Complete Specification Left; 23rd July, 1892-Accepted, 3rd Sept., 1892
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION:
Combined Steam and Air Water Lift.
.
EDWARD PERRETT 22 Great George Street Westminster and WILLIAM
COOPER PENN Foxholme, West Norwood Engineers do hereby declare the
nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This lift has for its object the raising of water and other liquids by the combined
action of steam and air, the air compressed or otherwise.
The water is drawn up through a suction pipe to a cone shaped pipe or nozzle
and surrounded by air enclosed by another cone, admitted and regulated through
cocks or other similar arrangements. Outside the air cone is a third' cone into
which steam is admitted the supply being controlled by a stop cock.
The water cone projects beyond the air cone, and the air cone beyond the steam
cone in such proportions as may be found most désirable in practice::
The water is drawn up through the inner cone and discharged into an upper
inverted cone by the combined action of the surrounding air and steam which passes
into the upper cone with the effluent water or liquid.
The whole is contained within a case.
For EDWARD PERRETT and self,
W. COOPER PENN.
COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Combined Steam and Air Water Lift.
EDWARD PERRETT 22 Great George Street Westminster Engineer and
WILLIAM COOPER PENN Foxholme West Norwood S.E. 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 :-
This invention has for its object the raising of water and other liquids by the
combined action of steam and air compressed or otherwise. The water is drawn up
through a suction pipe to a cone shaped pipe or nozzle surrounded by air and
enclosed by another cone and admitted through cocks. Outside the air cone is a
third cone into which steam is admitted through a stop cock. The water cone
projects beyond the air cone and the air cone beyond the steam cone in such
proportions as may be found most desirable in practice.
The water is drawn up through the cone already mentioned and discharged into
an upper inverted cone by the combined action of the surrounding air and steam
which passes into the upper cone with the effluent water or other liquid.
The whole is contained within a case.
And in order that the said invention may be properly understood we shall now
proceed more particularly to describe the same and for that purpose shall refer to
the several letters on the accompanying drawing.
This drawing represents a sectional elevation of the apparatus
A.-being the water tube or cone.
B. is the air pipe or cone surrounding A as shown having inlets through
regulation cocks C.
D. is the steam cone, the steam being admitted through d. and is regulated by
a stop cock and adjusted by raising or lowering the cone A by screws a, a.
The water is drawn up through suction pipe E and passes into the inverted
cone from whence it passes into the delivery pipe.

page_text: is the outer casing.
In working this apparatus the steam is admitted through d. into the cone D and
draws up the water through A and also draws a supply of air through the cone B
which prevents the steam from coming into immediate contact with the water.
The water, air, and steam passes into the inverted cone F and is from thence
delivered.
-
Having now particularly described the nature of the said invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we claim is
1. The introduction of air between the steam and the liquid to be moved.
2. The combination of steam and air as described and shown.
