Application filed Narch 13, 1915. Serial No. 1d,(l67.
To all whom it may concern :1
Be it known that l, OTTO 'G. Hrronooon, a citizen of the United States, residing at Erie, in the county of Erie and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful lmprovementsin Handles for In the accompanying drawing :Figure 1 is a side elevation of a conventional valve and its stem with an operating handle applied thereto and embodying my improvement, the point of connection between said handle and stem being partly broken away. Fig. 2 is an enlarged top plan view, partly in section, the part in section being taken on the line lF-ll of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail perspective view of the upper end of my improved valve stem. Fig. 4 is a similar view of that portion of the handle which engages said valve stem.
Similar numerals of'reference denote corresponding parts in the several views.
In the said drawing, the reference numeral 1 denotes the stem of a conventional valve 2, provided with the usual screw threads 3 for adjustment. valve stems are squared or formed angular with intermediate plane surfaces at their upper ends to receive a similarly shaped recess in the operating handle, and in the present instance the upper end thereof is formed primarily rectangular at 4 in the usual manner, and is then cut away in circular form at 5 intermediate the length of said rectangular portion, as shown. The handle 6 of the valve stem is recessed at 7 to receive the upper end of said valve stem, and the wall of said recess is notched at 8, as'shown more particularly in Figs. 2 and 4, said notches being arranged in sets of fours to fit accurately onto the squared upper end 4 of the valve stem 1, said construction aifordlng a means for adjusting said handle upon the valve stem in any desired position and for retaining the two accurately against relative Ordinarily said lateral movement when sopositioned, aswill be understood. To retain said handle against removal from said valve stem, 1 pro vide a screw 9, inserted through the side of that portion of the handle fitting over the valve stem end 4, and engaging beneath the shoulder 10 formed on the underside of the squared portions of said stem by the cut away portion 5 thereof.
In operation, when it is desired to locate the handle in any position upon the valve stem, the same will be passed down over the squared portion 4. of said stem, so that any complem'ental four of the notches 8 in the recess of said handle will register with the edges of the squared portion 4 of the said stem, which will retain the two parts most effectually against relative movement laterally. The screw 9 may then be inserted, and
by engaging under the shoulder 10 of the groove 5 most edectually will hold the handle in position on the valve stem against lateral movement.
This construction is distinguished from one wherein a corrugated upper end is provided on the valve stem, which will be received by a similarly corrugated recess in the handle by reason of the fact that in the present instance the upper end of thewa'lve stem is squared in the usual manner, and yet is adapted to be used with my improved handle, it being necessary only that it be cut away in circular form at 5 to adord a locking means against bodily removal of the handle when the screw 9 has been inserted to position.
lit will myself to forming the upper end of the valve stem square, as the same may be of triangular, hexagonal or other angular shape, as may be desired, it being understood that the general configuration of the recess 7 be understood that I do not limit shall correspond thereto, and that the relative adjustment of the notches 8 will be such cross handle, a T handle, or in fact a handle of any construction that may be desired.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In a valve, a stem having its handlereceiving end formed angular with intermediate plane surfaces in cross area, and a handle recessed to fit over said end and having said recess notched complementary to receive and'fit the edges of said angular stem-end in a tions.
2. In a valve, a stem having its handleplurality of adjusted posireceiving end formed. angular with intermediate plane surfaces in cross area, a handle recessed to fit over said end andhaving said recess notched complementary to receive and fit the edges of said angular stemend in a plurality of adjusted positions, and separate means for locking said parts against separation.
'3. In a valve, a stem having its handlemy hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
