FAUCET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 595,222, dated December 7, 189'?.
Application tiled. January 7, 1897.
T0 @ZZ whom t may concern:
Beit known that I, NATHAN S. WAKEEIELD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Pomona, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented a new and useful Faucet, of which the following is a speciiication.
The purpose of this invention is the provision of a simple means for securing a steady and uniform flow when drawing off the liquid contents of a can, barrel, cask, or other receptacle in which the liquid is stored in bulk. The improved means is in the shape of a faucet, from which extends a vent-pipe whereby air is admitted to the upper portion of the can or receptacle simultaneously with the unseating of the valve for drawing off the fluid contents of the receptacle. The faucet is constructed with especial reference to simplicity and etliciency and to admit of access being readily had to the component parts for any desired purpose and also to be utilized as a bung or vent for replenishing the can or receptacle when required.
Other objects and advantages will appear in the course of the following description, and for a full understanding of the merits and advantages of the invention reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings andthe detailed description thereof.
The improvement is susceptible of various changes in the form, proportion, and the minor details of construction without departing from the principle or sacrificing any of the the invention an adaptation thereof is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of a faucet constructed in accordance with this invention, showing it applied. Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1, showing the parts in section. Fig. 3 is a detail view showing the faucet and vent-pipe open. Fig. a is a section on the line X X of Fig. 3.
Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in the several views of the drawings by the same reference-characters.
The faucet comprises a casing 1 and a valve or plunger 2. The casing has an outer flange 3, by means of which it is secured to the can,
Cask, or other receptacle a in which the liquid Serial No. 618,322. (No model.)
to be drawn o is stored. A cap 5 closes the outer open end of the casing 1 and has screwthread connection therewith, so as to be readily removed when required, and this cap has a boss G at its center, which is internally threaded to receive a stem 7, having an eX- terior thread matching the thread of the boss 6. The inner end of the casing has a valveseat 8, against which the valve or plunger 2 closes, and is provided with a spout 9 for the egress of the liquid when the valve or plunger is unseated. p
The valve or plunger 2 may be of cork, rubber, leather, or other material generally employed in the construction of devices of this character, and fits snugly within the casing 1, and has a peripheral groove 10, which is adapted to register with the vent-pipe 11, and an opening or vent 12, whereby air is admitted to the upper portion of the cask, can, or other receptacle to prevent the formation of a vacuum and take the place of the liquid drawing off, thereby insuring a uniform and steady stream. A metallic washer 13 is riveted or otherwise secured to the rear face of the valve and is centrallyapcrtured, and the inner end of the operating-stern 7 has loose connection therewith, so as to admit of the stem being turned to move the valve longitudinally without effecting arotation thereof.
In practice the faucet is applied to the lowest portion of the can, tank, or receptacle, and the vent-pipe l1 is arranged to communicate with the upper portion of the said receptacle. l/Vhen it is required to draw olf a quantity of the liquid, the stem 7 is operated so as to unseat the valve and is moved until the groove 10 thereof registers with the opening 12 and vent-pipe 11, when the air entering the opening 12 will pass into the vent-pipe through the groove 10, thence into the upper portion of the receptacle to take the place of the liquid passing off, thereby insuring an uninterrupted iiow and preventing spluttering and dribbling, as frequently happens with the ordinary faucet as generally constructed.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is- A faucet constructed substantially in the manner set forth, comprising a casing having an inner and an outer flange at its inner end, the outer iiange serving to secure the casing IOO the vent-opening and vent-pipe, and a cap 'having positive and adjustable connection with the outer end of the easing, substan- I5 tially as specified.
' In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two Witnesses. Y
