Truro Rd Wood Green, and WILLIAM FOSTER PHILLIPS, Foundry Yard, 68 Charles
St City Road E.C. & 5 Truro Villas Truro Road Wood Green Cockfounders do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
Our improvement consists in making the Valve, lid, or cover to the orifice in the
body of the Valve to rise or fall, by making a female or male screw, in, or on the
Valve, lid, or cover, and a male or female screw on or in the end of the spindle.
The screw on or in the spindle working in or on the Valve, lid or cover. And
the Valve, lid, or cover having two or more lugs working in vertical slots or guides,
or the lugs may be placed on the body and the slots or guides on the Valve, lid, or
cover, the action being the same. The spindle at the top of the screw is made
greater in diameter and rests in a rebate in the top of the body of Valve, but
slightly below, but the same is again raised close to the shaft of spindle, so as to be
level with the top of body. A disc or washer of a non metallic substance is
placed over the whole of the top of the body and rests on the edge of the body
and on the spindle. A cap perforated for the shaft of the spindle is screwed," or
in the case of sluice and other large Valves bolted," on the body part of Valve
which grips the non metallic substance at the edge of the body and the spindle
making this part perfectly sound when the Valve lid or cover is raised, no matter
how great the pressure of the liquid may be.

JOSEPH PHILLIPS Foundry Yd 68 Charles St City Road and 6 Truro Villas
Truro Road Wood Green Middlesex and WILLIAM FOSTER PHILLIPS Foundry Yd
68 Charles Street City Road and 5 Truro Villas Truro Road Wood Green Middlesex,
Brass and Cockfounders do hereby declare the nature of our invention for
IMPROVED SCREW DOWN VALVES FOR CONTROLLING THE FLOW OF WATER AND
OTHER LIQUIDS and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be par-
ticularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
Our improvement consists in making the Valve lid or cover to the orifice in the
body of the Valve to rise or close by means of a female or male screw in or on the
Valve lid or cover, marked A on the accompanying drawing, and a male or female
screw on or in the end of the spindle marked B. The screw on or in the spindle
working in or on the Valve lid or cover And the Valve lid or cover having two (or
more or less) lugs working in vertical slots or guides G in the body of the Valve
The spindle just above the screw is made greater in diameter and rests in a rebate
slightly below the top of the body of the valve but the same is again raised close
to the shaft of spindle so as to be level with the top of the body. A washer of a
non-metallic substance D is placed over the whole of the top of the body of the
Valve and rests on the edge of the body and on the raised part of the spindle close
to the shaft. A cap perforated for the shaft of the spindle is screwed on the body
(or in the case of sluice or other large Valves, bolted on) which grips the non-
metallic washer at the edge of the body and the spindle This cap has a sunk
recess in the underside next the spindle forming a chamber into which a non
metallic substance is forced before screwing on, and thus forms a stuffing box
rendering this part perfectly sound when the Valve lid or cover is raised.
placing of lugs on the Valve and their working in slots or guides renders it impos-
sible for the pressure of water or other liquid to raise the same.
The
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and the manner in which it is to be performed we declare that what
we claim as novelty in our invention for Improved Screw down Valves are
1st The construction of the Valve lid or cover so as to rise or close by the direct
action of the screw on the spindle, such direct action being ensured by the Valve
lid or cover working in guides.
2nd The arrangement of stuffing box, being the chamber in the cap.
