CEMENT DRAINAGE-SPOUT FOR BUILDINGS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 24C, 1911.

Application filed October 30, 1907. Serial No. 399,887.

To all whom 'it may concern.'

Be it known that I, Boi-IUMIL R. MUDRA, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cement Drainage- Spouts for Buildings, of which the following is a specication.

The object of this invention is to improve the construction of drainage spouts with a view to enhancing the appearance thereof and providing a cement spout which is stronger and more satisfactory than those heretofore used.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view illustrating the application of my improved down-spout to a building. Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view through the spout taken on the plane of dotted line 2 2 of Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a vertical section through the down-spout on dotted line 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4L is a vertical section through a gutter and a down-spout operatively connected together.

In Fig. 1 I have shown a down-spout embodying my invention in use upon a brick building, the upper end of the spout being connected with one end of a gutter A of any preferred construction. The downspout comprises a plurality of superimposed sections 9, each section in this instance, having a flat rear face 10 adapted to lie in contact with the face of the wall. Suitable means is provided upon each down-spout section for securing it to the wall, said means comprising two blocks 11 formed integral with each section, and of suitable dimensions to be itted into openings 12 in the wall, or to be originally built into the wall, as desired. The-sections of the downspout may be secured together and Water- Copies of this patent may be obtained for ve cents each, by addressing the tight joints provided between them by forming an annular tapering flange 13 upon one end of each section adapted to enter a flaring or tapering opening 14 in the opposite end of the adjacent section. The joint between the down-spout sections 9 may be made water-tight by means of cement inortar placed between said sections. The downspout sections are reinforced by two rods 15 embedded in each section, said rods being substantially of the same length as the section and projecting from one end of the section to form dowel pins. In the opposite end of the section are openings 1G to receive said pins. The gutter and down-spout may be connected in any preferred way, as by a stub pipe 17 molded integral with the gutter A, the down-spout being attached to said stub pipe.

The term cement is used herein to include any equivalent material.

I claim as my invention:

A sectional cement down-spout for gutter pipes comprising a plurality of superimposed sections, two blocks formed integral with each section adjacent its ends, said blocks being adapted to be built into the wall of a building and form a part thereof, one end of one section havingalaring socket therein, the adjacent end of the next section having a tapering flange fitting in said socket, and reinforcing rods extending through each section, said rods projecting from one end of the section to form dowel pins, the adjacent end of the next section havingv openings therein into which said dowel pins extend.

BOHUMIL R. MUDRA.
