page_text: A Combined Stopper and Draw-off Tap.
I, HENRY GEORGE DANIEL FRENCHI, of Chandos Villa, Priory Road, Knowle,
Bristol, Commercial Traveller, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows: —
This invention consists of a revolving valve, running through a screw-stopper,
(which may be made of stone, wood, ebonite, brass or any other material), which
may be fixed to the side of a jar or other vessel, and moved to any desired
position after the said stopper has been fixed to the jar or other vessel, so that
no extra washers are required to bring the valve into position for drawing off
liquids in any desired quantities by pressing the said valve backward so that the
liquid is allowed to flow freely through the channel in the said valve and no leak-
age is possible as a washer is attached to the said valve on the outside which is
compressed to the stopper, when open, but as soon as it is released the liquid is
checked by the said valve being brought to its original position by a spring acting
around the said valve and a washer attached to the inner portion of the said valve
covering the inner outlet.
A Combined Stopper and Draw-off Tap.
I, HENRY GEORGE DANIEL FRENCH, of Chandos Villa, Priory Road, Knowle,
Bristol, Commercial Traveller, 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 consists of a revolving valve, running through a screw stopper,
which may be made of stone, wood, ebonite, brass, or any other material, and
fixed to the side of a jar, or other vessel, and moved to any desired position, after
the said stopper has been fixed, so that no extra washers are required to bring
the valve into position for drawing off liquids in any desired quantities by press-
ing the valve backward, so that the liquid is allowed to flow freely through the
channel in the valve, and no leakage is possible as washers are attached around
the valve, which are compressed to a groove in the centre of the stopper, when
open, but as soon as it is released the liquid is checked by the said valve being
brought to its original position, by a spring acting around the said valve, and
a washer attached to the inner portion of the valve covering the inner outlet.

page_text: Referring to the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 represents the tap shut off,
and Fig. 2 shows the tap open with the valve A pressed tightly against the
stopper B thus tightening the spring C against the washers D and Facting
inside the said stopper B thus allowing the liquid to flow freely through the
said valve, but as soon as the said valve A is released the flow is shut off, and
the washer E on the inner outlet presses firmly against the inner end of the
stopper B and thus prevents any leakage from the jar, or like vessel.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
A revolving valve running through any stopper, which may be attached to
jars, or like vessels, having an outlet at each end, and a spring bearing against
washers inside the said stopper, and a washer on the inner end of the said
revolving valve, which may be made to fit any size stoppers.
