Improvements in Valves.
I, ALBERT FREDERICK COLE, of Sutton Park Road, Kidderminster, in the
County of Worcester, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion to be as follows:-
My invention relates to improved methods in the construction of pressure
valves specially applicable for use with pneumatic tyres of cycles, auto cars,
carriages and for other like & suitable purposes, and has for its object simplicity,
case of manipulation and efficiency for the purposes intended.
The method in which I carry out my invention as applicable to cycles and
like purposes I will now describe.
In my first modification I construct a cylindrical stem or body piece (and
hereinafter called the stem) which is increased in size to a washer like shape
at its base, the said stem being screwed and provided with washers and nuts
or equivalent means to clamp the air tube of pneumatic tyres and rim of wheel.
Also is formed through stem a passage preferably of smaller diameter at upper
end. A portion of said stem is preferably reduced in diameter and screwed and
the extreme top end of said stem is further reduced in diameter, forming with
the passage described a valve seat for the valve hereinafter to be described. I
next construct a valve containing piece, (hereinafter called the valve container)
open or hollow at its lower end and screwed internally for a portion of its lower
end and corresponding with the screwed portion of the stem last described; a
conical shoulder or valve seat is formed at the upper end of the open or hollow
portion of valve container, and a smaller passage is formed through the remairing
or upper end thereof. The upper end of valve container is screwed externally
for connecting thereto the punip nozzle to inflate air tube (and hereinafter
called the pump connector). Into the valve container I insert a valve or equiva-
lent with an upwardly extending stem, (and hereinafter called the valve prefer-
ably hollow or recessed at the base or lower end and into such recess I insert
a washer or equivalent, its exterior diameter above such recess is preferably made
conical or shouldered to correspond with the valve seat portion of valve container,
the upwardly extending stem of valve passes through and beyond the passage
in upper end of valve container and is preferably flattened or grooved. I next
insert below valve a small spring in valve container preferably in such position
that the valve may be capable of falling a short distance from the valve seat
above the valve before the valve rests on spring when not subjected to air pres-
sure. I also construct a roughened or winged cap or cover (hereinafter called
the cap) screwed internally to correspond with the external screw of pump con-
nector, the upper or closed end of said cap when screwed down, presses down
the said extending portion of valve stem above the top of valve container.
The lower end of stem or body portion being connected to air tube and wheel.
its mode of operation is as follows:-The valve container with valve inserted
is screwed on to the reduced screwed portion of stem, the connection or joint
being made pressure tight by means of a washer. The nozzle of pump is screwed

page_text: on to pump connector (which is sufficiently deep in the bore so as not to inter-
fere with valve stem) and the air tube inflated; the air pressure passing the
Hat portion of valve stem in passage, around and under valve to passage in stem
or body, the air pressure pumped in air tube acting on the underside of valve
prevents back pressure, and the spring described prevents the valve being forced
by the air pressure on to valve seat below on stem. After inflation the cap is
screwed firmly on to the pump connector which presses down or lowers stem
of valve and compresses spring, the underside of valve with washer therein there-
fore presses tightly on raised or upper portion of stem thereby forming a positive
and pressure tight joint. The stem of valve is pressed down slightly when
deflation is desired.
-
In some cases I may reverse or modify the parts described, for instance:-
The washer as described as fitting in valve may be made to fit on or inside stem;
a. washer may be used as a valve or valve seat instead of the shouldered or
conical portion described. The washers described may be made of leather, india-
rubber, paper, soft metal or other suitable material. The valve container may
be screwed into stem, instead of on the outside; the valve container may also
slide or screw into stem or outside stem and shouldered to permit of a socket
passing over same, the said socket being screwed to the stem, I may also form
on stem or valve container stops & slots or equivalent means to prevent the
latter turning round. The spring described may act on the valve stem instead
of below valve. The valve container may be screwed below the pump connector
and the cap screwed on to that portion instead of on the pump connector
scrow, or the cap may be screwed direct on to stem or body portion. A tubular
valve may in some cases be used instead of the valve described.
screw,
In my second form of valve I construct the stem hollow at its upper end and
perforated with a hole at the bottom of hollow portion the sides around the hole
being recessed or deepened thereby forming a raised valve seat, the upper part of
hollow portion is increased in diameter and screwed. I next construct a hollow
gland (hereinafter called the gland) reduced in diameter at its lower end and
screwed externally to correspond with the screwed portion of stem, and increased
in diameter at its upper portion, the extreme lower end I preferably shoulder
to contain a washer inside. The valve portion corresponds to the interior of
gland in shape and fits and slides therein, the lower end of valve portion is
recessed to contain the valve washer, the upper or greater end of valve portion
is made to correspond in size and screwed externally as pump connector before
described, a central passage is formed through to a hole or holes above the valve
washer. In the upper end of valve portion I insert a tube or equivalent con-
taining a valve for preventing back pressure and for deflating purposes. The
lower part of pump connector I slot in one or more places and form stops pegs
or snugs to correspond, to prevent complete withdrawal of valve portion from
gland. The internally screwed cap covers the whole portion described and screws
on to the stem, but in some cases may be screwed to the exterior of gland
instead of stem.
•
The mode of operation is as follows:-The gland and valve portion is screwed
into stem and rendered air tight by the washer therein. The pump nozzle is
screwed on to the pump connector which draws the valve portion up from the
valve seat in stem and air tube is inflated, the secondary valve at upper end pre-
venting back pressure (but allows of deflation by means of the valve stem). The
pump is disconnected and the cap screwed over the valve portion, pressing down
the same firmly on to valve seat forming a positive and air tight joint. The
slots and stops before described prevents the valve portion turning round.
The valve portion may be reduced in diameter and extended through central
hole in stem, a washer or washers in such cases forming the permanent stop
valve, a pin may be inserted through valve portion to prevent same turning
round instead of using slots & stops. The secondary valve instead of being
formed at the upper end of valve portion, may be continued down the whole

page_text: ength of valve portion, and the lower end thereof form the permanent valve
nstead of the lower end of valve portion. A tubular valve may also be used.
n some cases I form a socket over gland and screw same to stem to prevent
land turning round.
Some of the portions may be reversed or modified after the manner described
u my first form and various other modification may be made in each of tho
erein described forms without departing from the nature of this invention.

Improvements in Valves.
1, ALBERT FREDERICK COLE, of Sutton Park Road, Kidderminster, in the
County of Worcester, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained in and by the following statement;
My invention relates to improvements in pressure valves specially applicable
for use with pneumatic tyres of cycles, auto-cars, carriages and for other like
or suitable purposes, and has for its object, simplicity, ease of manipulation
and efficiency for the purposes intended.
I will now describe my invention, by referring to the accompanying drawings.
The same letters of reference indicate the like parts or equivalent portions, in
all the figures.
Figure represents a sectional elevation of my valve of the first form, and
consists of a cylindrical stem or body piece B, (and hereinafter called the stem),
the base thereof being constructed in the usual manner for attachment to the
article to be inflated. Through stem B is formed a passage B', preferably of
smaller diameter at upper end B2. A portion of said stem B is preferably reduced
in diameter, and screwed B, and the top end of stem B above B, is further
reduced in diameter, forming with the passage B2 a raised valve seat 134, for the
valve V, hereinafter to be described. A valve containing piece A, (hereinafter
called the valve container), is made open or hollow at its lower end, and screwed
internally for a portion of its lower end A, and corresponding with the screwed
portion of the stem B3; a conical shoulder or valve seat A, is formed at the
upper end of the open, or hollow portion of valve container A, and a smaller
passage A2, is formed through the remaining or upper end thereof. The upper
end of valve container A, is screwed externally A, for connecting the pump
nozzle thereto for inflating air tube, (and is hereinafter referred to as the "pump
connector). Into the valve container A, I insert a valve or equivalent V, with
an upwardly extending stem V', (and hereinafter called the valve,) preferably
hollow, or recessed at the base or lower end V2, and into such recess V, I insert
a blank, washer, or equivalent W. The exterior diameter of valve V above
recess is preferably made conical or shouldered V, to correspond with the
upper valve seat portion A¹, of valve container A. The upwardly extending
stem of valve V, passes through, and beyond the passage A2, in upper end
of pump connector A, and is preferably flattened or grooved. I insert in valve
container A, below valve V, a coiled spring S, preferably in such position that
the valve V, may be capable of falling a short distance from the valve seating A¹,
above the valve face V, before the valve V rests on spring S, when not subjected
to the air pressure with the air chamber. A roughened or winged cap or
cover C, (hereinafter called the cap.) is screwed internally C', to correspond
with the external screw of pump connector A³. The upper or closed end of

page_text: said cap C, when screwed down on pump connector A³, presses down the extending
portion of valve stem V. In Figure 2, I shoulder the valve container A at A
to limit upward movement of spring S, in order that the valve V may fall a
short distance from the valve seat A¹, before it rests on the spring S; or the
valve may rest on a metal washer S an spring S.
The lower end of stem or body portion B, being connected to air tube and
wheel, its mode of operation is as follows:-The valve container A, with valve V
and spring S inserted, is screwed on to the reduced screwed portion B3 of stem B,
the connection or joint being made pressure tight by means of a washer W.
The nozzle of pump, (which is sufficiently deep in the bore so as not to inter-
fere with valve stem V¹) is screwed on to pump connector A3, and the air tube
inflated, the air being forced past the flat or grooved portion of valve stem V1
in passage A2, around and under valve V, to passage B2 and 131, in stem or
body B. The air pressure, within air tube, acting on the underside of valve V,
prevents back pressure by means of the non return valve face V³, being forced
against its seating A¹. The spring S described prevents the valve face, or
blank W within recess of valve V at V2, being forced (by the air pressure from
pump,) on to the lower valve seat 13 on stem B during inflation. After inflation
the cap C is screwed firmly on to the pump connector A3, the top of C presses
down, or lowers stem V1 of valve V, and compresses spring S; the blank or
washer W contained within recess V2 of valve V, therefore presses tightly on
raised or upper portion B of stem B, thereby forming a positive and pressure
tight joint. The stem V₁ of valve V is pressed down slightly, when deflation is
desired.
In some cases I may reverse or modify the parts described, for instance:-
The blank or washer W, described as fitting in valve V at V2, may be fade to fit
on stem B, Figure 3; or inside stem B, Figure 4. A. washer W, may be used
as a valve, Figure 7; or valve seat A', Figure 8, instead of the shouldered or
conical portions V and A' described, and shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
The valve container A, may be screwed into stem B, Figs. 4, 5 & 6, instead
of on the outside. The valve container A may be screwed into stem B, or out-
side stem B, and shouldered to permit of a socket X, Figure 9 passing over
valve container A, the said socket X being screwed to the stem B. The spring S
described may act on the valve stem V1, Figures 4, 5 and 6, instead of below
or on the valve V as in Figures 1, 2 and 3. The valve container A, may be screwed
below the pump connector screw A³, and the cap C at 02, Fig. 10, screwed on
to that portion A6; instead of on the pump connector screw A³ or the cap C
at C, Fig. 10 may be screwed on to stem or body portion B at B, or socket X
of Figure 9. A tubular valve Figures 11, 12 and 13, may in some cases be
used, instead of the valve V described. Figures 3 to 13 represent in sectional
elevation the manner of carrying out the above modification:-Fig. 3 shows
the valve closed, the cap C, with wings Co, screwed on to pump connector A³;
the washer W is placed within recess B at top of stem B, to form stop valve
seating and the base of valve V recessed to form an annular stop valve face V2:
the spring S is placed above stop valve seat Bs, and extends upwards and sur-
rounds the lower portion of valve V, and raises the stop valve V2 from its
seating B, by means of the valve shoulder on removal of the cap C. Figures 4,5
and 6 represent the valve container A at A5, constructed for screwing inside
stem B at B, (and shown in Figure 4). The valve seating A¹ for valve face V³,
is formed at the base of valve container A; the spring S is also shown sur-
rounding the valve stem V. In Fig. 4, the washer W is recessed within
stem B at B. The spring S and valve V are maintained in position by means
of a pin through valve stem V, and a ring or gland G at base of valve
container A; the said gland G is made conical at A' for the valve face V
Figure 5, the spring S and valve V, are maintained in position by means of a
cover V6, screwed or fastened on V, and forming a shoulder for the spring S
to operate valve stem V. Figure 6, shows the valve stem V with a head at
In

page_text: A
top, and the spring S surrounding the valve stem below head. To the lower
end of valve stem V₁ is screwed, pinned or soldered the valve portions V, V2, V3,
and W. In Figure 7 a washer W, is inserted in a recess in valve V at V³, and
an annular seating formed in valve container A at A', for the non-return valve
portion. In Figure 8, the washer W is inserted in a recess in valve container A
at A; and the valve V at a raised to form the annular face of the non return
valve V Figure 9 shows a socket X formed over the valve container A,
applicable to Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 11; or over gland G of Figures 14
to 23 the said socket X being screwed on to stem B. Figure 10 on the left hand
side, shows the cap Cat C³, screwed on to stem B at B5; and on the right hand
side, shows the cap C at C2, screwed on to valve container A at A. Figure 11
shows a tubular valve V, the edges of tube at V, faces with the flat or shouldered
portion of the valve container A at A. The stem V₁ is headed at base, and is
screwed or fastened within tubular valve V. In Figure 12 the tubular valve V
is reduced in diameter at its lower portion, to form an external shoulder, on
which the spring S may operate, in the manner shown in Fig. 3, and for the
same purposes. In Figure 13, the tubular valve V is closed at base and per-
forated, through which is inserted, and fastened thereto the valve stem VI,
carrying the stop valve portion V². The spring $ herein described and illus-
trated in Figures 1, 2 and 3 may be made conical at base, (or one or more of
the lower coils opened out,) in order that one or more of the lower coils of spring,
may press sufficiently within the screwed threadings of valve container A at A,
to maintain the said spring S, and valve V, in position in the valve container A.
Figure 14 represents a sectional elevation of my valve of the second form,
and consists of a stem or body piece B, hollow at its upper end, and perforated
with a hole 12, at the bottom of hollow portion Bo, the sides around the hole B²,
being recessed or deepened, thereby forming a raised valve seat B. The upper
part of hollow portion above 1º, is increased in diameter and screwed at B³
hollow gland G, (hereinafter called the gland,) has its lower end G¹
screwed externally, to correspond with the screwed portion of stem 1,
and is increased in diameter at its
upper portion G². The extreme
lower end of gland G at G³, I preferably shoulder to contain a washer Wi
inside. The valve portion V, corresponds to the interior of gland G in shape, and
fits and slides therein. The lower end of valve portion V is recessed V2, to
contain the valve blank or washer W. The upper or greater end of valve
portion V, is made to correspond in size and screwed externally to form pump
connector A³. A central passage. H, is formed through to a hole or holes H¹
above the valve washer W. In the upper end of valve portion V, I insert a
tube or equivalent T, containing a valve V, for preventing back pressure;
and for deflating purposes by means of the valve stem V. The lower part of
pump connector A3, or valve portion V, I slot, at 0, & pass a pin 01 through
gland G and slot 0, to prevent complete withdrawal of valve portion V, from
gland G, or of valve portion V turning round. The internally screwed cap C
covers the whole portion described, and screws on to the stem B at B; but in
some cases may be screwed to the exterior of gland G. The washer W2, is
placed in recess in top of gland G, and surrounds the pump connector A³, or
valve portion V, and prevents air from escaping from slot during inflation.
Figure 15, represents the valve open, the washer W is inserted within stem B,
and maintained in position by screwing down of the gland G. The slots 0,
are made on gland G, the pin passes through slots of gland G, and through
a perfortion in valve portion V. In Figure 16 the washer W₁ is external, the
pin passes through valve portion V, and slides within slots in the sides
of gland G. The mode of operation is as follows:-The gland G, and valve
portion V, are screwed into stem B at 13, and joint rendered air tight by the
washer W. The pump nozzle is screwed on to the pump connector A³, which
draws up the valve portion V, from the valve seat in stem B, and air tube
is thep inflated; (the secondary or non-return valve V at upper end preventing

page_text: back pressure and allows of deflation by means of the valve stem V). The
pump is disconnected after inflation, and the cap C screwed on to stem B at B²,
the top or closed portion of cap C, pressing down pump connector A, and valve
portion V, with stop valve V2, firmly on to the valve seating 1, forming a
positive and air tight joint. The slots 0 and pin before described prevent
the valve portion V turning round.
"
The valve portion V in Figure 17 is reduced in diameter Vo, and extended
through central hole 12 in stem B; a washer or washers W and shoulder of
valve at V, forming the permanent stop valve. A pin O' is inserted through
gland G and valve portion V, to prevent the latter turning round, and permit
of the valve portion V being raised on attachment of pump. The secondary
or non return valve V, instead of being formed at the upper end of valve
portion V, may be continued down the whole length of valve portion V.
Figures 18 and 19, and the lower end thereof form the permanent stop valve V2,
instead of the lower end of valve portion V at V². A tubular valve V3, may
also be used as shown in Figures 11, 12 and 13. In some cases I form a
socket X, Figure 9, over gland G, and screw same to stem B, to prevent gland G
turning round; in this case the cap C for closing valve V2, is screwed either
on to the socket X, or on a portion of stem B6 below the socket X. On the
valve portion V may be formed stops or snugs, instead of inserting pegs or
pins therethrough; and on gland G be formed the slots or perforations O, to
permit of the stops snugs or pins to slide within O to prevent complete
withdrawal of valve portion V, or of V turning round, or vice versa, namely,
the pins or pegs ()¹ may be carried through gland G, and the valve portion V,
formed with elongated slots or perforations, to allow of the valve V being drawn
upwards.
Figures 17 to 23 represent in sectional elevation the manner of carrying out
the above modifications of the second form of valve. Figure 17 shown closed,
represents the valve portion V reduced in diameter V, and shouldered at V,
forming with the washer W in stem B, the permanent stop valve, the hole
or holes H2 below valve shoulder V2, slides within washer W; and valve
shoulder V, presses on washer W to close. The slots 0 are formed on valve
portion V, and the pin passes through gland G, and slots 0 in V; the
washer W, within gland G, prevents escape of air therethrough during opera-
tions. When the valve portion V, is drawn up by the pump for inflation, the
hole H is raised above washer W, the air forced down central passage H,
through slots (0), around valve shoulder V2, and through side hole H2, down
passage H, and B' of stem B, to air chamber.
In Figures 18 and 19 the valve stem V, non-return valve V3, and stop valve V2,
are combined, the portion V sliding through gland G, is faced at base A¹, to form
the seating for the upper face of non return valve V. The blank or washer W,
is inserted in recess V2, and a raised seat B3, is formed within stem B. The
pin O, is inserted in perforation of valve containing portion VA, and through
the slotted sides of gland G. A portion of the valve stem V1, carrying
V and V, is slotied or cut away at 02, so that the valve stem V¹, shall have
a slight movement on the pin 0¹. In Figure 18, the washer W is internal,
and in Figure 19, W₁ is external. The attachment of the pump to pump
connector A, draws up the valve containing portion VA through gland G, and
with it the combined valve V and V2, the air on being forced through the valve,
passes down passage H, around non return valve faces A¹ and V, underneatli
stop valve V, and down central passages B2 and 131 to air chamber. The
slight movement of valve stem V, within VA permitted by the slot 0 and
pin 0, allows the non return valve V to be forced up to its seating A by the
air pressure within air chamber, and of deflation by pressing down valve stem V1.
The cap C, on being screwed to stem B, presses down stop valve V2 on to its
seating B', and also presses non-return valve Va on to its seating A¹.
In Figures 20 and 21, the screwing of the gland G at G¹, and the stem B

page_text: at B3 is reversed, and the washer W is within gland G. In Figure 20, the
pin O is carried through gland G, and valve portion V; the slots being
formed on gland G. The washer W₁ is within gland G, and a washer We is
recessed in top of gland G. In Figure 21, the pin is carried through stem B
at B3 and valve portion V, the slots O being formed within, or on stem B at 133;
the pump connector A³ is shown separate to valve portion V, the non-return
valve V3 with stem V₁, being insérted within pump connector A³; and the
upper end of valve portion V is screwed, pegged or otherwise fastened to pump
connector A". An external washer W X, forms the joint between gland Gand
stem B.
In Figure 22, the stem B at 133 is internally slotted or grooved, for the pin (¹
from valve portion V to slide within the slots 0; the recessed valve V2 is
screwed or pinned on valve portion V.
In Figure 23 the stem B is hollow, and within B, is screwed, or otherwise
fastened, another portion, representing 133 slotted at 0; and below the slots 0.
is formed the recess round stop valve seating B, and passages B2 and B. A
washer W, is recessed within gland G at G³, and an external washer W, for
joint between gland G and stem B. The pin O¹, preferably flattened for sliding
within slots in B3, is carried through valve portion V, and the base of gland G,
prevents complete withdrawal of the valve portion V, and the slots 0 in B,
prevent V turning round.
The washers W, W, W, W and W, may be made of leather, rubber, paper,
soft metal, or other suitable material; and in all the forms hereindescribed
and illustrated, the washer W may be inserted either within recess in valve
at 2, or in recess of stem B at B
The valves hereindescribed and illustrated, are constructed to enable the
valve complete to be inserted within air tube, and rim of wheel, without taking
the parts to pieces, and thus avoids damage to the interior parts, or of dust er
dirt so entering therein.
