UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
HENRY B. LEAGH, or BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
SELF-CLOSING FAUCET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 247,929, dated October 4,1881.
' Application filed July 14,1881. (No model.)
Improvements in Self- Closing Faucets, of
which the following is a specification.
In the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of reference indicate like parts,
Figurel is a vertical section of my improved faucet open. Fig. 2 is a similar view closed. Fig. 3 is a plan View with the cap B removed, the actuating-arm H being shown in'horizontal section and the faucet being open. Fig. 4
is a similar view with the faucet closed. Fig..
5 is a horizontal section through broken line as .1), Fig. 2. Fig. 6 is a front elevation of the elbow-lever G and a portion of the valve-stem removed.
A is the body or casing of the faucet, A being the inlet and A the outlet pipes.
B is the cap screwing upon the casing A.
U is the ejector conducting the water into the outlet-pipe A, and G is the inner shell, of the shape shown, and made integral with the ejector G.
D is the valve-stem, having the cross-piece D at the upper end and screwed at its lower end into the valve E, to which is secured the washer E, (by means of the screw 6,) resting upon the valve-seat a. v
F F are guides, placed upon the inner surface of the casing for the purpose of prevent ing lateral movement of the valve E.
G is an elbow-lever, of the shape shown, whose lower arm, G, is bifurcated and rests under the cross-piece D of the valve-stem, whose upper or vertical arm, G, is provided with the two faces 9 g, (see Fig. 6,) and which is pivoted upon the fulcrum c--a protuberance on the inner shell, 0.
In case the ejector G andinner shell, 0, should be omitted, the fulcrum 0 may be a projectiou from the inner surface of the casing A.
In order to properly pivot the elbow-lever G, an extension, G, is formed, which rests upon said fulcrum c.
H is the actuating-lever, operated by the handle J, and provided with the protuberances H and tail-piece H.
The faucet, when in its normal conditioni. 0., closedis as shown in Figs. 2 and 4. To
-G. Thebifurcated lower arm, G, when itrises, lifts the valve-stem D by means of the crosspieee D, and hence the valve E, which, guided in its upward course by the guides F, allows the water to pass through the faucet. By releasing the handle the faucet is closed,assuming the position shown in Figs. 2 and 4. A space, a, (see Fig. 4,) is cut away from the upper edge of the casing .A to accommodate the play of the extension G of the lever G.
In order to prevent the inner shell, C,from turning in the casing, (and hence the lever Gr also,) a projection, b, is provided, which fits into a corresponding notch in the casing. (See Figs. 3 and 4.) The tail H of the actuatingarm H lies in a depression, 0,in the upper edge of the shell 0, and the ends 0 of such depression form stops, which prevent the actuatingarm from turning too much.
It will be noticed that this faucet is doubleacting-i. e., whichever way the handle J is turned a protuberance, H, strikes a face, 9, and pushes back the upper arm of the lever G, thus letting on the water. But one protuberance H may be provided, if desired, thus rendering the faucet single-actin g.
This faucet is not liable to bind or stick, an its action is positive and sure. The rolling action of the protuberances against the elbowlever renders the former butlittle liable to Wear.
A slight modification would be to merge the two faces 9 g into one by leaving out or filling up the dividing-space between them.
Having thus fully described my invention, whatI claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- V.
1. In a self-closing faucet, the combination, with a lever adapted to raise the valve-stem, of the actuating-arm H, provided with the protuberances H, arranged substantially as shown, to move one arm of said lever when the said arm H is rotated by the turning of the handle J, all substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. In a self-closing faucet, the combination, with the T-shaped valve-stem D D, of the elbow-lever G, provided with the arms G G, and fulcrumed upon the protuberance a, substantially as and for the purpose described.
3. In a faucet, the ejector O and inner shell, C,madeintegraland constructed and arranged substantially as and for the purpose specified.
4. In combination with the actuating-arm H, provided with the protuberances H and tailpiece H, and the elbow-lever G, the inner shell, 0, provided with the stops 0 and pro- 15 jections c, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
