PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Cock or Valve for Water or other Liquids.
I JAMES ROBERT TOUT Picture Frame Maker of 2 Bishop Street Portsea
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A straight tube screwed or otherwise at one end to connect with supply and at
the other end it is screwed or otherwise for outlet, the outlet being moveable so that
moveable seatings can be inserted. On the tube is a gland through which a plug is
screwed, the bottom of which plug is taper, conical or wedge shaped. This
taper, cone or wedge comes between the moveable seatings which are made
to fit cone or wedge. One of these seatings is hollowed out to fit a ball. In the
tube at inlet end there is also a hollow seating to fit ball. When the plug is
screwed down the moveable seating is forced against the ball, thereby forcing the
ball against the back seating of the inlet. When the plug is unscrewed the ball is
released from the back seating and the liquid flows to the outlet through grooves
cut lengthwise on the moveable seatings. The taper, cone or wedge at bottom of
plug may be either attached to plug or otherwise.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Cock or Valve for Water or other Liquids.
I JAMES BOBERT TOUT of 2 Bishop Street, Portsea Picture Frame Maker
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 :-
The object of my invention is to prevent leakage in cocks or valves and undue
wear on working parts. My invention is applicable to cocks or valves for all
purposes.
In the accompanying drawings
E represents a straight tube screwed or otherwise at one end to connect with
supply at G and at the other end H it is screwed or otherwise for outlet so that
moveable seatings can be inserted. On the tube E is a gland through which the
plug F is screwed the bottom of which plug is taper, conical or wedge shaped.
This taper, cone or wedge comes between the moveable seatings C. C and is
made to fit in tapered recesses in seatings as at B B and the back seating C is
hollowed out at I to fit a ball.
Another method is to have a ball or part of a ball fitted on back seating C.
In the tube at inlet end D there is also a hollowed seating to fit ball.
When the plug F is screwed down into recessed seatings at B B the back moveable
seating C is forced against the ball thereby forcing the ball against the back
seating D at inlet. When the plug F is unscrewed the ball is released from the
back seating D and the liquid flows to the outlet through grooves cut lengthwise
on C. C and on the face of front seating as at A.
The taper cone or wedge at bottom of plug F may be either attached to plug or
otherwise.
The gland on tube E may or may not have a stuffing box

page_text: 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 use or employment of a taper, conical or wedge shaped plug fitting into
tapered or hollowed coned seatings in a cock or. valve suitably prepared thereby
forcing a ball against a hollowed seating at inlet for the prevention of leakage
therefrom substantially as in manner herein set forth illustrated and described.
Dated this. 14th day of September 1891.
