PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Apparatus for Mixing Liquids for Flushing or other
Purposes.
I, JOHN JULIUS ADLER, of Ajmere, Rajputana, East India, Assistant to the
Carriage & Wagon Superintendent of the Rajputana-Malwa State Railway, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention has reference to a simple inexpensive construction and arrangement
of apparatus whereby two or more different liquids can be readily withdrawn from
as many different reservoirs mixed and discharged whether for flushing purposes or
for drinking or otherwise.
An apparatus for mixing two liquids, say water and disinfectant, or water and
wine, or stout and ale, is as follows:-
:―
disinfectant
Two reservoirs or vessels one for say water and the other for
say
are provided with suitable discharge pipes. One of these pipes is or may be
furnished with a cock or valve that can be opened by a lever handle in opposition
to a spring that tends normally to keep the cock or valve shut. The other
discharge pipe is arranged with its lower part concentric with the first and is of
smaller diameter and controlled by a valve that is kept normally closed by a spring.
The stem of this valve carries a dish or disc or equivalent device so arranged that
water discharged from the first mentioned pipe and acting as it flows upon the said
dish or disc or equivalent device will cause the valves of the second pipe to open
opposition to its spring thus allowing disinfectant to flow and mix with the
descending water. When the flow of water is stopped the flow of disinfectant will
be automatically arrested by the secondly mentioned valve. The reservoirs or
vessels or either of them may be constructed of glass or of metal with windows or
gauges to shew the level of the liquid in them. For some purposes the first
mentioned cock or valve may be dispensed with.
in
In some cases more than one reservoir in a set or series may be furnished with a
discharge pipe having a valve with dish or equivalent device to be acted upon by
liquid for opening the valve, so that more than two different kinds of liquid may be
mixed simultaneously.
'
Apparatus according to my invention in which a valve with stem furnished with
a dish or equivalent so as to be opened by a flow of liquid may be applied to
existing discharge pipes whether for supplying disinfectant to flowing water for
flushing or otherwise.
Such apparatus may be employed for flushing water closets and latrinės in houses,
railway carriages or vessels and for a variety of other purposes.

page_text: statement:-
auu ascertained in and by the ionowing
My invention has reference to a simple inexpensive construction and arrangement
of apparatus whereby two or more different liquids can be readily withdrawn from
as many different reservoirs, mixed and discharged, whether for flushing purposes or
for drinking or otherwise.
In the accompanying drawings,
Fig. 1 shows in elevation, an apparatus constructed according to this invention
suitable for mixing two liquids, say water and disinfectant, or water and wine, or
stout and ale...
Fig. 2 shows partly in elevation and partly in vertical section, a portion of
this apparatus to a larger scale.
1 is a reservoir for say water, provided with a suitable discharge pipe 2 that
may be furnished with a cock or valve that can be opened by a lever handle 3 in
opposition to a spring, or to fluid pressure thereon due to the head of liquid above
it, and which tends normally to keep the cock or valve shut in a manner well under-
stood. 4 is a reservoir for say disinfectant; it is provided with a discharge pipe 5
having its lower end arranged within and concentric with the discharge pipe 2 and
controlled by a valve 6 that is kept normally closed by a spring 7. The stem 8 of
this valve carries a dish or disc 9 or equivalent device arranged within the discharge
pipe as shown so that water discharged from the reservoir or vessel 1, will act as
it flows through the discharge pipe 2 upon the said dish or disc 9 or equivalent
device and will cause the valve 6 to open in opposition to its spring 7, thus allowing
disinfectant to flow from the reservoir 4 and mix with the descending water. When
the flow of water is stopped, the flow of disinfectant will be automatically arrested
by the valve 6 which will be returned to its seat by its spring 7.
The discharge pipe 5 is provided with a flange 10 and packing 11 by which a
water tight joint is formed as shown between it and the portion of the discharge
pipe 2 through which it extends and which portion may be of glass. 12 is a
reservoir or receptacle into which the mixed liquids are discharged.
The reservoirs or vessels 1 and 4, or either of them, may be constructed of glass
or of metal with windows, as shown for example at 13, or with gauges to shew the
level of the liquid in them. For some purposes the first mentioned cock or valve
may be dispensed with.
In some cases more than one reservoir such as 4, in a set or series, may be
furnished with a discharge pipe having a valve with dish or equivalent device
to be acted upon by liquid for opening the valve in the manner hereinbefore
described, so that more than two different kinds of liquid may be mixed
simultaneously.
Apparatus according to my invention in which a valve with stem furnished with
a dish or equivalent so as to be opened by a flow of liquid as described may be
applied to existing discharge pipes whether for supplying disinfectant to flowing
water for flushing or otherwise.
Such apparatus may be employed for flushing water closets and latrines in
houses, railway carriages or navigable vessels and for a variety of other purposes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is :-
1. Apparatus for mixing liquids for flushing or other purposes in which the
lower end of the discharge pipe of one of the reservoirs containing liquid to be
mixed terminates within the discharge pipe of another reservoir for liquid and is
controlled by a valve normally closed by a spring and having a stem provided
with a dish, disc or equivalent device, the arrangement being such that liquid
flowing through the last mentioned discharge pipe will act upon the said
dish, disc or equivalent device and open the said valve against the action of

page_text: its spring and allow liquid to flow from the first mentioned reservoir and
become mixed with the descending liquid, and when the flow of this last
mentioned liquid ceases, the valve will be closed by its spring and automatically
arrest the flow of liquid from the first mentioned reservoir substantially as herein
described.
2. My improved apparatus for mixing liquids for flushing or other purposes,
constructed, arranged and operating substantially as described and shown.
Dated this 23rd day of May 1892.
