WATER FOUNTAIN Filed Nov. 16. 1928 INVENTOR WITNESS:
ATTORNEY Patented Apr. 1, 1930 PATENT REUBEN KIELSMEIER, 01? BALDWIN PARK, CALIFORNIA WATER FOUNTAIN Application filed November 16, 1928. Serial No. 319,917.
This invention relates to improvements in valve structures embodying among other characteristics means for automatically opening and closing same.
An object of the invention comprehends a silippiorting arm for the valve operating Another object of the invention contem-= plates a spring element adapted to yieldingly 16 position the supporting arm in proper position.
An additional object of the invention 0011- sists in the provision of anoperating lever carried upon the supporting arm and adapted to actuate the-block to unseat the valve.
More specifically stated the supporting arm is provided with adjusting elements whereby the block may be supported in such positions that the operating lever will reci'p 26 rocate the block toactuate the valve member when desired.
With the above and other objects in view, the invention further consists of the following novel features and details of construction, to be hereinafter more fully described,
illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the appended claims.
Inthe drawings Figure 1 is a longitudial sectional'view taken through my invention.
Figure 2 is a view similar to Figure 1 with the water pipe removed and the valve disclosed in open position persuantjto the active position of the operating lever.
Figure 3 is a rear elevation of the invention.
Figure 4 isa bottom vention.
Figure 5 is a front elevation of the invention with certain of the parts removed. I
Referring to the drawings in detail where in like characters of'reference denote corresponding parts, the reference characterlO plan view of the'inindicates a casting for a valve member hav ing inlet and discharge bores 11 and 12 communicating through a passage 13. The bottom wall of the inlet bore 11 about the communicating passageway '13 provides a valve seat 14 for a valve member 15 having the stem 16therefor extended through the passage 13.
A block 17, mounted for reciprocating action within the discharge bore 12, is adapted for engagement with the lowermost depending end of the valve stem 16. i
A supporting arm, such as indicated at 18, pivoted upon a cotter pin 19 passed through the registering apertures in spaced ears 20 rearwardly projected from the valve body or casting 10, is adapted to support the block 17 upon the upper side edge thereof in the manner shown in Figure 1 of the drawing. An extension or arm, such as indicated at 21, in cluding an aperture 22 within its outermost end is adapted to accommodate a loosely fit ting screw threaded shaft 23 having an ad justing nut 2t upon its uppermost end and reposing upon the upper side of the supporting arm 21. A retractile spring 25, having connection at its lowermost end adjacent the outermost extremity of the supporting arm 18, is adapted for connection at its opposite end with a ring 26 formed within the lowermost depending end of the screw threaded shaft 23.
A fin 27, projected in parallelism with the extension or arm 21, receives a vertically dis posed set screw 28 having contacting engagement at its lowermost end with the upper side edge of the supporting arm 18 whereby the clearance between the upper end of the block 17 and the lowermost depending end of the valve stem 16'may be regulated exteriorly of the valve body or casting 10 and against the tension of the spring 25.
A set screw 29, adjustably mounted within the bottom of the casting 10 and to one side of a slot 30 thereinadapted to permit projection of the supporting arm 18, is adapted to engage the underside edge of the supporting arm. 18' to restrict downward movement thereof. A water pan 31, supported at one enctuponlegs32, preferably arranged upon a ledge or shelf 33 at an appreciable height upon a wallstructure34c, carries abail or han dle 35 upon the upper side of itsiopposite end. The yoke portion of the bail or handle is in turn adapted for reception within a cutout portion 36 in the upper side and adjacent the outermost extremity of the supporting arm 18, substantially as illustrated in Figure 2 of the drawings.
An operating lever 37, pivotally and eccentrically mounted, as at 88, upon the supporting arm 18, is adapted to dispose the innermost end thereof immediately beneath the d o he blQ k Suppo ted upo th upper side edge of the arm 18. The outermost end of the operating lever being extended in parallelism with that of the supporting arm 18 adjacent thenotohhdto project beneath and frictionally engage the bail or handle 35 for the receptacle or pan '81.
The weightof the receptacle or pan 3i erating lever .37 upon its pivot to contact with the block 17 to open the valve as illustrated in Figure-2 of the'drawing. This will start the Water flowing from the valve body or casting 10 into thelreceptacle. When the receptaclehasbeen nearlytfilled, its. added weight will overcome the tension of the retracti'le spring'25 upon tl iesupporting arm 18 and lower it to the head of the set screw 29. This movement will be sutlicient to. release the block 1 7 from engagement with the valve stem 16 whereby the valve member 15 will close by water pressure.
When a suitable quantity of the water in the pan or receptacle 31 has'been drunk or evaporated, the spring will then be called into use to retract the arm 18 to occupy .the positions shown in Figures 1 and 2 of the drawing, but the operating lever 37 will always remain in the Figure 2 position hereby the valve 15 will again become unseated and the receptacle-or pan 31 will be constantly filled to a predetermined level.
Obviously the block 17 is or" such weight as to cause'constant contacting engagement 7 of the upperside edge ofthe operating lever with the inner sidelofthe yoke portion for,
the bail or handle 35. V
then it is necessary to remove the pan or receptacle for .cleaningor other purposes thebail is removed irom the notch in the end of the supporting arm 18and .the operating lever 3'4 will then occupy the Figure 1 position to liberate the bloc]; 117 fromithe valve. The pressureof the water against the valve '15 wi avtom c lyv ut il the Water up ly- The invention is susceptible of various changes in its form, proportions andminor details of construction, and the right is herein reserved tomakesuch changes as properly iall'within the scope of the appendedclaims.
