PROVISIONAL DI MULTICATION.
An Improved Appliance for use in connection with Beer and other
Engines for Lifting and Forcing Liquids.
I, MATTHEW DICKINSON, of 21, Queen's Walk, in the City of Nottinghani,
Licensed Victuallers' Stocktaker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to cool beer and other liquids when lifted or forced
from barrels by beer and other engines.
For this purpose, the pipe connecting the barrel with the raising or forcing
engine I surround with a larger pipe, casing, or other vessel for the whole or
a portion of its length. The top and lower ends of the larger pipe or casing is
soldered or attached in a suitable manner to the inner connecting pipe, so as to be
water tight; and I fill the space between the two pipes with cold water, which
runs in at the top and is allowed to run away slowly from the bottom, either by
an independent overflow pipe; or, when two or more engines are placed alongside
one another, the bottom of one outer pipe may be connected to the bottom of the
adjacent one by a suitable connecting pipe, and the top of this outer adjacent
pipe may also be connected by a suitable connecting pipe to an adjacent pair of
engine pipes, in such a manner that the water will flow down one pipe and up
the other one and then to the overflow-in the case of a pair of engines or it may
then pass on to another pair, and flow in a similar manner.
Thus the cooler temperature of the circulating water thereby cools the beer
or other liquid passing from the barrel to the engine in the inner pipe.

5 An Improved Appliance for use in connection with Beer and other
Engines for Lifting and Forcing Liquids.
I, MATTHEW DICKINSON, (late of 21, Queen's Walk), of "The Old Three Horse
Shoes," No. 11, Derby Road, in the City of Nottingham, Licensed Victualler's

page_text: Stocktaker, 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 my invention is to cool beer and other liquids when lifted or forced
from barrels by beer and other engines.
For this purpose, the pipe connecting the barrel with the raising or forcing
engine I surround with a larger pipe, casing, or other vessel for the whole or
a portion of its length. The top and lower ends of the pipe or casing is
soldered or attached in a suitable manner to the inner connecting pipe, so as to be
water tight; and I fill the space between the two pipes with cold water, which
runs in at the top and is allowed to run away slowly from the bottom, either by
an independent overflow pipe; or, when two or more engines are placed alongside
one another, the bottom of one outer pipe may be connected to the bottom of the
adjacent one by a suitable connecting pipe, and the top of this outer adjacent
pipe may also be connected by a suitable connecting pipe to an adjacent pair of
engine pipes, in such a manner that the water will flow down one pipe and up
the other one and then to the overflow-in the case of a pair of engines-or it may
then pass on to another pair, and flow in a similar manner.
Thus the cooler temperature of the circulating water thereby cools the beer
or other liquid passing from the barrel to the engine in the inner pipe.
-
In order that my invention may be fully understood, and more readily carried
out and into effect, I have appended hereunto one sheet of drawings whereon:-
Figure 1 represents a longitudinal section of one form of my invention, where
the internal pipe passes in a straight form through the outer pipe.
Figure 2 represents a longitudinal section of another form of invention,
my
wherein the internal pipe passes in a coiled form through the outer pipe.
Similar letters of reference refer to similar parts throughout the various figures.
In these figures A is the pipe connecting the barrel with the raising engine,
and B is the casing surrounding pipe A for a portion or the whole of its length.
The top end B', and the bottom end B2 of the casing B are connected in a suitable
manner to the pipe A, so as to be water tight; and the casing B may be fitted
with the tap C for draining or drawing off the liquid in casing B when required.
The space between the pipe A and casing B is filled with cold water, which is run
in at the supply branch E, and runs slowly away through the lower branch F;
either to the casing of another beer engine, or it may be used for cooling bottled
ale, stout, mineral waters, wine or the like in a suitable manner, or for other pur-
poses.
I fit the branches E and F with suitable taps for turning off the water
when required.
In the case of the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the internal pipe A is made
in the form of a coil, so as to obtain greater cooling surface, and the casing D may
be fitted with brackets D, D for attaching to a wall or the like. In some cases
I may prefer to pass the beer, or other liquid into the casing B, and the cooling
water through the pipe or coil A; and the water, or beer or the like-as the case
or vice versa as
may be may enter at branch F, and flow out by branch E;
desired.
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
I claim is:
1st. In pipes used for connecting beer or other engines or pumps with barrels or
the like from which the liquid is drawn, surrounding such pipes with a casing for
containing water for the whole or a portion of its length for the purposes specified,
and as shown in the drawings herewith.
2nd. In pipes such as are referred to in the first claim, the combination of a
water jacket or casing B with the said pipe or coil A for the purposes named, and
substantially as herein set forth and illustrated in the drawings herewith.

page_text: 3rd. The special arrangement, construction, and combination of parts as shown
in Figures 1 and 2 herewith for the purposes named above, and substantially as
described and shown on the drawings herewith.

Agent for the Applicant.
