I, FREDERIC LARIGALDIE, Manufacturer, of 21, Rue des Ecluses, St. Martin, Paris,
in the Republic of France, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This application relates essentially to an automatic mechanism applied on the
known apparatus and allowing of giving more rapidity in the filling of syphons, for
this purpose I have combined a double apparatus of such a kind that, whilst I take off
the syphon from the right the apparatus at the left is in pressure, the duration of the
filling the syphon corresponding about to the disengaging of the apparatus at the
right, in such a manner, that there occurs a to and fro movement between each
apparatus, hence the acceleration in the work.
-
In the now used apparatus, where the syphon is maintained by means of a pedal,
on which the foot must be held this to and fro movement cannot exist, there results a
loss of time and also a greater fatigue.
My apparatus differs in this point of view entirely from the others, as I have made
it automatic in all its movements.
In order to effect this result, I have fixed at the hinge joint of the front or shield a
lever which operates by its rotation an axle on which there is keyed a cam carrying
certain faces.
One face serves for replacing the foot in the known apparatus, it makes the
pressure a spring operating like a pedal.
The other face serves to move the lever to open the top of the syphon, these faces
being connected in such a manner that the pressure is made when the top of the
syphon opens for the filling and the top of the syphon closes, when the pressure
ceases for the disengagement.

I, FREDERIC LARIGALDIE, Manufacturer, of 21, Rue des Ecluses, St. Martin, Paris,
in the Republic of France, Manufacturer, 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:-
This application relates essentially to an automatic mechanism applied on the known
apparatus and allowing of giving more rapidity in the filling of syphons, for this
purpose I have combined a double apparatus of such a kind that, whilst I take off the
syphon from the right, the apparatus at the left is in pressure, the duration of the
filling the syphon corresponding about to the disengaging of the apparatus at
the right, in such a manner, that there occurs a to and fro movement between each
apparatus, hence the acceleration in the work.
In the now used apparatus, where the syphon is maintained by means of a pedal on
which the foot must be held this to and fro movement cannot exist, there results a
loss of time and also a greater fatigue.
My apparatus differs in this point of view entirely from the others, as I have made
it automatic in all its movements.
To this description there is annexed a drawing showing in Fig. 1 my double
apparatus in elevation and in section allowing of showing the parts which constitute
my invention, Fig. 2 is a partial plan and Fig. 3 a partial section on line c d of
Fig. 1.
In order to effect this result, I have fixed at the hinge joint of the front A or
shield a lever B which operates by its rotation on an axle D on which there is keyed
a cam E carrying the faces f and g.
The face g fixed thereunder serves for replacing the pedal gear in the known
apparatus, it makes the releasing downward pressure on rod D¹, the spring H
operating to return the rod D¹ to engage the end of the syphon.
The face f serves through the rod p¹ to move the lever p to open the cock of the
syphon. These faces f and g follow one another in such a manner that the upward
pressure on rod D¹ is made when the cock of the syphon opens for the filling, and the
cock of the syphon closes when the pressure of rod D¹ ceases for the disengagement
of the syphon.
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
In machinery for filling syphons the lever fixed on the front or shield making hinge
joint and operating a cam which by its rotation makes the syphon holding and opening
apparatus automatic the cam being modified according to the requirements of the
machinery to which the device is fitted.
