Liquid Meter
A patent for a liquid meter, filed in the U. S. Patent Office, Washington, D. C., was granted to Charles P. Blachly, of Detroit. Mich. It is numbered 1,178,900 and the specifications state the invention relates to means for measuring water, fuel and illuminating oils, and other liquids, and its object is to provide a simple, effective and reliable meter which can be cheaply constructed, and which will operate under pressure and under the least favorable conditions. This invention consists, in combination with a measuring chamber, of a pair of connected valves for controlling the passage of the liquid into and out of the measuring chamber, of a pair of floats for moving said valves, and means connected to said floats whereby each float prevents the operation of the other float until the liquid in the measuring chamber has reached one or the other of two predetermined levels. It further consists, in combination with the above mechanism, of a storage chamber into which the contents of the measuring chamber may be discharged, means being provided for insuring the pressure remaining the same in both chambers. In the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 is a vertical section on the line 1—1 of Fig. 3. Fig. 2 is a perspective of the controlling levers. Fig. 3 is a bottom plan of the instrument on a somewhat smaller scale.
