Abstract
Abstract of the Disclosure This application is directed to an apparatus for exact dosing of a fluent additive, especially a medicine, into the drinking-water intended for cattle. The drinking-water is pumped up from a well or a reservoir by means of a pumping device driven by the cattle, when the drinking water is required, and comprises a piping for the additive, which is connected, by means of a tight gasket, to a main suction piping. The piping for the additive is connected at its other end to a dosing member with a built-in non-return valve placed in a container with the additive. The dosing member is provided with a cross-sectional opening for passage of the additive, which cross-sectional opening is determined by a replaceable nozzle.
Description
5~
This invention relates to an apparatus for dosing a fluent additive, especially a medicine, into drinking-water inten-ded for cattle, the drinking-water being pumped up from a well or a reservoir by means of a pumping device, when the drinking-water is re~uired.
Cattle graz;ng in -the summer usually ge-t intestinal worms, even -to a considerable extent if the cattle graze on the same field throughout the season. The growth of the cattle, i.e.
the production of meat, is reduced because of these worms. Means are known for treating cattle with intestinal worms. These means are to be taken fluently, for example with water, which means that the cattle has to be captured in order to make sure that the right dose of medicine is taken, which is very important for the result of the treatment. However, the treatment has to take place several times with intervals auring the grazing period. This causes a lot of work if the cattle have to be captured each time.
Therefore, the treatment is often given up, because cattle infec-ted by worms are not really ill. In order to facilitate the treatment it is advantageous to use a dosimeter for the anthelmin-tic in connection with pumps for drinking-water.
German Patent No. 2,309,414 which was published on August 29, 1974 in the name of Alfred Waletzko shows a dosimeter for fluent additives which is mountable on a water tap. The apparatus works on the basis of the ejector effect or entrainment effect which is caused by the flow of the water in the tap.
Therefore the apparatus can only work at a suitably high velocity of flow of water in the tap, i.e. when the water in the tap is under pressure. The apparatus cannot work if the water passes .

through the appara'cus as a result of a comparatively weak suction.
Further, the dosing with ~his apparatus is not sufficiently exact for the intended purpose,as the quantity of the additives is clepcndent on the velocity of flow of the water in the tap and not only on ~he quan~.ity of the Elow.ing water.
The character.istic of -the apparatus according to the present .invention is that a piping for the additive is connected by means of a tigh-t gasket to a main suction pip;.ng and that the piping for the additive is connected at its other end to a dosing member with a built-in non-return valve placed in the container with the additive. Thus a dosimeter is obtained which has a constant proportion of mixture under all circumstances, i.e. also during varied suction and aspiration, when the pump i.s started.
This is due to the fact that the water in the main 15 ~ suction piping and the fluid in the piping for the additive provide a system of continuous liquid columns.
Further, the apparatus according to the present inven-tion may be characterized in that the dosing member is provided with an adjustable cross-sectional opening for passage of the additive. The limiting opening may consist of a plate with a hole. If the dosing member and this plate are made in a suitable manner, the plate may in a simple way be repalced by other plates with other hole diameters, if it is required to change the dosing.
By using replaceable nozzles with a constant opening, a correct dosing will be secured contrary to a nozzle with a variable, adjustable cross-sectional opening.
The invention will be further descri.bed with reference :
to the drawinys, in which

valve 12, 15, 16, 17 which is to be placed below the water line ~, a tight gasket 7 at the connection of the side piping 2 to the main piplng l and a non-return valve, which is no-t shown, in khe main suction piping l which is also to be placed below the water line of the well or reservoir. When all these conditions are Eulfilled, a system is achieved, which is always filled with fluid up -to the pump. When activating the pump, for example, a drinking pump, fluid will be sucked from the main suction piping 1 and the side piping 2 with a constant proportion of mixture determlned by the area of the nozzle outlet in the nozzle dia-phragm 14 and by the cross sectional area of the main suction piping 1. The proportion of mixture is constant, as the supply of the additive 3 is not conditioned by any entrainment or ejector effect from the flow in the main suction piping, but by a pure suction from the pump above the joint 7.
If it is not required to add the additive 3, the valve 8 may be closed and the container 4 may be removed totally by removing the side piping 2 at the pipe stub of the closing valve 8.
The invention is not restricted by the placing of the nozzle dia-phragn 14 above the valve casing 12, as this may be placed at any -suitable place, for example at the closing valve 8. The nozzle member, in the drawing a nozzle diaphragm 14, may also be shaped in any way, whereby a dosing or limiting effect on a flow of fluid is obtained.
2S Fig 3 shows how the dosimeter is connected partly to a water reservoir 18 and partly to a drinking pump l9. The drinking pump 19 is activated by the cattle 20, as the pump lever 21 will be moved forwards and backwards, when the muzzle 22 of the cattle is pressed into the trough 23 in order to reach the fluid on the .
' 5~2 bottom of -the trough 23. The dosimeter is placed in a box 24 which can be locked and be placed safely beyond the reach of the cattle.
The apparatus according to -the present invention is descr:ibecl ln connec-ti.on with a drin~:ing pump. Of course .it ma~
also be used in connection wi-th other kinds of suction pumps, such as, for example, wind mill water pumps.
The apparatus is easy to operate as the weight is low and it does not take up much space. The side piping 2 does not have to be longer than 50 cm.
