INYENTUII a r mmm NJERS. PHOTO-LITHOGRAFHER, WAGEN-G10, D4 c- UNITED STATES JOSEPH BARTON, OF HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT.
IMPROVEMENT IN CASK-TILTERS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 173,203, dated February El, 1876 'application filed f January 3, 1876.
To all whom it may concern: Y
Be it known that I, JosEPEBARToN, of the city and county of Hartford, Connecticut, have invented a new and Improved Cask- Tilter, of which the following is a specification:
Figure 1 represents a top view, Fig. 2 a vertical longitudinal section, and Fig.3 a sectional side view, of the automatic cask-tilting device. v
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
My inventionis intended to tilt ale, beer, porter, cider, and other barrelsin perfectly automatic manner, so that the liquor in the barrelor keg is not disturbed in the least, and
may be drawn off entirely without making any Apart of it unfit for use.
The invention consists of a cask or barrel supporting stand that is provided at the rear part with a spring-bearer that worksl in a socket hung to the stand, and tiltsthe'barrel when released from the `socket by alever device from the front.
1n the drawing, A represents a stand for supporting a barrel, keg, or cask containing any liquor that is usually drawn from the wood. The higher front part. of the stand is provided with projecting studs a, that prevent the barrel from sliding or moving on the front .part when raised at the rear part of the stand,
To bearings b at the rear part of the stand A is hung, by pivots or gudgeons d, a socket or case, C, which carries the bearer D, that is guided to slide in vertical direction along the socket in suitable manner, being acted upon by a strong spiral spring, e. When the bearer D is forced down the spring is compressed in the socket, the bearer D being locked in this position by a spring-acted pin, f, that enters into a hole, f', of the guide-piece. A lever-rod,
E, isapplied to locking-pin f, pivoted to the rear part of the stand, and extended to the front part, where it is guided in a` staple, g. The bearer D corresponds to the shape of the barrel, but is provided with sharp points or prongs, h, at the ends, that bite into the wood and take. hold of the barrel. After the barrel is placed on the stand and tapped the leverrod is moved sidewise to withdraw the 'locking-pin and release4 the spring-bearer.
When the barrel is emptied to such an extent that the power of the spring equals and gradually overcomes the pressure of the liquor still remaining therein, the rear part of the barrel is slowly and imperceptibly raised, and
thus the barrel tilted without causing the least disturbance in the liquor.
The front studs and prongs of the bearer hold the barrel securely, while the spring, in
connection with the pivoting of the bearersockets, allows the gradual tilting of the barrel without releasing the prongs or causing sudden jerks,'that disturb the liquor andmake it unfit for use. ofi' entirely in a perfectly clear state without requiring any looking after the same, the tilting being` accomplished automatically bythe spring-bearer, and in a manner superior to the raising of the barrel by hand.
I am aware that spring-supports for rearv end of cask have been used heretofore; but
What I claim is- 1. The tube C, journaled in bearings bb, and guiding the bearer D, as well as the spring, in the manner described.
2. The combination, with a sliding springbearer, of a locking-pin and operating leverrod, for releasing the bearer to act on ythe barrel, substantially as specified.
