Granted: 1907-08-23
Abstract: 18,908. Yanacopoulo, G. Aug. 24, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Bucket pumps; hand pumps; pump stroke, varying.-The vessel containing the liquid contains also a piston which may be displaced by hand through a distance determined by a series of adjustable stops for the purpose of discharging a measured quantity of the liquid. The spring-controlled piston-rod F is pressed down until the button N upon its extremity strikes whichever of the stops E, E<1>, E<2> is turned up; at the initial motion, the rod moves through the piston I and covers the apertures H therein by means of the flange G. Piston and rod then move on down together, and the measured quantity is discharged through the pipe K, but, when the spring returns the rod, the flange lifts, and liquid can flow downwards through the piston as it rises. Two modifications are described ; in one, the piston-rod is hollow and forms the discharge pipe; in the other, the piston and its rod are rigidly connected, but the measuring-chamber in which it moves is of less diameter than the vessel into which it projects upwards, and is perforated so that, when the spring returns the piston to its highest point, liquid can flow into the measuring-chamber.
