BUBBLING CUP ATTACHMENT FOR FAUCETS Filed April 25, 1928 IN ME N TOR l/HRRY NORMAN Gnoss TORNEYS Patented Aug. 5, 1959 HARRY NORMAN CROSS, OF VANCGUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA BUBBLING-CUP ATTAGEMENT FOB FAUCETS Application filed April 25,
My invention relates to improvements in bubbling cup attachments for faucets, the objects of which are to provide means whereby a single movement of a bale will uncouple the attachment from the mouth of the faucet and so c ispose it above the faucet spout as to leave said faucet free to be used. A further object is to provide in an attachment of this type, a simple and exceedingly small fitting which will not be cumbersome or interfere in any way with free access to the wash basin over which it is fitted.
The invention consists essentially of a substantially U-shaped tubular member adapted for attachment to the spout of a faucet by a swinging bale, which is capable of being moved into such a position as to lock the member in connected position at the mouth of the faucet spout, as will be more fully described in the following specification and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a side view of the invention.
Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 22 of Figure 1.
Fig. 3 is adetail view of the clip by which the device is secured to the faucet.
Fig. 4 is a diagrammatic view showing the initial displacement movement.
Fig. 5 is a diagrammatic view showing the final displacement movement.
In the drawings like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.
The numeral 1 indicates generally a faucet spout having a mouth 2. The numeral 3 indicates generally a clip which is adapted to be fitted to the spout 1 adjacent its free end and is formed with a series of interconnected links respectively numbered 4, 5 and 6.
The'linlt 4 is provided with opposed apertured lugs '7 and a pair of trunnions 8. The links 5 and 6 are each provided with a tongue 9 at its forward end, which is adapted to pass through the aperture of, and engage, a lug 7 of the linl; 4 to interlock therewith. At the rear end of the links 5 and 6 are further apertured lugs 10 through which a bolt 11 is passed for the purpose of tightening the several links about the faucet spout.
The numeral 12 indicates a tubular U- shaped member having a suitable jet 13 at its 1928. Serial No. 272,829.
free end and a rubber washer 14 at its inner end, which is adapted to be brought into forcible contact with the mouth 2 of the faucet spout 1. Adjacent the inner end of the member 12 a pair of upstanding offset arms 15 are PTOVlClGCl, one or both of which have an internally projecting stop 16, the purpose ofv which will hereinafter appear. Pivotally mounted intermediate its length upon the trunnions 8 is a U-shaped bale 17 having a pair of handles 18 extending transversely of its base. The bale 17 is equipped at its upper extremities with a pair of'outwardly projecting pins 19 forming pivots for the arms 15 of the U-shaped member 12.
Having thus described the several parts of my invention I will now briefly explain its use. i
When the attachment has been in use and it is desired to remove it so that the faucet can be used in the usual way, one of the handles 18 of the bale 17 is taken between finger and thumb and is swung forwardly and upwardly about its pivot upon the trunnions 8. The initial movement of the bale 17 moves the pivot pins 19 rearwardsand downwards about the trunnions 8, thus lowering the washer 14 from the mouth 2 of the faucet 1, as shown in Figure 4. I i
The continued circumferential movement of the bale causes its legs to engage the stops 16 on the arms 15 and to swing the U-shaped member 12into a position substantially parallel to the free end of the faucet spout as shown in Figure 5, so that the frictional resistance to movement of the several parts or the weight of its jet end 13 will cause it to lie in that position. If a suitable projection of the U- shaped member to the faucet spout is given, the base of the bale 17 will engage its forward or jet portion when tipping it, in which case the stops 16 on the arms 15 may be dispensed with. lVhen setting the U-shaped member into position, the movements above described are reversed, viz: the bale is swung forwardly and downwardly coming into contact with the arms 15 as shown in Figure 1, the movement being continued until the pivot 19 is carried over the vertical centre of the trimnions 8 when the attachment will be firmly 5190 held in position and ready for use as a hubbling cup.
What I claim as my invention is 1. The combination with the spout of a faucet, of a swingingly mounted tubular member adapted for connection to the mouth of the faucet, a bale intermediate the mem her and the spout, means as the bale is swung in one direction for connecting the tubular member to the spout, and means as it is moved .in the other direction for breaking said connection and for disposing said member in a, position remote from the mouth of the faucet spout. I
2. The combination With a faucet spout of a tubular U-shaped member having a jet at one end and having the other end formed for interfitting engagement With said spout, a pair of arms secured to the spout engaging end of the U-shaped member and havingtheir upper extremities oft-set to extend in the directionof said jet and a U-shaped bale having its free extremities pivotally secured to the faucet spout and to the oif-set portions of said arms, the relative arrangement of the pivots connecting thebale to the spout and to said arms being such that the U-shaped member is'movable to or from interfitting engagement 7 with the spout by swinging movement of the 0 bale.
