MEASURING APPARATUS.
To all whom 'it may concern:
VRNIGH- OLAS andTHoMAs H. KANE, both citizens of the United States, residing at Milwaukee, in the county of consin, and NORMAN CHARLES D. GANG, also citizens of the United States, and residents of Chicago, in
the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certainnew and useful- Improvements in Measuring Apparatus; and
Specification of Letters Ifatent.
Milwaukee and State of \Vis- A; MACRAE and" we do hereby declare-tllat the following a full, clear, and exact description thereof. Our 1nvent1on consists in certain peculiarities of construction and combination of parts hereinafter particularly set forth with reference to the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the claims of this specification, its object being to provide simple,
economical and efiicient 'means for 'rea ily determining the number of deliveries of a predetermined-quantity of liquid or dry material of various kinds from a main recepsame,
' turn of the plug tac'le for same, saidmeans involving a container.of-predetermined capacity in connection with said receptacle, cut-offs controlling the flow of material to and from the container and a' register mechanism in C0111 nection with the delivery cut-off,
Figure 1 of the drawings represents for the most part'a sectional View of a register-- ing measurmgapparatus in accordance with our invention; Fig. 2, a plan View of the and Fig. 3, a diagrain illustrating the operation of the cut-0lfs of said apparatus. Referring. by letter to the drawings, A indicates a s out from a main receptacle coupled to a iliary receptacle Q constituting a container of predetermined capacity provided with an outlet faucet. Cranks b, c, of the faucetaucet in connection with an aux Y plugs D, E, are connected by a link rod B; and the set of the cranks is such that but one of the faucets can be open at a time. Both faucet plugs belng in their normal-position, herein shown, the inlet-faucet of the container will be closed on the first one-eighth E toward open position, and it will requlre another one-eighth turn of the same plug. to open the outlet faucet,
the plug D serving in the meantime to close the inlet faucet, as is wellillustrated in Fig. 3. The'outlet faucet aforesaid has the shell thereof provided with an upper outer lugxd constituting a "step engaging a one quarter float-valve H that seats in a screw said cage and is provided with a stem that- 'Patented an. '11, 1910.
Application filed February 23, 1909. Serial No. 479,538.
circle recess '6 in the crank c to limit the movement of same to a one-quarter turn for the opening and closing movements of the plugs D, E, and said crank is connected by a link f with an actuating lever g of a multiplying register F attached to the front head of the container.
' In union with the upper portion of the container C midway of its ends is solid an? nular portion of a depending cage G for a cap I of extends through an aperture in said cap.
To protect the valve-stem, a vented housing I J is shown in-slip-fiton the cage-cap. Con: necting the upper outer solid annular portion of the valve-cage with the container C, adjacent to itsheads, are outer vent-pipes K, and'to gage said container, to exact predetermined capacity, an inwardly extending screw-plug L is adjusted in one of saidheads, the outer end off-said plug being outhas been effected.
cia-lly'designed for connection with the tank of a kerosene or gasolene tank-wagon to prevent short measure by the peddler to customers, and to tally every time the cut-offs aforesaid are moved from normal position, it being intended to employ a check-system to record the registrations. container tohave a capacity of five gallons the fact of its being full may be determined by an observation of the position of the stem ofthe float-valve, and the delivery faucet bein opened, the inlet-faucet will be closed as a ove described, while incidental to this operation. the register aforesaid is actuated to tally one emptying of said container If less than "the capacity of the container is drawn, the gaged bucket, ordinarily employed to carry the ma terial from wagon to store tank, will s ow the shortage to the customer if inspected, asis ordinarily'the case. On the other hand if the full capacity of the con tainer has been drawn of? into a carrying off and permanently sealed flush with said 2 container after the gaging The, apparatus above specified is espe Assuming the i bucket and the whole-amount is-not turned into the store-tank, it can .be of no benefit to the peddler, becauseat the next filling ofan the bucket there will be a registration 0 emptying of the container even though less thanrits capacity is drawn.
The peculiar venting of the container insures of its filling whenever the cut-oil's of its faucets are left long enough in normal position, whether the tank-wagon be at rest or traveling on level or inclined surface.
By permanently sealing the gage-plug L, as aforesaid, it cannot be tampered with by a distributer to vary capacity of the container without ready discovery, this being an important feature of our invention.
We claim:
1. The combination of a container of predetermined capacity having an inlet and an outlet, this container being adapted for connection with a main receptacle and provided with an upper central cage that has an exposed solid rim and depends in said container a cage-confined valve a vented valve-seat cap covering the'cage, vent-pipes connecting the exposed rim of said cage with the container adjacent to heads of .the latter, means governing the inlet and the outlet of said container, whereby when one .is opened the other is closed, and means 00- operating with the means aforesaid for registering each opening of the outlet.
2. The combination of a container of predetermined capacity having an-inlet and an outlet, this container being adapted for connection with a main receptacle and provided with an upper central cage that has an exposed solid rim and depends in said container, a cage-confined valve a vented valveseat cap covering the cage, vent-pipes ,con-
necting the exposed rim of said cage with a the container adjacent to heads of the latter, means governing the inlet and the outlet of said container, and means cooperating with the means aforesaid for registering each opening of said out-let.
