My invention is an improvement in measpacking 60f cork or the like is interposed be-' uring instruments and relates more particutween the tube andthe back wall of the'sepalarly to mountings therefor. rable section'2 to provide a Cushion seat for One of the objects of my invention is to this portion of the tube. A scale 7 is slidably mount measuring instruments such as maadjustable alongthe tube and is carried by the nometers or the like so that they may be separable section of the mountingQ. partly dismantled for cleaning without dis- SectionQ of the mounting is preferably cast turbing external connections. in one piece and comprises a back wall 8 and Another object of my invention is to prooutwardly extending side and bottom periph vide a simple separable mounting of the type eral walls 9'and 10 respectively. These walls described which is inexpensive to manufacconstitute a protective housing for the glass ture and which affords a protective housing tube of the manometer and extend outwardly for the instrument. to intersect a plane beyond the tube walls.

In order is formed of separable sections which when that the separable sections of the mounting assembled together permit the communicamay be secured together in fluid transmitting v Y tiOn of fluids therebetween. relation I have provided a wing nut or other V In the embodiment illustrated, I have fastening means 20 on the pin 13. It will" shown the usual manometer U-tube 1 removtherefore be seen that by screwing the nut 20 ably secured within one of the separable housdownwardly on the pin the separable secv of the tube extend through openings 4 in the gether in fluid transmitting relationwithout housing, while the bend of the tube may be danger of leakage.

A guide pins 21 which may be carried by the 9;
When it is desired to clean the manometer tube 1, or, in the event of damage to the tube, it is desired to replace it with another tube it is not necessary to disconnect the mounting as a unit from the fluid system in which the manometer is a part. By my invention I have provided a separable mounting which permits the cleaning or replacement of a tube by simply removing the nut 20 and drawing the separable section 2 downwardly from the head 14 without disconnecting the conduits 17 from the head. In this manner considerable time mav be saved in cleaning or repairing a measuring instrument provided with a mounting constructed in accordance with my invention.
Various changes may be made in the details of construction and arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit of my invention or the scope of the appended claims.
I claim: 7
1. In a manometer, a manometer tube, a mounting for the tube including a head having means adapted for connection with a fluid pressure line, and a housing for the tube separably connected with the head and having openings through which the ends of the tube protrude, said openings a'fl'ording communication through the head for the tube ends with the fluid pressure line.
2. In a manometer, a manometer tube, a mounting for the tube including a head having means adapted for connection with a fluid line, a housing for the tube separably connected with the head and having openings through which the ends of the tube protrude, said openings affording communication through the head for the tube ends with the fluid line, and means for guiding said head and said protruding tube ends into fluid transmitting relation when the head and housing are moved into position to be secured together.
3. A mounting for manometers including a head, a manometer tube support separablv secured to the head, said head having openings therethrough for connection at one "of their ends with a fluid line and at their other respective ends with a manometer tube, a manometer tube carried by the support, packing means between the head and the support, a pin carried by the support and extending through the head, and means cooperating with the pin to separably secure the head and support together.
4;. -A manometer mounting comprising separable body and head portions having communicating openings therein to receive the ends of a manometer tube, said head portion having. means adapted to be connected to a source of fluid, and means carried by the body signature.
