We, CHARLES PEGG,. of Bridge Street, Chilvers Coton, Engineer, and THOMAS
HUNT, of Attleborough, in the parish of Nuneaton, Engineer, and JOHN BUTLIN of
Hinckley Road Nuneaton, Brewers Agent, all in the county of Warwick, 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 an improved air tight valve for cork holes of casks, the
inner case of which is chased, so that an india rubber ring or washer is properly
adjusted therein, in a recess prepared for it a ball or sphere is held firmly against it
by a coiled spring coming on at back, the inner face of the case, or cases, being pro-
vided with a thread, or not, as the case may be, so that the Tap can either be screwed,
or knocked in, to force back the valve to allow a free flow of the contents of the cask.
When the tap is withdrawn, the ball comes back to the ring or washer thus closing
and keeping the cask airtight; and from becoming foul.
In order that our invention may be well understood reference is made to the
drawings accompanying this specification the letters of reference are identical in all
the figures.
In the modifications shown in figures 3. 4 and 5 where one or more balls are
employed at a time, Figure 1 is a view in section. The inner case A. holding the
ball, B. and the ring or washer, C. the end of the Tap c' having to be inserted and
screwed inwards to force the valve back which closes the spring, D. riding on the
inner end of the screw cap E. the outer case or bush F. is fitted in the end of the
cask, and is threaded on its inner side, the shoulders of which are provided with sunk
down holes G. to receive screws for securing it to the cask.
Figure 2. is another sectional view, being a modification of figure 1. without the
outer case, or bush F.
Figure 3. is a view, the inner face of which is planed, when the valve is forced
open by the insertion of any ordinary Tap.
Figure 4. is a further modification of figure 1. having an inner and outer case or
bush F the valve being also forced open by the driving in of an ordinary tap.
Figure 5. is a view shewing the outer case, F. screwed on to the inner case A.
having the ball valve in each arm of the outer case, the inner case fitting into the
end of the cask when by an ordinary tap being driven in the valves are forced back,
and a full flow of the liquid comes from both sides, the holes in each case are shown
by dotted circles a¹. If we use a Ball, with the ring or washer round it, in a groove,
as shown in figure 6. a projection is provided in the inner case A. to which the ring
or washer comes against, to keep the bore hole clean after our appliance is inserted,
the front is sealed over with sealing wax, we can make the appliances herein referred

page_text: to of any suitable material such as brass, galvanized metal, and the like, and the balls
may be, besides glass, compositions of hard material.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this our inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim, as our invention is,
Improved air tight valves for the cork, bore, or tap-hole of casks-constructed and
arranged substantially in the manner, and for the purpose herein before described and
set forth in the accompanying drawings.
