PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Apparatus for Filling Bottles and the like.
I, ALBERT JACOBSEN of 26 Neuerwall Hamburg in the Empire of Germany
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
-
The object of this invention is to provide apparatus by which a large number of
bottles, previously properly placed, may be simultaneously filled with certain
measured quantities of liquid.
The nature of the improved apparatus is illustrated in the accompanying drawing
in which
-
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section and Fig. 2 a plan of an apparatus as arranged
for filling twelve bottles simultaneously with equal amounts of liquid.
Fig. 3 is also a longitudinal section of the apparatus with parts in a different
position.
In the floor of the reservoir R are set a suitable number of measures e narrowed
below to terminate in feed pipes for carrying the contents of the measures into the
bottles, the upper edges of the measures being above the level of the floor of the
reservoir R. In each measure e is a valve n, these valves being connected to
beams, having arms connected by rod and governed by lever so that all the
valves may be simultaneously raised or lowered by corresponding movement of the
lever 9. The block may also be lifted from or inserted in the reservoir R. by
means of the lever k, and when in the reservoir displaces a quantity of liquid.
The liquid is poured into the receiver R for each charge until the measures e
are all filled, the lever k is then moved to lift the block / so that the liquid about the
measures filling the space previously occupied by the block causes the level of
the liquid around the measures to drop below the upper edges of the latter. After
the measures have been emptied and the valves again replaced, the block I may be
again lowered and the charge repeated.
Dated this 25th day of May 1891.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Apparatus for Filling Bottles and the like.
I ALBERT JACOBSEN of 26 Neuerwall Hamburg in the Empire of Germany
Engineer 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:-
The object of this invention is to provide apparatus by which a large number
of bottles previously properly placed may be simultaneously filled with certain
measured quantities of liquid.
The improved apparatus is illustrated in the drawings filed with the Provisional
Specification in which
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section and Fig. 2 a plan of the apparatus as arranged
for filling twelve bottles simultaneously with equal amounts of liquid.
Fig. 3 is also a longitudinal section of the apparatus with parts in a different
position.
In the floor of the reservoir R are set a suitable number of measures e narrowed
below to terminate in feed pipes for carrying the contents of the measures into the
bottles, the upper edges of the measures being above the level of the floor of the
Price &d1

page_text: reservoir R. In each measure e is a valve n these valves being connected to
beams having arms connected by rod i and governed by lever so that all the
valves may be simultaneously raised or lowered by corresponding movement of
the lever The block may also be lifted from or inserted in the reservoir R
by means of the lever and when in the, reservoir displaces a quantity of liquid.
The liquid is poured into the receiver R for each charge until the measures e are
all filled, the lever is then moved to lift the block so that the liquid about the
measures filling the space previously occupied by the block causes the level of the
liquid around the measures to drop below the upper edges of the latter... After
the measures have been emptied and the valves again replaced the block may be
again lowered, and the charge repeated.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
The combination with the receiver R having the measures therein as set forth,
of the block adapted to be lowered and raised whereby the level of liquid in the
receiver may be lowered below the rims of the measures previous to the emptying
of the latter substantially in the manner described.
