Distributor for Liquids.
FREDERICK WALLIS STODDART, Grafton Lodge, Sneyd Park, near Bristol,
Analytical Chemist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
The distributor consists of a gutter-shaped vessel of wood, metal, or other
material, along the bottom of which on the exterior, is affixed a longitudinal
row of vertical projections or pegs. The margins of the distributor may con-
veniently be notched so as to direct the flow of contained liquid to the pegs. One
or both ends of the distributor are closed.
The liquid to be distributed is introduced into the gutter, flows over the
margins through the notches, if any, and drops from the pegs into the receiving
vessel.
If several distributors are employed simultaneously they may be constructed
from a corrugated sheet in which the notches are represented by perforations to
allow of the passage of the liquid.
The proportions of the distributor are determined by the nature of the liquid,
and the rate of flow desired.
Distributor for Liquids.
I, FREDERICK WALLIS STODDART, Grafton Lodge, Sneyd Park, near Bristol,
Analytical Chemist, 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:―
The object of this invention is to distribute liquids in fine streams or drops
and is especially applicable for delivering liquids onto filter beds.
The distributor consists of a gutter-shaped vessel of wood, metal or other
material, along the bottom of which on the exterior is affixed a longitudinal
row of vertical projections or pegs. The margins of the distributor may con-
veniently be notched so as to direct the flow of contained liquid to the pegs. One
or both ends of the distributor are closed.
The liquid to be distributed is introduced into the gutter, flows over the
margins through the notches, if any, and drops from the pegs into the receiving
vessel.
If several distributors are employed simultaneously they may be constructed

allow of the passage of the liquid.
The proportions of the distributor are determined by the nature of the liquid,
and the rate of flow desired.
Figure 1 is a side elevation, Figure 2 a transverse section and Figure 3 a
plan of a single distributor constructed according to this invention.
a is a metal trough of triangular form having a row of pegs b fixed along the
underside of its bottom. c are notches formed in its upper edges.
The most convenient way of attaching the pegs b is by forcing them down
through holes in the trough but they may be soldered or otherwise fixed to
the outside or formed by shaping the metal of the trough.
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:-
1. A distributor for liquids consisting of a trough having along the underside
of its bottom a row of projections.
2. A distributor for liquids consisting of a trough having along the underside
of its bottom a row of projections, and having notches in its upper edges.
