An Improved Water Discharge Tap.
I, HEINRICH BURKLI, of 29, Romergasse, Basle, in the Republic of Switzerland,
Cooking Stove Manufacturer, 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:-
This invention relates to an improved water tap and an example of the same is
shown in the accompanying drawings, Figures 1 and 1 being elevations of the
water tap and its nozzle respectively, Figures 2 and 24 vertical sections respectively.
of the tap closed and open, and Figure 1" a separate view of the supporting rosette.
As may be seen in these figures, the water tap consists of a cock casing A and
a nozzle B movably arranged therein. The cock casing A is composed of an
inflow or inlet pipe a provided at both ends with external threads g and g² and
a case or socket 6 preferably screwed and soldered thereto (see Figures 2 and 2").
The cock nozzle B consists of a head piece c, Figure 2, provided with washer
rings and an internal thread h, and a discharge cone e screwed to the said head
piece. Between the head piece c and the discharge cone or tapering nozzle e a
supporting rosette f (Figure 1") is firmly clamped. A spindle & rests loosely in
the said rosette and is provided with a washer cap . The head piece
c of the
nozzle B is movable in the case or socket b of the cock case A and is screwed with
its internal thread h on the external thread g2 of the part of the inflow pipe a
freely projecting into the case or socket b, the turning of the said piece being
effected by means of the studs or knobs m arranged at the sides of the tapering
nozzle or screwed cone e.
By turning the part B in a suitable direction, the washer cap is pressed against
the mouth n of the inflow pipe a, and the tap is closed, Figure 2. By a slight
turning in the opposite direction the mouth n is opened and then the tap is open.
A too strong an opening of the tap or unscrewing of the nozzle is prevented by
means of a screw s arranged in the case b.
The arrangement herein before described thus enables the tap to be opened
and closed by a very small turning of the nozzle and at the same time secures a
permanent watertight closing.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:.
A water discharge tap, characterized by an inflow pipe being arranged in a
case or socket to freely project therein and having its mouth provided with an
external thread to receive a hollow pipe or nozzle mounted in the said case or
socket and provided with an internal screw thread to engage the threaded end
of the inflow pipe, said nozzle having a spindle in its interior carrying a washer

the purpose of closing the tap whereby the spindle contained in the said nozzle
is pressed with its washer cap firmly on the inflow pipe, substantially as herein-
before described.
