PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Valves applicable to Beer Engine Taps
and the like.
1, THOMAS HEATH, of 33 Rahere Street, Goswell Road, in the County of
London, Beer Engine Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This invention relates to improvements in valves applicable to beer engine taps
and the like, which consists of an apparatus screwed on to the end of a beer engine
tap to prevent waste or dripping of liquid.
In carrying my invention into practice I form a male thread on the end of the
tap and to the said tap I attach a nozzle or nose piece with a female thread. In
a receptacle formed in the inside or upper portion of the nozzle I place a small
valve with a spiral spring. The valve is formed with a flange and a perforated
cross bar, and in a hole in the centre of the cross bar I attach loosely a pin fixed
to a metal disc and leather washer. On the said pin I pass a spiral spring and fix
the same into position by means of a small cap screwed or riveted to the end of the
centre pin.
The valve is so arranged that when the pull of the beer engine is made by the
pressure of the liquid the valve opens but directly the pressure is removed the
valve closes and thus prevents loss of liquid by dripping.

figures marked thereon.
Fig. i, is a vertical section the valve and male surow on the tan.
Fig. 2, is a plan of the top of the valve.
Fig. 3, is a section on line A. B. of Fig 1.
In carrying my invention into practice I form a male thread a on the end of the
tap b and to the said tap ò I attach a nozzle or nose piece c with a female thread.
In a receptacle formed in the inside or upper portion of the nozzle c I place a

page_text: small valved with a spiral spring e. The valve d is formed with a flange fand a
perforated cross bar g, and in a hole in the centre of the cross bar g I attach loosely
a pin fixed to a metal disc i and leather or india rubber washer j. On the said
pin I pass a spiral spring e and fix the same into position by means of a small
nut screwed to the end of the centre pin.
The valve is so arranged as in Fig. 1, that when the pull of the beer engine is
made by the pressure of the liquid the valve opens but directly the pressure is
removed the valve closes by the action of the spring and thus prevents loss of liquid
by dripping.
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 :-
с
1. In valves applicable to beer engine taps, the combination of the nozzle or nose
piece c valve d spiral spring e flange f cross bar g pin h metal disc i india rubber
or leather washer and nut k with the male screw a on the tap b, substantially
as herein described and according to the accompanying drawing.
2. In valves applicable to beer engine taps, the combination of the various as
illustrated and hereinbefore described in this Specification for the purpose
specified.
Dated this 16th day of August 1895.
