Improvements in Valves, especially applicable to Heating
Installations.
CHARLES PATULLO KINNELL, of 65, Southwark Street, Southwark, in the
County of Surrey, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This invention has for its object an improvement in the construction of valves
controling the amount of steam water or other liquid or gases passing thro'
the valves and ensures, after the opening in valve has been regulated, that while
the steam, water or other liquid or gases can be absolutely shut off, yet it will
be impossible to increase the volume beyond the amount it has originally been
set for.
My improved arrangement enables the valves to be set at such a point that
notwithstanding it is still possible to operate the handle of the valve, and limit
or shut off circulation, yet at no time can a larger volume pass through the
valve in excess of the amount at which the valve has been set to allow to pass.
I introduce an adjustable part or parts into the body of the valve, which being
set or regulated as before described cannot admit of alteration by the unskilled
user.
In order that this invention may be more fully understood I will proceed
to describe the same in reference to the accompanying drawing, which illus-
trates one method of the application of my patent. The drawing represents an angle
valve into which I have introduced a moveable part A, its relative position goven-
ing the circulation by opening or closing the aperture at C. The locknut B fixing
it at any position without effecting the ordinary working of the valve. The advan-
tages of my invention overcomes a difficulty, which is continually arising especially
in respect of hot water installations, namely an unskilled user frequently opens
the valve of some section of an installation to their fullest extent, thus
seriously diminishing, if not altogether stopping the circulation to other
sections of the apparatus.
Now with my invention after the various valves have been set by the engineers,
no possible alteration of the valve or valves on the part of the user can affect the
general circulation throughout other sections of the apparatus.

I, CHARLES PATULLO KINNELL, of 65, Southwark Street, Southwark, in the
County of Surrey, Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention

ascertained in and by the following statement; —
This invention has for its object an improvement in the construction of valves
controlling the amount of steam water or other liquid or gases passing through
the valves and ensures, after the opening in valve has been regulated, that while
the steam water or other liquid or gases can be absolutely shut off yet it will
be impossible to increase the volume beyond the amount it has been set for.
My improved arrangement enables the valves to be set at such a point that
notwithstanding it is still possible to operate the handle of valve and limit
or shut off circulation, yet at no time can a larger volume pass through the
valve in excess of the amount at which the valve has been set to allow to pass.
I introduce an adjustable part or parts into the body of the valve, which being

my
In order that this invention may be more fully understood I will proceed
to describe the same in reference to the drawing filed with Provisional
Specification, which illustrates one method of the application of my patent.
The drawing represents an angle valve into which I have introduced a moveable
part A with an oval opening its relative position governing the circulation by
opening or closing the aperture at C. The locknut B fixing it in any position
without affecting the ordinary working of the valve. The advantages of my
invention overcomes a difficulty which is continually arising especially in
respect of hot water installations, namely, an unskilled user frequently opens the
valve of some radiator or section of an installation to its fullest extent, thus
circulation to other
seriously diminishing if not altogether stopping the
radiators or sections of the apparatus.
Now with my invention after the various valves have been set by the engineers,
no possible alteration of the valve or valves on the part of the user can affect the
general circulation throughout other sections of the apparatus.
Having now particularly described & ascertained the nature of my said
invention, & in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is;
1
1. A moveable part with an oval opening to fit into a valve, which part, when
set allowes only a certain amount of steam, water or other liquids to pass through
the opening even if the valve is turned on to its fullest extent.
2. An adjustable part which will in no way interfere with the closing of valve
if so desired, but when the valve is re-opened it cannot permit the passage of
a greater body of water than that which it was originally set to allow to pass,
thus at no time after being once set can it be worked to the prejudice of any
other radiator or section of apparatus.
3. An improvement in valves for water steam or gas as set out and described in
the foregoing specification & shown on drawing filed with my Provisional Speci-
fication.
