July 27, 1937. I R. B. EVERSON INLET FITTING FOR SWIMMING POOLS Filed 001:. 27, 1936 frzzpz'zfz? R0YBEvERso/v m if Mal-Ea??? Patented July 27, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 15 Claims.
My invention relates to an inlet fitting through which water is discharged into a swimming pool, and it has relation to a device of this character that is adjustable in order that the flow of water may be readily controlled. The novel and unique construction of the fitting permits it to be easily installed in a swimming pool that has already been erected and is in use without reconstructing or marring the walls of such pool, as well as being installed in a pool in course of construction.
It has become the practice from a sanitary standpoint, (which is compulsory under Health Department regulations in many localities), to chlorinate the water before it is discharged into swimming pools, but when this is done with the usual equipment where the water is supplied at one end of the pool or through only a few inlets the chlorine is soon dissipated in the large volume of the pool and therefore becomes ineffective a short distance from its point of discharge. If, however, the treated water is fed into the pool at a plurality of spaced points along its sides and ends the distribution of the freshly supplied water is in a more even manner and will extend throughout a greater volume of water. With a plurality of inlets, the flow at each inlet may be nicely regulated by means of adjustable control devices embodied in my inlet fitting, and this may be done by unskilled persons without the use of special tools.
The fitting I have invented is-novel in construction; it is made of a minimum of simple parts; it is economical to produce; it is easy to install; and it is effective in performing the functions for which it is designed. Numerous other advantages and objects of my invention'will be apparent to persons skilled in the art after the construction and operation thereof is understood from the within description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing. It will be understood that the drawing and the within description areillustrative only and are not to be taken as limiting my invention except insofar as it is limited by the claims. The drawing shows a typical or preferred embodiment of my invention.
In the drawing: v
Figure l is a horizontal section of side and end portions of .a' pool -showing several of my inlet fittings installed therein.
Figure 2 is a vertical transverse section on line 2-2 of Figure 1 and enlarged.
Figure 3 is a front face view of the fitting with 55 the grille plate partly broken away.
Figure 4 is a front elevation showing details of the control device removed from the fitting.
Figure 5 is a graphic view, partly in section, il-- lustrating the manner of installing a fitting in a pool that is in use. 5
Referring to the drawing, wherein like reference characters identify like parts in the different views, the pool embodies continuous vertical walls I of suitable material such as poured cement that are usually faced upon the inside 10 withtile H or the like. Outside these walls I provide a water supply pipe l2 that has T- couplings l3 interposed therein at definitely spaced intervals arranged with their lateral stubs towards the walls ID to provide a plurality of disl5 tributors.
The fitting is of a boxlike formation and is. preferably imbedded in the walls as shown during erection of the pool. There is a heavy or thick base member 14 from which continuous 20 rectangular walls I 5 project laterally on one face so that a hollow chamber is provided that is open at its front. The base has its edgesextended, in the form of a continuous flange I6, beyond the lateral walls l5, which said flange I6 25 provides a portion of the means for anchoring the fitting in a wall of the swimming pool as will later appear. The front of this boxlike portion of the -fitting is covered by a perforated plate I! that provides a grille or grating across itsopen front 30 to prevent articles-entering the interior of the fitting. The plate I1 is secured to walls l5 by corner screws and the outer face of this grille,
when the structure is in position, is fiush'with the tile face H on the inside surface of the pool. 35
Suitable bosses l8 are-provided at the inner corners of chamber formed by the base wall It and the lateral walls I 5, which bosses provide abutments or shoulders 'of 'such dimensions that they will supportfa control device'that is an-" 4 chored to them so as tobe positioned about centrally of the depth of saidchamber as seen in- Figure-Z. This'control device may be of a; variety 0 of shapes such as cylindrical, conical, flat, and the like. For the purpose of convenience,and as 45 typifyinga control device, I- have shown: herein a structure that is flat and of substantially rec-1 tangular outline. Theunit consists of a rectangue lanmounting plate 1 9 disposed with itssc'orners' I resting.against: and zremovably secured to""the bosses i3 by-screws,sand the central portion of said plate is provided with a plurality of egress or discharge openings 20 that are arranged in concentric order around the center or axis of the plate as more clearly shown in detail in Figure 4.
In lieu of this separate plate, a transverse wall or diaphragm may be provided-which is formed with and projects from the lateral side walls of the boxlike structure. This may readily be done since the base II and the flange walls l5 are preferably made of a cast-metal and the said wall may be cast integrally therewith. There is a co-acting valve plate 2| rotatably mounted upon a face of plate l9, said rotatable plate being circular in outline and provided with a plurality of egress or discharge openings 22 corresponding in number, and preferably in size, with the openings 20 of the stationary mounting plate and are also arranged in concentric order around the axis of rotation of rotatable plate 2|. The plates I9 and 2| are preferably amembled with each other as a unit by providing a central or axial opening 23 of angular shape in plate 2| to receive an angular portion 24 of a headed pivot bolt. The round shank 25 of the bolt is journaled in a circular aperture 26 in the center of mounting plate l9 and the two plates are movably held in face-to-face arrangement by a lock-nut 21 screwed on the protruding threaded portion of the shank of the bolt against a friction lock washer. These plates are maintained in such intimate relation to each other that when they are in a position where the apertures of one plate are positioned opposite imperforate portions of the opposing plate the volume of fluid past the plates is shut oil. However, the movable plate 2| may be readily rotated by inserting a screwdriver or similar tool through the central opening in the grille to engage the slotted head of the pivot bolt and then rotating plate 2| until the desired amount of registration is secured between the apertures 20 and 22 of the plates, thus controlling the quantity of fluid flowing through the fitting and into the pool. Thus it will be seen that an effective control device is providedwhich consists of a stationary member or body and a co-acting member or body that is movable with respect to the first member for the purpose of permitting passage of water through the fitting.
The base ll of the box-like structure is provided witha relatively large transverse opening 28 that is threaded to receive the adjacent threaded end of the'feed pipe 29 that has its other or remote end threaded so as to screw into the lateral stub of the T-coupling IS. The pipe 29 is long enough to extend through the vertical wall of the pool and the threaded portion that screws into coupling I3 is of such extent that a clamp nut 30 and washer 3| may be disposed thereon for engagement with the exterior surface of the pool wall. In constructing a pool the fltting, including the box-like portion and the feed pipe, is imbedded transversely in a wall during erection of the latter. When a pool already erected is to be provided with a plurality of inlet fittings, the workman need only drill a hole 32 transversely through the wall III of a diameter slightly greater than the outside diameter of pipe 29 and the inner portion of this hole is then enlarged as shown at 33 in Figure 5. The fitting is inserted into the hole 32 from inside the pool so that flange l6 of the fitting engages the inner transverse portion 34 or shoulder of the enlarged opening, in which position the threaded outer end of the pipe 28 will protrude beyond the outer surface of the pool wall so that the clamp nut and washer (30and 3|) may be inserted on the pipe and turned thereon until the wall is clamped tightly between the abutments formed by flange part of the fitting, thus sealing the structure against leakage or seepage.
-From the above description, it will be evident that I have provided a very simple and economical inlet fitting, which is equa ly adapted for installation in swimming pools already erected and in use as well as in a new pool in course of construction. It also will be apparent that the inlet fitting, after installation, is capable of ready adjustment to control the flow of water into the swimming pool, andthat it is constructed of simple parts which may be readily assembled at the factory where the device is manufactured.
