IMPROVEMENTS IN VALVES COCKS OR TAPS
Year: 1884

Finisher do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
VALVES COCKS OR TAPS to be as follows:-
My invention consists of a lift valve or tap which can be applied to high or low
pressures either for steam or hot or cold water.
The valve consists of a plug or spindle the end of said plug or spindle being
square or other suitable shape to effect the object in view.
The end of the spindle or plug is fitted into a screw the hole in the centre of the
screw being cast or bored out to any suitable shape so that when the fan or handle
attached to the plug is moved in the box there is no pressure from the screw.
The plug or spindle is held down shouldered in the top of box by a screw in the
side or other part of the box which bears against a ring formed in the spindle or
plug so that when the fan of plug is turned the screw which fits the end of the
plug moves up or down in its box and carries a valve which has a loose circular
motion and is attached to the screw in this manner-A small screw is let through
the end of screw at the end of spindle or plug and the end of the screw forms a
shoulder and is attached through the bottom to a valve so that the valve has
a circular movement but has no movement upwards or downwards unless being
carried away from the seating by the fan of plug or spindle being turned. The
valve is either ground in the seating or has a surface of suitable substance as in
ordinary valves.

Finisher do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
VALVES COCKS OR TAPS and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
-;
My Invention consists of a lift valve or tap which can be applied to high or
low pressures either for steam, hot or cold water;-and as illustrated by the
accompanying drawing.
The valve consists of a plug or spindle a the end of said plug or spindle being
square or of other suitable shape to effect the object in view.
The end of the spindle or plug a is fitted into a screw b the hole in the centre
of the screw being cast or bored out any suitable shape so that when the handle or
fan c attached to the plug is moved in the box d there is no pressure from the
screw against spindle in an upward direction.
The plug or spindle a is held down shouldering the top or sides of box (or
stuffing box) d by a screw e in the side or other part of the box which bears
against an indented ring formed in the spindle or plug a so that when the fan c of
plug is turned, the screw b which fits end of the plug a moves up or down within
box d, and carries valve f, which has a loose circular motion, and is attached to
the screw b in this manner. A small screw is let through the end of screw bat
the end of spindle or plug a and the end of the screw g forms a shoulder, being
attached through bottom to the valve f. so that the said valve has a circular
movement, but has no movement upwards or downwards unless being carried
away from the seating by the fan of plug or spindle being turned. The valve f
is either ground in the seating or has a surface of suitable substance as in ordinary
valves. A stuffing box can be used if desired.
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 said Invention as herein described and illustrated by the accom-
panying drawing.
