page_text: 1, AUGUST RIENER, of 86 Hauptstrasse, Hernals Vienna XVII in the Empire
of Austria, Machine Maker do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to a watering cart the characteristic feature of which is a
sprinkling rose provided with lateral perforations, secured to a vertical shaft and
set in rotation by the wheels of the cart, owing to which motion the water
conducted from the tank to the rose by a discharge pipe enclosing the vertical
shaft, is sprinkled radially in all directions.
By this arrangement, the water is uniformly distributed over the whole width of
the surface to be watered, and, in particular, is thrown abundantly into the side-
gutters and street-borders, where most of the dirt and refuse collect.
The frame of the cart rests on the wheels and carries by means of cross-beams
the water-tank the filling of which is effected through a suitable hole at the top.
To the rear end of the tank which is situated farthest from the pole or the
attendant's place, is fitted the discharge-pipe, opened or closed in the known
manner by means of a cock and a series of levers. The said pipe is connected to
the seat of the cock by a T-shaped junction-pipe, which, as well as the discharge
pipe surrounds the vertical shaft and is closed at the top by a stuffing box. The
upper end of the shaft, secured in a vertical position by a bearing affixed to the
tank, carries a bevel-wheel, resting by means of its nave or by the sleeve on
the bearing, and engaging with another bevel-wheel keyed on to a cross-shaft.
The lower end of the shaft carries the sprinkling-rose having round its periphery
perforations through which the water fed to the rose by the discharge-pipe
escapes.
The rotation of the cross and vertical shafts, the former of which is held in
position by bearings secured to the water-tank. is effected by means of chains and
chain-wheels driven from the axle of the cart when the same revolves owing to
the motion of the cart. In this manner a rotating motion is imparted to the
prinkling-rose and, on the cock being opened, the water fed into the rose will be
thrown uniformly in all directions through the lateral perforations, owing to the
centrifugal force.
Instead of a bevel-wheel gear, use may be made of a worm-wheel gear.

1, AUGUST RIENER, of 86 Hauptstrasse, Hernals, Vienna XVII in the Empire
of Austria, Machine Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
n what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement:-
This invention relates to a watering cart the characteristic feature of which is a

page_text: sprinkling rose provided with lateral perforations the said rose being secured to a
vertical shaft and set in rotation by the wheels of the cart, so that the water which
is conducted from the tank to the rose through a discharge pipe enclosing the said
vertical shaft, is sprinkled radially in all directions.
By this arrangement, the water is uniformly distributed over the whole width of
the surface to be watered and, in particular, is thrown abundantly into the side-
gutters and street-borders, where most of the dirt and refuse collects.
In the accompanying drawing,
Figure 1 is a side elevation of this cart partly in section on the line x-x of
Figure 2.
Figure 2 is an end-view of the cart;
Figure 3 is a section of the watering mechanism; and
Figures 4 and 5 are end- and side-elevations of a modified form of gear for
effecting the rotation of the rose.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures of the
drawing.
The frame A of the cart rests on the wheels A' and carries by means of cross-
To the rear end
beams B the water-tank W, the filling of which is effected at w.
of the tank which is situated farthest from the pole or the attendant's place V, is
fitted the discharge-pipe D, opened or closed in a well-known manner by means of
a cock hand of levers h¹, h2, h3, h4; said pipe is connected to the seat of the cock
by a T-shaped junction-pipe C, which, as well as the pipe D surrounds the vertical
shaft F and is closed at the top by a stuffing box G.
The upper end of the shaft, secured in a vertical position by the bearing Gl
fixed to the tank W. carries a bevel-wheel k, resting by means of its nave or by the
sleeve on the bearing G¹, and engaging with another bevel-wheel keyed on to
the cross-shaft J. The lower end of the shaft F carries the sprinkling rose E
having all round its periphery perforations through which the water fed to the
rose by the discharge-pipe D escapes.
The rotation of the shafts J and F, the former of which is held in position by
the bearings H secured to the water-tank W, is effected by means of chains K
ard chain-wheels K K' driven from the axle of the cart as soon as the same
revolves owing to the motion of the cart. In this manner a rotating motion is
imparted to the sprinkling-rose and, on the cock being opened, the water fed into
the rose will be thrown uniformly in all directions through the lateral perforations,
owing to the centrifugal force.
Instead of a bevel-wheel gear, use may be made of a worm-wheel gear Las
shown in Figures 4 and 5.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
A watering cart, the characteristic feature of which consists of a sprinkling rose
provided with perforations on its periphery and put in rotary motion by the wheels
of the cart, by means of a vertical shaft, the latter being surrounded by the
discharge-pipe, closed or opened at will, substantially as described and shown in
the drawing.
