PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Pumps or Apparatus for Discharging or
Transferring Liquids.
I, PETER BRANDELL, of the Town of Council Bluffs, State of Iowa, U.S.A.,
Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to pumps for the transfer of oil from barrels or barrel-
cars to tanks, or for purposes thereto allied. In explaining it, I will make use
of the accompanying drawings in all of which the same numeral indicates the
same part.
Fig. 1 represents a perspective view of my device ready for use, after the proper
couplings have been made.
Fig. 2 is a sectional view of Fig. 1 upon the central longitudinal line.
Fig. 3 is a detail of construction.
1. represents the body portion of my device, the lower portion 2 of which has a
tapering exterior 3 provided with screw-threads 4 the use of which will be herein-
after described. The central portion of the body 1 is so formed upon its exterior
face 5 as to present a polygonal structure. The upper portion of the body I is
provided with a horizontally disposed nipple 6, and a vertically disposed nipple 7.
The interior of the body 1 is provided with a round passage 8 throughout its
length, the said passage having internal threadings 9 near the orifice of the
nipple 7, and an annular enlarged portion 10 which tapers gradually to the lower
orifice of the said passage 8. Into this passage 8 is inserted a tube 11, one end
of which is threaded to engage the threadings 9. It is particularly to be noted
that this tube 11 is somewhat smaller in its exterior diameter than the lower
orifice of the passage 8, so that when the tube is engaged as described, there
will remain a space between the said tube and the said orifice. The tube 11 is
provided in its interior with an annular seat 12 and interior threadings 13 at its
lower end. Into the tube 11 is fitted another tube 14 which is provided with a
fixed guide-ring 15 at its end, and a sliding guide-ring 16, and a perforated end-
portion 17. The tube 14 is secured into the tube 11 by means of the threaded
collar 18. It will be noticed that the guide-ring 15 clears the annular seat 12,
but that the guide-ring 16 does not. Packing 19 is introduced to make tight
joints, and the nipple 6 should be provided with a valve 20.
My device is operated as follows:-The tapered portion 3 is screwed tightly
into the opening of the cask or tank. The nipple 7 is coupled to the tank to
be filled, and nipple 6 is coupled to an air force-pump or other supply of compressed
air. After such coupling, the air forces its way through passage 8 into the barrel,
displacing the contents thereof, and forcing the same through the strainer 17,
tube 14, nipple 7 and into the tank to be filled.
Dated this 12th day of September 1895.

I, PETER BRANDELL, of the Town of Council Bluffs, State of Iowa, U.S.A.,
Gentleman, 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:-
My invention relates to pumps for the transfer of oil from barrels or barrel-
cars to tanks, or for purposes thereto allied. In explaining it, I will make use
of the drawings filed with my Provisional Specification in all of which the same
numeral indicates the same part.
Fig. 1 represents in side elevation my device ready for use, after the proper
couplings have been made.
Fig. 2 is a sectional view of Fig. 1 upon the central longitudinal line.
Fig. 3 is a sectional view showing to a larger scale, a detail of construction.
1 represents the body portion of my device, the lower portion 2 of which has a
tapering exterior 3 provided with screw-threads 4 the use of which will be herein-
after described. The central portion of the body 1 is so formed upon its exterior
face 5 as to present a polygonal structure. The upper portion of the body 1 is
provided with a horizontally disposed nipple 6, and a vertically disposed nipple 7.
The interior of the body 1 is provided with a round passage 8 throughout its
length, the said passage having an internal screw-thread 9 near the orifice of the
nipple 7, and an annular enlarged portion 10 which tapers gradually to the lower
orifice of the said passage 8. Into this passage 8 is, inserted a tube 11, one end
of which is screw-threaded to engage the screw thread 9. It is particularly to
be noted that this tube 11 is somewhat smaller in its exterior diameter than the
lower orifice of the passage 8, so that when the tube is engaged as described,
there will remain a space between the said tube and the said orifice.
tube 11 is provided in its interior with an annular seat 12 and an interior screw
thread 13 at its lower end. Into the tube 11 is fitted another tube 14 which is
provided with a fixed guide-ring 15 at its upper end, a sliding guide-ring 16, and a
perforated end-portion 17. The tube 14 is secured into the tube 11 by means of
the screw-threaded collar or thimble 18. It will be noticed that the guide-ring 15
clears the annular seat 12, but that the guide-ring 16 does not. Packing 19 is
introduced to make tight joints, and the nipple 6 should be provided with a
valve 20.
The
My device is operated as follows:-The tapered portion 3 is screwed tightly
into the opening of the cask or tank. The nipple. 7 is coupled to the tank to
be filled, and nipple 6 is coupled to an air force-pump or other supply of compressed
air. Alter such coupling, the air forces its way through passage 8 into the barrel,
displacing the contents thereof, and forcing the same through the strainer 17,
tubes 14 and 11, nipple 7 and thence into the tank to be filled.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare. that what I
claim is
1. A pump or apparatus for discharging or transferring liquids, comprising a
tapered. body portion with exterior screw-thread, a vertical opening through the
same, the said opening having an interior enlarged tapering chamber 10, a main
liquid tube traversing said opening and engaging by screw-threads the upper
portion thereof, a compressed air inlet to said tapering chamber, a secondary liquid
tube telescoped within the said main tube and having fixed at its upper end a

page_text: guide-ring and at its lower end a strainer device, a sliding guide-ring between the
main liquid tube and the secondary liquid tube, and a screw-threaded collar or
thimble retaining the said secondary liquid tube within the said main liquid tube,
with packing for the said thimble, substantially as described.
2. The improved pump or apparatus for discharging or transferring liquids,
constructed as described and shown.
Dated this áth duy of October 1895.
