. I typ Be it known that I, AND EW J Gonmon, a citizen of the United States, residmg at Stateiof Ohio, have invented certain new and: useful Improvements in Faucets and .Bib-Cocks; and I'do hereby declare the fol lowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains V to makeand use the same.

This invention relates to water cocks of the com "ression'type or the compression bib e as own to the trade, the object being to construct .a'cock of this nature which will have all the advantages of the so-called Fuller bib cock, at the same time elimi- 'nating the disadvantages inherent in the Y construction ofthe Fuller bib type of cock. The Fuller bib type of cock has the 'advantageover the 'ordinar screw valve type of. cock, in that in the Fuller? bib type, all that is necessary a fractional turn. At most a uarte'r turn opens the valve of the cock ully, while the reverse movement closes the valve fully.

g The main obj to construct a. valve having all the advantages of a fractional turn valve as above set forth whileat the same time obviating,

first, expense of' construction, secondly I pounding, and thirdlyleakage of the valve,

This-invention consists in a construction whereby a full opening of the valve is obtained through a quick acting elevating or opening medium, such as a quickiactmg screw, and with means for controlling the distance to which said opening canbe made. with the object in view of obviating the above difiiculties, I will set forth my inven tion as applicable to atype-of cock known as the basin cock, in which is shown the invention as will be hereinafter fully set forth and claimed. I

4 In the accompanying drawings, the figure is a view of the basin cock showing the same in vertical section,-which is taken through the body, cap and adjusting device of the cock, leaving the valve screw, stem and bandle in elevation. This figure shows the valve open but it is easy to determine the closed 'condition'from this figure.

As hereinbefore set forth, I have shown, and will set forth this invention as adaptect of this invention is, first I ed for use as a basin or sink cock,'but' it understood that it is immaterial so far as the features of the invention are concerned, as to what the construction, as"related-to the contour, or other features, may embody, or the analogous use to which this invention may be put.

1, represents the casing with itsusual inlet and outlet valve chamber and valve seat. The valve chamber 2, is internally screwthreade'das at 3, for engaging an enlarged screw thread l, on valve stem 5, whereby the valve 5', is raised or lowered to open position or closed position. The screw thread 3, and the thread4, are preferably of such a pitch that the full opening of the valve will be obtained-upon a quarter turn of the valve stem, and hence upon the return action or opposite action the valve'will be closed. Inasmuch as it is necessary or preferable that a stop be employed or pro vided to determine the full opening position 'ofthe valve, and it being preferable that such stop'be adjustable, I have pro-' vided the following construction which is the embodiment of this invention.

At its upper end the valve case is sore? threaded as at 6, for the purpose of engaging the internal screw thread of the cap 7.

This cap 7 is provided with the usual washer and packing, but is. alsoprovided with an adjustable stop piece 8, which is screw threaded as at 9, in the upper end of the 'cappiece. The adjustable stop piece 8,

is made so as to-tightly fit or screw fit into the upper portion of thecap as at 9, and so as to be adjusted up or down, or in or out relative to said cap 7 In order to provide means for adjusting or determining the open position of the valve through the medium of the valve stem 5, I have provided a shoulder 10, by reducing the upper end of the valve stem 5, and have fitted the stop 8, to said reduction, the fit being what is known as a sliding 'fit. Thus it will be seen that as the stop 8, is adjusted'it controls the upward lift of the valve 5", which obviates the necessity of predeterminingat the shop the thickness of the washer or the position of the rigid stop in other forms of valves, allowing the full flow of the water at some fractional turn of the valve. In

some cases where the pressure is high,-the

opening of the valve 5, could be less than and described certain features of constru'c a quarter turn, and where the-pi' ss sfe less,-more than a qu'arterturnm v Wielowed.

It will be seen from the above description a casing provided taken in*connection with the drawing, that such a-constructionas'above setlforth is one which is simpleto -make and is a edck inpredetermined discharge'canbe 0b .which a tained regardless of the pressure off-the water; .Thns when the deliveryof'the fluid is greater than .is'r'e uired or 'convenient, the extent to (which, the valve can be opened may be diminished. This is a feature that is 15 in hotels and in otherplaces'and' at the same of value especially time there is allthe advantagesof the quick; acting deliver service;

' -In setting orth this'invention'as hereto v fore applied I have'shown and described it as j tion-as I connected with a basin cock, and have shown thinkthem best adapted for their functions, but-I do not wish to be limited -to this construction, as it is obvious-that 1 mg said shoulder.

they may be varied or modifiedwithout x i-16 fectin'g, the gist o'f this invention.
