COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Contrivance for Raising Liquids.
We, RICHARD BEESE, of 13, Gluckstrasse, Dresden, Germany, Architect, and
ALBIN PERLICH, of Lauensteinerstrasse, Dresden-Striesen, Germany, Civil
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of our invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:.
-
Our invention has reference to a contrivance for raising liquids, which does its
work simply by airpressure and without the use of valves, plungers or the like.
Our contrivance can be used principally in connection with petroleum-benzine-
naphtha or the like motors, or with vapour lamps, for raising the necessary amount
of liquid into a receptacle, provided with an overflow or waste pipe leading back
into the main reservoir.
The accompanying drawing shows a side view of our contrivance partly in
section.
Within the receptacle or reservoir a to which the outer air has free admittance,
a receptacle b is arranged, serving as air-chamber and communicating with the
reservoir a by means of an orifice c of very small diameter. The angularly bent
pressure pipe opens into the upper part of this receptacle band carries at its
other end a rubber ball i. An air outlet tube k is provided in the said tube d near
the rubber ball.
A pipe f, reaching nearly to the bottom of the receptacle runs out and opens
into the receptacle provided with the overflow pipe g. There being a free circu-
lation of air through the various pipes and receptacles, the liquid in the pipes f
and d will ordinarily be on a level with the liquid contained within the reservoir a.
If the liquid is to be raised from the reservoir a into the receptacle h, the rubber
ball is quickly compressed and air is pressed into the receptacle b. The air outlet k
as well as the orifice e are of such small diameters that only very little air can
escape through the air outlet and very little liquid can be pressed out of the
orifice into the reservoir during the short period of pressure. The air outlet
tube k, besides admitting air into the rubber ball enables the air to escape again
from out of the receptacle after each compression, so that liquid can enter the
receptacle ₺ again through the orifice c. The pressure air will raise the liquid
within pipe and into the receptacle h. The excess liquid drains off through
pipe back into the reservoir a.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is:-
In a contrivance for raising liquids the combination of a reservoir a, the
receptacle arranged within the reservoir a and provided at the bottom with the
small orifice, the pipe d opening into the upper part of the said receptacle 6 and
having an air tube k and carrying at its outer end the rubber ball i and the tube f
