JAR OR OTHER VESSEL FOR CONTAINING GASEOUS LIQUIDS AND THE LIKE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 1, 1907.

Application filed July 2'7, 1905- Serial No. 328,114.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, NORMAN WRronrsoN, residing at Elgin road, and WILLIAM BROWN, residing at 120 Mitcham road, both in Oroydon, Surrey, England, subj ects of the King of Great Britain, have invented new and useful Improvements in and Relating to Jars or other Vessels for Containing Gaseous Liquids and the Like, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to jars or other vessels chiefly designed for containing gaseous liquids and of the kind wherein a valve controlled discharge outlet is arranged at the bottom and has for its object to improve the construction of this form of vessel.

According to the invention We make use of a vessel of suitable shape and which may be composed of stoneware and be closed at the top by a screw stopper in the 'ordinary manner. The vessel is provided at or near the bottom with a projection which forms an internal valve seating, and contains a passage for the valve spindle, a recess for an external push button for operating the valve and a discharge or outlet passage; the recess also contains a spring coiled around the valve spindle and bearing against the inner face of the pushbut-ton so as to normally hold the valve upon its seat.

To enable the invention to be fully understood we will describe it by reference to the accompanying drawing which is an elevation partly in section of a jar provided with a valve regulated outlet according to the invention.

a represents the jar which may be of stone-ware or other suitable material and b is the opening at the top which is closed by the screw stopper 0.

d is the projection made integrally with the jar at or near the bottom thereof, the said projection forming, upon the inside of the jar a, the valve seating a and being provided with the passage f, the recess 9 and the discharge outlet h which communicates with the passage f. I

i is the valve and j the valve spindle, the said spindle extending through the passage f and recess 9 as shown and being provided at its outer end with the push-button i; this push button 71 fits accurately within the recess g and the spindle 9' has coiled around it within the said recess a spiral spring k which bears at one end against the inner face of the push-button t" and at the other against the bottom of the recess 9, so as to normally hold the valve i upon its seat. With this construction it will be clear that the push button 1" is always housed within the recess so that there is no part of the device which is liable to damage due to its projecting from the jar.

The device is employed as follows, that is to say, the liquid may be filled into the vessel in the usual way through the screw-stoppered opening b or through the outlet h and is released by pushing the button 1" into the recess 9 so as to lift the valve i from its seat thus permitting the contents of the vessel to flow out through the passage f and outlet h. When the button is relieved of pressure the valve is automatically closed by the tension of the spring k. n

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, We declare that what we claim is:

1. The combination with a vessel for holding liquids having an integral projection on its-side wall adjacent to the bottom thereof, said projection having a horizontally disposed aperture extending therethrough to the interior of the vessel and a downwardly inclined discharge passage in communication with the interior of the vessel, of a valve stem projecting into said horizontally disposed aperture, said stem being provided at its inner end with a valve closing said discharge aperture, substantially as described.

2. 'lhecombination with a vessel for holding liquids having an integral projection on its side wall adjacent to the bottom thereof, said projection being provided on its outer face with a recess, and having a horizontally disposed aperture extending from said recess to the interior of the vessel and a downwardly inclined 'discharge aperture in communication with the interior of the vessel, of

a valve stem projecting into said horizontally disposed aperture, the outer end of said stem terminating in said recess, said stem being provided at its inner end with a valve for closing said discharge aperture, substantially as described.

3. The combination with a vessel for holding liquids having an integral external projection adjacent to but located above the plane of the bottom of the vessel, said projection having a recess in its outer face, a horizontally disposed aperture extending from said recess to the interior of the vessel and a downwardly inclined discharge aperture in communicatio: ith the interior of the vessel and extending to the bottom a said projection, of a valve stem projecting through said horizontally disposed aperture to the interior of the vessel and having its other end terminating in said recess in said projection, said stem being provided at its inner end with a valve for closing said discharge aperture, whereby the discharge aperture is prevented from being soiled by coming into contact with the support for the vessel and the end of said valve stem housed in said recess in said projection, thus preventing accidental operation of the same, substantially as described.
