PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Vent Pegs.
I, EDWIN BARRON, of 39, Esmond Road, in the County of Middlesex, Agent,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements on the vent peg which forms the subject
of my former Patent No. 2813 of 1891 the object of the present improvements
being to simplify the construction and increase the efficiency of the vent peg.
In carrying out my present invention I employ a hollow vent peg made of suitable
material but instead of forming the chamber for receiving the porous material in
the upper part of the vent peg as described in the Specification of my said former
Patent I now form the chamber in the lower part of the peg whereby the lower
end of the peg is prevented from becoming clogged which arrangement enables me
to dispense with the screw or other cap it being now simply necessary to provide
the upper part or head of the peg with one or more perforations for the escape of the
gases generated within the cask and for the inlet of air when the liquor being
drawn from the cask.
I find it advantageous to screw thread the chamber which receives the porous
material such thread helping to keep the porous material in position.

I, EDWIN BARRON, of 39, Esmond Road, in the County of Middlesex, Agent,
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 improvements on the vent peg which forms the subject
of my former Patent No. 2813 of 1891 the object of the present improvements
being to simplify the construction and increase the efficiency of the vent peg.
In order to enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe the same
by reference to, the accompanying drawing, in which :-
Figure 1 is an elevation of a vent peg, constructed. according to the invention,
and,
Figure 2 is a longitudinal section of the same on the line 2-2, Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a similar view to Figure 2 illustrating a slight modification, the
porous material being removed to show clearly its containing chamber.
In carrying out my present invention I employ a hollow vent peg a made of
suitable material but instead of forming the chamber for receiving the porous
material in the upper part of the vent peg as described in the Specification of my
said former Patent I now form the chamber (marked 6 in the drawing) in the lower.
part of the peg a whereby the lower end of the peg is prevented from becoming
clogged; which arrangement enables me to dispense with the screw or other cap,
it being now simply necessary to provide the upper part or head of the peg with
one or more perforations c for the escape of the gases generated within the cask

Figures 1 and 2 the perforations c are shewn in the periphery of the top of the
peg while in Figure 3 the perforation forms a continuation of the hollow of
the peg
I find it advantageous to screw thread, as shewn, the chamber 6 which receives
the porous material d such thread helping to keep the porous material in position.
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 —
The manufacture and use of the improved vent pegs hereinbefore described and
illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
