MEASURlNG-FAUCET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 422,530, uated'Mm-Ch 4, 1890.
Application filed October 25, 1889- Serial No.A 328,168. (No model.)
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, FLORENZ KEISER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pottstown, in the county of Montgomery and State of Pennsylvania, have -invented certain new and useful Improvements in Measuring-Faucets and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention. relates to a form of measuring-faucet in which the passing liquid is caused to turn a wheel located in a cylindrical chamber, each revolution of which wheel permits the passage of a known quantity of the liquid and is automatically registered.
The invention consists in certain improvef ments in the construction and combination of the parts, as herein fully set forth, and specified in the claims.
Figure 1 is a full-face View of the complete faucet with the registencap removed. Fig. 2 is a section through X Y of Fig. 1 Fig. 3 is a separate view ofthe register-cap- The body of the faucet is a shallow cylinder A, in which is located a paddle-wheel, the paddles E of which project from a center E toward the periphery of the cylinder-bore, While its shaft is supported yand inclosed at one end in a bearing A in the closedend of the cylinder, and the other end passes through a bearing D in a cylinder-cover D, both of which ybearings are lined with anti-friction metal D3, in order to reduce the friction to a minimum. The cover is secured by screws D4 to the body of the faucet and when in po sition permits the wheel E to be freely rotated, though Without unnecessary looseness.4 An inlet B3 opens tangentially into the cylinder vertically above an outlet C2, located to one side of the center, which outlet terminates in a nozzle C3, The inlet-tube B is carried at a tangent over the top of the cylinder, and is provided with a spigot at B to regulate the inlet-opening and terminates in a screw thread B2. The unbroken wall of cylinder bed tween a, the edge of inlet B3, and a', the beginning of outlet C2, is somewhat greater than -the peripheral distance between the wheelpaddles E. The mouth of outlet C2 extends slightly beyond the vertical center line of the cylinder, in order to prevent any portion of the liquid from being carried back. The registering mechanism may be substan- Y tially the same as is used with gas-meters, consisting of a dial-plate II, connected by posts Il2 to a plate I-I and carrying a system of pinions J J andwheels J2 on suitable shafts provided with pointers h, which will indicate the number of pints of liquid drawn up to any desired amount. This mechanism is secured to the cover D of the faucet by means of feet H3 -in such a manner that the squared end F of the projecting paddlewheel shaft engages the center pinion J of the registering mechanism, which is thus operated -by each turn fof the wheelB In order to prevent any interference with the registering medium by unauthorized parties, and yet permit ready access when neces sary, a-cylindrical casing G is secured to the face of the coverD and is provided With a staple G', and a cap-piece K is adapted to fit over the casing G, the slot K permitting the staple K2 on the cap to be brought on line with the staple G', when the cap may be secured by any suitable lock. If more convenient inspection of the pint-dial is desired, an opening K3 may be provided in the cap at the proper place. v
In the fufinehshaped outlet C a strainer C is placed and removed for cleaning, sufficient room being readily left between it and the bore of the cylinder for accumulation of solid matter without interfering with the proper working of the faucet.
In operating the faucet it will be noticed that the liquid-inlet being tangent to the paddles and directly above the outlet .(from which communication is always out off, however, by at least onepaddle) the liquid is re tained in the cylinder the shortest possible time, and its action upon the wheel is thereby made more effective and satisfactory than is otherwise possible. It is evidently not essen tial that the inlettube should be carried over the top of the cylinder, as shown.
It will be observed that I employ an inlet IOO which enters the cylindrical chamber vertically above a broad upwardly-flaring outlet located at the base of said chamber or casing, and that I leave an unbroken wall between said inlet and outlet, which is slightly greater than the peripheral space between any two buckets. It will also be observed that I employ, in combination with the bucket-casing, a permanently-fixed annular collar G, and that in combination with this collar I einploy a removable cap K, which is centrally perforated to expose to view the central indicating-hand 71,. This cap being provided with a slot K and a staple K2, the staple K2 anda staple G being brought in alignment when the cap K is in pla-ce on the collar G, both staples are adapted to receive through them the hasp of a padlock, by means of which the `cap K can be locked to the instrument and improper tampering therewith prevented.
I do not limit my invention to the form of Wheel described, or in other respects to the exact construction shown; but
1. The combination, with the removable cap and center shaft bearing plate D, of the casing of a measuring-faucet, the annular collar G, concentric to the axis of the journalshaft D:E and rigid with said cap-plate, the removable cap K, forming with the said collar a receptacle for registering-gear, and the two bearing-disks II II, rigidly secured to the said removable plate D and provided with the stays II, all adapted to operate substantially in the manner and for the purposes described.
2. The combination, with the removable cap and center shaft bearing plate D, of the casing ol a measuring-faucet, the annular collar G, concentric to the axis of the journalshaft Df and rigid with said cap-plate, theremovable cap K, forming with the said collar a receptacle forregistering-gear, and the two hearin g-disks II II', rigidly secured to the said removable plate D and provided with the stays H3, and a bucketed wheel, all adapted to operate substantially in the manner and for the purposes described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
FLORENZ KEISER. Witnesses:
