GEORGE FISHER BELLING Surgeon Dentist, 2 Manor Park Road Manor Park Essex
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The said Tap is made in brass, gunmetal or any other suitable metal, in two parts
joined together by flanges and screws this being necessary to get at the valve to
renew the washer when required the said valve being in rear of valve seat instead of
as in the ordinary High pressure Tap the valve of which is in front of said seat the
said seat being placed in the end of the front part of said tap next to where the two
parts are screwed together the said valve being worked by a screw bar from the front
of tap, contrary to the ordinary High pressure Tap to open the said valve the bar has
to be screwed inwards which forces the said valve backwards and allows the water to
pass over the valve and through the valve seat and out to close it reverse the action
which will draw the valve to the seat aided by the pressure of the water closing it
the said bar and valve being in one piece does away with one element or chance of its
getting out of order, on the end of said bar which protrudes through the front of tap
is attached the handle for turning said bar, the said handle being made to take off so
that the said bar can be taken out to allow of the new washer being put on.

page_text: GEORGE FISHER BELLING, Surgeon Dentist Manor Park Road, Manor Park, County
of Essex, 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 :-
The said invention consists of a tap in which the water way of said tap is opened
and closed by a valve which is forced back and brought forward by a screw rod of
which the said valve is a part, at one end of said rod the handle is attached by a screw
or pin.
The body of said tap is composed of two parts screwed together see Fig. 1 letter L.
Part A Fig. 2 being the inlet pipe, part B fig. 3 the outlet pipe and packing box
letter C. it will be seen by refering to Fig. I that the Valve E is in rear of seat of
Valve letter G Fig. 1 which is contrary to the high pressure taps now in
use, the
said Valve letter E Fig. 1 is worked direct from the front of said tap by the handle
letter I Fig. 1 and rod D Fig. 1 the said rod letter D having a left handed screw
letter F Fig. 1 and 5 which facilitates its use and avoids mistakes which would arise
in having a right handed screw, the left handed screw allowing the valve letter E
Fig. 1 to be opened and shut by the handle letter I fig. 1 and 6 being turned the
same way as the old taps. To open the said valve E Fig. 1 the handle letter I fig. 1
should be turned to the left which forces the valve letter E fig. 1 back which allows
the water to flow over the valve letter E fig. 1 and out through the exit pipe letter B
fig. 1 and 3, to close it reverse the handle letter I fig. 1 which draws the Valve letter E
Fig. 1 home closing the outlet. To prevent leakage around the rod letter D Fig. 1
when the valve letter I is open it is necessary to screw cap letter H fig. 4 and 1 down
on packing which has the desired effect.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I wish it to be
understood that I do not limit myself to the precise details herin described and repre-
sented in the accompanying drawings as the same may be varied without departing
from the said invention, I declare that what I claim is
1st. As the said invention a tap or Stop Cock in which the Valve letter E fig. 1 is
brought to its place by the rod D fig. 1.
2nd. That the valve E fig. 1 and 5 and Rod D fig. 1 and 5 being in one piece
allows the said valve E being brought home with greater certainty and less wear to
the washer, letter J fig. 1.
3rd. That the said Valve E fig. 1 does not require so much force to close it on
account of the said Valve E being in rear of Valve seat.
Dated this 24th day of November 1887.
GEORGE FISHER BELLING.
