Description
UNTTED sTATEs PATENT oEEicE.
A. I. SVEENEY, OF WHEELING, VIRGINIA.
WATER-METER.
Speccation of Letters Patent No. 14,525, dated March 25, 1856.
y To all wwm t may concern:
Be it known that I, ANDREW I. SWEENEY, ol. Wheeling, in the county of Ohio and State of Virginia, have invented a new and useful Machine for Measuring lVater and other Fluid; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and eXact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the anneXed drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a longitudinal section. Fig. 2 is a transverse section at the center; Fig. 3 a ground plan of the seat.
Two similar cylinders A A of any capacity are held together by bolts through lugs or lianges on each, having interposed between them, a cylindrical piece, which contains within itself induction and eduction ports B, C, and D, and a diaphragm separating the contents of the two cylinders, and upon which is a stuliing box E, for packing around a piston rod. The rod passes through both cylinders and the cen'- ter head; and has upon it, secured hy nuts or otherwise, within each cylinder a piston, which may be constructed in any ordinary way; in the model of drawing they are made by the insertion of disks of leather between plain flanges, said disks being cut too large, so as to bend inward around the inside of the cylinders, making a very close packing.
The piston rod has on one end a slot or link F, to change the position of the weighted lever Gr which is hinged on an arm H attached to the lower side of one of the cylinders and plays in a slotted piece I, attached to the upper side. of the same cylinder, forming a rest for the lever at either end when it falls either way, after being pulled or pushed to a vertical position by the slot F, on the piston rod. The lever in its fall strikes o-n either end (as the case may be) of another slot on the end of the valve rod K and opens and closes the ports B, and D, allowing the cylinders to lill and discharge alternately.
A register may be attached in any ordinary way to show the number of strokes of the machine, and consequently the quantity of fluid or water which has passed through.
Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The combination of two cylinders and two pistons with one head, common to both,
having the ports thereto attached as herein described forming a cheap and effective meter, with but little liability to get out of order.
\ A. I. SWEENEY.
