page_text: LETTERS PATENT to John Tayler Foot of 30 Paddenswick Road Hammer-
smith in the county of Middlesex for an Invention of IMPROVEMENTS IN
HOSE REELS, USED IN CONVEYING FROM PLACE TO PLACE LAYING DOWN
AND TAKING UP FLEXIBLE TUBING OR HOSE AND DISTRIBUTING WATER AND
OTHER LIQUIDS IN GARDENS AND ELSEWHERE
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said John Tayler Foot at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 9th February 1883.
JOHN TAYLER FOOT of 30 Paddenswick Road Hammersmith in the county of
Middlesex IMPROVEMENTS IN HOSE REELS, USED IN CONVEYING FROM PLACE TO
PLACE, LAYING DOWN AND TAKING UP FLEXIBLE TUBING OR HOSE AND DISTRI-
BUTING WATER AND OTHER LIQUIDS IN GARDENS AND ELSEWHERE
For this purpose, I attach either to the discharge or delivery end of the tubing
or Hose, which is connected to the hollow axis of the Reel; or to the end of the
main coil or length of tubing or hose by which the water or other liquids enters or
are received-A Pump or Engine, worked by hand or otherwise to draw or
force the liquids or water through the tubing or hose. The Water or liquids
may be made to flow in the main coils or length of tubing either to or from the
Reel
The Pump or Engine is attached to the frame of the machine either permanently
or otherwise
That the handle may be turned over to the front of the machine as may be
required for use, I divide and hinge the frame to which it is attached and affix
catches to hold it firmly in either position
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent filed
by the said John Tayler Foot in the Great Seal Patent Office on the 9th
August 1883.
JOHN TAYLER FOOT of 30 Paddenswick Road, Hammersmith, in the County of
Middlesex IMPROVEMENTS IN HOSE REELS USED IN CONVEYING FROM PLACE TO
PLACE, LAYING DOWN AND TAKING UP, FLEXIBLE TUBING OR HOSE AND DISTRI-
BUTING WATER AND OTHER LIQUIDS IN GARDENS AND ELSEWHERE
This Invention has for its object, improvements in hose reels used in conveying
from place to place, laying down and taking up flexible tubing or hose and

page_text: distributing water and other liquids in gardens and elsewhere. For this purpose
First. I attach either to the discharge or delivery end of the tubing or hose which
is connected to the hollow axis of the reel, or to the end of the main coil or
length of tubing or hose, by which the water or other liquids enters or is received;
a pump worked by hand or otherwise to draw or force the water or other liquids
through the tubing or hose. The water or other liquids may be made to flow in
the main coil or length of tubing or hose either to or from the reel. Secondly,
that the handle may be turned over to the front of the machine as may be
required for use, I divide and hinge the frame to which it is attached and affix
catches to hold it in either position-And in order that my Invention may be fully
understood I have shewn it in the drawings hereunto annexed
EXPLANATION OF DRAWINGS
Fig. 1. Is a side elevation of a machine shewing the handle A in its normal
position held so by the bolt B. The dotted lines show the handle turned over
to the front of machine for the purpose that the operator may have the
machine in front of him and not have to walk backwards on rewinding hose. C. is
the hinge
Fig. 2. Is a side elevation shewing the pump D. fixed to the handle frame and
connected with the hose through the hollow axis of the reel. The dotted lines.
shew the pump carried over to the front with the handle and E the hose coiled
on reel. In this drawing F is the suction or receiving end of hose, but the pump
may be attached to it, instead of to the machine and water forced through the
hose As the pump works in a diagonal position and very perfect acting valves
are necessary to exhaust the air out of the hose, the valve as shewn in Figs 3
and 4 is made to overcome this difficulty, the valve plug is made of India rubber,
the base of it solid, the upper part of it hollow, lightly pressing against and
kept in position by a perforated stop G. by the action of the pump piston, the base
of the valve plug is drawn up and upon being released is forced back again by
the air confined in the upper part. Fig 3 is closed. Fig 4 open. the vertical lines
India rubber, the dotted space shews the air chamber
Having thus described the nature and object of my said Invention and the
manner of performing the same, I hereby further declare that what I desire to
secure by the before mentioned, in part recited Letters Patent and claim.-
Firstly The turn over handle as applied to hose reels
Secondly-The combinations of the pump with the hose or tubing, and the
reel
Thirdly The valve plug used in this machine or for any other purpose
In witness whereof I, the said John Tayler Foot have hereunto set my hand
and seal this eighth day of August in the year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and eighty three
