mummies-mm To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, O'rro zen of the United States, York, countv' of New York; and State of New York. have invented new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for Mixing and Distributing'Liquids of which the follow ing is a specification. I

v This invention relates to an apparatus for distributing a solution, and it includes a tank having a plurality of compartments for thoroughly and evenly saturating substance with a fluid, and capillai means for drawing minute quantities oi e fluid from the tank.

The object of the-invention is to provide the tank with a series of partitions of less height than the outer walls forming a numher ofpassages, so that when a concentrated acid solution or powder is placed in a cornpartment it will be thoroughly diluted be" fore it overflows into the last compartment The invention is more fully described in the: following specification and claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which:

Figure 1 represents a paratus embodying this invention showing some of the parts removed. Fig. 2 transverse section of the same on a lar scale. Fig. 3 is a front elevation of Fi In this drawing the letter a designates a tank which is preferably constructed of wood, suitable to hold a liquid, and can be lined with an acid resisting substance. The the tank are fastened together by means of brass screws 5 best seen in Fig. A number of longitudinal partitions c and cl divide the interior of the tank into a, plurality of compartments 2, f and The compartments 6 and 7 respectively comma nicate with each other by openings ii located at each end of the partition 0. The coin-- partment'e is adapted to receive the liquid introduced by a pipe 2' connected to a reser voir or other source of supply. The flow of the liquid into the compartment is con trolled by a valve 9''.

The partitions c and al are respectively of smaller height than the rear wall of the tank as indicated in Fig. 2, that'when the solution reaches the top of the partition d it will flow over the partition into the suc needing compartment. The longitw specification of Letters Patent.

The front wall has secured to i it a series of solution distributing lead tubes in each having an open front portion'm extending over the top and down the inside'of the front wall ofthe tank. tion of each pipe is formed with a gutter or channel a the object of which will be hereinafter described. v i v bar or beam 0 ismounted on the end walls of the tank and extends longitudinally 70 along the top over one of the partitions. A series of wicks or othe capillary devices 70' are suspended from holding devices 9' attached to the bar.

1. An apparatus for mixing liquids fcomprising a tank. adapted to contain a solution, and having a front wall of less height than its other walls, a plurality of'partn tions of less height than the front wall to divide the tank into a number of inents, one partition having openings connecting adjacent compartments, capillary. means arranged over the front wall and suspendedv into the liquid for drawing ofi minute quantities of the solution. 1 2. An apparatus for mixing liquids comprising a tank adapted to contain a solution, and having a longitudinhl front wall-of less height than its other walls, a plurality of. longitudinal partitions of less height than- 9 the front wall to divide the tank into a. number of compartments, one partition having an opening at each end connecting adjacent compartments, capillary means ar The upper por- 65 compart- 9 quantities of solution.

An apparatus for mixing liquids comprising a tank adapted to contain a solution,

and having a longitudinal front wall of less height than its other walls,'a plurality of longitudinal partitions of less heightthan the front wall to divide the tank into; a

number of compartments, gutters provided.

with tubes secured to thd front wall, capillary means projecting into the tubes over the front wall from the gutter and suspended into the liquid for drawing 01f minute quantities of the solution.

l. An apparatus for mixing liquids comprising a tank adapted to contain a liquid solution, and having a front longitudinal wall of lower height than its other walls, a plurality of compartments located in the tank, liquid distributing tubes including gutters secured to the front longitudinal wall, a bar arranged above the compartments, capillary means suspended from the bar into the liquid and guided to the gutters into the tub es.

5. An apparatus for mixing liquids comprising a tank adapted to contain a solu" tion, and having a front longitudinal wall of lower height'than its other walls, a plurality of partitions of smaller height than the front wall for dividing the tank into a series of compartments, liquid distributing tubes provided with gutters disposed on the front longitudinal wall, a bar arranged above the compartments, capillary means suspended from the bar intothe liquid and guided to the gutters into the tubes.

. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
