r Y of other points, the cneral object of th ivention being to provide the box with a j of spouts, with'valve means in the or controlling the feed of material through the various spouts.
Another object 01" the invention is to so lot and arrange the parts that there is no danger of the material clogging therein and leakage of dust is prevented and the valves can be controlled from the floor of the building in which the device is used.
This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claims. In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which r Figure 1 is a vertical sectional-view through the device. I
Figure 2 is a section on line 22 of l igure 1.
Figure 3 is an elevation. Figure 4 is an elevation taken at rightangles to Figure 3.
In these views, the numeral 1 indicates a casing or box which is constructed in a dust- 'i'roof manner and reinforced with strips, as shown at 2. The upper end or" the box is con nected to a supply pipe 3 through which the material to be distributed flows into the box. The lower part or" the box is divided into four chambers by the partitions 4 and 5, these partitions being arranged at rightangles to each other and the partition 4- is of greater height than the partition 5. A gate or valve 6 is fastened to a shaft 7 which passes through the boX immediately above the partition 4 and in one position of this valve, the material enterin the upper part of the box is directed into the two chambers on one side of the partition 4: and in another position of the valve, the material is directed into the two iamhers on the opposite side of tid parti- A pair of valves 8 is carried by a sh 1ft 9 whicn passes through the box immelately above the partition 5, this shaft also passing through the partition 4 and the valves 0 are arranged one on each side of the partition 4. In one position of "these valves 8, two of the chambers are closed, while the other two areopen, and in the opposite position of the valve, the two chambers are open and the other two are closed. Thus by manipulating the valves 6 and 8, the: material passing into the device can be directed into any one of the tour chambers. spout- 10 is connected with the lower end of each hamber by a substantially funnel shaped part 10 and a pair of similarly constructed spouts 11 is connected with one side of the device adjacent its lower end and another pair of spouts 12 is connected with the opposite side or" the device, each spout being double ate or valve 13 controls each pair of spo is, and in one position of these double gates, the spouts 11 and 12 will be closed and in another position, the tour spout-s 10 will be closer and the material will be directed through the spouts 11 and 12.
A double arm 14; is connected with the shaft 7 and a spring 15 connects one end of this arm to a stationary part of the casing and t 1;.) to hold the gate or valve 6 in one Oil line with the other end of the arm and extends downwardly and is connected to a lever 17 fastened to one of thesupports 18 of the device and working over a quadrant 19, this lever being so arranged that it can be reached by a person-standing on the floor of the builcling in which the device is arranged. By lowering this lever, the valve 6 can be swung to its other position. A similar arm 20 is connected with the shaft 9 and a spring 21 connects one end of this arm with astationary part of the device and'a cable 22 connects the other arm with a lever23 which is similar to a lever 1'7.
An arm 24 is connected With-each of the shafts 25 oi: the valves 13, and the lower ends of these arms are connected together by a in communication with a chamber. A
two positions. A cable 16 is connected A depending spring 26 which tends to hold the parts with the valves 18 closing the spouts l1 and 12. A cable 27 is connected with the upper ends of the arms 2-1. and with a lever 28 so that by moving this lever 28 downwardly, the valves l3 will be moved to a position to close the spent" 10 and to open the spouts 11 and 12.
Thus it vill be seen that by manipulating the valves 6 and 8, the material entering the distributor box can caused to iiow from the box through any one of the spouts 10 and that by moving the valves 13 to close the spouts 10, the material will be caused to pass through any one oi the spouts ll or 12. according to the position of the valves ('3 and 8.
it is thought i'rom the toregoing description that the advantages and novel features of the invention will be readily apparent.
It is to be understood that changes may be made in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, i-rovidcd that such changes tall within the scope of the appended claims.
