Freeze Proof Sanitary Yard Hydrant

A yard hydrant, including a discharge nozzle above ground level, connects to other vertically reciprocal working parts in the ground below the frost line. A water storage chamber, disposed below the frost line, is formed in part by a deformable diaphragm.

본 고안은 수도미터기 보호통에 관한 것으로, 그중에서도, 수도미터기 보호통의 길이를 통상적인 것 보다 더 길게 형성하여, 수도미터기의 설치위치가 지상보다 지하에 가깝게 낮게 설치될 수 있도록 하여, 수도미터기 상부측 보온재를 통상의 것보다 더 두껍게 형성하여, 수도미터기 상측에 재치할 수 있도록 하고, 수도미터기 보호통의 바닥면측에 다수개의 흡수공을 형성하여, 추운 동계절에는 지상 온도보다 따뜻한 지열이 수도미터기 보호통내로 유입되도록 하고, 장마철에는 배수가 잘되도록 한, 지열을 이용한 수도미터기 보호통에 관한 것이다, The present invention relates to a water meter protector, among which, the length of the water meter protector is longer than usual, so that the installation position of the water meter can be installed near the basement than the ground, the upper insulation of the water meter Is made thicker than usual, so that it can be placed on the upper side of the water meter, and a plurality of absorption holes are formed on the bottom surface side of the water meter protector, and during the cold winter season, geothermal heat that is warmer than the ground temperature flows into the water meter protector. Geothermal water meter protection pail, so that the rainy season is well drained, 종래에는 통상적으로 수도미터기의 보호통의 길이가 낮아(45cm 정도임), 수도미터기를 수도미터기 보호통 내부에, 설치하면 지하보다 지상측에 가까운 위치에 설치되어, 상부측에 두꺼운 보온재를 설치할 수 없었고, 통상의 보온재를 설치하면 추운 동계절에 보온유지가 어렵고, 일정온도 이상으로 보온작용할 수 있는 곳이 없으므로 수도미터기등이 자주 동파되었다. Conventionally, the length of the protection tube of the water meter is low (about 45 cm), and when the water meter is installed inside the water meter protection tube, it is installed at a position closer to the ground side than the basement, and a thick insulating material cannot be installed on the upper side. When the usual thermal insulation material is installed, it is difficult to maintain the warmth in the cold winter season, and since there is no place to keep the temperature above a certain temperature, water meters and the like have often been frozen. 본 고안은 상기한 바와 같은 문제점을 해소코자, The present invention to solve the above problems, 수도미터기 보호통(1)의 저면측(7)과 하부측 보온재(6')에 다수개의 흡수공(5)(5')(5'')을 동일하게 형성하고, 수도미터기 보호통(1)의 저면측(7)과 측면측(8)의 라운드 경사면(4)이 급해지는 곳에는 데퍼형 보강돌부(9)(9')(9'')를 다수개 ...

FIRE TERMINAL AND METHOD OF SECURING A FIRE FIGHTER.

Anti-freeze protection for water hydrants

The hydrant (1) has a thermally insulating cover (4) which protects it. The insulation is provide by fibreglass, expanded polystyrene or similar materials. There is a cartridge (6) which opens thermally at a temperature slightly above 0 degrees Celsius (for example 3 degrees Celsius) and which acts like a thermostatic tap. It is situated at the free end of a pipe (5). The opposite end of this pipe is attached to the hydrant just below its nozzle which is always under pressure. There is a device (9), consisting of a plate (9a) with fins (9b) which measures the external temperature outside the cover (4). A heat conducting element (8) links the device (9) to the cartridge, passing through the insulating cover (4). When the temperature falls to the predetermined level the cartridge opens, allowing a small amount of water to drain away, this increases the temperature in the hydrant, preventing it from freezing. There is a pipe which allows liquid from the cartridge to drain away. The cover (4) has a lid (40) which permits access to the nozzle (1b) of the hydrant (1).
