INLET AND CATCH-BASIN.
SPECIFICATION taming part of Letters Patent No. 699,269, dated May a, 1902. Application tiled March 29, 1901. Serial No. 53,429. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HOLLAND WHEELER, a citizen'of the United States, residing at Lawrence, in the countyof Douglas and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Inlets and Catch-Basins; and I do declare that the following is a clear, full, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
Myinvention relates to improvements in inlets to catch-basins or gullies of sewers or drains and to the form of inlet in which water is taken into the catch-basin through'a horizontal grate in the gutter, together with an opening in and through the curb. It is also applicable to the inlets of drains in floors of factories or similar places in which refuse or dirtin connection with water is discharged. The object of my invention is to construct the inlet in such form that it will not retain wastes or be clogged by the same; also, to
make the inlet of such form that it may bereadily cleaned, opened up for inspection, or adjusted to the proper height and inclination of the gutter.
I attain these purposes by the forms and arrangements of the parts as indicated and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective exterior and sectional view of myinvention applied to a streetgutter as it appears viewed from the roadway looking toward the curb. In this figure the inlet and basin are shown as if a portion were removed and is designed to show on the righthand side a curb-box O, lined with iron and covered with concrete, and on the left-hand side an iron curb-box 0, each respectively suited to use with cement curb and stone curb. Fig. 2 is a perspective and sectional view showing the details of my invention,with modifications of form which may be used, viewed from beyond the curb looking toward the roadway.
Similar letters and figures refer to like parts throughout the several views.
The inlet, the construction of its parts, and their purposes are described as follows, reference being made to the drawings, in which A is a horizontal grate in the gutter. B is the basin-box. O is the inlet in basin. 0
is the curb-box. O is a stone or concrete curb-box with an iron lining L; The grate A is supported by its frame a a a upon adjusting-blocks b b b, one of which is shown detached at b, Fig. 1. These blocks rest on notches c c c of variable depths in the upper edge of the box B, and the height or inclination of the grate A may be regulated by the thickness of the blocks 1) b or by the depth of the notches c c in which they are placed. The grate A is constructed with bars 1 1 1, which are at right angles to the curb C and are formed with supporting partitions or webs 2 2 2. They are made to diminishin width as they approach the curb-box O. The intermediate spaces between the bars 1 1 1 form channels '3 3 3, having steep sloping bottoms. They increase in width and depth in the di 'rection of O and present no obstruction to the passage of water or refuse through the grate into the basin box. These channels are shown in two different forms in Fig. 2. The essential feature in my invention is that they be of a form not to stop refuse and be entirely is held in place by the front and sides of the boXB and bylugs on B, (one of which is shown at 4,) so as not to be disturbed by traific on the street; yet it may be easily taken out to open B.
The space beneath A'may be used as part of the basin-box or built up with concrete to be made a part of the foundation of B. The
open throughout their length. The grate A I curb-box C(shown in Fig. 1) has a recess D V in its end, which receives the end of the curb (shown at C in Fig. 2) and secures it in proper position.
The curb-box 0', (shown in Fig. 1,) which forms a part of the inlet of my invention as adapted more particularly to artificial or concrete curbs, is formed with an interior lining L of suitable form, whichsupports the exterior curb O of concrete or artificial stone.
I am aware that prior to my invention catch-basin inlets have been made with openings in the gutter which, in connection with an opening in the curb, discharged into the catch-basin; but such inlets usually have cross-bars which form holes in the gutter, which are easily obstructed with refuse. They have also often fiat surfaces which retain deposits within the inlet.
Having described the construction and operation of my device, what I do claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The combination with a curb having an opening in its front and an opening in its bottom, of an open ended grate having its bars projecting into the front opening, partitions supporting said bars and arranged to form between them channels having sloping bottoms, substantially as and for the purpose described.
2. In a catch-basin inlet, an open-ended
