Complete Accepted, 15th Feb., 1887.
I, CHARLES EDWARD DAVIS, of No. 55, Great Pulteney Street, Bath, in the County
of Somerset, Architect, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in apparatus for effecting the thorough
admixture of different liquids or of quantities of liquid of different temperatures and is
specially suitable for mixing cold and heated water to be supplied to baths.
The supply pipes of the liquids to be mixed are connected with, or open into, a
globular shaped vessel in such a manner that the two liquids come into contact and are
fhereby thoroughly mixed. The mixed liquids escape through a pipe or pipes in any
desired direction.
The bulb of a thermometer is so arranged within the said globular shaped vessel that
it is brought into contact with the liquids or liquid after the mixing thereof has been
thoroughly effected, the bulb and stem of the thermometer being guarded from contact
with either of the supplies of liquid before the same are mixed, whereby the temperature
of the mixed liquid can be readily ascertained.

page_text: Improvements in Apparatus for Mixing Liquids.
I, CHARLES EDWARD DAVIS, of No. 55, Great Pulteney Street, Bath, in the
County of Somerset, Architect, 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 said invention relates to improvements in apparatus for effecting the thorough
admixture of different liquids or of quantities of liquid of different temperatures, and
is specially suitable for mixing cold and heated water to be supplied to baths.
The supply pipes (two or more) of the liquids to be mixed are connected with, or
open into, a globular shaped vessel in such a manner that the two liquids come into
contact and are thereby thoroughly mixed. The mixed liquids escape through a pipe
or pipes in any desired direction.
The bulb of a thermometer is so arranged within the said globular shaped vessel
that it is brought into contact with the liquids or liquid after the mixing thereof has
been thoroughly effected, a circular guard serving to protect the bulb and stem of the
thermometer from contact with either of the supplies of liquid before the same are
mixed whereby the temperature of the mixed liquids or liquid can be readily
ascertained.
I will now proceed to refer to the accompanying drawing from which the nature of
my said invention will be more clearly understood. The said drawing is a front view
of the apparatus constituting the subject of this invention A. is the globular vessel,
B. and C. are pipes for conducting the supplies of liquid to be mixed, the quantities of
the same being controlled by the valves B and C D. and E are pipes for the escape
of the mixed liquid or liquids, and F. is a thermometer, with which the apparatus is
furnished when it is desired to ascertain the temperature of the mixed liquid or
liquids.
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 water mixing apparatus consisting of the globular vessel A, the pipes B. and C.
for the admission of the liquid or liquids thereto, and one or more pipes for the escape
of the same when mixed substantially as hereinbefore described.
