It then passes downwardly the watenehaanben stantially full of Water,m1d in operation would always be full of weiter and. eil. Since the oil-supply is at one side of thishorizontallydisposed ehagiber and the oil-diselnirge pipe at the other side, the oil must necessarily pass through such chamber horizontally, und this whether the oil be supposed te pass liori- Zon tc 115T through the bodyy of Water or through The oil passes into the Water in small quantities, but 1andere eertain pressure, which will result in spreading Snell oil as it moves in a thin sheet npon the surface of the Water. I have, however, eenteniplated floating the oil in a thin surface layer or stream over the surface of waiter in :in open `or partially filled vessel. The storage yeliznnber or tank is entirely distinct from thefilteringn apparatus, and -Llxe yoil does not,y

passinto the same until thoroughly filtered. The oil, before being admitted to the waterehatnber, shoild be finely divided and not in large globules.

'Having thus described my invention winx-t l claim, ancl'd'sire to secure by Letters Patent, is as follows:

l. In an 0il-f1lter,tl1e combination of n wa- 35 ter-chamber ncrnmlly nearly full et' water with nn oil-supply tank above and an olstor ngl'e tank belen', said tanks eonneetng` with such elxinnber on opposite sides thereof, so that. the oil in its passage' to the storage-1 zink is passed in :L thin lm orA Current over the waiter, the said reeeivingank opening' into the water-chamber and n filteringl or straining appnrntns plated in the elmnnel of the foil, so as 15o strain the sinne er pnrtinlly llter it before it is passed from The reeeivine-trink into the wnteikelnun'ber.

i5. ln an oil-filter, the Combination el' n wnter-elnnnber, :1n oil inletn-nd discharge pipe opening' into sneli n'nter-ellmnber sind on the opposiie sides thereof and so arranged that the oil passes'horizontallythrough the miterelmnlber, and said inlet-pipenrrzmged so as to deliver the oil in n finel \'din"led stale.

4. `ln en oil-lilter, the eonxbini'on ol' :L wa.- ler-elmmber, nn oil-reservoir below the same, a pipe lending from die top ol the waterel'isnnber down. to thevreservoir, and an oilv supply pipe entering tile water-chamber nem' the top thereof. f

5. In nn eilfilter,tl1e ecnnbiimtion of :rwater-elnimber, an oil-resorvoir below the same, a pipe leading Afrom the top of the weten chamber down to the reservoir, and. :in oilsupply pipe enteriinl` the water-chamber near the top thereof' and diselnn'g'ingm'. the opposite extremitv of the veter-ehamber.
