i To all 'whom'z't may mm: termediat'e the ends thereofto which ablock r I I i Be a known that 1, W ng E; Fran), a} citizen of the United States of America, residing at Grand Ra ids, in the county of' Kent, and State. of l\/ 'chigan, have'invented certain new anduseful Improvements Drinklng-Glass-Flller Fixtures; "and I do hereby declare the'following tobe "a full;
clear, and exact descriptionof the inven-- tion, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains -to malte and use "thesame: a p I A This invention relates to an automatically 0 erated fixture for use in filling drinking g asses, being particularly useful in rest'a'u rants where the patrons thereofserve them selves though, of course, not limited in use thereto. It is a primary object and purpose of the present invention to provide a fixture ofthis character, simple in structure and eco nomical to manufacture, very easily operat ed,and one which permits a very fullflow of water without undue splashing" when operated, whereby the glasses may be rapid; 1y filled, speed being especially desirable c uring rush hours in restaurants. further object of the inventionis to produce a device of this character which is clean and sanitary in its use. These, together with various other objects and purposes, not specifically stated. at this time, will appear fully and in detail. as understandingof .the invention is had from the following I description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which, i l v Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the device, showing the'operation thereof by means of pressure of the side ofa glass to be filled.
Fig.9 is an enlarged .central'vertical sectionthrough the device, and Fig. 3 is a frontelevation thereof.
Lil ie frefe'rence characters 7 refer to like parts in the different figures "ofthedraw-i'n g. In the construction, a horizontally disposed tubular. body 1 has an upper forwardly extending integrally cast hollow outlet member 2 terminatingat its front free end in a downturned" nozzle 3, as shown. There is a continuous passage through body I and member 2 and the outlet member parallels the body 1 being'located. but a short distance above it. The body extendsa short distance under the outlet member, as indie cated at 4, boss projects downwardly from the outlet 2 at the under side and in 5 is secured, by swedging or otherwise, said block havingtwo spaced'apart ears 6 depending'therefrorn to a pointinfrontdf.1 1 jectingend 4 of said'bo y An; operating member 7 is pivotally con-v i 7 heated at its upper end to between the cars, a pivot in-8 pa-ssingithrough' the y ears and the member; At its lower portion,
member 7 is divided and extended into-two diverging zarmsfi, each at its lower end-be *ingz'equippedwith a rubber contact head- 10,-as shown, The member 7 *With armsQ- approximates the form" ofa; Wishbone and it is designed that the glassto-be "filled by;

At its'inner end it is formed with-a head 12 material is located'which is adapted to-be pressed against the shoulder .14: within-'tli'e in front of which a disk 13 0fsuitable valve '1 1 body 1, closing off the passage for the water. Ordinarily the" ressurewf water is mally, thereby l stopping n "pass ges water. I
The" rearj 'end of the spring seats in "a 17 to receive. the spring, and with ,anex
socket in a coup1ing1'6 formedwithisocket teriorlythreaded projection "at its front end,indicated at 18, for screwing into 5 the rear end of' therbody' 1 which "is interiorl y threadedto receive it. The opposite end is provided -with*an exteriorly thie'aded portion 19 of tapered form, prefferably, afar connection toa suitable tank or other 'con tainer for water. The coupling has a 'lon gitudinal passage therethrough, "restricted at one point. At .thispoint, a regulator plug 20 is threaded through the upper. side of the coupling, being connected to la "stem 21 which extendsthrough a packing n'ut1j'22 threaded also 'into'the upper ,sideo'f' the coupling," underneath which is suitable packing 23.", The 'upperlend of the 'sterrifil, is formed for the operation thei'e o f'by screw driver it evidentthat the regthereby precluding any leakage of water around the same. The rear side of, the upper end portion of the operating member 7 has a camsurface 26,v practically eccentric with respect to the axis of pivot pin 8, against which surface the front end of pin 11 bears. It is obvious that backward turning pivotal movement of the I operating member about the pin 8 serves to force valve pin 11 rearwardly to unseat the I valve at 13 and open the passage for water.-
It is likewise evident that the force required to operate the operating member is very slight, irrespective how great the-pressure of the water against the head 12, due to the great leverage present in the construction. Accordingly when a glass, such as illustrated at 27, l ig. 1, is brought against the lower ends of arms 9 of the operating member, slight pressureof the glass against the heads 10 on said arms opens the passage for water which is immediately delivered to the glass through the outlet member 2 and from itsnozzle 3; and as soon as the glass is filled to the required height, the flow of water is automatically stopped on removal of the glass. y
The construction is particularly compact and simple, is easily manufactured and assembled, is not liable to get out of order, and if it should, can be'very readily taken apart for repair or replacement of parts. The block 5 has to be a separate piece in order that a tool can be applied to the end 4 to thread the same. The flow of water at its maximum is only that which can pass through the restricted passage in the coupiing, and this maximum is easily regulated.
oreover, the one having a glass filled can regulate the flow in accordance with the amount the operating member is pressed to the rear. In practice, a very rapid filling of glasses can be had without splashing due to the close positioning of the nozzle 3 to the upper end of the glass. In every way, the oonstructionis particularly practical and efiective and has so proved in use.
