Application filed .Tune 10, 1912. Serial No. 702,720.
Be it known that I, PERRY L. HEDRICK, a citizen of the United States, residing at El Centro, in the county of `Imperialland State of California, have invented a. new and useful Flume-Gate,of which the following is av specification.
This invention relates to those types of gates usually employed in irrigating ,ditches or iumes, and an objectthereof is to provide a'strueture that is economical in manufacture, andwhich maybe readily put in place in a liumeor ditch without'the employmenty vof complicated'structures or connections.
A .further objectis to provide a composite flume gate construction which is formed of cementitious t material and provided with metallic bearinggsprings to hold the sliding gate in\place on its seat.
I accomplish lthese objects by means of the device described herein and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- .Figure 1 is a perspective v iew of my flume gate placed inA position in an ordinary lined earthwork irrigating ditch. Fig; 2 is' a front elevation of the gate holder. Fig. 3 is a plan View of the flume gat-e construction with a portion broken away .to disclose the method of mounting the gate holding springs. Fig.
-l is a perspective view from the rear of my complete gate construction. Fig. is a per-vA spective view of one of the gate holding springs Fig. 6 is a perspective View of one of the gate stops.
drawingsrny improved device consists of two members, preferably formed ot' a cementitious material, such as concrete, and consists of a. cylindricalpipe section 1 and a gate holder 2. This holder is preferably vrectangular'in forni and is provided with a rec.-
tangular recess- 4: in its' front/face having an open top; the two oppositelv disposed sides of said recess orminga gate guideway` 5. Thelower edge 6 of the recess forms a stop to limit the downward movement of the lgate. {Gatholder- 2 is also provided witha centrally disposed circular aperture 7 which is preferably'shouldered as at 7 'to'r'ecei've themale end of pipe section las clearly in-' dicated in, 3 of Athe drawings. Thesetwo sectionsre preferablycemented tof' getherin anywell known manner', such asby pouring liquid cement between the contacting portions.A
l'la The recess 4 is -of-a suitable depthlto per- Referring now more-particularly to the.
transverse width of the recess so as -to read ily slide therein. A suitable handle 9 is rivetedor otherwise secured to the gate for operating the saine. l I
y Mounted in the oppositely disposed sides .of the gate holderare springs 10 preferably formed from heavy resilient wire and of a general U shaped configuration, as clearly7 shownin Fig. 5 of the drawings. The ends of the wires are inserted in apertures formed in any suitable manner while the holder is 1n a green condition and are clenched on the rear face of the holder as clearlyy illustiated in Fig. 3 of the drawings. Springs 10 adapt ed to contact with the outer faceI of the metal gate as clearly shown in Figs. 2 and Spot-the drawings, l1oldin`g' .the gate firmly against the seat trof tlieholder. I have found this .method of securing the'springs inthe holder a very simpleand convenient one, necessitating little Orino labor in attaching them.
" In Fig; 4 instead of clenching the ends/11 'f of the springs A10 as in the preferred (form,
'the ends may be threaded `as .at 1Q foi` the refA should they become broken or otherwise dis,-
arranged.
To urther'seeure the gate 8 in position on its seatsliould the springs become broken' orfor any :other reason should fail in 'their action, I provide" a metallic member ill lwhich preferably consists of a shaft lor spike .15, the inner en ds of which are embedded in the holder adJacent thes'prings l0, annular shoulders'lG being provided on the s iaft 15v to prevent any movementI of the same after being embedded in the holder. Each member 14 is provided with an int/urned .stop arm 17 formed integrally 'therewith and which progects into the recess'4l, andV into such relation to the gate and springs as to not interferewith the action 'f the same. member 14 project beyond the planeV of vthe springs l0` and serve toprotect the springs :or holder from injury by animals contactjingwith-the same, it being a common prac- 'tiee for animals such as hogs to rub their Vbodies against sharp objects 'for the plurpose f orf"scratching tligu'i-v elves.
, Froin'the'foregaang descriptionfittvill be4 The outer ends of the .shaft-l5 of noted that as thelgate bearing surface is large that the gate Will withstand considerable pressure and thatthe-gate need not be p opened toits fullest extent, the frictioi'ial 5 contact of the springs holding the same in any'desired positioi. By constructing the gate holder of a cem ,entit'ious materiall and providing metallic springs'which are embedded therein I am y enabled to economically7 manufacture an etli- -cient gate construction Without the use of machine tools or forming machine suelias lone required in metallic constructions. i lVhat- I claim is: l. A fiume gate construction, comprising a centrally apertured body portion formed of a ceincntitious material and provided ivitli a rectangularly formed recessed seat "on its outertace, a metallic gate slidably 2.0 mounted in said seat, and resilient means secured to the face of said body portion and contacting 'with said lgate to hold the same' `in contact with the seat.
'2. A flumey gate, comprising a body formed of-'cementitious material having an aperture formed therein, said bodybeing also'provided With a `recessed seat onits outer face, the straight sides of said recess' j forming a guide Way, a metallic gate-slidably mounted in said seat, and springs secured to said body yportion and extending into said recessed scatto-bear against the said gate.
` 3. A flume gate, comprising accementitious 3.5 pipe, a gate holder formed of cementitious material on one end4 of said pipe, said gate holder being provided with a centrallydisvposed aperture, said aperture registering .with the bore of the pipe, the outer face Qsaid holder being recessed to form a gate s'eat,a metallic gate slidably moui ted iii saidf'seat and adapted to close .the alaertiire :in the gate holder, and resilient means extending -from the face into said recess to press said gate against said seat.
4. In aflume gate construction, a centrally apertui'ed gate holder formedof cem-- entitious material and being provided with a recess in the outer face thereof, said recess AU shape 'mounted inthe face forming agate seat, a sliding gate mounted in said seat, and springs of approximately of said holder and bearing against said gate.l
As a lnew article of manufacture, a
' flume gate construction, comprising acylin- 55 drical pipe section lformed of c'ementitious material, a gate holder, said gate holder comprising a rectangular structureprovided With a circular aperture coinciding with the lopenings in the pipe structure and provided on its outer face With a recess, said recess being open in its upper end, and a pair of oppositely disposed metallic wire springsl formed of resilient material .attachedV tothe -face of the holder adjacent; the recess, said springs adaptedto bear against a slide gate, and agate mounted in said recess and movable therein.
6. A flume gateiconstruction, comprising a centrallyapertured body portionformed of a cementitious material and provided Witha rectangular seaton its outer face,.a metallic gatey slidEibly, mounted in said seat, springs secured in said body portion and contacting With-said gate to hold the same in contact Withsaid seat, and stops mounted in said body portion andeXtending into said recess. seats, said 4stops being out ofcontact With the `sliding gate.
7. In a fiume gate construction, a centrally 80 I apertured body portion formed. of a cementitious material .and having `a recessed gate seat formed -on its outer face, resilient means secured to said vbody portion and eX- tending beyond the. face thereof, and a gate mounted in saidfseat and interposed betiveen the face of said recessed portion and the `resilient.- means, said resilient means vtending to force .the gateV in Contact with the tace of the recessedgate seat.
In Witness that I claim the` foregoing Iv have hereunto subscribed my name this first day ot June 19,12.
