2b a/ZZ whom it may con/cern.:

Be it known thatl, JAMES Lut/'IAN WADE, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at 2S Westlensington Gardens,

' London, England, have invented certain new of disinfectors containing a solid disinfectant more or less soluble in water and which each time a tank or cistern is filled and emptied delivers a small quantity of the dissolved disinfectant to the water, and has for its object to provide a disinfectcr that when charged ready for use is applied by simply placing it inside the tank or cistern, in which it should be more or less completely immersed when the tank or cistern is full. This disinfector can thus also be easily removed for recharging or other purposes. The disinfector is applicable more particularly to flushing cisterns, water-carts, and the like.

This invention consists in a reservoir for containing the solid disinfectant, an air-tube outside the reservoir and whose upper end communicates with the top of the vessel and whose other end terminates above the bottom of the reservoir, but external to the reservoir, and a small water-inlet and disinfectantfemission tube extending a; short distance inward from the top of the vessel.

In the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings, Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of a disinfector constructed according to this invention, and Fig. 2 shows a slight modification.. p v

The reservoir c, is provided with an air or n-shaped pipe' having its shorter leg b con- As shown, there is a flange c on the lower end of the leg b to retain the hollow screw d on the leg. This screw d screws into a nut e, soldered on the reservoir a and having an internal flange The flange c on the leg b is thus forced against the internal angef and makes a tight .g being serai No. 687,319. (no man.)

an intermediate leather or other washer preferably provided. By this arrangement the pipe can readily be removed for the insertion of fresh disinfectant through the nut e, The longer leg h of the air or n pipe extends downward outside the reservoir to nearly the bottom. The reservoir a is also provided with a small pipe t', extending about one inch downward from the top.

The disinfectant is inserted into the reservoir d, as above described, through the nut c and the air or n pipe firmly secured in position. The whole apparatusl is then placed in the lushing-cistern and becomes filled with water up to the level of the lower end of the small pipe t', as shown, and the water in the apparatus becomes saturated with the disinfectant.

During the flushing operation as the flushing-cistern empties the water contained in the joint,

`lower part of the leg h falls and thus sucks water into the reservoir a through the pipe 'L'.

As the'cistern is again lled the water rises up the leg h andforees out through the small tube 'i all'the water above the lower end of 'the small pipe that was drawn in. at the previous flushing operation into the flushingcistermand as this water'is saturated with the disinfectant the charge of ushing-water is rendered disinfectant for the next ilushing operation.

The tube t h may be completely immersed or it may extend out of the water of the cistern.

In the modification shown in Fig. 2 the longer leg h is made adjustable, so that the quantity of disinfectant delivered to the charge of water can be varied. It will readily'be seen that the reservoir o. can be made of any shape to suit the tank or cistern to which itis applied. Y

The upper end of the tube 'L' may terminate anywhere below the level of thewater in the lushing-cistern whenfull and its lower'end must be below the termination of the lower end of the leg b. The other legh must terminate below the lower end of the tube 'L'.
