PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or applicable to Pulsometers.
We JOSEPH LYNN BERRY of 2 Ada Street, Salford, Engineer, and FREDRICK
HAMPSON of Perseverance Glass Works, Duncan Street, Salford, Glass Manu-
facturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our said invention relates to improvements in the appliances for raising water
commonly known as pulsometers in which the alternating condensation of steam in.
the chambers causes a partial vacuum and a consequent rise of water which is
expelled by the re-admission of steam.
According to one part of our said invention we perforate the seatings (or faces
of the valve box against which the reversing valve rests) in such a manner that live
steam is admitted against the valve and thereby accelerates the reversal.
According to another part of our said invention we make the valve box (or part of
the apparatus in which the reversing valve is placed) detachable of taper section
and secure it in position by draw bolts.
According to another part of our said invention we place the air inlet or snifting
valve above the reversing valve where it is not liable to be choked by accumu-
lation of incrustation or deposit from the water as is frequently the case when the
snifting valve or valves are fixed below the reversing valve. The steam is led to
the reversing valve through a nozzle preferably of conical form capable of
adjustment in a vertical direction so that the distance of the orifice of the nozzle
from the aperture through which the steam is blown may be varied. The snifting
valve admits air to the chamber or cavity surrounding the said nozzle so that the
air is injected into the chambers by the steam.

Improvements in or applicable to Pulsometers.
We JOSEPH LYNN BERRY of 2 Ada Street, Salford, Engineer, and FREDRICK
HAMPSON of Perseverance Glass Works, Duncan Street, Salford, Glass Manu-
facturer, 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 :-
Our said invention relates to improvements in the appliances for raising wate
commonly known as pulsometers, in which the alternating condensation of steam
in the chambers causes a partial vacuum and a consequent rise of water which is
expelled by the re-admission of steam.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, which show as much of a pulsometer as
is necessary to explain our said invention,
Fig. 1 is a section.

page_text: In the said drawings 1 is the upper part or body of a
pulsometer, 2 is the
oscillating steam valve, 3 is the valve box against whose facings 4 the valve
alternately rests, 5 is the steam inlet preferably formed as a loose cap.
According to the first part of our said invention we perforate the upper facings
or seatings 4* 4* as shown at 6 in such a manner that live steam is admitted against
the valve and thereby accelerates the reversal thereof.
According to the second part of our said invention we make the valve box 3 of
a taper shape corresponding to taper seatings 7 in the body of the pulsometer in
which it is secured by one or more draw bolts 8. Such a construction permits the
valve box to be readily inserted and withdrawn.
On shoulders a a snifting or air inlet valves of the usual construction are placed.
In our Provisional Specification we made mention of a particular arrangement
of the snifting valve and of the steam inlet to which we now make no claim.
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.
1. The herein described improvements in the steam valves of pulsometers
substantially as and for the purpose set forth and shown.
2. In a pulsometer the combination of an oscillating steam valve with a valve
seating having perforations therein to admit steam against the face of the valve
substantially as and for the purpose set forth and shown.
3. In a pulsometer a valve box of taper section fitting and secured in a corre-
sponding taper chamber or receptacle formed in the body of the pulsometer
substantially as and for the purpose set forth and shown.
4. In a pulsometer an oscillating steam valve having a valve.box perforated at,
its upper part for admitting steam against the face of the valve and constructed of
taper section to fit a corresponding taper part of the pulsometer body and secured
therein by oue or more draw bolts substantially as set forth and shown..
