PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved System for Taking Out the Solids of Crude Sewage and
Trade Effluent before Turning On to the Filter Beds.
JOHN THOMAS, Engineer, Ramsden Street, Littletown, Liversedge, SAM
CHARLESWORTH, Joiner and Builder, Albert Terrace, Littletown, Liversedge,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
No. 1. The first part is an automatic skimmer a shallow vessel with which the
skum is taken off. No. 2. Our next part of the process is some separaters or
dividers which are fixed at alteranate angles forming a circle in the receiving
channel. No. 3 the third part is a hole at the bottom of the receiving channel
4 feet by 3 feet as the case may require the bottom of this hole is made of
glass, also at a fall of 12 inches to 1 yard falling towards the cell. No. 4. the
fourth part is an iron door hinged on one end to shut off the opening when
required to move with a screw to any height so as to catch ther solids in the
opening and the light sewage to pass over the top. No. 5. the fifth part is a
set of elevators which are worked by means of a chain. Attached to the chain
is a set of perforated scoops for taking out the solids at the bottom of the cell.
No. 6. The sixth part is an automatic delivery spout which receives the solids
from the perforated scoops.
No. 7. The seventh part is a tank which receives the effluent from the receiv
ing channel as mentioned in No. 2. The effluent is received in this tank over
the edge and passes under a partition slightly at an angle which now proceeds
over a sheet of glass over the edge. It flows in a thin sheet for aeration to the
filter beds.

We, JOHN THOMAS, Ramsden Street, Littletown, Engineer, and SAM.
CHARLESWORTH, Joiner and Builder, Littletown, Liversedge, both in the County
of York, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
Price R77

page_text: same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement:-
An improved system for taking out the solids of crude sewage and trade
effluent before turning on to the filter beds or into the stream as the principle
and action of our improved apparatus and appliance is the same in whatever
kind of sewage or trade effluent it may be the object of our machine of this
description is to separate the heavier particles from the light.
Fig. 1 is a section on C D.
b is a by pass for conveying floating matter into the cell c.
บ is a penstock for shutting off the by pass when required.
dddd are dividers or separaters of suitable shape and material for con-
veying the solids to the bottom of the channel and may be fixed at an angle or
be made adjustable.
e is an opening at the bottom of the receiving channel which faces towards
the centre of the cell, the surface of which is made preferably of glass or other
glazed material.
f is a door preferably made adjustable so as to guide the solids into the open-
ing e and to allow the lighter sewage to pass over it. This door may be used
to shut off the sewage from the cell when required.
9 9 9 9 are perforated buckets or scoops for taking out the solids from the
cell and elevating them to the carrier h.
ii and jjjj are the carriers for the buckets or scoops and are preferably
chains and chain wheels.
kk are shafts for driving the scoops or buckets.
"
The sewage flows in at A. The skimmer "a takes off the floating matter
and conducts it along the by-pass b, into the cell c. The main portion of the
sewage passes along the channel B, Fig. 3. The dividers or separators, d,
conduct the solid matter to the bottom. The door, f, further separates the
remaing solids from the liquid, the solids falling to the bottom and the liquid
flowing over the top of the door. The carriers i, i, j, j, and buckets g, g, are
used for removing the solid matter from the cell c.
1, 1, 1, 1, are supports for the top driving shaft k.
Having now particularly described the nature of our said invention, and the
manner in which the same is to be applied, we declare that what we claim is:-
-
An apparatus for separating the solids from the liquid, in sewage and other
trade effluent, the arrangement and combination of parts and appliances con-
sisting of, a skimmer for taking off floating matter, a by pass for receiving
floating matter and directing it to the solids receiving cell, a number of separaters
to guide solids to the bottom of the channel, an opening for admitting solids
to the cell, a door at an angle for guiding solids to the cell and also to take clear
sewage off at the top, an elevator for bringing solids up from the cell, and dis-
charging them on to the carrier, all arrange substantially as, and for the pur-
pose shown and described.
