LIQUID-MEASURING DEVICE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 460,423, dated September 29, 1891.
Application filed April 2, 1891.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE M. BELLASIS, of Lakefield, in the Province of Ontario, Dominion of Canada, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Liquid-Measuring Devices, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of the invention is to provide a newand improved liquid-measuring device, which is simple and durable in construction, and serves to automatically close the faucet when the proper quantity of the liquid has passed through the said faucet and into the vessel, so as to prevent overflow and loss of the liquid, at the same time measuring the desired amount of the liquid passed into the vessel.
The invention consists of certain parts and details and combinations of the same, as will be fully described hereinafter, and then poin ted out in the claims.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the improvement with parts in section, and Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same.
The improved liquid-measuring device is provided with a suitably-constructed base A, 011 which is erected a post B, carrying a pivot O, on which is hung the scale-beam D, provided near one end with a suitable graduation, and on which is hung a poise E. The other end of the scale-beam D is pivotally connected with a rod F, projecting from the under side of a pan G, adapted to support the vessel II, into which the liquid is to be measured.
For conveniently filling the vessel II with the liquid a funnel I is held in the neck of the vessel, the said, funnel being preferably provided with a float I for closing the lower end of the funnel when the liquid rises to the desired height in the vessel 11. Into the funnel I is adapted to discharge the faucet J, held in the tank, barrel, or other receptacle K, containing the liquid to be filled into the vessel H. The valve J of the faucet J is connected with an arm L, pivotally connected at its ends with parallel links N and N, pivoted to a lever O, fulcrumed on a bracket B, pro- Serial No. 387,348. No model.)
jecting from the upper end of the post B. The pivot of the lever 0, connecting the latter with the link N, is connected with one end of a rope or cord P, passing over a pulley Q, journaled in the upper end of the post B.
The downwardly-extending end of the rope or cord P is connected with a weight R, fitted to slide loosely on the post B, and is adapted to be supported by the upper end of an arm D, projecting upward at a right angle from the scale-beam D and adapted to slide into a recess or slot in the post B, so as to permit the weight R to slide down on the post 13, as hereinafter more fully described.
The rod F, near its lower end, is pivotally connected with one end of a lever S, pivoted centrally at S on the post B below the pivot O. The other end of the lever S is pivotally connected with a link T, pivoted to the beam D at a point equidistant to that part of the lever S extending from its pivot S to its pi"- otal connection with the rod F.
On the lever S is formed a scale, and 011 this part of the lever is hung a poise U, serving to counterbalance the weight of the empty vessel II.
The device is used as follows: The vessel 11, into which the liquid is to be measured, is placed on the pan G, and then the poise U is adjusted on the lever S, so that the scalebeam D stands horizontally. The poise E is then hung on the beam D at a point indicated on the graduation of the beam and rep resenting the amount of liquid to be measured into the vessel II. The weight of the poise E causes the outer end of the beam I) to swing downward so that the vessel H rises, the downward movement of the beam being limited by the lower end of the link T, rest-- ing on top of the base A. (See Fig. 1.) When the beam D is in this position, the arm or tongue D extends with its upper end out of the slot or recess of the post B, so as to support the weight R. The operator now opens the valve J of the faucet J, so that the liquid from the barrel, tank, or other receptacle K flows through the said faucet into the funnel I and from the latter-into the vessel II. Then the desired quantity of liquid has passed into the vessel l'I, then the scale-beam D is counterbalanced and moves into a horizontal po sition. By this movement the arm or tongue D moves into the slot or recess in the post B, thus permitting the weight R to slide downward on the post B. The downward movement of the weight R exerts a pull on the rope or cord T, so that the lever O is caused to swing and by the links N N and the arm L turns the valve J of the faucet J, so as to close the latter. Thus the vessel H contains an amount of liquid to which the poise E has been set on the beam D. Thus it will be seen that no attention whatever is required from the operator to turn off the faucet J after the desired amount of liquid has been measured into the vessel H, as the movement of the scale-beam D causes an automatic closing of the valve of the faucet J. Overflow and waste of the liquid are thus prevented.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. In a liquid-measuring device, the combination, with a post, of a scale-beam pivoted on the said post and provided with an upwardly-extending arm or tongue, the said scale-bea1n being adapted to support a vessel, a weight fittedto slide on the said post and adapted to be supported on the arm or tongue of the scale-beam, and a device, substantially as described, connected with the said Weight and with the faucet discharging into the said vessel, so that when the latter is filled with the proper amount of liquid the scale-beam is actuated and its arm or tongue is disconnected from the said weight, so that the latter actuates the said device to turn off the faucet, as set forth.
2. In a liquid-measuring device, the combination, with a post, of a scale-beam pivoted on the said post and provided with a tongue or arm, a pan held on the said scale-beam and adapted to support a vessel, a weight fitted to slide on the said post and adapted to be supported on the said tongue or arm of the said scale-beam, a cord or rope connected with the said weight, a lever connected with the said rope or cord,parallel links connected with the said lever, and an arm connected with the said links and with the valve of the faucet discharging into the said vessel, substantially as shown and described.
3. In a liquid-measuring device, the combination, with a post, of a scale-beam pivoted on the said post and provided with a tongue or arm, a pan held on the said scale-beam and adapted to support a vessel, a weight fitted to slide on the said post and adapted to be supported on the said tongue or arm of the said scale-beam, a cord or rope connected with the said weight, a lever connected with the said rope or cord, parallellinks connected with the said lever, an arm connected with the said links and with the valve of the faucet discharging into the said vessel, and a graduated lever and a poise hung thereon and connected with the said scale-beam, substantially as shown and described.
