from the lid of the separator, but from the one leading into the tapered tube d. Tube 1, from which a small tube 2 with an arbitrary opening is led to the bowl h , in order to pass through it only a certain predetermined amount of water, which is sufficient to lift the counterweight i , to the bowl, from where it does not enter the Channel e, but respectively through pipe d in the separator. flows into the container 3.

So that after the rain has stopped the pipe d can quickly return to its normal position without having to wait for the slow evaporation of the water in the bowl h , a drainpipe 4 leads from it, which is located on its upper part within the bowl h is perforated so that a sufficient amount of water can immediately drain from the bowl h through the same to lower the counterweight i again, whereby

through tube d also returns to its initial position.

With the reservoir (V of the patent specification of the main patent), instead of the previous overflow, Drainage and supply pipes, the combined apparatus shown in FIG. 2 for drainage of the water, for rinsing the containers and tapping the service water in connection brought. As can be seen from this drawing, a drain knee pipe 5, which is provided with flange 6 and moves horizontally on the supports 7, with the elastic rings 8 sealed against the inside of the reservoir; a second through the Elbow tube 10 leading to the wall 9 of the reservoir with flange 11, which is guided in 18, is movably arranged within the tube 5 and against the outside of the reservoir with an elastic ring 12 sealed; a cross tube 13 and bolts 14 are T-shaped Tube 15 and fixed in tube 5.

A tube 16 goes through tube ι ο, which is provided with a cock 17 at its outer end.

With the improvement described above, the overflowing water passes through pipe 5 and 10 through, can flow out of the pipe 10, as the arrow indicates. The contents of the container is tapped through tap 17 as required. If the reservoir is to be rinsed, so the nut 20 is screwed back completely, whereby the water is large Quantities at 19 can leak.

Claims (2)

Patent claims: On the under No. 43254 patented apparatus for collecting, filtering and storing rainwater, the following interrelated improvements: 1. the pipe 2 leading from pipe 1 to the bowl h , through which only a certain amount of water can get to h , in connection with the pipe 4, through which the water can flow out of h after the rain has stopped to counterbalance i respectively the pipe d immediately, without having to wait for evaporation, to automatically return to its initial position, and 2. the BEZW with the separator. combined in connection with the reservoir Apparatus, Fig. 2, from which the water drains through pipes 5 and 10, each tapped through pipe 16 by means of tap 17 for use as required or exit by screwing back the nut 20 at 19 and can be used for flushing can.
