PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Method of and Apparatus for Regulating the
Flow of Liquids.
I, PETER QUIGLEY of 223 North Boulevarde, Hull in the County of York,
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention, to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to construct a simple contrivance for delivering
water in equal quantities to ice moulds whereby water can be delivered through
several pipes to several moulds at one and the same time, the quantity of water
received by each mould being equal and which is also applicable for delivering
other liquids where required to be delivered in equal quantities.
I construct my invention as follows:- employ a flanged bush which I fix to
the end of the feed pipe inside the tank from which the liquid is being fed, to the
mouth of the said feed pipe 1 attach a suitable nozzle preferably by screwing it to
such pipe.
The hole in the flanged bush is larger than the hole in the nozzle, this regulates
the flow of the liquid, and by employing suitable holes in the flanged bush, and a
less hole of suitable size in the nozzle, the flow of liquids can be thoroughly
regulated so that if several delivery pipes are employed an equal quantity of liquid
can be delivered through each pipe.
This invention is especially applicable to ice making plants, as the flow of water
to the ice moulds is in all cases equal, however many pipes are employed, thus one
block of ice can be weighed and all the other blocks will be of like weight, but my
invention is also applicable for delivering equal quantities of liquids for various
other purposes.

Improvements in the Method of and Apparatus for Regulating the
Flow of Liquids.
1, PETER QUIGLEY, of 223 North Boulevard, Hull, in the County of York,
Engineer, 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 improvements in the method of and apparatus for
regulating the flow of liquids.
The object of my invention is to construct a simple contrivance for delivering
water in equal quantities to ice moulds, and which is also applicable for delivering
other liquids where required to be delivered in equal quantities.

page_text: And in order that my invention may be thoroughly understood, I now proceed
to describe the accompanying drawing thereof, reference being had to letters and
figures marked thereon.
Fig. 1, is an elevation of the flanged bush.
Fig. 2, is an elevation of the nozzle.
Fig. 3, is a view of the flanged bush (shewn by dotted lines) fixed at the end of
a feed pipe inside a tank and the nozzle fixed at the mouth of the feed pipe.
My invention is constructed with a flanged bush a which I fix to the end of a
feed pipe d inside a tank c from which the liquid is being fed, to the mouth of the
said feed pipe d I attach a suitable nozzle 6 preferably by securing it to each pipe
as in Fig. 3.
The hole in the flanged bush a is larger than the hole in the nozzle b thus
regulating the flow of the liquids, and by employing suitable holes in the flanged
bush, and a less hole of suitable size in the nozzle, the flow of liquids can be
thoroughly regulated, so, that if several delivery pipes are employed an equal
quantity of liquid can be delivered through each pipe. The flow may be regulated
by various sized nozzles, the size being determined by experiment, or otherwise.
When the liquid is being fed direct, a double flanged bush may be let into the
delivery pipe and is equally effective as fitting a single flange to the end of the
feed pipe in the tank.
The invention is specially applicable to ice-making plants, as the flow of water
to the ice moulds are in all cases equal, however many pipes are employed, thus
one block of ice can be weighed, and all the other blocks will be of like weight,
but my invention is also applicable for delivering equal quantities of liquids for
various other purposes.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
In an apparatus for regulating the flow of liquids, the combination of the flanged
bush a and the nozzle b with the holes for regulating the flow of liquid, substantially
as herein described and according to the accompanying drawing.
