I FRANCIS BRANGWIN Manufacturer of 271 Mare Street Hackney in the County of
Middlesex do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
This invention relates to a new or improved apparatus or cage in which to mount
or hold carboys or other vessels or similar jars in which acids are usually stored or
held so that such vessels may be easily and readily tilted and emptied without the
difficulty and danger which exists when withdrawing the acid as at present is usually
the case.
For this purpose I use a very simple and cheap contrivance as follows:-
Two suitable upright frames or standards are connected together by tie rods or bars
to form a stand to support the carboy cage or carrier.
This cage or carrier consists of a suitable circular hinged hoop having axes or
trunnions mounted at opposite sides thereon on which it can freely turn in the stand.
This hoop is made in two parts hinged together so as to open and receive the
carboy which rests upon a bottom or supporting piece secured to the said hoop and
also has an upright rod or lever rising above it upon which slides an arm having a
loop or ring at its end which fits over the neck of the carboy and is then rigidly
secured to the upright rod by means of a set screw or other device.
The two parts of the hoop having been closed and suitably secured together the
carboy is now securely held in the cage which may now be partly or wholly turned
over on its axes or trunnions (by means of the upright rod which serves as a handle
or lever) and the contents of the carboy poured out as required.
The stand may be mounted on wheels or rollers to facilitate its removal from place
to place as desired and the various parts may be made in any suitable form or forms
and of any suitable material or materials for the purposes set forth.

page_text: I FRANCIS BRANGWIN Manufacturer of 271 Mare Street Hackney in the County of
Middlesex 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 relates to an improved apparatus or cage in which to mount or hold
carboys. or other vessels or similar jars in which acids and other liquids are usually
stored or held so that such vessels may be easily and readily tilted and emptied or part
of the contents drawn off without difficulty and the danger which often exists when
withdrawing acid and other liquids such as petroleum.
For this purpose I use a very simple and cheap contrivance as follows reference
being had to the accompanying sheet of drawings.
Figure 1 showing a stand empty and Figure 2 showing similar stand with carboy
therein tilted.
Two suitable upright frames or standards a bare connected together by tie rods or
bars c c to form a stand to support the carboy cage or other vessel carrier.
This cage or carrier consists of a suitable circular hoop d at its top having axes or
trunnions at e mounted at opposite sides thereon on which it can freely turn in the stand.
This hoop d is made in two parts hinged together the front part d¹ being suitably
hinged so as to open and receive the carboy which rests upon a bottom or supporting
piece d² secured to the said hoop and also has an upright rod or lever d³ rising above
it upon which slides an arm having a loop or ring dat its end which fits over the neck
of the carboy or other vessel and is then rigidly secured to the upright rod d³ by
means of a set screw d³ or other device.
The two parts of the hoop having been closed and suitably secured together (or the
hoop d may be made all in one part if desired) the carboy or other vessel is securely
held in the cage which may be partly or wholly turned over on its bearings or
trunnions e (by. means of the rod da which serves as a handle or lever as shown in
Figure 2) and the contents-of-the carboy or other vessel poured out as required..
+
In place of the ring & for some purposes a hook may be substituted therefor.
This improved stand may be mounted on wheels or rollers to facilitate removal from
place to place as desired and the various parts may be made in any suitable form or
forms and of any suitable material or materials for the purpose set forth.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I would remark that I am
aware that carboy stands or tilters are not in themselves new and I therefore make no
claim to such apparatus broadly but what I do claim as new and as my invention is :-
The improved arrangement and construction of carriers for holding and tilting
carboys jars and the like vessels substantially in the manner and for the purposes
herein before described and as illustrated in the drawings annexed.
