SODA-WATER VALVE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 14,1913.

Application filed April 27, 1912. Serial No. 693,587.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, CHARLES F. FREESE, a citizen of the United States of America, and resident of Fort Wayne, in the county of Allen and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Soda-Water Valves, of which the following is a specification. I v

This invention relates to improvements in soda-water valves for mixtures composed of syrup and soda-water, and the object of the improvement is to afford a valve for controlling the flow of.soda-water and syrup simultaneously or separately, and to regulate the quantitative discharge of syrup.

The object of the invention is accomplished by the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which:

Figure 1 is a plan view of the device partly broken away; Fig. 2 is an elevation ofthe same partly in vertical section; Fig. 3 is a transverse section of Fig. 4 on the line wa2 thereof. Fig. 4 is a rear elevation of the device; Fig. 5 is an elevation showlng a supply tank for syrup and a gas tank in connection therewith; and Fig. 6 is an elevation showing the discharge end of a sodawater supply tank.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding arts throughout the several views and re erring now to the same :-1 is a valve-case, having connected with its lower end a cylindrical cup 2 in which is arranged a loose piston 3. Within the case is arranged a valve 4 and within the valve 4 is a secondary valve 5 having an operating stem 6, the valves havin a common axial center. The valve 5 has a ange 7 in which is made a recess 8, and the valve 4 has in its upper end a screw 9. the head of which extends into the recess and limits the turning movement of the valve 5 relative to the valve 4 by coming into contact with the flange at the respective end of the recess. The valve 4 is turned in the casing by the manipulation of the valve 5. The casing has four

opposite ports

10 and 10 and 11 and 11. Upon one side of the valve 4 is a pocket 12 adapted to connect either the ports 10 and 11 or the ports 10 and 11' accordingly as the valve is turned, and upon the opposite side of the valve is a port 13 adapted to communicate at its upper end with the ports 11 and 11

correspondlng ports

15 and 15 in the case.-

The valve 5 has a transverse port 16, and the valve 4 has

ports

17 and 18 in line therewith and which are adapted to register with the ports 11 and 11' when properly turned.

A plate 4 secured to the bottom of the valve 4 acts against the adjacent end of the case and holds the valve in place. Upon one side of the case is a spout 19 containing discharge pipes 20 and '21, the former having connection at its inner end with the port 1. in the case, and the latter pipe having connection with the port 15 through an extension pipe 22. The outer ends of the

discharge pipes

20 and 21 extend through a plug 23 in the spout, and terminate within a hood 24 secured to the end of the spout. The ports 10 and 10' each have connection with the lower part of the-cylindrical cup 2 through a Y pipe 25.

Upon the stem 6 of the valve 5 is a handle 26 by which the valve is manipulated, and through the bottom of the cylindrical cup extends an adjusting screw 27 by means of which the movement of the piston?) in the cup may be limited more or less accordingly as the screw is turned.

It is the intention that both the syrup and soda-water shall be introducedinto the valve under pressure from suitable sources of supply, and respective apparatus for supplying same is indicated in Figs. 5 and 6. In Fig. 5 28 is a closed tank containing syrup, said tank having a discharge pipe 29 communicating with its lower part, and 30 is a tank containing gas under pressure and having connection with the upper part of the tank 28 through a pipe 31. As gas from the tank 30 enters the tank 28, the contents of the latter are expelled through the pipe 29. This pipe has connection with the port 11 in the case 1. In Fig. 6 a tank 32 containing the soda-water under pressure is provided with a discharge pipe 33 which has connection with the port 15 in the case 1.

In the operation of the invention, when the valve 4 is in the position shown in Fig.

2, syrup will enter the upper part of the cylinder 2 through the port 13 in the-valve, driving the piston downwardly 1n the cup. The syrup in the cup, beneath the piston, is

expelled, ,by the downward movement of the piston, through the Y pipe 25 from whence it passes through the pocket 12 and discharged through the pipe 20. Vhen t e piston strikes t e screw 27 the discharge referred to ceases. It is the intention that the port 14 in the valve 4 shall register with the

ports

15 and 15 when the valve is in theflposition shown m 'F1g. 2 so Y be discharged through the pipe 21, at the' If the valve 5 be then turned backwardly that soda-water will flow therethrough and same' time the syrup is discharged. through the pipe 20. When the valvev 4 is turned to a position diametrically opposlte to that just described, the respective posit1ons of the pocket 12 and port 13 will have been transposed so that syrup will be directed through the pocket and the Y pipe into the lower part of the cup, forcing the piston to rise. The contents of the cup, above the piston, are expelled through the port 13 and pipe 20. When the valve 4 1s turned so that its

ports

17 and 18 register respectively with the ports 11 and 11', the port 14 in the valve will not then register with the corresponding ports in the case so that soda-water will not then be discharged.

I by disconnecting the source of supply of syrup, the ports, pipes and measuring device may be washed-clean of syrup by turning the soda-water on. The soda-water entering the hood from the pipe 21 is forced back through the pipe 20 and from thence into the measuring device, the flow entering either above or below the piston therein accordingly as the valve is manipulated.
