I JAMES HENRY STONE trading as Benton & Stone of St. Paul's Square Birmingham,
Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of my said invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
The object of this invention is the construction of a combination fitting or terminal
for hose pipes combining the necessary outlets to form either a jet rose or spray
action at will and all controlled by one and the same plug cock.
On the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 illustrates a side view; Fig. 2 an end
view and Fig. 3 a transverse section of a hose-pipe terminal embracing my
improvements.
.
In all the views a is the plug cock body fitted on the one side with a tail pipe 6 for
connection with the hose-pipe in the ordinary manner and upon the other side of
which cock-body are mounted three separate nozzles c d e say a jet, rose and spray
nozzle all arranged in a line alongside each other as illustrated. I form orifices f g h
in the cock-body a communicating with their respective jets and with the tapered
plug i on the inside and also form an inlet orifice j for the water from the tail-pipe b.
This tapered plug i is hollow and has also three orifices or ports k, l, m formed in it
corresponding with the orifices leading to the jets but these ports are arranged at
different angles around the circumference of the plug and with regard to each other
(as illustrated in Fig. 3) so that only one is open at a time.
In the drawing the plug i is shewn in the position with its port k opposite to the
orifice f leading to the jet c whilst the port is opposite to the water supply orifice j.
In these relative positions the water passes through the terminal in the direction of
the arrows indicated in Fig. 3. To pass the water however through the spray jet e
it is only requisite to turn the plug i a third of a revolution upon its axis so as to
bring the port m opposite to the orifice h-or two thirds of a revolution if it be desired
to use the rose jet d.

page_text: It will thus be apparent that by having a dial-plate o affixed to the plug i and
marked with the naines of the jets (as illustrated in Fig. 2) that the plug i may
thereby not only be turned but also form an indicator to shew which jet is open.
In this manner I construct a hose-fitting or terminal capable of throwing three
different classes of jet according to the position of the plug in the cock.
I do not confine myself to the precise form and character of nozzles or jets
illustrated on the drawing as it will be obvious that the same may be varied without
departing from my invention.
Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of this my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
In the construction of a hose-pipe terminal the employment of three nozzles or jets
each throwing a different class of jet all communicating with and supplied by a three
ported hollow taper plug cock substantially as herein before described and illustrated
on the accompanying drawing.
