Fire season has begun in southeastern Arizona
14 Apr 2014 3:54 PM
Sheri Williamson
The 2014 fire season has begun in southeastern Arizona. Fire crews are battling the Brown Canyon fire, a small (<100 acres) human-caused blaze on the western slope of the Huachuca Mountains.
This fire is far from populated areas and popular birding destinations and unlikely to cause serious problems for residents or visitors, but high fire danger and/or future fires may result in closures of public lands. We will do our best to keep the birding community informed about closures and other safety advisories from public lands agencies.
Updates on wildfires throughout Arizona are available on

Sheri Williamson
Tucson Audubon Society, American Bird Conservancy, and Victor Emanuel Nature Tours have announced the purchase of the world-famous "Patons' Birder Haven" in Patagonia. This joint fundraising effort saves the popular birding destination from the same fate as the Spofford yard in Portal, which closed to the public after the death of its owner and host, retired ornithologist Sally Spofford. The site will be managed by the Tucson Audubon Society. Read more about it at the

Letter to the Arizona Daily Star
25 Jul 2013 9:34 PM
Sheri Williamson
To the editor:
recent article about a new "nectar" product for hummingbird feeders
contained incorrect and misleading information that has needlessly alarmed many hummingbird enthusiasts in southern Arizona.
We want to assure the Star's readers that homemade solutions of white granulated sugar in water have a decades-long track record as a safe and effective way to attract and feed hummingbirds. Wild hummingbirds that have fed on sugar water every summer of their lives have lived up to 12 years, far longer than was once thought possible, so white sugar is hardly "cutting their lives short." It does not "wear out their livers and kidneys," give them diabetes, or rot their teeth.
White granulated sugar is sucrose, a natural plant sugar that is the main ingredient (next to water) in the nectar of hummingbird-pollinated flowers. It is also the main ingredient in the product touted in the article, despite the entrepreneurs' dire warnings about "the harmful effects of white sugar on hummingbirds."
Cleaning feeders regularly, eliminating outdoor pesticide use, keeping cats indoors, and planting nectar-producing flowers are the most important steps you can take to make sure your hummingbird neighbors live long, healthy lives.

AGFD coauthors unprecedented international recovery plan for endangered Thick-billed Parrots
12 Jul 2013 11:43 PM
Sheri Williamson
News from the Arizona Game and Fish Department:
One of only two species of parrots historically found in the U.S., the Thick-billed Parrot, will benefit from a recovery plan coauthored by the Arizona Game and Fish Department. The plan aims to grow the bird's numbers by focusing recovery on protecting, managing and restoring mature and old-growth conifer forests in Mexico.
The plan was published July 1 by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and represents the first time that the U.S. has adopted another country's endangered species recovery plan. The U.S. recovery plan closely follows the Mexican Thick-billed Parrot recovery plan with additional required elements added by the Service because the parrot is now found only in Mexico. Species experts recommend that recovery efforts concentrate on those populations already established in Mexico, where relatively large contiguous parcels of suitable habitat still exist within the birds' core range. Potential habitat in the U.S., once part of the northern edge of the parrot's historical range, is more fragmented and less suitable.
"After extensive review, it was apparent that we had a better chance of restoring populations of Thick-billed Parrot in Mexico rather than attempting to reintroduce the species with a cost-prohibitive captive breeding program in the U.S. and where habitat is more limited," says Larry Voyles, director of the Arizona Game and Fish Department and co-signor of the plan.
In developing the plan, biologists considered a captive breeding program in the U.S. that would provide birds for release. However, the estimated initial cost of $25 million over 15 years was determined to be prohibitive with little chance of success. Attempts to re-establish the bird in Arizona between 1986 and 1993 were unsuccessful partially due to the captive-raised birds reduced ability to survive in the wild.
"It just makes more sense to recover the birds in Mexico where we know they can exist and reproduce rather than try to establish a breeding population in Arizona where conditions are less suitable for the parrots," says Larry Riley, assistant director for Game and Fish's wildlife management.
The Thick-billed Parrot disappeared from the U.S. more than 70 years ago. Historically, the species was known to visit southeast Arizona and possibly northwest New Mexico, but a breeding population of birds could never be confirmed. The most recent estimates indicate that at a minimum there are just over 2,000 Thick-billed Parrots, all in the states of Chihuahua and northwest Durango in Mexico.

Learn about high country hummingbirds at July 27 festival
11 Jul 2013 4:52 PM
Sheri Williamson
Arizona Game and Fish Department
is again offering a unique opportunity for people to learn more about Arizona's hummingbirds at the 10th Annual High Country Hummers Festival. On Saturday, July 27, the
Southeastern Arizona Bird Observatory
's banding team will capture and band hummingbirds at the department's
Sipe White Mountain Wildlife Area
in eastern Arizona. The event is free and open to the public.
This is a fantastic opportunity for people to get up close and personal with these flying jewels. Observers will be able to interact with the team as they capture, measure, weigh and band birds.
This free, one-of-a-kind program will begin at 8 a.m. and conclude at noon. Costs are underwritten by the department's Heritage Fund. Supported by Arizona lottery dollars, the Heritage Fund is dedicated to the education, conservation and enhancement of Arizona's wildlife, biological diversity, scenic wonders and environment.
Other fun programs will also be offered at the wildlife area that day. There will be educational exhibits featuring live hawks and owls. You can even get your photo taken with one. Visitors can view a presentation on hummingbird natural history.
At 8:30 a.m., department staff will discuss and instruct on how to photograph hummingbirds. Be sure to bring your camera and a tripod for this hands-on activity. Staff will also lead a "birding basics" program, including identification tips and technological tools available to aid in learning about our avian visitors.
Visitors are welcome to explore the visitor center's interpretive displays on wildlife conservation, habitats and prehistoric culture. Breakfast and lunch concessions will be provided by the Springerville-Eagar Regional Chamber of Commerce.
"We encourage visitors to come prepared to spend most of the morning outdoors with potential of some summer rain," says
Bruce Sitko, spokesman in the department's Pinetop office
. "It's a good idea to bring a camera, as there will be plenty of great photo opportunities. We also require that pets be kept on a leash."
To get to the wildlife area, take Highway 191 from Eagar toward Alpine two miles to the signed turnoff at the top of the first hill. Drive south five miles to the property on a gravel road suitable for cars.

High Country Hummers Web page.

Solar powered tent helps keep fishermen warm
Submitted: 01/05/2014
Shardaa Gray
- Ice fishing probably sounds like the last thing some people would want to do in these frigid temperatures.
But some professional fishermen braved the cold with the help of some green technology.
Bone chilling temperatures didn't stop fishermen from trying to get the best catch of the day.
"You're nose and hands get a little chilly once in a while, but usually you stay pretty warm overall." said Solar Sportsman representative, Jim Davis.
11 teams competed on an icy Boom Lake in Rhinelander.
This was the first Team Extreme Ice Fishing Tournament in Wisconsin.
Fishermen from as far as Minnesota and Maryland traveled to Rhinelander to qualify for the Team Extreme Championship.
"You have to be able to go above and beyond and be able to take what mother nature gives you because we're not only out here competing against each other, we're competing against mother nature." said Wisconsin Team Extreme Ice Fishing director, Raymond Tiffany.
The tournaments director figured out a way to use Mother Nature to their advantage.
It's all thanks to a solar powered tent.
"This tent is heated. It's lighted. We run our scales off the power. We run our PA System off the power," Tiffany said.
"We're not even touching the power output that this tent is capable of."
The Wisconsin based company, Solar Sportsman, made a solar ice tent last year just for this tournament.
It's powered by a 400 watt solar module that feeds into a battery inside the tent.
"We wanted to be able to run a PA System. We wanted to be able to run a monitor. We want to have the option to run an AC Scale," said Davis.
"So we needed power out here. The one thing we didn't want to have running out on the lake is a generator to keep everything going."
"We have to move green to save our planet. We want to show that we can be� we as ice fishermen can be responsible," Tiffany said.
"We want to show we care about the outdoors and the environment."
Staying warm and keeping the air free of pollution keeps both fishermen and Mother Nature happy.

Despite the decline, the United States still has the highest teen birth rate compared to other developed countries.
There are many reasons the rate is going down, and there could be many explanations to why the U.S. is behind other countries.
Education could decrease the rate even more.

Arlington BowieDistrict 3-5A Coach: Danny DeArman Last season: 11-2 (7-0 in District), lost to DeSoto in regional semifinal Key players: OLB Edwin Freeman (6-1, 224); LB Roderick Winters (5-11, 196); DB Conan Skidmore (6-0, 180); OL Kris Thigpen (6-3, 250); WR Jordan Versey (5-10, 175); WR/QB Tony James (5-8, 150); QB Keaton Perry (5-9, 170); DB Niko Small (5-11, 170); OL Madison Akamnonu (6-5, 255); OL Clyde McCully (6-3, 240) The big picture: Bowie is stacked on defense and might be the best by the end of the season. But perhaps flying under the radar is how talented the Vols are on the offensive line. Kris Thigpen and Madison Akamnonu have an additional year of experience after dominating their positions last season, and Clyde McCully adds great size. Quarterback Tony James will shift to receiver as last season's starter Keaton Perry is back from a knee injury that ended his season in Week 2. With Perry back in the driver's seat, Jordan Versey should get more touches in the passing attack. Last season, Bowie registered nearly 6,000 yards of offense. After Perry's injury, though, James brought a more mobile style, rushing for 963 yards and 13 touchdowns. Still, Bowie stayed with the passing attack and James threw for 1,690 yards and 20 scores. Defense, though, is where the Vols are most vicious. Last season's team gave up an average of 251 yards per game but only 102 yards per game passing. Bowie returns a host of starters from last season and is looking to bolster its run-stopping ability. Last season the Vols twice allowed individual rushers over 150 yards, once had three backs combine to exceed 150 yards, and allowed two DeSoto backs each more than 100 yards in the regional semifinal. Quotable: "I love the coaches, you know I've been with those guys for awhile. It would be a lot tougher had I come in from the outside but given the fact we've been together so long, the relationship that we've developed has made it an easy process." — coach Danny DeArmanLast week's Cedar Hill scrimmage "was our first chance to see what we've got. It was exciting and we're ready for the season. We were pretty good, but it's just a start. We're going to do something amazing this year on defense." — LB Edwin Freeman "Last year we went three rounds, lost to DeSoto, and we have 15 or 16 people coming back. That's probably up there with everybody in the district and everybody who is kind of filling in played a lot last year. I think we're pretty much reloaded and have a chance to be pretty good this year." — QB Keaton Perry Notable: Bowie gave up just 77 yards passing per game in district last season. — Kevin Casas

This could be a great Inn. Breakfast delicious, rooms clean. Good location with privacy from road. Biggest problem is innkeepers, they don't seem to like their job. They don't know who the guests are, Melissa seems overworked and even though her words are polite, she makes you feel like you're imposing. We both felt this as soon as we arrived and it didn't change over the few days we were there. Also a/c noisy and bed sheet corner constantly come off of bed. These little touches are what separates the great BandBs from the so so. So some very good, some annoying aspects.
If they could learn to be more gracious and welcoming, and do a little fix-up, they could have a winning property.

Saint Basil of Ostrog
Basil was born in Popovo Selo in Herzegovina, of simple and devout parents. From his youth he was filled with love for the Church of God, and when he grew up he went to the monastery of the Dormi-tion of the Mother of God at Trebinje, and became a monk. As such, he quickly became known for his serious and rare ascetic life, for he loaded himself with ascetic practices, each harder than the last. He was later chosen and consecrated as Bishop of Zahum and Skenderia, much against his will.
As a bishop, he first lived in the monastery at Tvrdo"s, whence, as a good pastor, he confirmed his flock in the Orthodox faith, keeping it from the cruelty of the Turks and the guile of the Latins. But when he was too pressed-upon by his enemies, and when Tvrdos* was destroyed by the Turks, Basil moved to Ostrog, where he lived in strict asceticism, protecting his flock by his unceasing and loving prayers. He went peacefully to the Lord in the 16th century, leaving his whole and healing body, uncor-rupt and wonderworking, to the present day.

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Each day, 100,000 sharks are killed worldwide. An international group is working with local marinas to help them become shark free.
Salty Sam's on Fort Myers Beach is joining the Shark-Free Marina Initiative to help reduce worldwide shark mortality.
A shark-free marina doesn't allow sharks to be killed and brought back to their facility.
"We tell them go out and fish, have a great time, but if you catch and release the sharks, it's the best thing for our environment," said Gleeann Aguis, with Salty Sam's.

|Um...this thing is on private property. All the back roads have been gated and if you think you can get through Bolacks Ranch, you better wear a kevlar vest. Rad climb though!
By docsavage

I'm stoked you guys actually did this. A striking summit that has lured local mountaineers for over 40 years. Crappy 1/4" Star dryvins on north side are David Nordstrom (c) 1973. Crappy 3/8" Phillips Red Head on south side is mine (c) 1981. We never got any farther than that. Blew it off & went to climb a new route on Barber Peak the same day.
Yes, Kokopelli Spire is on private land. On the first attempt Tom Bolack himself appeared to run us off. Second time we rapped down from the rim. This approach can be recommended with the following caveats:
1. Once over the edge, you're still on private land
2. Bring your trash ropes - they will get abraded on the jumar out
3. You still have to climb Kokopelli Spire which is a vertical stack of s**t.
Number 3 is just full disclosure: All the more reason to be impressed. It sounds like the climb went just the way we thought it would....

LEE COUNTY, Fla.- Hundreds of people are supporting a move that could mean no more standardized testing for kids in school.
They want the district to opt out of testing but that could also have big consequences.
Supporters say they'd like to see the school district go back to using norm-referenced tests like the Iowa and California basic skills tests.
However, the district attorney is now warning that if board members go through with opting out, it could have very serious consequences on students and the district including a loss of state funding for Lee County Schools.
Students would also not be able to receive a standard high school diploma without taking an ACT or SAT.
A Facebook page created by the group that supports this opt out says they have close to 200 supporters planning to attend tonight's school board meeting.

Very Rare and sought after 1985 Dodge W350 factory
1 ton 4x4 crew cab short bed. This heavy duty 4x4 is 100% rustfree from the west
coast, and 74,844 actual miles. It runs and drives excellent. The 360
4 bbl engine runs smooth and strong, the 727 automatic shifts good, and the
suspension, brakes, and exhaust are all sound.
This truck unlike most 1 ton Dodges is
a true 1 ton with all the real heavy duty parts. It features a Dana 60
front axle, the bullet proof NP205 gear driven transfer case, and a matching
Dana 60 in the rear. Unfortunately, Dodge was skimpy on the real heavy
duty parts even in their 1 tons. A lot of their 1 tons only got the
Dana 44 front, and the chain driven full time NP203 transfer case.
Everything works on this truck. I
have personally used the 4x4 system. This heavy duty Dodge has some dents,
dings, and scratches, but hasn't been a beat work truck. It is all
stock and hasn't been lifted or off roaded. Bottom line it is an
excellent driver that I would hop in and drive it any place.

I've only listened to McKinty's books, never "read" them and it makes me wonder - would I enjoy them as much without Gerard Doyle's reading and interpretation? I don't know but they are all one helluva good listen, oops, including "Fifty Grand" which was definitely not read by Doyle!
Good storytelling, great character development and fast pace make this a credit worthy listen. Best quote from a younger thug before beating the crap out of older thug - "You are Jay Leno and I am Conan O'Brian". I laughed like hell over that line though it will date the novel terribly in about 5 more years. Highly recommend any of this author's books.
"Compelling Story - Great Narration"
I know when you read the blurb for this book you may think "ewww, not for me". This story is told in flashbacks as Annie talks to her therapist, so the story come out is small doses and mixes with the present time and her trouble with rejoining "real" life. Her family and friends all have opinions on how she should be handling things (don't they always?). I know this sounds like a depressing book but it isn't and Annie's cynical outlook about her past & future is humorous and down to earth, she just tells it like it is.
Angela Dawe's narration is spot on and really enhanced my enjoyment of the story, she doesn't talk too slow and handles male voices well.
The story has some twists and what seems like a simple abduction, isn't. I'm still thinking about the plot and story a few days after finishing it ... which I take as the measure of good author.
"What a Story!"
It's been a while since I listened to a book and felt moved enough to write a review but this is one of the best this year. The premise is outlandish but it really works, the writing is beautiful. This story has everything in it - humor, friends, family, love and death. Within the first 5 minutes you are hooked on this story and will have a hard time turning it off. The narration and production of this book is excellent.
If you read the other 2 books (like me) and decided to go back to the beginning to "catch up", don't! The other books in this series are unabridged, for whatever reason this one is abridged and badly. The story hop, skips and jumps with seemingly little reason. I swear this recording even starts in the middle of a sentence! I'm going to get the book out of the library, I'm sure it's a fine book - just don't waste a credit on this pitiful abridgement!
"Loved It!"
It's hard to explain the premise of this book - but what a wonderful story! I was completely drawn in within the first few minutes and could not stop listening. This book is wonderfully read, the story moves along nicely and certainly makes you wonder about "life & death". I highly recommend this book even if (like me) you're not a big fantasy/science fiction fan.

I have always wanted a nose job since the 8th...
I've chosen to post my journey on Real Self because this site has helped me to get to the decision that I have made today. There are many African Americans who do decide to do rhinoplasty but don't want to discuss it publicly let alone post pictures that could help others (like myself) who are trying to visually anticipate what to expect. I wouldn't feel that it is fair to use the site and end up not posting the duration of my experience to help others like other have done for myself.
THE PROCEDURE: My procedure will be a closed procedure where the bridge of my nose will be broken to decrease the width, the cartilage in my tip will be lessened and my nasal ala will be augmented by making small cuts on the inside of my nares. The doctor will NOT be making any cuts on the outside of my nose. (Thank god!) Overall, I am just looking to have a nose that fits my face and my petite frame yet a result that won't look as if I've contoured the heck out my nose or have distorted nostrils. I want something natural that will fit my face overall.
My surgery is scheduled for June 30th only a few days after my birthday and this is going to be one huge gift to myself! I'm excited but terrified all at the same time. I am hoping that I will love the results and it is all that I dreamt it would be.
I know I wrote a lot but I hope this helps!
My pre op is mid-June and I will update all of you then!
1 week until pre-op
Pre-op is done! Procedure is paid in full!
Day 1 Post surgery
So if you can comment below and let me know if you guys would prefer video logs daily of my progression or just photos. I can do either.
But let me just tell you how painless this procedure is (to me)!!! I have had just mild pressure on the bridge of my nose and that is about it. Yesterday (the day of surgery) I went to the surgery center they did my pregnancy test, completely changed into a surgery gown, then the nurse started my IV, verified my allergies then i met the anesthesiologist. Before they gave me anything I got to speak to my doctor and boy was I happy that we were on the same page still about what I was looking for! I also handed him a photo of my sister cause she has a nice nose. After it was over I woke up and the nurse had just allowed my family to come into the room. I waited to see the doctor to tell me how everything went. He said it went 'smooth as silk' and that I can do my follow up later in the week since I have no swelling under my eyes or bruising. I can't believe I didn't bruise or have any facial swelling! (the tip of my nose is obviously swollen tho) and just my upper lip is fatter lol. When I got home I ate twice and just laid around and I had to change my bandage about 3-4 times because of bleeding. Other than that I slept fine and haven't had any other complications. I've been taking Arnica Montana 3 times daily to reduce or stop any bruising or swelling that may want to come now after everything is over. Its a homeopathic medication my doctor recommended me to get from whole foods in case anyone was wondering. I have also chosen to eat soft foods, veggies, soups and fruits despite no food restrictions. I am also drinking ensure so I won't lose any weight from taking in less calories.
Ill keep you guys updated. If you have any questions feel free to comment below or send me a message or if you want me to do video I can post those with any questions you guys have :)
Day 4
The photo I am posting today is from Day 3 after my doctors appointment.
Day 8
Day 12
I appreciate the kind words/comments of encouragement through my healing process. I am in better spirits now and feel better about my decision each day.
Day 16
Post above is actually Day 14 (not day 12)
So I am uploading the Vlog's now. Please be aware that I am not a professional at videoing ANYTHING lol. & I took photos for you guys today too!
I forgot to address some other things that happened to me during recovery...
1. I developed an allergy to the splint on my nose. My skin broke out all over in a rash that took about 4 days after the splint was removed to go away. I used prescription topical steroid cream on my face.
2. After splint removal I'm still avoiding wearing glasses, sneezing or blowing my nose. I still haven't done any of these except sneezing as of yet. (Doctor prohibits glasses or blowing my nose so... )
3. I lost some weight from not eating as much. ):
4. Even sleeping on my back with 2+ pillows I somehow managed to flick the tip my nose in the middle of the night and BOY DOES THAT HURT! geez.
5. I had a lot of dead skin that I needed to exfoliate off my face and I used St. Ives apricot scrub very very gently.
6. Runny nose due to allergies which sucked for me since i can't blow my nose (due to internal dissolvable stitches) so I had to dab it all day
V-log Youtube links: (you will need these links in order to view)
Day 1 Post
Day 2 Post
Day 16 Post
Pain? Whats that?
Photo update
I still have SOOO much swelling at the tip. It is hard and stiff/numb like my nostrils used to be. The healing continues...
Side by Side
after is on the LEFT is my NEW nose
BEFORE is on the right
Yesterday marked 6 weeks..
So something that I noticed thats going on with my nose. I have a hyper pigmented transverse crease on my nose. It's kind of alarming but its something I only see and none else unless i point it out. I figured it is from the swelling of my nasal tip. Its not that dark but I'm afraid it will get worse or become permanant if the swelling doesn't go down fast enough.
Other than that I have finally been cleared of any restrictions! I can wear my glasses and sunglasses again finally! :) Ill post photos at a later date!
New glasses for the new nose!
Anyway I got new glasses! For the new schnoz! I am a few days short of 2 most post op!

Title: Trimming native Yucca filamentosa for winter in Illinois
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I live in northern IL and I have approximately 5 yucca plants, Adams needle, my question is do I need to trim them down for winter for best growth the next year?
Yucca filamentosa (Adam's needle) doesn't need pruning per se. You should always cut back the woody blooms stalk as soon as blooming is over unless you are planning to harvest seeds. If you are trying to harvest seeds, the chartreuse-green seed pods should remain on the plant until they turn brown or black and begin to split. This article from Ohio State University on Yucca filamentosa will give you some information on trimming the basal foliage. If some of your yuccas are beginning to outgrow the area in which you want them to grow, you might do some trimming on the blades that are protruding where you don't want them. Please be very careful, protecting yourself or whoever is doing the trimming. Heavy clothing covering and protecting the arms and legs, leather gloves and even goggles are all necessary. As you bend over to trim the trunk, those sharp points are going to be trying to get you wherever they can. You especially don't want one of those in your eye. To quote from that article:
"Dead basal foliage needs to be carefully removed with a sharp knife in early Spring (wear gloves; the tough foliage can be sharp on its edges, in addition to the knife), and immature fruiting stalks are best pruned away just after flowering has finished in mid-Summer."

W. T. SIMPSON LIQUID FEED FORCING APPLIANCE June 8 1926.
Filed Oct. 2l, 1920 @Patented .lune 8, 1926.
Peril PMI WARD1 T. SINEPSON, OF ANN AREG-R, MIGHGAN.
LIQUIDeFEED-FRCE'NG APE-LIANCE.
Application filed Gletober 2l, 1920. Serial No. 418,416.
1t is the object.- ofv myv invention` to provide means whereby a liquid may be forced to a desired point, such as oilin a lubricatingsystem', without the use of acylinder and piston, usually employed, by utilizing the power derived from the suction and compression in. the cylinder of the engine or compressor, toy act. directly upon the liquid to be forced to t-h'evpointsV of delivery or the parts to be lubricated.` Other objects of theinvention willbe clear from theg following description and. the scope of the invention will bev defined. in the appended claims, it: being understood that the drawing, together withx the description, is.. to beregardcd as'illustrative of one form of my invention and. not as restrictive upon its scope.
rlihe. drawing shows in` Figure 1 a central sectional view of the inventiony which may be applied as a force feed unit of a lubricating system for automobiles, or inother situations and for other uses.
Fig. Qis a detail view.
Fig. 3 is a plan: view of the invention combined with afitting whereby a plurality of connections may cooperate with the force feed chamber'.
Fig; 4; is: a sectional view on line 4 4. of lig.,
Referring to Figs. 1 andQ, the numeral 1 indicates a chamber having a pipe Qleadi-ng thereto by which the interior of the chamber is subjected to pulsations from the combustion chamber or compression space of an automobile engine or a cylinder of a compressor or other engine.
3 is al pipe for supplying the liquid, for instance oill, from a suitable reservoir, and 1l is a dclivery pipe by which the-liquid isl conveyed from the deviceto the point where it is to be delivered.
These two pipes connectv with' the branch 5 which is in rcommunication with the lower part of the chamber, as shown. In this branch there isa valve or plunger 6, ln the present instance this is in the form of aball adapted to fit an. upper seat 7 and a lower seat 8 controlling the flow of the liquid to and from the chamber. For this purpose the ball or plunger works inI the space between the two seats and when the plunger is passing;- from one seat to the other, theA liquid may flow past the plunger or ball on all sides thereof to or from: the chamber, as the case may be.
The supply pipe is furnished with a check valve 9 closingtowards the supply reservoir, and the delivery pipe is provided with a check valve 10 closingtowards the branch 5.
The plunger or ball valve is carried by a stem 11, pressed normally upwardly by a spring 12 seated on the bottom of the charnber and connected at its upper end with the stem. There is a float member 13 within the chamber adapted to bear on the upper end of the valve stem, and, preferably, this float member is not attached to the stem but can have movement independent thereof. The float does not lit the chamber tightly and at one side there is a channel 14C for the passage of the liquid alongside of the float, the purpose of this construction being` to eliminate the undue rise or creeping` of the liquid due to capillary attraction and to allow the liquid' to be influenced promptly and freely by the pulsations from the compression chamber of the engine.
ln the operation of the device, by the pulsations from the engine cylinder, i. e., the suction and compression following each other in rapid succession, the plunger or ball valve will be in rapid reciprocation between its two seats. On the suction stroke it will raise, but during its movement from its lower to its upper seat it will permit the liquidy to be drawn past it from the supply pipe and into the force feed chamber, itV being understood that check valve 10 will now be closed and the check valve 9 will bev open. (ln the compression stroke of the engine piston the liquid will be placed under pressure and the plunger 6 will be forced from its upper to its lower seat, but as soon as it leaves its upper seat and until it reaches its lower seat, the liquid will be forced past it and into the delivery pipe from the chamber 1, check valve 10 now being open and check valve 9 closed. rllhis pressure from the engine cylinder as well as the suction inentioned above, acts directly ou the liquid and no piston is employed. such as in a pump of ordinary form, and at each cycle of operation a substantially definite or predetermined amount of oil is drawn into the chamber from the supply and a substantially equal amount is forced out of the chamber and through the delivery pipe, sov that a prescribed charge of oil is delivered to the parts to be lubricated for each reciprocation of the eng-ine or compressor piston.
So long` as the supply and delivery of the oil to and from the chamber 1 are equal and, as a consequence, the level of the oil in said chamber is maintained, the lloat will be practically out oit service, it remaining {loating above the stem of the valve Without having any effect thereon, but should the supply et oil tlowing in from the supply pipe 3 become reduced from any cause, then the level the liquid in the chamber 1 will tall, due to the discharge ot liquid from the chamber exceeding the supply, and the float l tall and contact with the valve and stein and load he saine so that the movement ot the valve will be eitl "educed or will pracicaly cease, and t ner i ie valve Will then gravitate to its lovver seat and will prevent the compression strokes from clearing the oil delivery pipe and blowing out through said pipe and reducing the power of the engine on account ol losing a part ot its compression. This condition will continue until the supply pipe opens up and permits the suction stroke oit the engine to draw threuch from the reservoir, and again build up the supply in the chamber to the point Where the lloat is buoyed up again.
lt, on the other hand, the outlet pipe becomes stopped, the suction strokes Will draw 'i the liquid and buoy up the loat, relieve the spring and allow it to scat the plunger and prevent the engine from drawing liquid into its ov-:n compression chamber, and this condition will continue until the delivery pipe has opened or partly opened, the ball valve remaining on its upper scat and pre venting any liquid being drawn into the chamber and thence to the engine.
ln my device there is no piston for pumping the liquid, but the pulsations from the engine act directly on the liquid itself.
`With a piston, under slow movement, leakage past the piston is liable to take place and thus the piston arrangement is of low etliciency at slow speeds. This, however, is not so with my devic The passages at the top of the lorce l'eed chamber are small, in order to get effective action with small power.
l show in lligs. 3 and 4 development of the invention tor supplying liquid to a number ot' delivery points. A suitable traine has a ninnber ot branches l5 to supply different parts ot the system. Each ot these branches is supplied with oil from the main supply pil e 3. and there is a check valve 9. between each branch pipe and lthe supply pipe closing towards the supply pipe, and there is also a. cheek valve 10 at the discharge end ot each branch 15.
Ylilach ot these branch pipes communi ates vfith a passage 1G connected by branch 16 with thcintcrior et the torce leed chamber, and there is a plunger or ball 6X operating in a pocket 1T in each branch 15, said pocket li-.iving a scat 18 and a second seat 19, the
latter being on the end ot a tube 2O screw threaded into the Fitting or casing and having head 21 by which it may be turned. rihis pipe communicates with the passage 16 through an opening 22, it being understood that there is one of these tubes in each branch 15.
llhe pulsations tro-m the compression space of the motor acting directly on the liquid in the torce l'eed chamber will, on the compression stroke, exert pressure on the oil in passages 16X and 16, and the plungers or balls 6X under normal conditions all will be unseated at 19 and during the time they are passing from seat 19 to seat- 18 there will be discharge ot oil from the branches 15. l.When the valve or plunger reaches the seat 18, further discharge will cease.
During this discharging action all ot the inlet check valves 9 Will be closed.
@n the suction stroke the suction will be exerted on the liquid in the chamber l and consequently on the liquid in passage 1G, which is in free communication with chamber l and hence oil will be drawn in through all the check valves in the inlet line into the various branches 15, as Well as into the main chamber, but this sucking in ot the liquid Will go on only While the plungers or ball valves are passing from the seat 18 to the seat 19, so that a limited amount of oil Will be drawn in and this Will be discharged at the next compression stroke.
rlhc plunger seats may be changed'so as to give diilerent lengths ot movement to the plungcrs for varying the feed otl oil. Thus the branch connection 5 may be provided with a removable member 5X having a seat for the plunger, so that by removing this seat member and replacing it with another oit different length, the seats for the plunger may be located closer together or farther apart to get dill'lerent quantities ot' oil past the plunger at each movement.
rl`his adjustment is also true of the seats for the plungers or balls 6*. Here one seat is on the removable tube 20, which may be replaced by another tube ot different length.
The torce 'feed chamber cooperates with the several branches as a compensating or controlling means therefor. It, tor instance, any one ot the plungers allous too much liquid to pass it on the suction stroke, this excess Will raise the level oi liquid in the float chamber and the float will raise and the main plunger will raise and cut Ott' its Own supply by the action ot the spring as Well as the suction, and then on the compression stroke this charge will be forced out t'rom the chamber. lt, on the other hand, any one ot the plungers leaks when on its seat 18 and thus causes the level of the liquid in the chamber 1 to lower or tend to lower. the main plunger will be depressed by the Weight ot the oat and will prevent the full discharge of oil into the discharge passage 4t. Any branch l5 which may have a leak or go out of service will not prevent the other branches or the main chamber l from operating.
The device shown in Fig.. l is a unit com.- plete in itself and may be used either with or without the other parts shown in Figs. 3 and 4.
