Complete Specification Left, 6th July, 1896-Accepted, 29th Aug., 1896
We, ALBERT THOMAS CHORLEY, of 33 Shadwell Road, Bishopston, Bristol,
Builder, and FRANCIS SHUTTLEWORTH RENDALL, of Appsley Road, Clifton, in
the County of Gloucestershire, Gentleman, do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:-
Our invention relates to improvements in buoy valves or that description of
valve in which the flow of a water supply is regulated and adjusted by means of
the rising or falling of a float in water."
We carry our invention into practice in manner as hereinafter described.
We form a casing through one end of which is fitted a cylindrical or other
suitably shaped rod such rod will be hereinafter termed the valve rod. The part
through which this rod works acting as a guide to the valve rod this part of the
casing will be hereinafter termed the valve rod end. Immediately adjoining the
valve rod end, the casing is enlarged so as to form a water space around the valve
rod and in this enlarged portion of the casing is formed a suitable opening for the
discharge of water, such opening will be hereinafter referred to as the nozzle.
The casing is prolonged so as to form an annular or other shaped valve seating,
such annular shaped valve seating will be hereinafter referred to as the annular
valve seating of the casing, and outside but con-centric or otherwise with the
before named valve seating is formed a shank which shank is either threaded
externally or internally as may be found most desireable. A boss is made to screw
on this threaded shank and when screwed "home" it keeps in position an annular
piece of leather or other suitable material placed in an annular space between
the threaded shank and the valve seating for the purpose to be hereinafter
described, such annular piece of leather or other suitable material being herein-
after referred to as the annular valve seating.
The valve rod is prolonged to some convenient length at or about the distance
of the annular valve seating of the casing and has formed on it an enlarged part
parallel to or in other, suitably formed position so as to close upon wben and as
required onto the annular valve seating.
The enlarged part is continued to a suitably larger diameter and overlaps the
prolonged portion of the casing that forms the annular valve seating of the casing,
and the edges of this overlapping portion forms the valve whose seating is the
before described aunular valve seating. It will thus be understood that our
invention relates to the forming of two annular valve seatings formed one inside
the other such seatings may or may not be con-centric, and it will be understood
that the valve attached to the valve rod forms in two more or less con-centric
portions a valve seating and a valve and in like manner the casing forms in two
corresponding more or less con-centric portions a valve seating and a valve, and
of these four portions the two respective valve and valve seating of the casing
correspond to the valve and valve seating on the valve attached to the valve rod.
The valve rod and through it the valve is actuated in any of the usual and
well known means of ball & lever.
Dated this 23rd day of November 1895.

page_text: We, ALBERT THOMAS CHORLEY, of 4 Berkeley Road, Bishopston, Bristol,
Builder, and FRANCIS SHUTTLEWORTH RENDALL, of Appsley Road, Clifton,
Gentleman, both in the County of Gloucestershire, 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 :-
Our invention relates to improvements in buoy valves or that description of
valve in which the flow of a water supply is regulated and adjusted by means of
the rising or falling of a float in water.
We attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying
drawing, in which :-
Fig. 1, is a longitudinal section of the valve;
Fig. 2, is a plan of the slot in the rod ;
Fig. 3, is a section on line A B of Fig. 1;
Fig. 4, is an elevation of the ball valve.
We carry our invention into practice in manner as hereinafter described.
We form a casing a through one end of which is fitted a cylindrical or other
suitably shaped rod such rod will be herein termed the valve rod b. The part
through which this rod works acting as a guide to the valve rod b this part of
the casing will be hereinafter termed the valve rod end. Immediately adjoining
the valve rod end, the casing a is enlarged so as to form a water space around the
valve rod and in this enlarged portion of the casing is formed a suitable opening
for the discharge of water such opening will be hereinafter referred to as the
nozzle c.
The casing a is prolonged so as to form an annular or other shaped
valve seating d such annular shaped valve seating d will be hereinafter referred
to as the annular valve seating of the casing, and outside but concentric or other-
wise with the before named valve seating is formed a shank which shank e is either
threaded externally or internally as may be found most desirable. A boss fis
made to screw on this threaded shank and when screwed "home" it keeps in
position an annular piece of leather g or other suitable material placed in an
annular space between the threaded shank and the valve seating d for the purpose
to be hereinafter described, such annular piece of leather g or other suitable
material being hereinafter referred to as the annular valve seating. The valve
rod is prolonged to some convenient length at or about the distance of the
annular valve seating of the casing and has formed on it an enlarged part parallel
to or in other suitably formed position so as to close upon when and as required
onto the annular valve seating.
The enlarged part is continued to a suitably larger diameter and overlaps the
prolonged portion of the casing that forms the annular valve seating of the
casing, and the edges of this overlapping portion forms the valve whose seating
is the before described annular valve seating. It will thus be understood that our
invention relates to the forming of two annular valve seatings formed one inside
the other such seatings may or may not be concentric and it will be understood
that the valve attached to the valve rod forms in two more or less concentric
portions a valve seating and a valve and in like manner the casing forms in two
corresponding more or less concentric portions a valve seating and a valve and of
these four portions the two respective valve and valve seating of the casing
correspond to the valve and valve seating on the valve attached to the valve rod.
The valve rod is provided with a slot i and through it the valve is actuated by a
pivoted lever on any of the usual and well known means of ball and lever or by
a solid ball k and lever l.

page_text: Having pow particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what we
claim is :-
:-
1. In ball valves, the combination of the valve casing a valve rod b nozzle c
valve seating d shank e boss fannular piece of leather or other material 9 enlarged
part slot pivoted lever j solid ball and lever 1, substantially as herein
described and according to the accompanying drawing.
2. In ball valves, the combination of the various parts of the apparatus,
substantially as herein described and according to the illustrations.
