Patent GB-190623572-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Cocks
Filed: 1906-10-23
Granted: 1907-03-07
Abstract: 23,572. Kistinger, E., and Deutsche Steinzeugwaaren-fabrik f³r Canalisation & Chemische Industrie. Oct. 23. Plug cocks.-In plug cocks made of earthenware &c. and serving mainly for the passage of acid, the appliance by which the plug is pressed on its seat is rendered adaptable for various sizes of cock. The lower end of the plug b bears against a plate c, to protect the plug from injury when a blow is given to it to loosen it in its seat. The plug is pressed upon by an adjustable screw e passing through a diaphragm o forming the lower end of a funnel d, which is connected by the tube f, vessel g, and bore i with the passage through the cock casing. When the cock is used with acids, a neutral liquid is placed in the vessel g so that the acid when it rises up into the vessel may not act on the cast-iron pipes. The pressure of the liquid to be drawn off is transmitted through the neutral liquid to the diaphragm o and thence to the plug, thereby balancing the pressure on the latter and enabling it to be easily turned. A bracket m aids in supporting the appliance, and both it and the vessel are secured to the cock by clamps n, l fastened by screws, so that the whole appliance is readily removable for use with any other vessel which may have a cock of different size.
