PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Appliance for Use with Apparatus or Pumps for Drawing
Beer, Stout, and the like Liquids.
I, JAMES TEASDALE ALLINSON, of the Albert Inn, 8 Sykes Place, in the
City of Leeds, Publican, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
:-
My invention consists in an appliance for use with apparatus or pumps for
drawing beer, stout, and the like liquids, by which the use "heading powders
are dispensed with, also droppings are avoided, and hops and the like foreign.
matter are prevented from passing into the glass or the vessel.
According to my invention I employ an appliance made of india-rubber or
other suitable material having a chamber formed about midway of its length.
In this chamber is placed a sieve or riddle, composed of wirework or the like
material, surrounded by a ring which may rest upon an annular projection in the
chamber. Above the said chamber the appliance is prolonged into a short tube
or neck by which the appliance can be fixed on to the tap, and below the said
chamber it is prolonged into a nozzle which is adapted to be self-closing when
the liquid is not passing through it, and to open when the liquid is drawn.
The said nozzle may have a channel or round hole through it, or the said
channel may be constructed so as to be square, when expanded by the liquid.
The said appliance is preferably enclosed in a metallic casing adapted to allow
for the expansion and contraction of the said parts.
Dated this 9th day of August 1895.

1, JAMES TEASDALE ALLINSON, of the Albert Inn, 8, Sykes Place, in the
City of Leeds, Publican, 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 :-
My invention consists in an appliance for use with apparatus or pumps for

or liquids are dispensed with, also droppings are avoided, and hops and the like
foreign matter are prevented from passing into the glass or vessel.

page_text: According to my invention I employ an appliance made of india-rubber or other
suitable material having a chamber A formed about midway of its length.
In this chamber is placed a sieve or riddle B composed of wirework or the like
material surrounded by a ring.C which may rest in an annular groove D in the
chamber. Above the said chamber. A. the appliance is projected into a short tube
or neck E by which the appliance can be fixed on to the tap F, and below the said
chamber A it is prolonged into a nozzle G which is adapted to be self-closing when
the liquid is not passing through it and to open when the liquid is drawn.
The said nozzle may have a channel or round hole through it, or the said
channel may be constructed so as to be square when expanded by the liquid.
The said appliance is preferably enclosed in a metallic casing H adapted to
allow for the expansion and contraction of the said parts.
The nozzle G is so constructed by means of the four ways (or three may be
used) and central hole in the nozzle that back suction and churning of the liquid
are prevented.
The sieve B and casing H may be dispensed with, if preferred.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. The improved appliance (with or without the sieve B and casing H)
constructed substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
2. The construction and arrangement of means for use with apparatus or pumps
for drawing beer, stout, and the like liquids, substantially as and for the purposes
set forth.
