LATCH HANDLE Filed Aug. 12, 1929 I Z22; O /7 Patented Mar. 24, 1931 JOHN F. BENTLEY, or nn'rnornmrcnrem I LATCH HANDLE Application filed August 12, 1929. SeIiaI'No. 385,401.
This invention relates to handles and more particularly to a handle for use in connection with the faucet shown and describedin my co-pending application, Serial Number 5 299,748,.filed August 12, 1928.
The main object of the invention is to provide a simple and efficient handle which may be manipulated to impart both rotary and vertical reciprocating movement to the proper elements of the faucet.
Another object is to provide ahandle embodying a locking element or latch whereby the handle may be locked in an adjusted position.
With these and other objects in view the invention resides in the novel construction and arrangement of parts as hereinafter set forth and claimed.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a sectional view of a faucet upon which my improved handle is mounted, the said handle being also partially shown in section.
Figure-2 is a plan view of the handle alone.
.Figure 3 is an enlarged sectional detail view of the handle showing the same in the depressed position.
Referring now more particularly to the the drawingthe reference character A denotes the faucet which embodies a handle cap 13 to be rotated and a nozzle 8 to be raised and lowered in the operation of the faucet as fully set forth in the aforementioned co-pending application. An ear 16 is extended'from the handle cap 13 and the ear is provided with a notch 20 in its for? ward edge as shown.
The handle B is provided with a recess 17 adapted to loosely receive the ear 16 and the handle is fulcrumed on this ear by a suitable pin 19 passed through the handle and the ear. A latch 22 is slidably mounted in the extension 17a of the recess 17 and this latch has an angularly formed and serrated nose 21 adapted to further enter the said notch 20 when the latch 22 is moved toward the ear 16. An expansion coil spring 23 within the recess 17a underneath the latch 22 and braced between the margin 24 of the recess and the depending lip 25 of the latch normally partly retracts the said latch from the notchr20. A thumb-piece 26. is mounted upon the shank 27 of the latch 22 which shank projects upwardly through a slot 28 in a removable plate 28a mounted over the recess 17a, means being thus afforded for moving the said latch into further engagement with the notch 20 in the ear 16. It will be noted that the thumb piece 26 has an extended nose 26a which covers the slot 28 to exclude dust or water or other foreign matter from the working mechanism of the handle. The rear end of the handle B has the spaced ears 29 between which is .pivotally pinned at 30 the upper end of the nozzle elevator rod 31, the lower end of which elevator rod is bent forwardly and terminates in a ring 32 which embraces the nozzle 8 and is secured thereto by setscrews 33 at some distance below the lowermostportion of the faucet A. i It will be. readily apparent that the handle cap 13 may be rotated by simply turning the handle B and further that the nozzle 8 may be raised by depressing the forward end of the said handle. When the handle is thus depressed the nose 21. of the latch 22 may be moved into engagement with the notch 20 and serves to hold the handle in the depressed position. V
While I have herewith set forth a certain preferred embodiment of my invention itis understood thatI may varyfrom the same in minor structural details, so as best to construct a practical device, within the scopeof 1 c the appended claims.
I claim: c
1. In a device of the kind described, in combination with a faucet embodying a rotatable handle cap and an ear extended therefrom having a notch, a valve operating handle fulcrumed on the said ear, and a spring retractible latch slidably mounted in the said i handle to releasably engage the said notch in the ear. I 2. In a device of the kind described, in
combination with a faucet'embodying a 1'0- tatable handle cap and anea r extended therefrom the said ear having a notch, avalve op-.
erating handle having a recess to receive the said ear, the said handle being fulcrumed on the said ear, a latch slidably mounted in the said handle, a serrated nose upon the said latch for movement by the latch into engagement With said notch in the ear when the handle is in one position and a spring in the said handle operatively engaging the said latch to urge the same outward from the ear.
3. Ina device oithekind described, in combination With a faucet embodying a handle cap, an ear extended from the cap having a handle fulcrumed on the eaf, a latch slidably mounted in the handle and adapted. tore-.1.
leasably engage the said notch in the ear, and
a nozzle elevator rod secured w thesaid noz-:
zle and pivotally. attached tothesaid handle. 11 t im ny h o I afi xi v natu e- JOHN g NTLEti
