Specification of Letters Patent,

Patented Mar, its. 2 Qt Application filed April 4;, 1912. Serial 5J0, 688.472

To all IP/ZHHZ if may concern Be it known that I, Bronson) T. IllYLL'ETI and Joux ll, illcKrrvev, citizens of the l'nitcd States. residin; at Latrobe. in the county of ll'cstmoreland, State of Pennsylvania. have invented a new and useful Valve, of which the following a specification. i

v This invention relates to an improvement in valves.

The primary object of the present invention is to provide an attachment for faucets, which will permit the valvestem to be removed and repaired, without cutting oil the supply of water.

A further object of the present invention is to provide means for opening the valve permitting-'the escape of water and air when the supply ofwater has been cut'ofi' at a point remote from the valve.

A still further object of the present invention is to provide means acted upon by the water previous to its exit through the faucet, for causing the delivery of the water in a solid stream, thereby preventing splashing.

A still further objectis to provide a valve structure in which the various washers, etc, may be removed and replaced without pen mitting the escape of water through the faucet.

With the foregoing and other objects inview which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combi-' nation and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed. it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Figure l is a sectional view. Fig. 9 is a detail view of the valve member. Fig. 3 a detail view of the lower end of the valve In the drawings, 10 designates a faucet. The faucet. receives the stem 11 which at a point adjacent its base is formed with the annular groove 12 connnunicatinp, with the vertically disposed bore 14, a passage 15 which enters the stem through the groove 12 communicating with the vertically disposed cation with the outlet 16 of the same. The

lower terminal of the stem is provided with a "washer 1?, said washcrseating upon the valve seat 1%. Disposed for movement within the chamber- 19 is a cylindrical-valve member '20 which is formed with a plurality of slots 21, and the vertically disposed conical extension 22 the apex of which projects within the borc'll and closes the same, the water outlet 16 thus being cut otl whenthe washer is seated upon these-at 18, the pressure of the water holding the floating valve member in the position shown in Fig. 1. ll'hen it is desired to remove the valve stem to place a new washer on the same, orrenew the stem or repairthe same,

the stem is IQXTIOYGCh-tllB water pressure forcing the valve member 20 which is provided with the bevel portion 24: in contact with the bevel portion 26 of the casing, cutting 05 the supply of water from the outlet 16, the-water pressure retaining the member 20 in. this position. After the stem or washer has been repaired the stem is again placed within the casing: and as it is screwed down the member 20 is again forced into position as shown in Fig 1. the pressure of the water at the same time main taining the conical extension 29 within the bore 14. It will he noted by this construetion that the valve stem may be readily rcmoved and replaced without cutting oti' the supply of water.

The valve is opened by rotating stem 11 so as to causethe washer lZ-to lift, off of its seat 18, the water thus being permitted to flow over the valve member 20 and around the conical extension 32 after which it passes out between washer 17 and seat- 18. The water which passes through the faucet when the valve is open is directed against the con cave portion 25 of the member 20, and against the washer 17. thus breaking the force of the water, deadening the same and allowing it to tlow through the outlet 16 in a solid stream, preventing splashing.

lVhen it is desired to cut oft the supply of the water pressure is turned on again the valve member-2O will remain seated on cap 27 a nowing air to escape from pipe through passage 15 to outlet 16 and when water pressure strikes member 20 it will rise oil? passage 15.

It will be noted that the device may be easily and economically manufactured, and that the various parts may be readily assembled.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is 1. A faucet comprising a casing, a valve stem disposed within said casing said stem normally seated across the passage between the inlet and outlet openings of the casing, said valve stembeing formed with a vertically disposed bore and a transverse passage communicating with said here and With the outlet of the using, a pressure actuated valve member-disposed within the casing, said valve member being provided with a conical extension adapted to close the bore in said valve stem, said valve member forming a closure for the passage between the inlet and outlet of the casing when the valve stem is removed.

2. A. faucet comprising a casing, a valve stem normally seated across one end of the passage between the inlet and outlet of said said valve stem being formed adja'cent its base with a circumferential groove, said valve stem being provided with a centrally disposedbore and a passage communicating with the said bore and with said groove, and means separate from and located entirely outside of the valve stem, for normally closing said bore, said bore being opened when the water pressure ceases.

A faucet, comprising a casing, a valve stem disposed within said casing, said valve stem normally seated across the passage he and close I l l l l r l insatiatween'the inlet and outlet portions of said casing said valve stem being provided with a vertlcally disposed bore and a transverse passage which communicates with said bore and the outlet of said casing, and a pressure actuating member separate from and located entirely outside of the valve stem and normally forming a closure for said bore.

4. A faucet comprising a casing, a valve stem disposed within the said casing, said valve stem normally seated across the passage between the inlet and outlet, of the casing a cylindrical member disposed for movement between said inlet and outlet said member adapted to form a closure for the passage between the inlet and outlet when the valve stem is removed, said valve stem. being formed with a vertically dis posed bore, and a transverse passage which communicates with said bore and a conical extension formed integral with the valve member, said. conical 'extensitm normally forming a closure for said bore.

it faucet. comprising a casing, a valve stem arranged within said casing, a washer upon the stem, said washer being normally seated across one end oi the passage between the inlet and outlet of the casing, and pressure actuated means for deflecting the water from the inlet to the periphery of the washer. p

in testimony that we claim the foregoing as our own, we have hereto aiiixed our signatures in the presence of two witnesses.
