W TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Be it known that we, DWIGHT S. Snarronn and Gnonen ELSEY, of Morrison, in the county of Whitesides,
and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful improved Apparatus for Measuring Molasses and other liquids by weight, which we calla treaclometer; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation, and
Figure 2 is a vertical longitudinal section of the spigot.
The same letters indicate identical parts in all the figures.
Our improvements relate to the construction of a revolving barrel in a faucet so connected with the beam of a scale that when a given weight of .any liquid has been drawn from the cash into a vessel standing on the pla'tfornrof the scale, the faucet shall be closed automatically, thereby cutting off the flow of the liquid by means of devices which we explain as i'ollowsw\a A represents the head of a cask into which a faucet, B, is inserted; this faucet is constructed with external and internal barrels B and B The external barrel is attached to the cask, and the internal barrel revolves within it. They have slots, shown at B", which, when in conjunction, permit the outward flow of the liquid from the cash. When the revolving barrel B is turned so as to bring its solid parts opposite the slot in B, the faucet is closed so that the liquid cannot escape. The plate C, fastened by screws to the flange G3 on the end of the stationary barrel 13, serves as a bearing for the projecting journal of the revolving barrel. On the end of the revolving barrel B is a flange, D, with a notch cut thereon to receive the point of the tripping-lever F when the faucet is open. This lever has the pivot, forming its fulcrum, attached to the flange G E is a lever, with a weight heavy enough to turn the revolving barrel B, and thereby close the faucet. It is rigidly attached to the revolving barrel, and is used to open and close the same. When the lever E is raised, it opens the faucet, which remains open so long as the lever remains up. It is sustained, when raised, by the point of the lever F bearing against the notch in the plate or flan e D. The long end of the lever F is bent at E, at right angles, the end passing under the short arm of the scale-beam G. G is an ordinary graduated scale-beam, suspended by its pivots, resting on the flanges G and G attached to the stationary barrel B. H is the platform on which the vessel is to be placed to be filled from the cash, the poise G being placed at the notch which represents the weight desired. The lever E is raised, and the liquid will begin to flow from the faucet, which is kept open by thelever I and-notched flange When a sufficient quantity of the liquid has passed into the vessel to raise the poise, the short arm of the beam G striking against the bent end of the lever, will raise the other end from the notch in the flange, and set free the barrel 13 which will be instantly made to revolve by the weight on the lever E, thereby closing the faucet.
i What we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The fixed and revolving barrels B and B of a faucet, when the latter is so connected with the beam of a scale that when the beam rises it shall disengage a catch, and the faucet be caused to close automatically by mechanism, substantially as set forth. i
2. The combination of the beam G, platform H, lever F, flange D, lever E, and faucet B, with barrels l3 and B, substantially as described.
3. A scale-beam, Or, and faucet B, so arranged that the pivots of the beam shall have their bearings 0n flanges formed on the faucet, and the beam and faucet shall be so connected by intermediate mechanism, that the rising of the beam shall cause the faucet to be closed automatically, all substantially as described.
In testimony whereof we have signed our names to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

JOHN G. BEATIE, JOTHAM McKEE.
