No. 27494.—20th May, 1909.—ALBERT VICTOR PARK, of 96 Market Street, South Melbourne, Bourke, Australia, Engineer. Improvements in and connected with valves for retaining fluids in containers.

[NOTE.—This is an application under the International and Inter-colonial Arrangements, the date given being the official date of the application in Australia.]

Extract from Specification.—According to this invention, a protuberance of flexible material extends into the fluid-holding container. Through the protuberance is a passage-way or slit which penetrates its inner edge and thereby forms two lips. Fluid being forced into the container separates the lips, but immediately it ceases to enter the lips close together again by their resiliency. Pressure of the fluid upon the sides of the protuberance retains the lips in close contact, and the greater the pressure the more effectively closed is the passageway.

[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]
