WALTER Fox, Mechanical Engineer, Rose Bank, Patricroft, Manchester,
THOMAS HENRY KINGSCOTE, 6, Ducie Avenue, C on M, Oxford Road, Manchester,
Mechanical and Electrical Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to improvements in filtering dirty liquids as oil or water,
or both by apparatus constructed so as to facilitate its withdrawal for rinsing,
off the sediment after being used.
An arrangement of receptacles and sieves for oil, water and other .liquids.
Above receptacles and sieves have bottoms of perforated or woven material,
with meshes or lumina varying from coarse to fine, and are placed one inside
another as a closed telescope. The top resceptacle has a bottom of coarse mesh and
each resceptacle lower has a bottom with a mesh finer than the one above it.
Any one or more of the resceptacles may be withdrawn for rinsing purposes or
added to for extra filtration.

WALTER Fox, Mechanical Engineer, Rose Bank, Patricroft, Manchester,
and THOMAS HENRY KINGSCOTE, 6, Ducie Avenue, Con M, Oxford Road, Manches-
ter, Mechanical and Electrical 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:-
1
Our invention relates to improvements in filtering dirty liquids as oil or water,
or both by apparatus constructed, so as to facilitate its withdrawal for rinsing.
Fig. 1 is a vertical section of the filter etc.
Al
B
is the reservoir for filtered liquids.

page_text: The sieves are of perforated or woven materials, with meshes or lumina varying
from coarse as at G to fine at E.
These receptacles may act as a cover or lid to the reservoir, or a separate loose
cover may be used with a convenient opening to receive the said receptacles.
The dirty liquids are poured into the upper receptacle G which has a filter or
sieve of coarse mesh, which catches the coarser grit or sediment.
The liquids then pass through the intermediate and bottom sieves which have
bottoms of finer mesh and further separation of sediment is the result.
The filtered liquids fall on to the inclined loose cover or lid D then flow to and
down conduit C to the reservoir.
If the purified liquids are oil and water, the oil passes through the water and
rises into the area A leaving the water at the bottom end of the reservoir.
The receptacles G to E and loose cover 1 are arranged so that each may be
lifted out for cleaning purposes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is :-
1
1. An arrangement of receptacles and sieves for filtering oil water and other
liquids.
2. An arrangement of receptacles and sieves to facilitate their withdrawal for
cleaning purposes.
