December 24, 1872i To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I' PEnsoN Noms, of Lowell, in the county otz Middlesex and State ot Massachusetts, have invented an Improved clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawing making part ot' this specification. 'i

Figure l represents a vetical central section of the invention as applied to a can or jar, having a continuous return or overlow tube, b, extending from the measuring-receptacle A into the can. Fig. 2 is a vertical central section of the inxention as applied to a cask or barrel, and having thareturn or overflow tu be I termin a tipg in the sink D. In this figure a tubeF, attached tlthe sink, extendssome;v

Fig. 4 is an enlarged central vertical section of part of an oil can or jar and the sink 1), showing the manner of applying and using the latter, the continuous returntube b, and the pump when the returntules I and F are not used. In this figure, the oil poured -or falling into the sink D escapes into the cn below between the bridgework N, which holds the tube bin place. Figs.. and 6 are a central section and `top end view of the tube F, showing the lockinglips i used as in applying it as in Fig. 2. Fig. 7 is a side elevation of the measuringlreceptacle A and its 'returmtube I, which serves to sup' port it and to conduct the overowfback to the sink D. Fig. 8 is a bottom-end view of the bung-hole bushing L.

My invention relates to a new and improved and measuring oils.- Itis designed for use in places where facility, neatuess, and econo@ in keeping and dealing out oils or othcrhquids are objects of importance.

a is the tube of a pump projecting into the tankfroln above. Extending downward a suitable distanceinto the tankfrom within the meas-V ming-receptacle is a conducting or return tube, b,aspace, d, being left between it and the pump, closed at the top and open at the bottom, small stays c holding the tube d in place. At the top of the tube b is ameasuringreeeptaele, A,

-made tight at the bottom, and with its top ris ing high enough to be adjusted to its cover f. At the bottom and side' of receptacle A is placed a drafttube, k, through which the liquid is drawn olf. A .valveJ m, shuts the hole. 2 at the top of tube b', and isllfted bya rod,A4

attire! turning the handle of the cum B.. Fig.10 shows; a measuring-receptacle divided lint-o three compartments, Af., each of which is a measure ot' dierent capacity fromthe others. The nose p of the pump or the receptacle A is made to rotate, so as to pump the oil into either compartment A at pleasure. The eapacity of eachcompartment A' is graduatedy by the height of the intervening partition, 'allowing the oil to tlow into adjacent compartments when the one in use isfull.

into the sink D, and be returned to the storing-tank beneath, through thel return-tube F. The measuring-receptacle A, shown in Figs. l and 9, has no compartments.. Here thopil is 'pumpedrnp as before, but the quantitfinvthe receptacle A is indicated by points' ri'anged toeqver partially or Wholly@ "s, G,`. let in the side Theoints have'rletters and figures -se't against them to manufaetories, machineshops, stores, and all ming-receptacle, the proper gate 3 is raised,

All surplus. oil discharged from any cmpartment will fall BESTAVAILABLE and the surplus oil ilows back to the taak bclow through the return-tube b. The remainder in the receptacle A, being,r a given quantityas a quart, pint, or gallonis then drawn olf through thc outlet h. Tubular indicators li,

are shown in Figs. 2 and 9, of glass. At the lower end ot' the indicators a valve, m, is arranged witlan outlet, It, like those before described, and operated in like manner. In a.

compartment measuring-reccptacle, A, the

surplus liquid instead ol' flowing into adjacent compartmentfnmay be made to flow into the return-tubes-I F by means of notches at top of tube b, as at 6 in Fig. 2. The tube F is either made separate, as shown in Figs. 2, 5, 6, and 12, secured to the sinks D by lockinghps i, or is made in one with the sink D, as

in Fig. 3. This tube projects downward into the cask or tank, as shown, to some distance,

and serves not only to convey the oil falling into the sink l), but lalso to prevent the read y escape oi' oil from or slopping over of the cask or tank it' rolled about or overturned by accident. The tube F and sink l) are applied g to a jar, can, cask, or barrel, by screwing or i driving a bushing, L, into the mouth or bung. hole, and inserting the tube F through the bushing. In Fig. 2 a central return-tube, I, Vis shown, betweerrthe tube F and the 'measuring-receptacle. This tube passes through a. platform-grating, C, in. the top ofthe sink, and is secured at its lower end to the lower part ot' the sink by. a collar or ring, c, and bridge-work n. Where it passes through the grating the tube I is supported by a collar, 9, anda flange, l0. The measuring-receptacle A rests and is supported on top ot' the tube I, and is held i'n position by the circular angc o depending from the bottom ot' the tank.

The pump bein g in place, thepumplred passing through the cover j', and the other parts arranged as described, the apparatus is ready` for oprration. Zigzag pipes M are attached to the tube h, to assist inconveying the contents ol the `jar, tank, or.cask, to others. U is a platlbrm-grating in the sink D at a convcnient point, having itsslats ot' woven wire or with their upper and lower edges sharp or angular, as in Figs. 4 or 11, that any oil or liquid falling ou them may flow immediately down through the sink to the storiugtank, an'd not corrode or gum up the grating, or be liable to explosion, as is the case when any perforated ita-t surface is used.. This platformgrating may be used to support cans or other receptacles, as shown atl in Fi g. 1.

In pumping oili'rom a. flat-bottom jar, to pro- Yvide for more fully emptying,r the jar, l t'orm a. unkcn'stcp, S, bclw the bottom lt, and in-4 rt the lower end ol the pump, covered with a strainer, 1.', of common construction, into the step. -Two or moreI outlets may be used "f at the sametime upon the measuring-recel` tacleu, il' desired. A cap, T, is ittcd over x the apparatus, and is fastened to the sink by 4nation with the COPY a staple, n', hasp c-, and padlock \r',iides1rd. The cap serves lo keep out dust or dirt, prevents evaporation, andrenders the apparatus conllmrativcly sai'e from lire.

With the itat-glass indicators (l I generally lapply a rcilcctor,1/, within the tank a ,short distance back ofthe glass, so that the, top or surl'ace line of the liquid may be readily seen. The sliding-gates g and rods 5 may be dispensed with, if desired, when the tubular glass indicator, with valve-operating rod and outlet-tube h is used.

A pump-tube, with receptacle A, and other apparatus described, may be ot' suicient length to extend from the eask or liquid-holder iu the cellar to the first or second door above, where the oil may be measured and put up, as described. The oil may thus be kept in the cellar, where the low temperature prevents waste by evaporation, while at the same time room is economized in the upper apartment, and it is kept comparatively clean and free from offensive odors.

ly removing the pump-measuring apparatus and loose platform-grating from the sink l) it and the tube F may be used as a tunnel to the extent of its capacity.

l am aware that valves have been raised andoperated, as described, and that a pump having a nose or outlet which could be turned to discharge liquid on either side has been used. l am also aware that a standing funntain formed o f the pump top, provided with a. measuring-gage and stop-cock in the nose et' the pump, are old and welt-known, as also the 'strainer at the bottom ot' the pump; and I make no claim to either ot' thesedcvices alone, or in combination with the pump or the pump and sink.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. A pumping and measuring apparatus, consisting ofthe pump, return-taire,` sink with its discharge-passages, and measuring-receptacle A, all constructed, combined, and arranged in relation to each other and to the storing-tank, in the manner and for the purpose specified.

2. The return-tube b, combined with the tank A, the latter provided with outlets and dischargevalves m, iu the manner and for the purpose specified.

3.- The` combination of the return-tube F, projecting into the barrel, with the storingtank or barrel, the sink 1)"and pump, all arranged and. operated substantially as described.

4. The lileasuriilg-rcceptaclc A, in combi pump-tube aand return-tube' b, having notches or openings into the compartments A, as described, and for the manner specilicd. v
