DAVID BIRDSALL, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO THOMAS JOYCE,
OF SAME PLACE, AND JOHN D. AVEBILL, OF NEW YORK CITY.
IMPROVEMENT IN APPARATUS FOR FILLING AND EMPTYING OIL-TANKS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 123,859, dated February 20, 1872.
To all whom "it may concern:
Be it known that 1, DAVID BIRDSALL, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and valuable Improvement in Suction-Pump, &c.; and I do do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawing making a part of this specification and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.
This invention has relation to an improved suction-pump for discharging oil-chambers, gas-reservoirs, and other purposes, where a smooth and even flow is required; and it consists in the construction and novel arrangement of the water and air-chambers and tubes of communication hereinafter described. It is also intended to serve as a means for evening or equalizing the action of an ordinary air or suction-pump, and is designed for use chiefly in connection with gas apparatus where an even flow is of great importance.
In the accompanying drawing, the letter A designates an air-tight-chamber placed above a similar air-tight chamber, B. 0 represents the inlet-pipe, inserted through the Wall of A, and adapted, by means of an ordinary coupling or otherwise, to be connected with the pipe from the reservoir or vessel to be discharged. D represents a tube passing through the chamber A into the chamber B. This tube is provided with a plug or packing-box at its upper end, through which passes a rod, to. An opening, 0, is made in the tube D at a point near the bottom of the chamber A, and below this opening a valve-seat, I), is formed to suit the valve 61 constructed at the end of the rod a. At some point between the opening 0 and the top of this tube a female screw-thread is designed to be formed in the tube to operate in connection with a thread upon the rod to. The top of this rod is fitted for the application of a key, or otherwise adapted to be turned from its upper end, for the purpose of raising or lowering the valve. E represents a tube passing from the lower chamber B upward through the chamber A. This tube is provided with a regulating-cock, e, at its upper end.
The operation of this pump is as follows: The chamber A having been filled with water, the pipe from the carburetiug-tank or other reservoir which it is desired to empty is connected at the coupling of the pipe 0. The valve-rod a is now raised toopen communication between the water-chamber A and the air-chamber B. Finally the cock 0 is opened for the escape of the air from the lower chamber B. The water will now flow from the tank A into the chamber B, and its place in the upper or vacuum-chamber will be supplied by the oil or gas from the reservoir being discharged.
For ordinary purposes the power of the water-pump above described will be sufficient; but its force may be increased by the application of an air or suction pump to the tube E; and in this connection it serves an important purpose in preventing the strokes of the piston of the air-pump from interfering with the steady and even flow from the oil-reservoir.
The advantages of this invention are chiefly discernible in its application to carburetors and other reservoirs connected with the pipes by which illuminating .gas is supplied for 0011- sumption.
Olm'm.
What I claim as my invention is-- The equalizing-pump for discharging oil-reservoirs, consisting of the air-tight chambers A and B, placed one over the other, and separated by a horizontal partition, the inlet-tube G, valve-tube D, valve-rod a, and the air-
