London, and EDMUND ISAAC REDGRAVE Clock Maker of 24 All Saints Street
Caledonian road N. London We do hereby declare the nature of this invention to
be as follows
:-
There is a reservoir, at the top of it there is a Tap with a handle, and another Tap
at the bottom with no handle, the top tap is for the supply of the reservoir, the bottom
tap is for emptying the reservoir, the holes in the plugs of the taps are cut and fixed
in a position so that the top tap shuts off before the bottom tap opens, they are
worked by a rack and two springs attached to both taps, by pulling down the handle
to a spring stop, it shuts off the supply of the reservoir, so as to let the liquid run
out of the bottom tap, and at the same time the rack moves a small ratchett wheel
which registers each time, and by letting go of the handle the bottom tap shuts and
the top tap opens for an instant supply of Liquid. On the side of the reservoir, there
is a valve to let the Air in and out of the reservoir.

ISAAC REDGRAVE, Clock Maker, 24, All Saints Street, Caledonian Road, N. We
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:
There is a reservoir, at the top of it there is a tap with a handle and another tap
at the bottom with no handle, the top tap is for the supply of the reservoir, the bottom
tap is for emptying the reservoir, the holes in the plugs of the taps are cut and fixed
in a position so as the top tap shuts off before the bottom tap opens, they are
worked by a rack and two springs attached to both taps, by pulling down the handle
to a spring stop, it shuts the supply of the reservoir, so as to let the liquid run out
of the bottom tap, and by the same time the rack moves a small ratchett wheel which
registers each time and by letting go the handle the bottom tap shuts and the top tap
opens for an instant supply of Liquid, on the side of the reservoir there is a valve
to let the air in and out of the reservoir.
In the Drawings Figure 1 represents a side view, Figure 2 a front view. Similar
letters refer to like parts in the Figures.
A is the measuring reservoir to hold the Liquid.
B is the top tap.
Ca piece attached to the top tap, to push down the rack I.
Dis the handle attached to the top tap B.
E is the bottom tap.
F is the spout attached to the bottom tap.
G. G are the holes in the plugs, as shewn in the Drawings the hole in the top tap
or plug is open and the hole in the bottom tap or plug is shut.
H is the spring stop.
I is the Rack.
J is a piece attached to the rack to move the ratchet wheel K. which moves the
registers L.
M. M are springs attached to both taps.
N is the valve, O is the glass floater.
P is the supply pipe, Q a stop to keep the handle D in a vertical position as shewn
in the drawings.
The operation of the taps is as follows When the handle D stands in a vertical
position as shewn in the Drawings, the top tap B is open to let the Liquid fill the
reservoir A, the bottom tap E is shut. By pulling down the handle D to the spring
stop H, and locks itself, and shuts the reservoir A at the same time The piece Č
pushes down the rack I moves the ratchett wheel K one tooth, which moves the

page_text: registers L and also opens the bottom tap E to allow the Liquid to run out of
the spout F, And by pressing the spring stop H which lets go the handle D to the
stop it shuts the bottom tap E and opens the top tap B for a fresh supply of Liquid
into the reservoir A and so on.
The registers L which are composed of a train of numbering wheels which
are moved by the ratchett wheel K as shewn in front view Drawing Figure 2
indicate each time the Liquid is drawn out of the Apparatus.
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
First. The Improved Registering Measure for Liquids constructed and arranged
substantially as herein before described and illustrated in the Drawings and for
the purpose set forth.
Second. The combination of the aforesaid Registering Measure for Liquids with
numbering Wheels for the purpose of registering the number of Measurements made
by the said registering Measure for Liquids substantially as hereinbefore described
and illustrated in the Drawings.
