I DQWN SPOUT.
This invention relatesto down spouts and has for one of its obje or conduit in which liquid provide a spout will flow freely cts .to
and without escape aslong as the spout is open but which will liquid at any one of spaced longitudinally permit the escape. of a pluralityof points, of the pipe or spout,
when the pipe is clogged below that particular point.
Another object is to having. the characteri and which is made A further object is characteristics above spout having the forth and which may and disassembled.
provide a down spout stics above set forth f similar sections.
to provide a down set be readily assembled Other objects ancla-dvantages will appear as the invention is hereinafter disclosed.
Referring to the drawings which illustrate what I now believe to be preferred forms of the invention,
Fig. 1 is an elevation illustrating one embodiment of my invention employed as a rain spout.
Fig. 2 is a detail elevation, partly in section, of ad acent ends of two of the pipe sections shown in F1g.
Fig. 3 is a detail structure shown in Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 1s a section taken on of Fig. 1.
1. side elevation of the the line 4-4 Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 2 but illustrating a modification.
Nhile my down spout is variety of uses it possesses adaptable to a marked advan tages when employed as a rain spout or In the embodiment shown in and I have therefore so illustrated it.
Figs. 1 to 4 a plurality of pipe 14, and 15, which are in the sense that each seeone, discharges into Preferably, each of save possibly the uppermost section and lowermost section 15, is identical by mimmizing to any other section, therethe number'of stock parts.
and facilitating replacements and assembly.
Each of the sections uniform cross section,
lustration cylindrical,
er portion of .its length.
A plurality of pins 18, two in the present illustration, are riveted-or otherwisesecured to the lower end 16 of each of the sections 10 to 14. These pins 18 project laterally from the end portions 16 to which they are secu'red'and are adapted to seat in corresponding notches 19 provided in the upper ends of'the sections 11 to 15. Spacing collars 20 are secured one upon each of the pins 18 between the walls of adjoining pipe sections, leaving the clearance openings 17 substantially unimpeded save for the slight obstruction offered by the relatively small collars or washers 20.
The various sections may be detachably secured to a building 21 by means of clamps 22 one of which is shown in detail in Fig. 4. Each of said clamps comprises a substantially semicircular portion, adapted to be screwed or otherwise secured to the build ing and provided with terminal hooks 22. After a section has been placed into its corresponding member 21 it may be securely but detachably held there by a wire 23 twisted at its opposite ends around said hooks 22.
The upper section 10 is shown connected to a roof gutter 24 to receive the discharge thereof and the lower section 15 is adapted to empty into any suitable drain. So long as the sections 10 to 15 are open the water or other liquid will flow from the gutter 24 down through the successive sections 10 to 1.5 and there will be no escape of liquid from the spout at any point in its length, including the joints between adjacent sections. If, however, any section should become clogged, either by or due to collection of the liquid will collect in that section unti it reaches the clearance opening 17 immediately above, whence it will escape and flow refuse or otherwise,
into the corresponding the liquid freezing to the outside of the spout. This is a marked advantage over prior spouts. Suppose that the lower spout 15 becomes clogged as by freezing. Instead of the liquid piling up in the spout and overflowing at the gutter 24 as would be the case in the ordinary spout, the downflowing liquid would escape at the clearance opening 17 between sections 14 and 15. Incidentally the loss of pipe due to bursting by freezing is minimized. Other advantages will now be obvious to those skilled in the art, in view of the foregoing disclosure, and such advantages need not be here enumerated The sections 10, 1]., 12, etc., may be made of tinned or galvanized iron or other suit able material. The selection of the mate rial best suited for the particular installation is a matter which is Well within the skill of the average mechanic. Furthermore numerous modifications which do not depart from the scope of the invention as claimed hereinafter, will be suggested by the present disclosure. F or example, instead of making the sections of the shape shown in Figs. 1 to 3 they may each be made in the shape of hollow truncated cones, i. e., tapering in shape, as shown at 10, 11 in Fig. 5.
In accordance with the provisions of the patent statutes, I have herein described the principle of operation of my invention, to gether with the apparatus, which I now consider to represent the best embodiment thereof, but I desire to have it understood that the apparatus shown is only illustrative and that the invention can be carried out by other means. Also, while itis designed to use the various features and elements in the combination and relation described, some of these may be altered, others omitted and some of the features of each 'modification embodied in the others without interfering with the more general results outlined and the invention extencs to such use.
What I claim is 1. A down spout comprising in combination, a plurality of serially connected identically shaped interchangeable pipe sections each of which extends into and discharges into the section below it, each of aid sections being smaller at its lower end than its upper end to provide a clearance opening at each junction of said sections, each of said sections being provided at its lower end with a plurality of laterally extending pins and at its upper end with a plurality of slots in its side wall to receive the pins of the section immediately above.
2. The down spout set forth in claim 1 in which spacing devices are provided upon the pins.
In testimony whereof I hereto aflix my signature.
JEAN MARTIAL LOBIT.
