To all whom ¿t may concern:
In the said drawings, a a represent an outer

the filter is connected by a suitable union
cessible for cleaning or otherwise.
A further object of my invention is to pro
connection bsto a three-way valve or cock c.
This cock c is provided at one end with the
said filter, and b2 an outlet. ' The outlet b2 of
