CHARLES L. COOK, OF DECATUR, ILLINOIS ASS IGNOR TO LEADER IRON WORKS, OF DECATUR, ILLINOIS, A CORPORATION OIE ILLINOIS.
HOT-WATER TANK.
Application filed March 13, 1922. Serial No. 543,231.
T0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES L. Coon, a citizen of the United States, a resident of Decatur, in the county of Macon and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Hotater Tanks, of which the following is a specification.
This invention has reference to improve ments in tanks, and particularly to hot water tanks for water storage purposes in the home.
The invention has for one of its objects to so contruct and connect the bottom to the tank shell or body as to prevent the collection of rust impelling sediment in the bottom or around the joint, and thus insure a perfect drain for the tank, and to provide distinct and separable water and sediment pipes to insure clear clean water in the tank at all times.
The invention has for a further object to provide a new and novel support for the tank, which includes a plurality of tubular standards adapted to be cut to different lengths to position the bottom of the tank closer to or farther from the floor; means for suitably connecting said standards to the bottom of the tank, and adjustable leveling means for the lower ends of said standards, whereby the tank may be conveniently and properly leveled.
That the invention may be more fully understood, reference is had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of the description, illustrating a preferred embodiment of the invention, in which Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view, partly broken away illustrating a hot water tank embodying my invention, the section appearing as if taken on the line 11 Figure 2, and
Figure 2 is a bottom plan view looking upward, as the same would appear if taken on the line 22 Figure 1.
Like characters of reference denote corresponding parts throughout the figures.
The shell or body 1 of the tank in general configuration is not unlike tanks made for similar purposes, except'that the upper and 0 lower ends of the shell are turned inwardly,
as at 2 and 3 to overlap or embrace the dome shaped ends 4 and 5. Such ends constitute, respectively, the head and bottom for the tank and are preferably domed outwardly and formed or provided with flanges 6 and 7, the edges of which are tapered or beveled, as at 8 and 9. The inturned ends of the shell or body 1 conform to and fit snugly corresponding arcuate portions of the domed ends and said ends and shell or body are welded, as at 10. Connected centrally to the end 5 is a drain pipe 11 to carry off sediment, and 12, 12 designate the water pipes, which, as indicated are separate and independent from the sediment or drain pipe 11. Said pipe 11 and the pipes 12 have a threaded connection with plugs 13 welded at 14 to the shell and end, respectively. The form of connection shown for the pipes 11 and 12 is carried out in connection with other pipes, not described, which may have connection with the shell or body 1 or the end 4.
The supporting means for the tank in cludes a plurality of tubular pipes 15, which may be of any suitable length, and out to length for the purpose of properly positioning the bottom of the tank relatively to the floor, and the upper ends of said pipes 15 have a telescopic relation with depending spindles 16 of suitable length formed integral with or connected to flanged castings 17 which are welded at 18 to the end 5. The lower ends of the pipes 15 are threaded, as at 19, whereby an. adjustable connection may be made with flanged collars 20 which rest on the floor, and secured thereto, if desired. These flanged collars 2O serve as a leveling means for the tank, which is accomplished by turning the collars on the pipes, as will be understood.
By doming outward the end 5, flanging it, as shown, and turning in and welding the end of the shell or body 1 thereto, and by be'veling or tapering the flange of the end, all sediment accumulating or collecting will very readily drain through the pipe 11, and circulation may always be maintained and clean clear water insured by separatmg the waterpipes 12 from the drain pipe 11. All such features, including the adjustable stand and the welding of the parts provides not only a strong shell with dome-d ends but also provides for domestic use a hot water tank which may be always drained of sedi ment and insuring clean clear Water circulating therethrough.
What I claim is In a hot Water tank, a plurality of flanged castings Welded to the tank and provided Withdepending spindles, a plurality of pipes, each having a telescopic connection With a spindle of said flanged castings, and flanged couplings having an adjustable con- 10 nection With the lower ends of said pipes.
In Witness whereof, I havehereunto afiixcd my hand this 24th day, of February, 1922.
Y CHARLESL. COOK
