will also tend to expel the air from the upper
portion of the pipe through the valve 6 and
chamber 7, which latter may, if desired, be
provided with a plug at its upper end. The
5 valve 6 will drop to its seat automatically,
thus sealing the valve-opening when the si-
phon is charged. The valve 14 is now closed,
thus sealing the pipe 8. The valve 22 may
now be raised, so as to open the inlet end of
10 the siphon, and water may now be drawn
through the latter by opening one or more of
the valves 16.
The construction of the siphon shown in
Figs. 4 and 5 of the drawings is identical
15 with that above described, except in this that
it is upon a much smaller scale, the main body
of the siphon consisting simply of a single
inverted-V-shaped pipe. The branch 3 of
the latter is provided with a holder, by means
20 of which the siphon may be readily held in
position for operation. Said holder consists
of a metallic yoke or frame having parallel
side pieces 28, connected by a cross-bar 29.
30 designates a block having grooved sides,
25 by means of which it is mounted slidingly be-
tween the side piecesof theyoke. The inner
ends of the latter are to be mounted upon a
stationary support. The block 30 has a screw-
threaded rod or bolt 31 extending through a
30 perforation in the cross-bar of the yoke, and
provided with a jam - nut 32, whereby the
said block may be adjusted to and held se-
curely in any desired position. The said
block 30 has a vertical opening 33 for the
35 passage of the branch 3 of the siphon, which
latter may thus be held securely in position
for operation.
If a continuous flow is not desired a pump
may be connected with the exit branch of the
40 piston. This will also be found useful if for
any reason it shall be desired to raise the
water after passing through the siphon.
Having thus described my invention, what
- T claim is-
45 1. The combination, with a siphon, of a
charging-pipe, a valve adapted to close the
inlet end of said siphon, and an air-escape
pipe connected with the inlet-valve, substan-
tially as set forth.
50o 2. The combination, with a siphon, of a
charging-pipe having a valved inlet, the valve
exit-pipes, a valve adapted to close the inlet
of said siphon, and an air-escape pipe con-nected with said inlet-valve, substantially as
set forth. 55
3. The combination, with a siphon, of a
valved charging-pipe, a return-bend at the
inlet of said siphon, a conical or bell shaped
valve adapted to close the inlet of the return-
bend and having an upwardly-extending air- 60o
-escapepipe, and a buoyant ball-valve mount-
ed in the said conical or bell shaped valve
and adapted to close or seal the air-escape
pipe, substantially as and for the purpose set
forth. 65
4. The combination, with a siphon, of a
valve-charging pipe, a return-bend at the in-
let end of said siphon, a cage mounted upon
the said return-bend and having an annular
valve-seat, a conical or bell shaped valve ar- 70
ranged in the said cage and adapted to close
upon the annular seat of the latter, an air-
pipe extending upwardly from the conical or
bell shaped valve, and a floating ball-valve
mounted in the latter and adapted to seal 75
the lower end of the air-pipe, substantially as
and for the purpose set forth.
5. The combination of the cage having an
annular valve-seat, the conicalorbell shaped
valve arranged in the cage and adapted to 80
close upon the seat of the latter, and an ex-
teriorly-threaded air-pipe extending from the
conical or bell shaped valve upwardly through
a threaded perforation in the yoke or cross-
bar at the top of the cage, substantially as 85
and for the purpose set forth.
6. The combination, with a siphon con-
structed substantially as described, of a holder
comprising a yoke having parallel arms, a
block mounted slidingly between the arms or 90o
sides of said yoke, and having a vertical open-
ing, in which is mounted one of the branches
of said siphon, a screw-threaded rod extend-
ing from said sliding block through a perfo-
ration in the outer endof the yoke, and a jam- 95
nut mounted upon the said screw-threaded
rod, substantially as and for the purpose set
forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as
my own I have hereto affixed my signature too
in presence of two witnesses.
