Application November 30, 1949, Serial No. 130,302

1 Claim. (C1. 210-36) My invention relates generally to mixing chambers and specifically to mixing chambers in which soap, detergents, or other materials are picked up by a fluid passing through.

It is among the objects of my invention to conduct a uid into a mixing chamber, disperse it in the presence of another material, so that it may become thoroughly involved with or take up that material and then conduct some of the material out of the chamber without interfering with the balance of the material remaining behind, or it may leave behind part of its contents.

It is another object of my invention to provide a labyrinth through which a uid may be conducted and discharged after it has taken up a quantity of other material, or left behind a part of its contents.

Yet another object of my invention is to provide a repository for a quantity of material which will bring it in contact with a fluid and yet not permit the material to be entirely swept away by the fluid.

Still another object of my invention is to provide a chamber for rapidly mixing material with a fluid whenever the fluid is channeled into the f chamber.

It is among the further objects of my invention to provide a mixing chamber which is simple in form, relatively easy to construct and and the bottom of the opening is likewise provided with threads 2I to receive the inner chamber I2. The lid I4 is also provided with a discharge port 22 by which the contents of the outer chamber II are discharged.

There is a cap for the inner chamber I2. The cap is provided with threads 23 to engage the threads I9 of the lid. A suitable washer 24 is used to insure a tight seal. The cap 20 has an annular channel 25 opposite the entrance port I6 of the lid I4. A number of

passages

26, 26 extend through the cap 20 and intersect with holes 21 in the bottom of the cap 20.

The inner chamber I2 has an externally c threaded lip 28 that engages the thread 2I of the lid I4. The bottom of the inner chamber I2 is provided with a number of holes 29 that provide a passage into the outer chamber II. An annular recess 30 in the bottom of the lid I4 provides access from the outer chamber I I to the discharge port 22.

The operation of the mixing chamber is as follows. A detergent, or other material, is disposed in the inner chamber I2. A fluid is conducted through the entrance port I6 into the annular channel 25. From there, it enters the passages 2B and goes out the holes 2'I, whence it falls on the detergent in the inner chamber I2. The detergent, or other material, is dissolved maintain, inexpensive and durable. 30 and the fluid passes out the holes 29 into the These objects and advantages, as well as many outer chamber II. The fluid then goes into the other objects and advantages, may be achieved annular recess 30 and out of the discharge port from the device illustrated in the drawings in 22. A washer 3I will seal the lid to the outer which: chamber I I.

Referring now to the drawings in detail, my without departing from the spirit of the invenmixing chamber provides an outer chamber II tion. and an inner chamber I2. The outer chamber I daim;

II is provided with intern-al threads I3 at the top. There is a lid I4, for the outer chamber II, that has a downwardly extending threaded flange I5 which engages with the internal threads I3 of the outer chamber II. with an entrance port I5. There is an opening I8 in the center of the lid. The entrance port I6 communicates with the opening I8 in the center of the lid I4. The top of this opening I8 is provided with threads I9 to receive a cap 2D The lid I4 is provided A mixing chamber for continuously dissolving and mixing solid materials in a liquid flowing therethrough comprising an outer chamber open at one end, a lid attached to the open end of the outer chamber and having a passage therein terminating in a discharge port, and said lid further having a central opening therein, a perforate inner chamber open at one end and positioned within the outer chamber with its open end connected to the opening in the lid, a cap 3 for the top of the inner chamber attached to the UNITED STATES PATENTS lid and having a passage therein, said iid also Number Name Date having an entrance port communicating with the 188 606 Bordet Mar 2o 1877 passage in the cap and the said passage in the 618'349 Heany Jan'24' 1899 cap having a plurality of holes extending to the 5 1 176'126 B ene dc't "Mm" 21 1916 inner chamber.
