An Improved Spout or Nozzle for Beer and like Engines.
Year: 1899

page_text: I, WILLIAM OLIVER, of 391E, Mile End Road, in the County of London, Manu-
facturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention is designed to prevent dripping from the spouts or nozzles of
beer engines and the like.
According to this invention I make the spout or nozzle so that it may easily
be attached to and detached from the outlet pipe from the engine, in place of the
ordinary spout or nozzle. This I may effect by screwing the said spout or nozzle
on to or in to the pipe.
The spout or nozzle I construct as follows:
In the upper part of the spout near its joint with the outlet pipe, I form an
internal flange on which rests a washer or ring to which is attached a nipple
carrying at its lower end a valve which I prefer to construct by connecting two
flat pieces of india rubber together at their sides.
The spout or nozzle extends' downwards so as to act as a shield for the valve.
An Improved Spout or Nozzle for Beer and like Engines.
I, WILLIAM OLIVER, of Romford Villa, Murchison Road, Leyton, in the County
of Essex formerly residing at 391E, Mile End Road, in the County of London-
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 is designed to prevent dripping from the spouts or nozzles of
beer engines and the like.
According to this invention I make the spout or nozzle so that it may easily
be attached to and detached from the outlet pipe from the engine, in place of the
ordinary spout or nozzle.
This I may effect by screwing the said spout or nozzle on to or into the pipe.
And in order that my said invention may be more clearly understood, I will
now proceed to describe the same with reference to the drawings accompanying
027

page_text: this specification, in which Figure 1 shews detachable nozzle in section, fitted to
the end of outlet pipe. In this view the nozzle screws on to the pipe.
Fig. 2 shews section of modified form-a piece a being screwed into the pipe
and into the nozzle.
Figure 3 shews another form in plan. In this case the nozzle embraces the
pipe, and is secured by screws b.
In the upper part of the spout c, near its joint with the outlet pipe d, I form
an internal flange or shoulder e, on which rests a washer or ring f. To this
washer or ring f is attached a nipple or short piece of tube provided at its other
end with an external beading & (Fig. 1). To this nipple I attach, preferably by
wiring, a valve m, which I prefer to construct by connecting two flat pieces of
india rubber together at their sides.
As the above nozzle or spout only prevents drip at the completion of the dis-
charge stroke of the engine, I prefer to employ it in conjunction with a former
invention for which I obtained Letters Patent No. 1537 bearing date the
23rd January 1899.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said in-
vention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:
1. The improved spout or nozzle for beer or like engines substantially as set
forth.
2. Providing spouts or nozzles of beer or like engines with a ring to which is
fitted a valve, such as that described, substantially as and for the purpose set
forth.
