PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A Combined Hydrant and Sluice Valve.
1, ANTON WINGEN, of Glogau, in the Kingdom of Prussia and German Empire,
Architect, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention has reference to the combination of a hydrant with a sluice valve the
two being arranged in such wise that the branch which connects the valve with
the hydrant, starts from the lowest point of the hydrant casing, and is cut off from the
water main when the slide is lowered.
The combined hydrant and sluice valve is capable of being applied to water mains
and other conduits, for the purpose of drawing off liquid and cleansing the main or
conduit.
Referring to the annexed drawings,
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section of apparatus according to this invention, the section
being in line a-b of the main.
Fig. 2 is a cross section at right angles to Fig. 1, line c—d (Fig. 3).
Fig. 3 is a plan of the apparatus.
On the casing K of the water main sluice valve K¹ is cast a connecting branch V
upon which is placed the hydrant H. The hydrant is by this arrangement placed in
communication with the water main L exactly as if it were cast direct on the same.
When the sluice valve K' is closed, the hydrant H is shut off from the water main.
The passage through the main is also closed.
When the hydrant H is to be repaired or changed, it is merely necessary to lower
the sluice valve K', as shewn in Fig. 1, whereupon the supply to the hydrant will be
completely cut off, so that the repairs or alterations can be readily effected.
The sluice valve K₁ is manipulated in the usual manner by means of the spindle m
on which is a screw thread l.
The hydrant comprises, as illustrated in Fig. 2, a valve o, a rod p, and a screw
spindle q. r is a discharge valve for emptying the casings of the hydrant.
The water main sluice valve K¹ is shewn as provided with wedge-shaped surfaces.
The hydrant H and the sluice valve casing K stand on a common base, and are bolted
together at t as well as at the branch V.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Combined Hydrant and Sluice Valve.
I, ANTON WINGEN, of Glogau, in the Kingdom of Prussia, and German Empire,
Architect, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same
is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
This invention has reference to the combination of a hydrant with a sluice valve the
two being arranged in such wise that the branch which connects the valve with the
hydrant, starts from the lowest point of the hydrant casing, and is cut off from
the water main when the slide is lowered.
The combined hydrant and sluice valve is capable of being applied to water mains
and other conduits, for the purpose of drawing off liquid and cleansing the main or
conduit

page_text: Referring to the drawings filed with my provisional specification,
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section of apparatus according to this invention the section
being in line ab of the main.
Fig. 2 is a cross section at right angles to Fig. 1, on the line c-d (Fig. 3).
Fig. 3 is a plan of the apparatus.
On the casing K of the water main sluice valve K¹ is cast a connecting branch V
upon which is placed the hydrant H. The hydrant is by this arrangement placed in
communication with the water main L exactly as if it were cast direct on the
same.
When the sluice valve K¹ is closed, the hydrant H is shut off from the water main.
The passage through the main is also closed.
When the hydrant H is to be repaired or changed, it is merely necessary to lower
the sluice valve K', as shewn in Fig. 1, whereupon the supply to the hydrant will be
completely cut off, so that the repairs or alterations can be readily effected.
The sluice valve K' is manipulated in the usual manner by means of the spindle m
on which is a screw thread b.
The hydrant comprises, as illustrated in Fig. 2, a valve o, a rod p, and a screw
spindle 9.
is a discharge valve for emptying the casings of the hydrant.
The water main sluice valve K' is shewn as provided with wedge-shaped surfaces.
The hydrant H and the sluice valve casing K stand on a common base, and are bolted
together at t as well as at the branch V.
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 :-
The combination of a hydrant such as H with a sluice valve such as K¹ by
means of a connecting branch, such as V starting from the lowest point of the
hydrant casing the arrangement being such that when the sluice valve K¹ is
lowered, the hydrant will be entirely shut off from the main, substantially as described
and illustrated.
