I JOHN HOLROYD of the firm of John Holroyd and Company Limited of Tomlinson
Street Hulme Manchester in the County of Lancaster Engineers and Machinists, do
hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows:-
My said Invention relates to apparatus for supplying measured quantities of liquids
In the specification of
such as beer, wines, spirits, oil and similar liquids of value.
an application for which I have obtained provisional protection No. 16452 and dated
the 30th day of November 1887 I described an apparatus for similar purposes in
which the liquid was delivered by a displacing body, which was actuated by a coin
receiver of a particular construction and an arrangement of clockwork. Under my
present invention I employ the same or a similar coin receiver and clockwork arrange-
ment, but instead of the liquid displacer use means for positively transferring a
measured quantity of liquid from the cistern or receptacle to a spout or con:luit
leading to the delivery tap. The said means for positive delivery consists under one
form, of a bucket wheel or wheels carried in a spindle or in suitable bearings and
having buckets, pockets or chambers, of a fixed capacity the said wheel being partly
immersed in the liquid in the cistern and rotated by the clockwork when set in motion
by the coin receiver. The liquid in the cistern is maintained at a constant level by
means of a ball cock which connects it to a cask or other liquid receptacle. By setting
the ball cock any desired constant level could be secured and a corresponding increase
or diminution of the amount of liquid to be delivered would thereby be effected
irrespective of the capacity of the chambers or pockets in the wheel. Each of the
pockets or chambers in the wheel has a delivery nozzle through which the liquid lifted
by the pocket or chamber is delivered to a hopper funnel or conduit which leads to the
delivery tap. The wheel may contain three or any greater or less number of such
pockets or chambers. Instead of the wheel with closed sides and chambers as described
I might use a modification thereof consisting of a revolving frame carrying suspended

contents into a delivery hopper or conduit as aforesaid. Another means of positively
delivering measured quantities of liquid consists of an inclined cylinder with contained
spiral blade or partition the said cylinder being rotated by the clockwork as in the
previous cases. The liquid is thereby raised above the level of the liquid in the cistern
and a measured quantity is delivered at each revolution of the cylinder.
The mechanism hereinbefore referred to may be connected by a train of gearing or
by other suitable means to a dial or series of dials provided with pointers and marked
with numerals or it might be a registering tape by means of which the consumption
can be ascertained at a glance. The said dials or indicators are secured in such a
manner that no unauthorized person shall be able to tamper with them.

I JOHN HOLROYD of the firm of John Holroyd and Company Limited of Tomlinson
Street, Hulme, Manchester, in the County of Lancaster Engineers and Machinists do
hereby declare the nature of this Invention and in what manner the same
is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement and accompanying drawings :-

an application for which I have obtained provisional protection No. 16452 and dated
the 30th day of November 1887 I described an apparatus for similar purposes in
which the liquid was delivered by a displacing body which was actuated by a coin
receiver of a particular construction and an arrangement of clockwork. Under my
present invention I employ the same or a similar coin receiver and clockwork
arrangement, but instead of the liquid displacer I use means for positively trans-
ferring a measured quantity of liquid from the cistern or receptacle to a spout or
conduit leading to the delivery tap. The said means for positive delivery consists
under one form of a bucket wheel or wheels carried on a spindle or in suitable
bearings and having buckets, pockets or chambers, of a fixed capacity the said wheel
being partly immersed in the liquid in the cistern and rotated by the clockwork
when set in motion by the coin receiver. The liquid in the cistern is maintained

And in order that my said invention may be properly understood I will now proceed

page_text: more particularly to describe the same, reference being had to the annexed three sheets
of drawings:-
Fig. 3
Fig. 1 (sheet 1) of the said drawings is a front view of the apparatus, the sur-
rounding case being shown in section. Fig. 2 is a plan view of Fig. 1.
(sheet 2) is an end view showing the coin shute and receiver. Fig. 4 is an end view
of the chambered drum for lifting and delivering the liquid. Fig. 5 is a cross section
of the said drum. Figs. 6 and 7 are detail views of parts of the mechanism for
releasing and arresting the movements of the apparatus.
These
In the said Figs. the apparatus is shown enclosed in an outer casing or box A of
wood or other suitable material but it may be mounted or arranged in any suitable
manner. The cistern B is maintained full of liquid at the desired level by being
placed in communication with a cask or receptacle containing beer, wine, spirits or
other liquid. The communication is effected by the inlet Cand is governed by an
ordinary arrangement of float D and stop cock E as is well understood. A bucket
wheel or drum F is mounted to revolve in bearings in the cistern B, the said bucket
wheel being partly immersed in the liquid as shown in Figs. 4 and 5. The sectional
view Fig. 5 shows clearly the form of the buckets or chambers in the wheel.
are formed of curved partitions and three chambers appear in the said Fig., although
it is to be understood that any greater or less number of such chambers might be
formed in the wheel. The wheel is closed at each end, but at the delivery end,
outlets G, H, I are provided and are so situated relatively to the chambers as to allow
the liquid lifted by the chambers to run off through the outlets into a pocket J which
conducts the liquid so delivered to an outlet K through which it runs into a glass or
vessel held to receive it. The drum or wheel F is so arranged as to make one third
of a revolution for each actuation of the coin receiving apparatus, thus delivering the
contents of one of the chambers in exchange for the coin or coins inserted into the
apparatus.
The means for imparting the requisite motion to the drum are as follows:
A coin shute L projects from the apparatus at a suitable angle and is in line with a
coin receiver M, which is pivotted on a spindle N and maintained in its proper relative
position to the coin shute L by means of a counterbalance weight 0. The requisite
coin or coins is or are slipped down the shute into the receiver M and as the coin or
coins is or are heavier than the counterbalance weight O the coin receiver turns on its
pivot N into the position shown in dotted lines and allows the coin or coins to drop
into the locked drawer or till shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings. The apparatus
illustrated is intended to be operated on receipt of two coins say for example twopence.
On the inner end of the coin receiver pivot spindle N is a small crank disc P connected
by a link Qand lever R to a spindle S. At the other end that is to say at the end
nearest to the cistern this spindle S is recessed or flattened as shown at Fig. 7 in such
a manner that when turned to a certain extent the tooth T on the disc U can pass the
spindle S and allow the disc U to rotate, the spindle V of the disc U being actuated
by the clockwork W in the construction and arrangement of which latter there is
nothing novel. This partial rotation of the spindle S is effected by the movement
of the coin receiver M in swinging into the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3, the
spindle S being moved by the crank disc P link Q and lever R. The immediate
return of the coin receiver M to its normal position returns the spindle S to the
position shown in Fig. 7 so that when the disc U has performed one revolution the
tooth T strikes against the spindle S and is arrested thereby. To reduce this complete
rotation of the disc U to one third of a revolution in the case of the bucket wheel F,
a pinion X on the spindle V gears with a spur wheel a on the axis of the bucket
wheel, the wheels X and a being in the proportion of one to three so that the
bucket wheel performs one third of a revolution only at each movement of the coin
receiver.
Of course it will be evident that in cases where the bucket wheel is divided into a
less or into a greater number of chambers a corresponding alteration in the proportions
of the wheels X and a will become necessary.

page_text: The spindle S carries a curved stop & the nose of which comes opposite to a pin
projecting from the disc U so that when in a state of rest the disc U is held positively
between the spindle S and the stop b. When the apparatus is in use, the necessary
coins are inserted in the shute L by which they are conducted to the coin receiver M..
On the movement of the coin receiver, the disc U is released and the bucket performs
que third of a revolution raising and delivering tho required quantity of liquid from
the cistern B. When the level of liquid in the cistern has become lowered the float
falls and opens the valve E so as to restore the deficiency. Instead of the chambered
or bucket wheel described and shown I might use a series of buckets suspended in a
revolving frame the buckets being tipped into a receiver or hopper when they reach
the top. Figs. 8 and 9 show an archimedian lifter which consists of a hollow
cylinder d containing a spiral blade e and set at an angle in bearings in a cistern/con-
taining liquid which is maintained at a constant level by a ball cock or other suitable
means. The cylinder d is open at the top and at the bottom, the opening at the lower
end allowing the liquid to enter the cylinder and the opening at the upper end
permitting its delivery into a hopper . The cylinder is rotated automatically by
means similar to those described with relation to sheets 1 and 2; for example a wheel
actuated by clockwork might gear with the bevel wheel on the axis of the cylinder and
rotate the cylinder once or twice or as often as desired so as to supply a fixed quantity
of liquid. A pipe i leading from the hopper conducts the liquid to the consumer or
to a tap under his control. Figs. 10 and 11 show a bucket or scoop j attached to a
hollow axis which can be vibrated by a link and lever or by other means so as to
cause the scoop to dip into the liquid in the cistern m as shown in Fig. 10 or be
raised into the position shown in Fig. 11. The scoop is filled by being dipped into
the liquid and on being raised delivers its contents into the hollow axis k through an
aperturen formed in the axis and clearly seen at Fig. 11. The link and lever can be
operated so as to vibrate the axis by means of a crank disc or other means operated
by the clock-work arrangements shown in sheets 1 and 2, the actuating clock-work
being set in motion both in the case of the archimedian lifter and of the vibrating
bucket or scoop by the hereinbefore described counterbalanced coin receiver. I may
in conjunction with the hereinbefore described arrangements of liquid delivery
apparatus employ means for indicating and registering the quantity of liquid with-
drawn. This indicating or registering apparatus is not however per se a part of the
present invention and I lay no claim thereto except as regards the combination of such
an indicating or registering arrangement with the liquid delivery apparatus shown
and described. Any suitable and ordinary indicating or registering arrangement
might be used. For example a registering counter to indicate the number of
revolutions made by the bucket wheel or drum F or archimedian lifter d or the number
of vibrations made by the hollow axis k, or otherwise a liquid meter might be fixed
in connection with the cistern or with the supply to the cistern and so indicate the
liquid supply directly.
As the application of such a counting, indicating or registering arrangement is not
a matter of invention but of ordinary knowledge I have not thought it desirable or
necessary to show or describe in detail the application of the said means. I am aware
of Everitt's Specification No. 10,2327 and I wish it to be understood that I do not
claim anything described & claimed therein.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
1 claim is :-

My said Invention relates to apparatus for supplying measured quantities of liquids
such as beer, wines, spirits, oil and similar liquids of value. In the specification of
an application for which I have obtained provisional protection No. 16452 and dated
the 30th day of November 1887 I described an apparatus for similar purposes in
which the liquid was delivered by a displacing body which was actuated by a coin
receiver of a particular construction and an arrangement of clockwork.
Under my
present invention I employ the same or a similar coin receiver and clockwork
arrangement, but instead of the liquid displacer I use means for positively trans-
ferring a measured quantity of liquid from the cistern or receptacle to a spout or
conduit leading to the delivery tap.. The said means for positive delivery consists
under one form of a bucket wheel or wheels carried on a spindle or in suitable
