BEER-FAUCET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 439,510, dated October 28, 1890.
Application filed September 20, 1889. Renewed September 27, 1890. Serial No. 366,318. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOHN B. HOGAN, of North Adams, in the county of Berkshire and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and Improved Beer-Faucet, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved faucet, which is simple and durable in construction, can easily be applied to a keg or cask, and serves for c0nveniently drawing beer and other liquids from the kegs or casks to which it is applied.
The invention consists of a plunger or rod held in. the faucet-body and a cap screwing on the outer end of the said faucet-body and in contact with the said plunger or rod to force the latter inward to remove the bung of the keg or cask.
The invention also consists of certain parts and details and combinations of the same, as will be fully described hereinafter, and then pointed out in the claims.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both figures.
Figure 1 is a sectional side elevation of the improvement as applied, and Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same.
The improved faucet A is provided with the faucet-body B, having the central opening 0 extending from one end to the other and connecting near its middle with an opening D, formed in the outlet E, containing the usual valve F for regulating the flow of the liquid from the keg or cask through the openings O and D into the receptacle to be filled.
One end of the faucet body B is provided with a conical screw-thread Gr, screwing into a threaded part of the opening II in the keg or cask I, which opening is usually closed, before the keg is tapped, by the bung or plug J.
The opposite end of the faucet-body B is provided with a thread K, on which is adapted to screw the cap L, closed on its other end and provided with suitable handles N for convenientlyscrewing the cap on the thread K. On the inside of the cap L is held a washer or ring 0, of leather, rubber, or other suitable material, adapted to be pressed in contact with the head P, formed on one end of a rod P, adapted to pass into the central opening C, and provided 011 its other end with an enlarged portion P adapted to drive the plug J into the keg or cask Iwhen the faucetA is to be applied to the said keg to tap the latter. The head P is formed in the shape of a valve, and is adapted to be seated on a valve-seat Q, formed on the outer end of the valve-body B in the central opening 0.
The operation is as follows: \Vhen the keg I is to be tapped, the operatorfirst moves the bung or plug inward by aid of the faucet or other suitable implement until it is nearly clear of the keg, as shown in Fig. 1. The conical thread Got the faucet-body B is then screwed into the opening II until the flange B of the body 3 rests against the outside of the keg I. The operator then inserts the rod P in the central opening 0, so that the inner enlarged end I of the said rod presses against the bung or plug J while the outer endthat is, the head P--proj ects beyond the outer end of the faucet-body B. The operator now screws the cap L on the thread K, so that the ring or washer O finally comes in contact with the head P, and by further screwing of the cap L the rod P is pressedinward, so that the bung or plug J is driven into the keg I. Further. screwing of the cap L moves the head P to its seat Q, so that the liquid which now flows from the keg I into the central opening C is prevented from leaking out through the outer end of the faucet-body B. \Vhen the operator nowopens the valve Fin the outlet E, the liquid flows from the keg through the central opening G into the opening D through the valve F and into the receptacle to be filled.
It is to be understood that the rod P is considerably less in GI'OSS'SGClElOH than the diameter of the opening 0, so that the flow of the liquid is not interrupted by the said rod. It
will further be understood that by simply screwing up the cap L the operator is enabled to drive the plug J inward, in order to tap the keg or cask.
Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure byLetters Patent- 1. In a faucet, the combination, with a fancet-body provided with :1 central opening and and provided on one end with a valve-head, a cap screwing on the said faucet-body against the said valve-head to seat the latter on the outer end of the central opening, and a Washer or ring of flexible material held in the said cap, substantially as shown and described.
