It continues to be safe even though these parts are broken off while the gage is fully extended. If sliptube customer desires less than the full charge of a tank of fuel, the predetermined sliptube to which the liquid is to be supplied may ;be ascertained by consulting a previously prepared chart which reveals the contents of the tank, sliptube, inch by inch, and for fractional parts of an inch, sliptube.

John R. Homer, Shreveport, La. This invention has vto do with a device for'in'dieating the level of liquid in a pressure vessel, and for determining the gas-filled space 'above such liquid, commonly called outage space. It is particularly useful in determining the quantum and character of the contents of a tank containing liquefied petroleum gas fuels, such as butane and the like. Grages have been used which are unsafe, 'delicate and easily damaged. For example, themagnetic float type gage is such a device. The iioat may leak, the gears become inaccurate, and 'foreign materials cause the magnetic Vneedle to stick, especially if the glass cover is broken. Another gage which gave trouble and frequently leaked is the old-fashioned slipetube gage; and as heretofore constructed it discharged too much fluid from the tank while it was being read; and there was no way to prevent occasional or continued leaks around the slip-tube itself, even though packing was used. This gage did 'not answer the need for safety, so ever ,present in the handling and gaging of liquefied petroleum gases. Then the tube itself would be expelled entirely from the tank, leaving an open hole through which the explosive fluid would be discharged to the atmosphere, causing fires and great damage to property, with occasional loss of life.

Sliptube

March 20, H. In one aspect, it relates to apparatus for gauging liquefied petroleum gas in transport truck tanks. When filling tanks of transport trucks with liquefied petroleum gas LP-Gas current practice for gauging such tanks is to use a roto-gauge for determination of deliveries to the truck tank. Roto-gauges are often damaged through vibration and shock resulting from travel over roads and highways and thus become inaccurate.

It is to be noted that the stop ring 25 is so constructed and arranged that the gasket 2B, which is supported on the upper face of the ring, will in fact press against, impinge and contact the annular projection on the lower face of housing 4, so that, when the slip tube is extended up- B wardly to its fxnost elevated position. The upper part of packing nut 8 is turned inwardly to form a rim I5, having therein one or more slots I a, so that dogs I6 carriedby tube head II may be pressed downwardly through these slots and turned slightly to be engaged by the over-hanging rim I5, and thus lock the tube in place so that it cannot slip upwardly through the gage head 2. This nut extends part way down into a packing well or space 9, lled with packing Iii. Through this orifice there will come just suii'icient fluid to allow accurate reading of the gage. It prevents fires, explosions and wastage; and it still contiuues to be a safe gage if its top-most parts are broken off. By han-d the operator slides the gage up or down in the gage head until the lower part of the gage is held at the required level. This head is provided with hexagonal shoulders 3, spaced intermediate its ends; and the lower end of the head below the shoulders is provided with threads 4 for screwing it into suitable opening in the tank. Above the shoulders on the head is an upper extension of the body threaded both inside and outside. When this nut is firmly made up it will also hold the Vpacking in place. And this channel is also made suiiiciently large to allow the occasion-al cleaning thereof with a rod and swab. The remaining ninety per cent 4of the tank is lled with liquid fuel, when the tank is recharged or serviced; and this ninety per cent left represents the maximum liquid capacity oi the tank.

III is a sectionalized elevation of al1 of the parts of the gage, severally and in order, except only that the tube itself is not shown in this iigure. It insures leaving an outage space r. The upper part of packing nut 8 is turned inwardly to form a rim I5, having therein one or more slots I a, so that dogs I6 carriedby tube head II may be pressed downwardly through these slots and turned slightly to be engaged by the over-hanging rim I5, and thus lock the tube in place so that it cannot slip upwardly through the gage head 2. The tank is then filled to the required level which will indicate the gallonage delivered. Add to Cart. Another gage which gave trouble and frequently leaked is the old-fashioned slipetube gage; and as heretofore constructed it discharged too much fluid from the tank while it was being read; and there was no way to prevent occasional or continued leaks around the slip-tube itself, even though packing was used. A further object is to. By han-d the operator slides the gage up or down in the gage head until the lower part of the gage is held at the required level. It is leak proof and allows cleaning and repacking of its exposed parts and mechanism while the storage tank is in operation. Even if the discharge from opening 22 were ignited, the ame would be so extremely small that it could be smothered with ones hand without any injury vto the person. And this channel is also made suiiiciently large to allow the occasion-al cleaning thereof with a rod and swab.
