IMPROVED SEATINGS FOR VALVES FOR DRAWING LIQUIDS
Year: 1884

page_text: I JOSEPH PHILLIPS of 6 Truro Villas Truro Road Wood Green, Middlesex,
Cockfounder, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVED
SEATINGS FOR VALVES FOR DRAWING LIQUIDS to be as follows:
A new method of making, inserting and applying the elastic and metallic
Seatings to Valves for drawing off liquids. I make the base of the body of the
Valve flat, against which I place a disc of an elastic material, by preference
prepared India rubber in which is an orifice corresponding to an orifice in the body
of the Valve. This disc is the elastic Seating, and is kept in its place by means of
the ferrule which has for this purpose a male screw thus forcing the elastic Seating
firmly against the base and thereby making the elastic Seating act also as a washer
for making sound the junction of the body with the ferrule, or the body may be
bolted to the ferrule with screws, by either method the elastic substance forms one
of the Seatings and also the washer for making sound the junction of the ferrule to
the body of the Valve. Thus making in one operation that which has hitherto
been two. The Seating or cover to the orifice in the elastic Seating and body I
make of metal, by preference in a cuplike form, this with the spindle I make in
one piece, instead of several, which has been the usual practice.
By my
improvement a much better and more lasting article can be made. Also by there
being fewer parts in the construction the cost of production will be less, and
thereby cheapened to the advantage of the public.

page_text: I, JOSEPH PHILLIPS of 6 Truro Villas Truro Road, Wood Green, Middlesex,
Cockfounder do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVED SEATINGS
FOR VALVES FOR DRAWING LIQUIDS and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
I make the base of the body of the Valve flat, against which I place a disc of an
elastic material, by preference prepared India rubber in which is an orifice
corresponding to an orifice in the body of the Valve for the passage of the liquid,
This disc is the elastic Seating, and is kept in its place by means of the ferrule
which has for this purpose a male screw, and by screwing the ferrule into the body
of the Valve, the elastic Seating is firmly pressed against the base of the body of
the Valve and thus the elastic Seating forms the washer for making sound the
junction of the body of the Valve with the ferrule, as shewn in Figure 1 in the
drawing. Or I bolt the body of the Valve to the ferrule by means of screws
the elastic Seating being between the body and ferrule and covering the whole of
the base as shewn in Figure 2 in the drawing. By either method the elastic
substance forms one of the Seatings and also the washer for making sound the
junction of the body of the Valve to the ferrule.
The Seating, lid, or cover to the orifice in the elastic Seating and body I make
of metal in a cuplike form with the spindle attached thereto, the whole being
made in one piece as shewn in Figures 1 and 2 in the drawings
EXPLANATION OF THE DRAWINGS.
C in figures 1 and 2 is the base of the body of the Valvo. A is the elastic
Seating and Washer combined which is kept in its place by the ferrule H. B is the
cupshape seating, lid or cover to the orifice in A and is formed with the spindle S
in one piece.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
