Appication led .T une 10, 1914. Serial No. 844,295.

To ZZ ulm/'n 1' t may concern Be it known that I, saAnL S. BLATTXER, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Mclieesport, in the count-y of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, haver invented certain new and useful mprovements in Faucets, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

rlhis invention relates to faucets andyhas for its object to provide a device of such class, in a manner as hereinafter set forth7 with a spring controlled valvular member for opening and closing the discharge end of the faucet to and from a liquid supply and to further provide said valvular member with a spring controlled packing to prevent leakage when said member is shifted to a position to open the faucets, or to a position closing the faucet.

Further objects of the invention are to provide a faucet which is simple in its construction and arrangement, strong, durable, eliicieut and convenient in its use, readily assembled. and inexpensive to manufacture.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, the invent-ion consists of a novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter more specifically clescribed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein is shown an embodiment of the invention, but it is to be understood that changes, variations and modifications can be resorted to which come within the scope of the claims lhereunto appended.

In 'describing the invention in detail reference is had to the accompanying drawings wherein like reference characters denote corresponding part-s throughout the severalh The upper portion of the valve easing 5 has formed therein a pair of diametrically opposed lengthwise extending slots 9, and near its lower end with an inlet opening 10 and an outlet opening 11. The diameter of each of said openings is less than the diameter of the chamber 6.

Formed integral with the valve 'casing'5, near its lower end, is an inlet nipple l2 having the bore thereof of two diameters, the larger of which is indicated at 13 and the smaller at 11. The portion 14 of the bore of the nipple 12 registers with the inlet opening 10. The inlet nipple 12 is furthermore provided with an annular peripheral shoulder 15 and peripheral threads 16 whereby said nipple 12 can be secured to a supply pipe and the shoulder 15 constituting an abutment for the supply pipe, the latter not being shown.

Formed integral with the casing 5, near its lower end and projecting in the direction opposite to that in which the nipple 12 extends. is a curved discharge spout 17, having its bore o f two 'different diameters, the larger of which is indicated at 18 and the smaller at 19. That portion 19 of the bore of the spoilt 17 registers with the outlet opening 11.

Arranged within the valve chamber 6, snugly engaging the wall thereof, and of a greater length than the valve casing 5, is a cylindrical and vertically movable valvular member 20, having a transverse port 21, which is adapted to register with the open ings 10 and 11, whenV the said member 2O is shifted downwardly. The member 20 at its top has a screw threaded stem 22, and secured to the latter is a. cap 23, which surrounds the upper portion of the valvular member 20 and also the upper portion of the valve casing 5.

Surrounding the upper portion of the member 20 and interposed between the cap 23 and the top of the valve casing 5, is a coil spring 24:, which acts to normally maintain the port 21 out of alinement with the openings 10 and 11. When the valvular member 20, is shifted downwardly, to bring the port 21 to register'with the openings l() and 11, such movement of the member 2O 24, whereby when pressure is relieved upon the cap 23, the spring 24 will immediately shift the member 20 so that the port 2l will be moved out of register with the openings 10 and 11.

The upward movement of the valvular member 20, is arrested through the medium of a stop disk 25, which is secured to the lower end of the member 20, by a hold-fast device 26. The disk is of greater diameter than the4 member 20 so as to engage the seat 8, to arrest the upward movementof said member 20. The disk 2.7 is also adapted to engage the shoulder 7. The downward movement of the member 20 is arrested through the medium'of a pin 2T, which 'extends through the member 20 and into the slots 9. 'hen the member 20 is shifted downwardly the projecting ends of the pin 27, engagingv the bottoms of the slots 9, will arrest further downward movement of the packing is employed and which consists of a split sleeve 2%, surrounding the reduced i portion 2f) of vthe member 20. The reduced portion 29 is vinterposed between the port 2i Y .30, a pin 32 is employed, the latter beingand the lower end of said member 2Q and when the faucet is closed the sleeve 28 1s arranged to extend across the inner ends ot'v the openin, 10 and l1. The length of the sleeve 28 i's greater than the diameter of either opening 10 or 11. The member .20, below the port 21, and at the reduced portion 2f), is provided with a transverse opening 30, in which is arranged a coil spring 31, for forcing the sleeve 28 outwardly, .to snugly engage the wall of the chamber 6;

To prevent turning movement of the sleeve seated in the sleeve 30 and the reduced por- 4 tion 29 of the member 20. v 'What I claim is z- A faucet comprising avvalvecasing provided with vertical slots at diametrica'lly opposite points therein, inlet and outlet seetions formed integral with said casing and projecting in opposite directions, the bores of saidyinlet and outlet sections being re-v secured to the bottom of said .valvular member, the lower edge of said casing being -offsety to provide an annular seat therein,

said seat receiving said plate therein and.

limiting the upward movement of the valvular member, a cap secured to the top of said valvular member and inclosing the upper port-ion thereof, a spring secured between said casing and said cap, and a pin projecting at its terminals radially from said valvular member and projecting through the slots in said valve casing to also limit the movement of the valvular member.

-In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
