1 Claim.
This invention relates to a combination bubbler and glass filler for use in dispensing drinking water from a refrigerator and by means of which the drinking water can be taken into the mouth directly from the bubbler from whence it flows in an upward stream, or by means of which the stream can be diverted into a downward flow of water in a manner capable of being caught in a glass or other receptacle.
With water coolers in use at the present time, more or less difficulty is experienced in filling any type of container on account of the proximity of the drainage basin to the dispensing outlets of the devices. It is desirable to place the drainage basin sufiiciently close to the discharge outlet to satisfactorily catch overflow. This arrangement ordinarily does not permit the placing of a receptacle of any size in position to be filled.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a bubbler from which water can be taken directly into the mouth and to provide a drinking spout or gooseneck alternately usable with the bubbler and swingable from an inoperative bubbler unobstructing position to an operative flow diverting position which serves to divert the fiow from the bubbler through the receptacle filling spout.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, wherein Fig. 1 isavertical section illustrating one application of the invention with the glass filler in operative position;
Fig. 2, a section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3, a section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 4, a view similar to Fig. 1 with the glass filler in inoperative position; and
Fig. 5, a section on the line 5--5 of Fig. 4.
Referring to the drawing, a bubbler body I0 is provided with a threaded opening II for the attachment of a pipe (not shown) through which water is discharged from a water cooler. The body I0 is providedwith a bubbler discharge nozzle I2 by means of which the stream of water is directed upwardly through the bubbler.
Between the threaded opening II and the bubbler discharge nozzle I2 is provided a chamber l3 in which is mounted a rotary plug or valve body I4. The valve chamber I3 and valve body I4 are tapered in order to provide a tight fit when the valve is moved axially in the valve chamber and in order to maintain this tight seat and yet permit the valve to be easily rotated a spring I5 is provided.
Y., a corporation of The bubbler body I0 is provided with a passage I6 which connects the threaded opening II and the chamber I3 and when the parts are in the position shown in Fig. 1, a port I I in the valve body provides communication into the interior chamber I8 of the valve.
A glass filler or gooseneck I 9 is fixed tothe hollow valve body I l and serves as a rotating means therefor, the amount of rotation of which valve body beingdetermined by a lug I4 in a semicircular recess 20. Pressure of the spring I5 binds the parts together.
The spring I 5 is confined between a cap 20 and the upper end of the valve, said cap being secured in position by screws or other fastening means H. The cap is further provided with a guard 22 for preventing contact of the lips or other parts of the person drinking with the bubbler nozzle. The cap 20 may be provided with a recess 23 for receiving the spring l5 if desired.
The bubbler nozzle I2 may be further provided with an auxiliary tip or nozzle 24, having orifices 25, so that water cannot be sprayed upon bystanders by obstructing the end of the nozzle. The valve I4 is chambered for the major portion of its circumference as at 26, the outer rim of the passage I'I forming a straight line with the upper portion of the valve body which closes the passage through the bubbler nozzle. The reason for this relatively large chamber or recess 26 which extends over the major portion of the circumference of the valve body is in order that at no time will the outlet from the cooling tank be closed whereby, should the controls fail to function properly and the water begin to freeze in the cooling tank, water displaced by the forming ice would have a free opening to discharge to the waste and consequently prevent bursting of the cooling tank.
Therefore, the circumferential recess in the valve body is extended sufiiciently far so that the land on the body between this body and the recess and the port opening to the gooseneck is narrower than the width of the port I6, so that in making the change-over from the bubbler to the gooseneck, or vice versa, there is a point in the revolution of the valve body where both ports are connected. At the same time ports l6 and I1 are kept to a minimum width or diameter, in order that the connection to the. gooseneck will not be made until the gooseneck is over the rim of the drain basin. It will be readily understood, therefore, that when the glass filler, or gooseneck I9, is in the position shown in Fig. l, a glass or vessel may be filled. In the opposite position shown in Fig. 4 the goose'neck is in inoperative position and the bubbler is therefore usable.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various other changes may be made in the construction and arrangement without departing from the spirit of the invention, and therefore the invention is not limitedto" that which is described in the specification and shown-in the drawing, but only as indicated in the appended claim.
What is claimed is: v a r A combination bubbler and glass filler com prising a bubbler body having an inlet, an upwardly directed bubbler discharge passage and achamber, a hollow valve body rotatably mounted in said chamber, constructed to direct liquid flow from said inlet alternatively to said bubbler discharge passage and to the interior of said valve body, a goose neck glass filler having its inlet end secured in communication with the interior of said valve body, said valve body being provided with a chamber extending substantially around the major portion of the same and having a passage from the "interior through the unchambered portion, movable upon rotation of said valve body into or out of registration with said inlet, the relative circumferential extent of said inlet and chamber being such that an open discharge passage through the device will be provided at all times regardless of the relative positions of the parts JAMES M. CLARKE.
