PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION
Improvements in Apparatus for Separating or Removing Sediment
from Liquids and for similar purposes.
We, ARTHUR JAMES NEWTON, Builder, of Clifton Villa, The Crescent, and
WILLIAM HENRY COCKS, Turner, of Baker Street, both of Weybridge, in the
County of Surrey, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention for improvements in apparatus for separating or removing sedi-
ment from liquids and for similar purposes has for its principal object to facili-
tate the separation of sediment from the liquid in the bottoms of spirit, wine,
beer, vinegar, and similar casks or containers; and consists in a glass or trans-
parent vessel, a draw off cock at the bottom of the vessel, and a tube extending
upwards from the cock a short distance into the vessel. The liquid to be
separated is poured into the top of the vessel and when the sediment has settled
the clear liquid is drawn off by the cock, leaving the sediment in the bottom of
the vessel. The tube is made telescopic and has an extension extending to the
top of the vessel to enable it to be adjusted, for example a tube with a hole in
it slides in a fixed tube at the bottom of the vessel connected to the tap. In
another arrangement a tube attached to the tap slides through a cork or gland
joint in the bottom of the vessel.
The apparatus is fixed in or suspended from a stand.

In the accompanying sheet of illustrative drawings Fig. 1 is an elevation of an
apparatus constructed according to this invention and Fig. 2 is a detail view.
The cylindrical glass vessel a provided at its bottom with a draw off cock b
is held in a stand consisting of the upright d, the upper ring e encircling the
cylindrical part of the vessel and the perforated projection f adapted to receive
the spout of the draw off cock b. The upright d is fixed vertically by means of
screws or in other suitable manner to the wall or other internal fitting. The
glass vessel a is thus readily removable. The inlet of the draw off cock projects
inwards into the vessel z and a tube g' slides in the upper end. The tube g
is provided with perforations o. The lower end of the tube 9 is split so that it
fits with the desired amount of tightness into the upper end of the draw off cock.
The vessel a is provided with a stopper h.
The liquid to be separated is poured into the vessel az and when the sediment
has separated the clear liquid is drawn off by the cock b, the tube g being
lowered so that its uppermost hole is just above the settled sediment.
The apparatus is useful for separating wines, spirit, beers, oils and water and
the like.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is: -
The apparatus for separating or removing sediment from liquids and for similar
purposes substantially as described with reference to the drawings.
