1, GEORGE BRINDLEY of 74, Alma Street Aston near Birmingham in the
County of Warwick Plumber do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
This invention refers to a method whereby I am enabled to produce a tap that
shall be absolutely water tight and for my purpose I mount upon the stem of
the handle portion that passes into the body of the tap an extra or second
washer or valve of leather or other material which is situated above the metal.
disc which carries the ordinary washer or valve, cousequently the metal disc
has a washer above and below its surface & when the tap is open any possibility
of the water rising and escaping through the stuffing box is prevented, the
additional washer or valve acting effectually for this object & entirely sealing
the water way.
Sometimes I may find it advisable to make the second washer or valve of metal
or other suitable material instead of leather or soft substance.
Dated this 24th day of June 1896.

Improvements in High Pressure Taps.
I, GEORGE BRINDLEY of 74 Alma Street Aston near Birmingham in the
County of Warwick Plumber, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement; reference being had to the drawings
accompanying this specification and to the figures and letters shewn thereon:-
Figure 1 represents a sectional elevation of a tap constructed according to my
invention, shewing the valve closed.
Figure 2 represents a part sectional elevation shewing the valve open.
My invention refers to a method whereby I am enabled to produce a tap that
shall be perfectly water tight and for my purpose I fit upon the screwed stem A
of the handle portion B that passes through the stuffing box C into the body of the
tap, an extra or second washer or valve D of leather or other suitable material
which is situated above the metal disc or valve on the upper face thereof E and
below which is the ordinary washer or valve F consequently the metal disc has a
washer or valve above and below it. When the water way of the tap is open the
washer or valve D is brought closely up to the bottom of the stuffing box C as
shewn in Figure 2 and thus prevents any leakage which would otherwise occur
гр... 01

page_text: through defective or insufficient packing, the fact of employing an additional washer
or valve effectually provides against any possibility of the water rising and escaping
through the stuffing box.
Existing taps can be readily fitted with my improved valves at minimum cost.
Sometimes I may find it desirable to make the second or top washer or valve D
of metal or other suitable material instead of leather or other soft substance
according to requirements.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the object and nature of my
said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that
what I claim is :-
In high pressure taps. The application and use of an additional washer or
valve D composed of leather or other suitable material carried by the screwed
stem A of the handle B said washer being located on the upper face of the metal
-disc or valve E, in combination and operating as and for the purpose described and
illustrated in the drawings.
