Year: 1884

page_text: I JOHN Ross M'NEIL of 39 Denmark Hill in the County of Surrey Brass
Finisher do hereby declare the nature of my Invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
STOP BIB AND BALL COCKS OR VALVES to be as follows:-
My Invention for improvements in cocks and valves consists mainly as follows :-
The spindle and handle of the cock or valve is cast or formed in one piece or
separate as desired-On the spindle is a thread which screws through the stuffing
box from the top. A loose lifting valve is attached which acts as a lock to
spindle.
The improved parts are put together as follows :—
The stuffing box cap or screw slides on the spindle. The spindle screws through
box, the stuffing box cap or screw, screws in or on box;-the loose lifting valve
being locked on spindle, the whole being attached to ordinary body of cock or
valve.
The accompanying drawing shows section of improved cock or valve.

I JOHN Ross M'NEIL of 39 Denmark Hill in the County of Surrey Brass
Finisher, do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN
STOP, BIB, AND BALL COCKS OR VALVES and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
My Invention for improvements in cocks and valves consists substantially as
follows:-
The spindle or handle of the cock or valve is cast or formed in one piece or
separate as desired. On the spindle is a thread which screws through a stuffing
box from the top. A loose lifting valve is attached which acts as a lock to
spindle.
The parts are put together as follows:-
The stuffing box cap or screw slides on the spindle, the spindle screwing through
the box. The stuffing box cap or screw, screws on box, the loose lifting valve
being locked on spindle, the whole being attached to ordinary body of cock or
valve.
The accompanying drawing shows section of my improved cock or valve.
a is spindle with handle or fan.
b thread on spindle a screwing through stuffing box c.
d loose lifting valve held by spindle a as shown for preventing spindle a being
detached from other working parts when in action.
e seat for loose valve d.
The points of novelty of my Invention consist :-
1st In the handle or spindle a with screw b, said spindle terminating in a joint
to carry the loose valve d which locks spindle in its place ready for action.
2nd The valve & working on the locking joint on spindle a said valve having
a loose action on spindle controlling length of movement of spindle through
stuffing box.
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
The said Invention as herein before set forth and described and illustrated by the
accompanying drawing.
Dated this thirteenth day of December 1884.
