BARREL TILTER.

GEORGE ARMSTRONGUOF LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND, ASSIGNORIO IIIHSELF AND WILLIAM H. EOKERT, 'OF OSWEGO., NEW YORK.
Letters Patent No. 103,540, datedA May 31, 1870.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent: and making part of the same.
To all whom 'it may concern Be it known that I, Geenen ARMSTRONG, of the city oi' Liverpool, England, have invented a new and improved Barrel-'Filter and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification, in wl1ich- Figure l is a sectional side view of my invention;
Figure 2 is a ii'ont view; and
Figure 3 shows a modification of the same.
Similar letters of reference indicate like parts in the several figures.
In drawing ale and beer from the barrel, as the liquor gets low the barrel has to be tilted np to getall the liquor, but in so doing the sediment and hops arc liable to be so disturbed as to make'the liquor objectionable, and the hops are shaken down and settle at the faucet, so as to interfere with its free action.
The object of this invention is to provide a means by which the barrel will be self-tilting, andwill change its position so gradually, as the barrel becomes emptied, that these objections shall be entirely obviated and VThe invention consists in supporting the rear end of the barrel by a spring, which will gradually raise that end as the weight ot' liquor within the barrel is diminished by drawing therefrom, as hereinafter more fully explained.
In the accompanying drawing- A is the balTel.
B Bkare the stringers or bed-pieces oi' timber, upon which the barrels rest.
C, fig. 1, is a coiled spring, which is placed on the stringer'B'ind under 'the rear end of the barrel. This spring has guide-rods e e e, sh 'wn in front view, iig. 2, and has also a seat,.d, on its u per end, for the barrel to rest on.
Before placing a barrel on .the stringcrs, the spring is depressed and secured in that posit-ion by inserting a piu in the hole f, fig. 2, and, after tho barrel has been seated, said pin is withdrawn and the spring rcleased; and when the liquor has been partly withdrawn from the barrel, the tilting spring C begins to act, and gradually elevates the rear end ot' the barrel, until it has been entirely emptied. By this means the liquor is all drawn from the barrel, and there is no waste or trouble with sediment, as'heretotore.
.I do not wish to confine myself to any particular modification of spring, as it can be made and arranged lin many ways, one ot' which is shown in iig. 3, being a standard, which supports a spring, O', above the barrel. But this standard can be, in some cases, dis pensed with, and the spring G be supported above the barrel by a rope, rod, or chain from the ceiling Overhead, especially when the barrels are kept in cellars. A fiat spring can also be arranged longitudin` allyunder the barrel, with one end fastened to or resting upon the front Stringer B, while the rear end of the spring is left free to act on the barrel; or a leaf Spring, something similar to a carriage spring, can be used on the rear Stringer` B in place of the coiled spring C.
Having thus described my invention,
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Let- 4 ters Patent, is-
A spring support for 'the rear end of the barrel A, so arranged as to tilt the'barrel as the weight of liquor within it is diminished, for the purpose herein speciiied.
The above specification of my invention signed by me this 4th day of January, 1870.l
GEORGE ARMSTRONG.
