12th March 1872.
I, SAMUEL BARTON, the younger, of 4, Cannon Street, in the City of
London, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for "AN
IMPROVED ROSE AND NOZZLE OR JET TO BE USED IN CONNECTION WITH SYRINGES AND
OTHER APPARATUS FOR DISTRIBUTING WATER," to be as follows:-
This Invention has for its object an improved rose and nozzle or jet to
be used in connection with syringes and other apparatus for distributing

page_text: According to my Invention I combine a rose and jet nozzle with
other parts in such manner that the water can at pleasure be caused
to issue either through the rose or the nozzle, and so that by turning the
rose and the nozzle partly round on the part on which they are
mounted the passage to the one is opened whilst that to the other is
closed. The jet or nozzle is screwed into or upon a cone, in connection
with which is a conical cup concentric with it; a casing surrounds the
outside of the cup and the rose forms the top of this casing. Water
ways leading to the jet or nozzle are bored diagonally in the sides of the
cone, and other water ways leading to the rose are bored in the sides of
the cup. Into this cup and upon the cone within it another double
cone fits; it is attached to the syringe or other instrument, and the
water enters within it and passes out by two sets of diagonal holes bored
in the inner and other cone respectively. These two sets of holes
however are never both uncovered at the same time, and the water can
only pass through the holes which correspond with the holes contained
as already mentioned in the outer cup or part. The two parts are
readily turned the one on the other, and so either the holes in the inner
or in the outer cones can be brought to coincide. When the parts are
in an intermediate position the flow of the water is entirely stopped.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent,
filed by the said Samuel Barton in the Great Seal Patent Office
on the 12th September 1872.

TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, SAMUEL
BARTON, the younger, of 4, Cannon Street, in the City of London, send
greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Letters Patent, bearing date the Twelfth day of March, in the year of
our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-two, in the thirty-
fifth year of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give
and grant unto me, the said Samuel Barton, Her special license that
I, the said Samuel Barton, my executors, administrators, and assigns,
or such others as I, the said Samuel Barton, my executors, adminis-
strators, and assigns, should at any time agree with, and no others,

page_text: from time to time and at all times thereafter during the term therein
expressed, should and lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend,
within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Channel
Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for "AN IMPROVED ROSE AND NOZZLE
OR JET TO BE USED IN CONNECTION WITH SYRINGES AND OTHER APPARATUS FOR
DISTRIBUTING WATER," upon the condition (amongst others) that I, the
said Samuel Barton, my executors or administrators, by an instrument
in writing under my, or their, or one of their hands and seals, should
particularly describe and ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and
in what manner the same was to be performed, and cause the same to
be filed in the Great Seal Patent Office within six calendar months next
and immediately after the date of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Samuel Barton, do hereby declare
the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement thereof, that is to say :—
This Invention has for its object an improved rose and nozzle or jet to
be used in connection with syringes and other apparatus for distributing
water.
According to my Invention I combine a rose and jet nozzle with other
parts in such manner that the water can at pleasure be caused to issue
either through the rose or the nozzle, and so that by turning the rose
and the nozzle partly round on the part on which they are mounted the
passage to the one is opened whilst that to the other is closed. The jet
or nozzle is screwed into or upon a cone, in connection with which is a
conical cup concentric with it; a casing surrounds the outside of the cup
and the rose forms the top of this casing. Waterways leading to the jet
or nozzle are bored diagonally in the sides of the cone, and other water-
ways leading to the rose are bored in the sides of the cup. Into this
cup and upon the cone within it another double cone fits; it is attached
to the syringe or other instrument, and the water enters within it and
passes out by two sets of diagonal holes bored in the inner and other.
cones respectively. These two sets of holes however are never both
uncovered at the same time, and the water can only pass through the
holes which correspond with the holes contained as already mentioned in
the outer cup or part. The two parts are readily turned the one on the
other, and so either the holes in the inner or in the outer cones can be

page_text: brought to coincide. When the parts are in an intermediate position,
the flow of the water is entirely stopped.
In order that my Invention may be most fully understood and readily
carried into effect, I will proceed to describe the Drawings hereunto
annexed.
Figures 1 and 2 are side views partly in section, and Figure 3 is a
longitudinal section of a combined rose and jet nozzle, constructed
according to my Invention; Figures 4 are sections of the separate parts;
Figures 5, 6, and 7 are transverse sections taken on the lines 1, 1,
Figure 1, 2, 2, Figure 2, and 3, 3, Figure 3 respectively.
a is a double cone which is attached in any convenient manner to the
syringe or other instrument from which the water under pressure is
supplied. To the double cone a another double cone 6 is adapted, and it
fits truly both to the outer cone a¹ and the inner cone a², the piece b
having corresponding conical surfaces 6' and 6º. Through the conical
surfaces a¹, a², b¹, 6ª, water passages are drilled in the positions which
the Drawings clearly indicate. 6³ is a cup or chamber on the piece b,
which the water enters when it is allowed to pass through the cones a¹
and 6¹in consequence of the water passages in them having been brought
to coincide. The chamber 63 is covered by the rose plate or cap c, which
is perforated in the usual way with numerous small holes for the escape
of the water. c³is a nozzle in the centre of the rose plate, which is used
to deliver the water as a single jet, it is provided with a screw thread,
and it screws into the upper end of the cone 6³. The water passes to the
jet nozzle c¹ through the cones a² and 6' when the water passages in
them have been set to coincide. d and d³ are a screw and washer by
which the parts a and b are held together; e is a small screw passing
through the piece b, and it enters a groove on the surface of the cone a
and limits the distance that the piece 6 can be turned upon the piece a.
When the screw e is at one end of the groove the parts are set for the
water to pass out by the numerous perforations in the rose plate, but
not by the jet nozzle. When the screw e is at the other end of its
groove the water is shut off from the rose but escapes freely by the jet
nozzle. In an intermediate position the flow of the water is prevented
in all the passages.

page_text: What I claim is, the construction of a combined rose and jet apparatus
substantially as described.
In witness whereof, I, the said Samuel Barton, have hereunto set
my hand and seal, this Thirty-first day of August, in the year of
our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-two.
