Mechanism in Connection therewith.
We JULIEN DAVIS SOLOMON of 6 Albion Buildings City of London Gentleman
and JAMES EDWIN THORPE 35 Fetter Lane City of London Engineer do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A tap or cock to measure and deliver given quantities of liquid the same working
a registering indicator connected to a double lock regulating lever balance delivery.
The cock is screwed into a tank or barrel containing the liquid the plug of the cock
is bored out to hold the required quantity and having an inlet from the tank is then
filled.
Bolt handle lever, or push attached to the handle of the cock is moved inwards or
otherwise turning the plug of the cock one fifth of its diameter closes the porthole of
inlet from the tank, or otherwise, delivers the measured quantity to tho outlet of the
cock-to both inlet, and ontlet air pipes are fitted.
Two spring ratchets are fixed on the handle of the cock one being the driving.
power, the other ratchet is connected to the Indicator-registers the delivery every
time the bolt handle lever, or push is pressed or otherwise against the handle of
the cock registering from one to one hundred thousand on the five dials of the
Indicator.
Regulating lever balance, is fixed on an ironplate working on a pin centre, the
balance being regulated by a sliding weight with screw adjusting the weight of any
coin, and locked to the iron plate by a boltlock. Bolt handle lever, or push is worked
by a piston or bolt on which is fixed a pivot or pin which is locked in the plate of the
regulating lever balance, on which the action of a coin passing through a slot down a
money way releases the regulating lever balance, and frees the bolt handle lever, or
push, causing same to work the handle of the cock and delivering the measured
quantity to the outlet of the cock, recording the same on the Indicator-returning
automatically, by the action of a spiral spring locking the regulating lever balance,
and the bolt handle lever, or push to the iron plate of lever balance.
Dated this 14th day of March 1888.

Mechanism in Connection therewith.
We JULIEN DAVIS SOLOMON of 6 Albion Buildings Gentleman and JAMES EDWIN
THORPE of 35 Fetter Lane, Engineer, both in the City of London 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 :-
The object of this invention is to provide a means whereby on payment of a coin
by inserting the same into the apparatus and operating a rod or handle a definito
quantity of liquid is obtained in exchange for such coin or its equivalent.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 sheet 1 represents a section of an apparatus
constructed according to our invention to deliver two different kinds of liquid shewing
mechanism viewed from the back. Figure 2 is plan of same with cover removed.
Figure 3 sheet 2 cross section of same shewing side elevation of mechanism. Figures 4,,
5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 sheet 2 are details hereafter referred to. The same letters denote
the same parts in all the figures.
According to this invention to a suitable reservoir A we fit taps or cocks B. B
having hollow plugs C constructed to hold a definite quantity of liquid. Figure 8
shows a section of such a plug to a larger scale. Attached to the plugs C are lever
arms D connected to the pushes or rods E which project outside the casing of the
apparatus and terminate in a knob or button F. To the cocks B. B are connected by
the V shaped rods G counting trains H registering from 1 to 10,000 or more to
indicate the number of times the apparatus has delivered liquid, this counting train is
worked by means of pin in the lever arms D which engage with slots in discs K
having pawls L attached thereto, the pawls operate double ratchets M (shewn in
detail at Figures 6 and 7) whereof the ratchet and pawl L serve to move forward the
counting trains H and the pawl L' attached to the disc K₁ holds the same in
position while the pawl L is moved backwards to engage with another tooth of the
ratchet M.
The disc K¹ is firmly attached to the frame N of the counting train and the disc K
oscillates on the bearing O formed on the ratchet M. The plugs Care made hollow
as shewn in section at Figure 8 sheet 2 and are pierced with holes a b c d, a is the
hole communicating with the supply reservoir, hole to allow liquid to run out for
delivering same, e air inlet when delivering liquid, d air outlet when plug is filling
at which time the hole d opens a communication between the plug and the air
pipe P
The delivery mechanism is locked by means of the pin or bolt Qattached to the
pushes or rods E which engages with a slot R in the balance lever S (shewn enlarged
in Figures 9 and 10) which lever is pivoted at T a second slot U in the lever engages
with a stationary bolt V attached to the plate X. Y is a balance weight and Z the
coin holder.

page_text: The action of the apparatus is as follows, on placing a coin or its equivalent in the
slot e it falls down the shoot into the coin holder Z and is retained by the inclined
portion thereof and the portion g of the plate X, the weight of the coin depresses the
holder Z and lifts the lever S clear of the bolts and on pushing the knob or button F
the plug C of the cock B is partly rotated thereby allowing the liquid contained
therein to flow out down the delivery tube h to the purchaser, the counting train
registers the movement of the plug the bolt or pin Q during the latter portion of
its travel engages with the inclined plane i on the balance lever S and raises the same
still higher thereby allowing the coin to fall into a receptacle underneath. j is a
spiral spring for bringing the plug to the supply position.
In order to prevent the coin being shaken out of the holder by rough usage or the
like we fit a light spring to the same and we also in some cases fit a spring to the
holder so that coins or the like heavier than those desired bend the spring and fall
through.
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 :-
1st. In measuring cocks and automatic coin freed mechanism connected therewith,
the balance lever S having slots R and U therein and the coin holder Z and inclined
plane i attached thereto in combination with the bolts Q and V as and for the purpose
specified.
2nd. The combination of the measuring cock having a hollow plug with a balance
lever and locking bolts substantially as described.
3rd. The combination with a measuring cock and locking apparatus of the counting
train operated by the ratchets and pawls substantially as described.
4th. The improved apparatus substantially as described with reference to the
accompanying drawings and operating as and for the purpose specified.
Dated this Eighth day of June 1888.
