PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A Valve for Automatically Controlling a Flow of Water or other
Fluids by the Action of Varying Pressures.
HANDEL BEECH, Victoria Villas, Heaton Park, Prestwich, in the County of
Lancaster Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
This invention, relates to what is known as an alarm valve, but may be used for
other purposes, where other currents of fluid are desired to flow in several directions.
The object of this invention, is to prevent as far as possible false alarms, & yet
maintain a very prompt & efficient regulator, & consists of a double valve, having
a double seat, & having for its object, the retaining of fluid, on its uppermost side,
when the pressure is heaviest on the top. The weight or pressure keeping it closed,
& by the reduction of weight or pressure, the valve is free to rise with the flow
of the fluid. In rising the 2nd valve opens a port hole or passage, formed in the
2nd valve seat, through which the fluid can pass to any determined place. The valve
may be made flat, or any other suitable shape, whereby the flow of water, or other
fluids, may have a free course, when it lifts from its seating.

HANDEL BEECH, 235, Windsor Road, Oldham, formerly of Victoria Villas,
Heaton Park, Prestwich, Engineer, 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 relates to what is known as an alarm valve but may be used for
other purposes where other currents of fluid are desired to flow in several directions
& controlled. The object of this invention is to prevent, as far as possible, false
alarms, and yet maintain a very prompt & efficient regulator, & consists of a double
valve having a double seat & having for its objects the retaining of fluid on its
uppermost side when the pressure is heaviest on the top. The weight or pressure
keeping it closed, & by the reduction of weight or pressure the valve is free to
rise with the flow of the fluid. In rising the second valve opens a port hole or
passage formed in the second valve seai, through which the fluid can pass to
any determined place. The valve may be made flat or any other suitable shape,

its seating.
I now refer to drawings & figures which further explain & illustrate the
construction of the valve.
Fig. 1, is a side sectional elevation of valve & body.
Letter A, is a screw to fasten the second valve (Letter C,) in position.
Letter B, is a washer made of rubber or other suitable substance, to enable the
lower valve, (Letter H) to sit firmly on its seat.
Letter C, is No. 2 valve, fitting on spindle, (Letter G).
Letter D, is a woodite or leather or suitable valve seating, fastened to Letter C.
Letter E, is a brass bush forming No. 2 valve face & into which the second
opening is made which I style a port-hole or passage leading to the exterior of
the valve.
Letter F, is a cross piece of cast iron cast in the valve body to support the
Letter E, in the centre of which is a passage from the port-hole to the exterior
of the valve.
Letter G, is the valve spindle which unites No's. 1 & 2 valves together.
Letter H, is No. 1 valve for operating No. 2 valve, (Letter C) & is composed of
brass or other suitable substance.
Letter I is a valve seating of suitable material & section for retaining the
pressure.
Letter J, is the valve body into which the seating is fitted.
Letters K, are set screws which fasten the face plate on to the valve body.
Letter L, is the face plate which is used for access to the valves.
Letter M, is the valve body or casing into which the valves are fixed.
Figure 2, is front sectional elevation of valve & body.
Leiter N, is a passage from the exterior to the interior.
Figure 3, is a sectional plan of valve.
Figure 4, is front elevation of valve showing the lid giving access to the valves
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said
invention & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare what
I claim is —
A valve & valve face being at the point of contact metal, having a subsidiary
valve attached, composed of metal, which has a soft seating covering an outlet
near the centre of the valve, from the interior to the exterior of the valve, as
shown & described in accompanying drawings.
