Improvements in or connected with Pipes for Conducting Away
Rain Water, or for analogous purposes.
I, WALTER MACFARLANE of Saracen Foundry Possilpark Glasgow in the
County of Lanark, North Britain, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows :-
The object of my invention is to provide means whereby any length of pipe, in a
stalk of pipes, can be removed and replaced with great facility and without
disturbing the other lengths of pipes in the stalk. I also provide a device whereby
matter which may enter the pipes, and be liable to obstruct the passage there-
through, is intercepted and can be readily removed.
According to my invention I provide a length of pipe (preferably a short length)
with a spigot at one end, to enter the faucet of the length of pipe beneath it, and
with a faucet at the other end, to receive the spigot of the length of pipe above it.
The last named faucet is made considerably longer than the length of the spigot
end of the length of pipe which enters it, so that the short length of pipe which
carries this prolonged faucet can be raised sufficiently to disengage its spigot end
from the faucet of the length of pipe beneath it, and then the last named length
of pipe can be removed without disturbing the other lengths. The aforesaid device
for intercepting matter is contained in the short length of pipe described and
consists of bars preferably arranged radially, and held in place by any suitable
means; for example, by the ends of the arms, or of some of them, resting on the
internal shoulder of the short length of pipe constituted by the top of the spigot
thereof, or the ends of the arms, or of some of them may be supported by bayonet
fastening grooves made in the short length of pipe so that, in any case, the
intercepting device can be readily removed and replaced.

Improvements in or connected with Pipes for Conducting Away
Rain Water, or for analogous purposes.
I, WALTER MACFARLANE of Saracen Foundry, Possilpark, Glasgow, in the
County of Lanark, North Britain Engineer do hereby declare the nature of my
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of my invention is to provide means whereby any length of pipe, in
a stalk of pipes, can be removed and replaced with great facility and without
disturbing the other lengths of pipes in the stalk. 1 also provide a device whereby
matter which may enter the pipes, and be liable to obstruct the passage there-.
through, is intercepted and can be readily removed.
According to my invention I provide a length of pipe (preferably a short length)
with a spigot at one end to enter the faucet or socket of the length of pipe beneath
it and with a faucet at the other end, to receive the spigot of the length of pipe
above it. The last named faucet is made considerably longer than the length of
the spigot end of the length of pipe which enters it, so that the short length of pipe
نده

page_text: which carries this prolonged faucet can be raised sufficiently to disengage its spigot
end from the faucet of the length of pipe beneath it, and then the last named
length of pipe can be removed without disturbing the other lengths. The
aforesaid device for intercepting matter is contained in the short length of pipe
described and consists of bars preferably arranged radially, and held in place by
any suitable means, for example, by the ends of the arms or of some of them,
resting on the internal shoulder of the short length of pipe constituted by the top
of the spigot thereof, or the ends of the arms, or of some of them, may be
supported by bayonet fastening grooves made in the short length of pipe so that,
in any case, the intercepting device can be readily removed and replaced.
The accompanying drawings illustrate pipes constructed and arranged in
accordance with my invention.
Figure 1 represents part of a stalk of piping and a part with a long faucet A iu
position, that is with its spigot end inside of the faucet of the pipe B and the faucet
end outside of the spigot of the pipe C.
Figure 2 shews the part A with the long faucet raised to allow of the displacement
of the pipe B.
Figure 3 shews the pipe B displaced.
Figures 4 to 11 are detail views drawn to a larger scale.
Figure 4 shews the part A with a long faucet engaged with the pipes above and
below it (and with the hereinbefore mentioned interceptor (D)) resting on the
check of the spigot 6 of the pipe B.
Figure 5 is a sectional plan on the line 1-2 Figure 4.
Figure 6 shews the part A with a long faucet (with parts of the pipes above
and below it) with the interceptor D fixed therein by the bayonet joint at E.
Figure 7 is a sectional plan on the line 3-4 Figure 6.
Figure 8 shews an elevation of the part A with the long faucet engaged with the
pipes above and below it.
Figure 9 is a separate perspective view of the part A with the long faucet and
with the bayonet grooves for the reception of the interceptor D and
Figures 10 and 11 shew respectively an elevation and a plan of the interceptor D
separately.
The part A is preferably made of a short length as shewn and its faucet is of
such a length that it can be moved along over the pipe whose spigot enters it
until the spigot of the part A is entirely withdrawn from the faucet of the other
pipe to allow of the displacement of the pipes as shewn clearly by the drawings.
I do not limit myself to the precise way of supporting the interceptor or
securing it in the part. A as it can be supported or secured therein in any
convenient way.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
:-
1. In pipes for conducting away rain water or for analogous purposes a length
of pipe with a faucet of such greater length than the spigot that the said length of
pipe can be disengaged from the other lengths of pipe without disturbing the latter
substantially as hereinbefore described.
2. The combination with a length of pipe constructed in accordance with the
preceding claiming clause of an intercepting device substantially as and for the
purpose hereinbefore described..
