UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

CHESTER FARMER, ROCKFORD, ILLINOIS.

WATER-TANK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 625,494, dated May 23, 1899.

Application filed March 29, 1898.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHESTER FARMER, a citi- 'zen of the United States,residing at Rockford, in the county of Winnebago and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Water-Tanks, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to automatically regulate the supply of water to a tank.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is an isometrical representation of a tank, containing my improvements. Fig. 2 is a lengthwise vertical section showing the valve in its closed position. Fig. 3 is a similarsection in which the valve is in its open position. Fig. at is an isometrical representation of the valve as seen from its open end. The tank 1 in this instance is of rectangular form, but may be of any desired form. To one end is secured my improved valve,- consisting of a shell 2 and held in place by bolts located in the ears 3. One end 1 of this shell is closed and has an opening 5, surrounded by an inwardly extending flange 6. The inner face of this shell is provided with two lengthwise guideways 7. A pipe 8 forms a connection between the valve and water. A float 9 has a pivotal connection with the closed end of the shell by the lever 10, pivoted between ears 11, extending from the shell, and a screw-threaded eye 12, connected to the arm and having a screw-threaded engagement with the float.

Within the shell is located a guide consisting of the center portion 13 and the arms 14.

Serial No. 675,649. (No model.)

to move in the guideways 7, thereby opening and closing the inlet-opening in the tank.

By means of the float having a screw-threaded connection with its support it can be raised and lowered to regulate the height of water in the tank.

I claim as my invention- The combination of a water-tank, a valve therefor consisting of a casing secured to the inside of the tank having one closed end, an

opening through the closed end, a closure for the opening having two radial arms and a central disk of yielding material, the arms guided in ways in connection with the casing, ears extending from the closed end, a lever having a pivotal connection with the cars, a float connected to the free end of the lever, and a link connecting the lever with the closure.

I CHESTER FARMER.
