PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A. Combined Nozzle and Stopcock for Varying and Controlling the
Delivery of Water.
I, CHARLES HENRY ANCILL, of 12, Albert Street, Handsworth, in the County of
Stafford, Pattern Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
On one
The object of this invention is to provide a handy means of varying and controlling
the delivery of water from a nozzle so as to obtain a jet or spray at will.
I construct my combined nozzle and stopcock in the following manner.
end of a tube I form a long cone, having its small end near the point of delivery of
the water. The bore of the tube is continued rather more than halfway through the
cone along its axis.
From the outside of the cone a passage is formed to the central hole or bore. A
hole is bored from the sınall end of the cone backwards along the axis, but stopped
short before reaching the bore made from the larger end of the cone.
From the outside of the cone a second passage is formed to this second axial bore,
and the first and second side passages are in line with each other lengthwise of
the cone.
A hollow cone is fitted and ground on to the first cone, and is capable of turning
backwards and forwards through part of a revolution.
This outer cone cuts off the first side passage from the second when in one position ;
but a port is provided, and when the outer cone is turned so that there is this port
over the two side passages of the inner cone, water can pass.
The front end of the outer cone is bored to form the nozzle, or the inner cone may
project through the outer for that purpose.
By turning the one cone on the other the delivery of water may be varied from a
full jet to a fine spray, or stopped.
.
A spreader plate is jointed to the apparatus for obtaining a thin sheet of water
when required.

A Combined Nozzle and Stopcock for Varying and Controlling the
Delivery of Water.
I, CHARLES HENRY ANCILL, of 12 Albert Street, Handsworth, in the county of
Stafford, Pattern Maker, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement :-
The object of this invention is to provide a handy means of varying and controlling
the delivery of water from a nozzle so as to obtain a jet or spray at will.

the cone

page_text: From the outside of the cone a second passage is formed to this second axial
bore, and the first and second side passages are in line with each other lengthwise
of the cone.
A hollow cone is fitted and ground on to the first cone, and is capable of turning
backwards and forwards through part of a revolution.
This outer cone cuts off the first side passage from the second when in one
position; but a port is provided, and when the outer cone is turned so that there is
this port over the two side passages of the inner cone, water can pass.
The front end of the outer cone is bored to form the nozzle, or the inner cone may
project through the outer for that purpose.
By turning the one cone on the other the delivery of water may be varied from a
full jet to a fine spray or stopped.
A spreader plate is jointed to the apparatus for obtaining a thin sheet of water
when required.
Fig. 1. shews a section of my combined nozzle and stopcock, a is the long cone
formed on the tube b. The cone a is bored along its axis as shewn at a¹. From the
outside of the cone a a side-passage c is bored to the central hole or bore a¹:
A hole d is bored from the small end of the cone a backwards along the axis, but
stopped short before reaching the hole a¹.
From the outside of the cone a second side-passage e is made to this second
axial boro d, and the two side-passages c and e are in line with each other lengthwise
of the cone.
u
A bollow cone fis fitted and ground on to the cone a, and is capable of turning
backwards and forwards through part of a revolution.
This outer cone fcuts of the first side-passage c from the second, e, thus acting as
a stopcock when in one position as shown in Fig. II.
In the outer cone fa port g is provided and when this port g is brought over c and e
as in Fig. I. water can pass from c to e.
The front end of the outer cone fis bored as a nozzle as shown in Fig. I. or the
cone a may be prolonged as shewn at 1, Fig. II.
By turning the cone so as to bring the port g fully over the side-passages o and e,
a jet of water may be delivered from the nozzle, and by turning the cone f so as to
slightly change the position of the port g in relation to the side-passages c and e, the
jet will be caused to break into spray.
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:
The combined nozzle and stopcock described for varying and controlling the delivery
of water.
