of York, Ironmonger do hereby declare the nature of my invention for AN
IMPROVED FUNNEL FOR THE FILLING OF LIQUIDS, to be as follows:-
This invention relates to an Improved Funnel for the filling of liquids into
opaque vessels, and has for its object the accomplishment of the following
advantages, viz: (firstly) it prevents overflowing of the liquids, and (secondly).

arising from the said overflowing of liquids upon surrounding objects.
I accomplish the above-named advantages in the following manner: the instrument.
is so constructed that when the liquid rises to a point a short distance below the
opening in the vessel in which the instrument is inserted an indicator is actuated,
thus announcing to the operator the height to which the liquid has attained. In
the parts in the respective drawings, Figure 1 is section is of the instrument
shewing the indicator at rest, the liquid not having reached the float C. Figure 2

baving risen some distance within the lower part of the tube G, and by acting
upon the float C, forcing the indicator B to rise. D is a wire bracket supporting
the indicator. F is a concave partition dividing the tube G, through which the
indicator B freely passes; the partition preventing the liquid from falling upon the
upper end of float C. E, E, E, E are openings in the side of the tube G for
the egress of the liquid. His an aperture for the release air confined in the space

page_text: I, WILLIAM WORMALD BARRACLOUGH of 9 Swadford Street Skipton, in the
County of York, Ironmonger do hereby declare the nature of my invention for
AN IMPROVED FUNNEL FOR LIQUIDS and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
This Invention relates to an Improved Funnel for the filling of liquids into
vessels, and has for its object the accomplishment of the following advantages, viz:
(1) it prevents overflowing of the liquid, and (2) waste of the same thereby, and
(8) it obviates other loss and inconvenience arising from the said overflowing of
the liquids upon surrounding objects.
I accomplish the above-named advantages in the following manner; the instrument
is so constructed that when the liquid rises to certain point a short distance within
the vessel in which it is inserted, an indicator is actuated, thus announcing the
height to which the liquid has attained. In the accompanying drawings illustrating
the above-named Invention like letters represent like parts in the respective
drawings. Figure 1 is a section of the said instrument showing the indicator at
rest, the liquid not having reached the float C. Figure 2 is a section of the said
instrument showing the indicator in in full action, the liquid having risen some
distance within the lower part of the tube G, and by acting on the float C, causes
the said indicator B to rise. A is the receiver; D is a bracket supporting the upper
end of the indicator B. E, E, E, E, are openings in the side of the tube G for
the egress of the liquid. F is a partition dividing the tube G horizontally,
through which the indicator B freely passes, the said partition preventing the liquid
from falling upon the upper end of the float C. I is a vessel (forming no part of
the said invention) introduced in the drawings for the better illustration of the
invention.
The drawings herein referred to are those already filed with Provisional
Specification.
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,
The construction of an Improved Funnel for the filling of liquids into vessels,
in which the said funnel so acts as (1) to prevent overflowing of the liquid, and
(2) waste of the same thereby, and (3) it obviates other loss and inconvenience
arising from the said overflowing of the liquids upon surrounding objects; the
whole being substantially arranged and ascertained as described and as illustrated
in the accompanying drawings.
Dated this 10th day of March 1886.
