SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 378,812, dated February 28, 1888.
Application filed April 5, 1887. Serial No. 233,771.
To all whom t may concern:
Beit known that I, CHAELEs N. TYLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Buffalo, Erie county, New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Fluid- Discharge Devices, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a eontrivance for withdrawingthe liquids from receptacles; and it consists ot' a discharge-tube pivotally connected to the lower portion of the receptacle, constructed and adjust-able as fully set forth hereinafter, and as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side view of a receptacle provided with two forms of my improved discharge contrivance. Fig. 2 is a view illustrating a different connection of the contrivancc with the vessel. Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional view of said contrivance. Fig. et is a detached sectional view of the dischargetube.
For the purpose of illustrating my invention I have shown it in Fig. l in connection with an oil-can, A; but it will be understood that it may be combined with various different receptacles, which I shall designate under the term receptacle The said receptacle A has near the bottom a' socket or opening, within which iits a metal casing, B, having a packed socket for the reception of the horizontal portion of an Lshaped tube, C, which can turn in said casing to either a horizontal, vertical, or any intermediate position, and which is preferably provided at the upper end with a curved terminal'or siphon section, 3, iitting a packed boX, 4, carried by the tube C, so that the section 3 may be revolved to carry its curved end to any desired side. Vith the interior of the casing B communicates a short pipe, 5, to which is applied the lower end of a flexible tube, hl, provided with a glass section, 6, having graduations thereon, which glass section isin the line of said tube. rIlhe receptacle A is provided with a linger or projection, 8, upon which the tube E may be hung in such position that the level of the iluid in the receptacle will be exhibited in the transparent section 6, and it will be evident that by adj ustinent ofthe tubeE the section 6 may be kept in position approximating the level of (No model.)
the duid, and the graduations upon the section 6 will indicate the changes in level which take place when the fluid is passing out ofthe receptacle.
So long as the level of the liquid is below that of the turn-up tube C the contents of the can will be retained therein; but if it be desired to withdraw any particular portion of the contents-say for instance, the quantity resulting from a change of level of one, two, or more inches, which quantity may be estimated from the size of the can-the tube G may be turned down to an inclined position, with its end suflieiently below the level of the liquid in the receptacle to insure the iiow of the desired quantity, and a suitable vessel may be placed beneath the spout of the tube C, and the liquid may run therefrom without further attention upon the part of the operator, the flow of liquid ceasing as the level in the receptacle is in line with the discharge end of the tube.
By turning the nozzle 3 outward or toI one side the iiuid may be directed in such manner as to facilitate its withdrawal, and the nozzlesection 3 may be smaller in diameter than the section C and slide therein, thus affording a means of changing the length of the deliverysection as may be desired, to facilitate the operation. Such a construction is illustrated in Fig. 4, which is a sectional View enlarged, and shows an ordinary telescopic fluid-tight joint uniting two circular tubes, the lower one or discharge-tube, C, being the larger, while the nozzle-section 3 is of smaller size and fits therein. The upper end of tube C is en larged and externally screw-threaded to re-l ceive the nut or cap K., through which passes the section 3, and which serves to confine the packing material L against the end of tube G closely around the smaller tube of section 3.
.The lower end of tubesection 3 is provided with a head or flange, 3', by which accidental removal is prevented.
Instead of applying the casing B to thesocket in the vessel, I in some instances connect said casing to a pipc,G, connecting with the bottom of the vessel, as shown in Fig. 3, this construction being serviceable when the vessel must loe placed in an elevated position.
The metal easing .B is simply a packing-box,
thereto by screw-th reads (not shown) or by the annular head or iiange g, which prevents the Withdrawal of the socketBfrom the tube when not united by screw-threads. The end of the horizontal portion of the discharge-tube Gis also provided with a head or iiange, c, adapted to enter the opening (which is enlarged therefor) in socket B, and to lie close to flange g on pipe G.
I is a sleeve surrounding the horizontal portion of the discharge-tube, and provided externally with a screw-thread, z', by which it is united with the socket B, it being adapted to be screwed up close to flange c, and thereby confine the discharge-tube in casing or socket B.
II isa nut surrounding tube C and engaging with threads i of sleeve I, and forming therewith a box adapted to receive the packing h.
From the above description and an examination of the drawings, it will be seen that the discharge pipe or tube may be turned in the casingB to a more or less inclined position without the danger of disconnecting the parts or causing the same to leak.
Vhen pipe G is dispensed with, identically the construction just described may be used, (with the exception of part G,) the casing or socket B being inserted directly into the receptacle A. However, I do not wish to be limited to the precise construction described.
Without limiting myself to the precise construction and arrangement of parts shown, I claim-4- l. The combination of a receptacle, A, a discharge-tube, and a separate pipe containing a transparent graduated section, said section being vertically adjustable relatively to the fluid line, substantially as set forth. 5o
2. The combination of the receptacle A, discharge-tube C, pivotally connected therewith, flexible pipe E, and transparent section 6 in the line of said pipe, substantially as set forth.
3. The combination of a receptacle, A, a socket-piece, B, inserted therein, an L-shaped tube, C, turning in said socket, a nozzle section, 8, of smaller size than said L-shaped section, sliding therein and also turning around its longitudinal axis, and a fluid-tight connection between tube C and the nozzle-section, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
CHARLES N. TYLER.
