Title: Improvements in Automatic Syphons.
Inventor: ADAMS SAMUEL HENRY
Filed: 1899-03-21
Granted: 1899-08-26
Abstract: 6082. Adams, S. H. March 21. Filter beds, supplyi n and discharging liquid in.-Relates to automatic siphons for supplying and d i scharging filter beds. In the tank J, from which discharge takes place, are fitted two similar siphons 1, 2 which act alternately. Each is provided with a deep trap A, and a small central pipe Q having a trapped end S. The siphon last in action, say 1, is left with its traps A, S full, the traps of the other 2 being only partly full. Thus, on compression of the air locked in the domes K as the liquid again rises in the tank J, the partly-full trap S of the siphon 2 is forced, and this siphon therefore started. As the liquid now falls, a partial vacuum is formed in the dome of this siphon 1, thus drawing air through the pipe Q and partially emptying the trap S, ready to be forced when the liquid next rises in the tank J. The tubes Q are preferably enlarged at X. In a modification, the pipes Q are dispensed with, the action, however, being similar. On compression of the air in the domes, the partly-full trap A of the siphon is forced, and this siphon thus put in action, the full trap of the other siphon being at the same time partly emptied, so that it may be forced when the liquid again rises in the tank. In another modification, Fig. 2, the main traps A have connected to them small traps P of less depth, by the forcing of which the siphons are discharged
