Improvements in Appliances for Supplying Grind Stones with
Water.
We, CHARLES WALTON CRABSWELLER of 1, Whiting Street, Bury
St. Edmunds, Dental Surgeon, and WILLIAM JOSEPH CLANCY of 42, Westgate
Street, Bury St Edmunds Dentists Assistant, 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 relates to an improved apparatus to be used with grind stones,
and has for its object to provide a simple arrangement which will furnish n
continuous steam of water to the stone, thus obviating the trouble commonly
experienced in keeping the grind stone moist
In carrying out our invention, a tank to contain the water is furnished, placed
underneath the grind stone, and extending at the back for a suitable distance. A
small pump is connected with the tank and adapted to draw the water from it.
The water is then carried to the grind stone through a suitable tube, and directed
on to it at the top The pump 18 worked by means of a shaft provided at one end
with a wheel resolved by ineans of a cord, or connection from a driving wheel fitted
at the end of the grinding stone shaft or lathe The pump is continuously worked
while the grind stone is in use and the water on passing from the grind stone goos
back into the tank, thus passing continuously from the tank to the pump, thence to
the gund stone, and back to the tank.
In order that the invention may be more clearly understood, reference 18
had to the accompanying drawing, which represents the invention in perspective
View.
A is the gind stone fitted on the shaft a carried by the usual lathe arrangement.
Underneath this grind stone the tank B is fixed adapted at the front to receive
the water as it passes from the grind stone This tank 18 filled with water to the
required height, and the pump C fitted a short distance above is connected to the
tank by the tube c. This pump is operated by means of the shaft D furnished with
the wheel d. This wheel is ditven from the wheel E by means of the cord e, the
wheel E being fitted on the shaft a. From the pump the pipe c' is led to the stone A,
the current of water being directed on to the stono at the upper side, thus thoroughly
moistening it
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
(1.) An improved apparatus for use in moistening grind stones, consisting of a
pump supplying the water automatically in a continuous stream to the grind-
stone when the latter is in use, substantially as described and for the purposes
specified.
(2) An improved apparatus for use with grind stones consisting of a tauk
receiving the water from the grind stone, and a pump connected with the said tank
and driven from the grind stone shaft supplying water continuously to the stone,
substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

in the manner described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and for the
purposes specified.
