WILLIAM DALTON, Tin and Copper Smith, 52, Dickson Road, Blackpool,
Lancashire, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Of a filter constructed in such a manner as to insure the perfect filtration of
water and liquids thereby destroying and arresting microbes animalculae and all
deleterious substances; making provision for carrying away the excreata auto-
matically and also adding various substances; (having first extracted, the organic
matter from the water,)such as lime stone (anti-dote to lead poisoning) iron for carbon-
ising (for the nerves etc.) permanganate of potash (disinfectant) asbestos and various
carbons such as aro the most suitable for filtering etc.
The novelty consists of one or more shells or ante-chambers D, for the reception
of carbons for purifying the water; it is fed at tap A, or otherwise; passing down
the tube or tubes E into the separating chamber F, (which may be wholly or
partially perforated and packed or wrapped with suitable material for filtering
purposes) passing through the separating chamber F, leaving the first residue of
the organic matter to be conveyed away through G, automatically or otherwise.
The water passes up the sleeves S and D, that surround E, packed with purifying
substances such as asbestos vegatable mineral and animal carbons etc., and the like.
Then through another filtering body G, down to H, and out of tap or union in a
pure fresh state. By attaching a pipe to H, you can supply sundry taps with a
fast running stream of pure filtered water to the entire establishment. The
apparatus possesses a by pass tube that surrounds E, through the ante-chamber B,
by turning the inlet tap A, a quarter allowing the reversed current to flow freely
and thoroughly cleansing the residue by valve V which opens by the back action
of the water pressure. To take into pieces loose the nut N, and all will take out.
The filter can be made of copper, brass, tinned or cast iron or any kind of material,
any size or shape.

1, WILLIAM DALTON, Tin and Copper Smith, 52, Dickson Road, Blackpool,
Lancashire, 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:-
Of a filter constructed in such a manner as to insure the perfect filtration of
water and liquids thereby distroying and arresting microbes animalculae

automatically and also adding various substances, having first extracted the organic
matter from the water, such as lime stone (antidote to lead poisoning) iron for
carbonising (for the nerves etc.) permanganate of potash (disinfectant) asbestos and
vairous carbons such as are the most suitable for filtering etc.
The drawings herein referred to are those filed with Provisional Specification.
This filter consists of one or a series of shells, or chambers, for the reception of
carbons or other filtering mediums for the purpose of filtering or purifying water
or other liquids.
The feed is at letter A.
For the purpose of filtration the water or other liquid to be filtered passes down
inner tube to gauze passage at letter F and is then forced through chamber marked I)
and S. This chamber is charged with carbon or other similar filtering medium,
the water or liquid then passes through layers of asbestos at letter C. From thence
it passes through the outer chamber to outlet at letter H, filtration being then
complete.
For the purpose of cleaning out the filter a quarter turn of tap at letter B com-
pletely effects this as the force of water admitted into chamber marked D and S
through bye pass pipe at letter B forces all deposited matter and residuals through
outlet at letter B2 and thence through valve at letter V passing through outlet
at letter G. For the drawing off of unfiltered water it is sufficient to open tap
at letter G.
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:
