RICHARD ANDERSON Sanitary Engineer 37 Herbert Street Blackley,.
Manchester 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 :-
My invention relates to an improved disinfecting apparatus and has for its object
the disinfecting of water chambers.
In order that my invention may be clearly rendered reference to be made to.
drawings accompanying Provisional and this Specification.
Similar letters of refereuce are used to indicate like parts in each view.
The apparatus is fixed above a water cistern the chamber A of which contains.
the disinfecting fluid.
The ball B works the upright shaft Cinside of vertical column D to the
lever E. E. supported by centre pedestal F which opens or closes the double
valve G and allows the disinfecting fluid to be precipitated into the water cistern
below.
Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 represents the double valve G in detail.
Fig. 3 shows the top of the double valve open, of which J and J' are connected
by a rod H, working inside of the tube K.
Fig. 4 shows a section of the same double valve, the bottom part J¹ open, and
the top J closed.
This double valve is attached by a rod or chain L to the lever E. E. the fulcrum
of the lever is on the pedestal F, and to the other end of the lever E. E. is attached
a rod C working through a vertical column or bush D, and to the bottom of the
rod C is fixed a hollow ball B. The ball B is actuated by the rise and fall of the
water in the cistern below, and thereby the double valve G opens or closes
alternately.
The tube K acts as a measure for the quantity of disinfecting fluid to be supplied
at each operation, that is: when the top portion of the valve J is open the
bottom Jis closed the tube fills with the disinfectant and by the alternate
Pm 81

page_text: position of the valve, the tube is emptied by the said fluid passing into the water
contained in the cistern below.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare what I
claim is:
1st. A fluid disinfecting chamber placed above a water cistern and worked
automatically by the action of the rise and fall of the water upon a ball in the
water cistern, substantially as described.
2nd. I claim a fluid disinfecting chamber placed above a water cistern and
working automatically by the action of the rise and fall of the water upon a ball
in the water cistern, in connection with the double valve and measuring tube for
the fluid disinfectant, substantially as described above.
