f TED STATES PATENT ()1"J5IGEl FREDERICK PHILIPPI, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.
IMPROVEMENT IN WATER-METERS.
Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 170,895, dated December 7, 1875; application iiled May 1, 1875.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FREDERICK PHILIPPI, of St. Louis, in the county of St. Louis and State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Improved Water-Meter, of which the following is a specification :A
This invention relates to that class of liquidineters which work or measure the fluid by means of bags. The water, in filling one bag, expands it, and in doing so con tracts by'emptying' the other, and vice versa, and it is this emptying of each bag measured by a registering device that determines the quantity of the liquid passed through the apparatus. The features or means accomplishing this operation are the inlet-pipes with the bags, and their further connection to a tilting lever that controls the valves in each bag, all arranged to operate in the manner now to appear.
Oi' the drawing', Figure 1 is a longitudinal section through the apparatus, with valve parts also shown, Fig. 2 being a top plan of Fig. l, showing, besides, the pipe arrangement.
My meter is surrounded by a suitable casing filled with water, so as t'o equalize the pressure on the apparatus.
A is the inside framing, upon which the operative parts are mounted. To the sides of the frame A the bags B B' are secured in a water-tight manner. These bags can be of cloth, leather, rubber, or similar material. I divide the bags by a Water-tight partition, b, which forms the two compartment-bags B B',
` the object being to allow the liquid toiill one of said bags While the other empties. The partition b at top carries a roller, C, which runs along the lower edge of a tilting lever. Forming part of the bottom ot' the partition b is a truck, C', having rollers, which run along on top of a brace-rod, c, (see Fig. 1,) the object ot' the rollers above and below being not only to guide and ease the motion of the bags to and fro, but specially to utilize the movement ofthe bags to control the valve attachment, which further controls the inlet and outlet of the liquid in its passage to and out from the meter. Hence this valve attachnotched arms d2, which are pivoted to the brace-rod d. (See Fig. l.) d3 are springs which hold the arms d2 against the stops. The arms d2 project below the lever, as shown in Fig. 1, so as to be operated by the contact of the upper roller C. The outer lever ends have springs e above and springs el below', and connect by valve-rod c2 to a pivoted valve, e3, as clearly shown in Fig. l. E E' are the supply-pipes. All said pipes enter the apparatus where t e valve e3 controls their openings.
The position of the meter being as shown in the drawing, the operation of the apparatus is as follows The valve to the' right opening the supply-pipe E', the iiuid enters, filling the bag B', and by force causing the movable partition b to move to the left, while at same time the water is being forced out of the bag B through the discharge-pipe F. The bag B keeps on discharging until, by the 'contact of the roller O with the left-hand arm d2, this is thrown out of engagement, causing the opposite lever end to become engaged with the arm d2, which reverses the valve e3, and the Water then enters through the opposite supply-pipe E into the empty bag B, illing the same, and at the same time emptying the bag Bl through the disch arge-pipe F', the roller C still moving to the right, until, by contact with the arm d2, the operation of th'e valve Iattachment is reversed, and thus one bag is filling while the other discharges.
Any-suitable registering device is attached to the apparatus, by means whereof the number of discharges ot' the iuid from each bag is kept known.
What I claim is- The combination of the bags B B', movable partition b, carrying-roller C, truck C', the tilting lever D, having stops d', arms d2, and valve attachments e3, with inlet and discharge pipes E E' F F', all arranged to operate in the manner and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony of said invention I have hereunto set my hand.
y FRED. PHILIPPI.
