Abstract: 7659. Paterson, W. March 27. Filter - beds; filters, cleansing; filters, air supply for.-Filter-beds a having transverse distributing-troughs d, connected at one end to a supply-trough c and at the other to a waste outlet e, are supplied with air for agitating in cleansing by pipes i connected to a receiver into which the air is forced by a compressor actuated by a turbine or motor driven by the water supplied to the filters. The pipes i may pass through the bed downwards, as shown, or enter from the side or from below. If they enter from below, they are connected to the main pipes of the collecting system above the connexions of the branch pipes to t h e main pipes. The air may be filtered and sterilized on its way from the compressor to the receiver, and compressed air from the receiver may be used to force a gaseous or liquid sterilizing - agent from a measuring - receiver into the low-pressure air or the wash-water. The waste trough may be provided with a removable cover to prevent wastage of the filtering-medium during agitation. A pump may be used to force wash-water in a reverse direction through the filter, or filtered water collected in a closed reservoir may be forced back by the compressed air. The filters may be provided with spray-pipes which rock on brackets so that a spray may be directed across the surface of the medium to discharge scum into the waste troughs.

Equipments.-A knapsack-carrier of the type in which the weight is transferred to a sheet of fabric g, Figs. 1 and 2, of any kind, or even of cane, lying against the back of the wearer, has the main rectangularly-shaped carrying-frame a spaced from the fabric to leave room for ventilation. This is effected by hooks h on tubular stiffeners g<3> in side extensions g<2> of the fabrics, the hooks engaging U-shaped members c with spring convolutions c<2>. The ends of the members c screw into nuts b, which themselves screw into the open ends of a tubular frame a<2>. The frame a<2> slides upon the main frame, its position on it being determined by a nut on a screwed rod d<2> bearing on the frame a<2>. The rod d<2> is screwed at its upper end into a rod d<1> integral with the main frame. By adjusting the nut e, a position can be found for the frame a<2> which gives a satisfactory resilient support for the knapsack, clear of the back of the wearer. The top of the main frame a may be bent over as shown in Fig. 3, to allow of increasing the space between the frame and fabric g. The fabric is attached by hooks f to the top of the frame, which is in turn supported bv shoulder straps j passing through holes k<2>, Fig. 9, in the fabric. The straps are connected in front to other straps k, which are fastened to a hook i soldered to the member c. The knapsack is attached to perforated metal plates m, which are bent round so as to be sprung on to the upper member of the frame. The lower front ends of the straps support a belt. In the form shown, adjustability as to width is obtained by screwing in or out the nuts b; but in a modification, sloping rows of holes n, Fig. 9, are made at each side of the fabric, and these are entered by prongs on a buckle, which again hooks on to the U-shaped member c. An additional frame p may be attached to the main frame and supported by tubular struts p<1>. The frame and fabric, when not on the wearer, may be used as a pillow or a rifle rest.
