F. c. PICUT DISPENSING FAUCET HANDLE Original Filed Nov. 26, 1937 mm 6 m I Weder z'cf? x z'cz l @M? Patented Dec. 6, 1938 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFIQE DISPENSING FAUCET HANDLE Frederick C. Picut, Newark, N. J., assignor to Economy Faucet 00., Newark, N. J., a corporation of New Jersey 1 Claim.
The invention relates to dispensing faucet handles of the type used in connection with faucets for dispensing beer, and has for itsobject to provide a device of this character for accurately positioning the handle knob on the handle end With the legend on the knob, either facing the operator or the customer, and accurately positioned.
A further object is to provide a knob connection between the knob and handle end comprising a threaded member extending into the handle end, and into the knob, and bushing threaded on the handle end and adapted to be unscrewed and jammed against the knob end for holding the knob in adjusted position, either with its legend inwardly or outwardly disposed.
A further object is to provide a quick detachable coupling means between the hand lever knob and the hand lever, thereby allowingthe same to be easily and quickly removed. Also to flatten angularly one side of the knob for the reception of a legend, for instance advertising matter.
With the above and other objects in view the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter set forth, shown in the drawing, described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the drawing:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a conventional form of faucet and a portion of. a counter, showing the knob attaching means.
Figure 2 is a front elevation of the knob and attaching means.
Figure 3 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view through the knob attaching device.
Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 1, but showing the knob reversed so the customer at the counter can read the legend on the knob.
This application is a divisional part of my application, Serial No. 176,704, filed November 26, 1937.
It is the present practice for breweries and beverage manufacturers to furnish knobs l for faucets 2, and which knobs have legends thereon, for instance. the name of the manufacturer or the name of the particular beverage. It has been found that Where a flattened surface 3, is used for the legend, the thread 4 in the knob, when the knob is screwed tight, is such a pitch when tightened on the stud 5 that the legendor flattened portion will not be properly positioned in relation to the operator or the customer.
It has also been found that where it is desired to have the legend outwardly disposed so it can be observed by a customer over the counter i, it will not stay in place and will rotate. To obviate the above difiiculties the handle 6 is provided with a knurled bushing la, threaded at 8 thereon. The bushing la is provided with an annular flange 9 between the knob I and the handle end and after the knob is properly positioned, the knurled bushing is backed up or unscrewed until it jams against the under side of the handle, therefore it will be seen that the handle knob may be locked and held in adjusted position as shown in Figure 1' or in Figure 4.
From the above it will be seen that a knob holding coupling is provided for faucet handles, which is simple in construction, and one which may be applied to conventional forms of handles, Many handles are exteriorly threaded for the reception of threaded flanges carried by knobs, and the same difficulty of positioning the flat surfaces 3 is experienced. It is obvious that the bushing may be threaded on the knob instead of on the handle end if desired.
The invention having been set forth what is claimed as new and useful is:
A faucet handle knob connection for connecting a knob to a handle end, said connection comprising a stud carried by one of said members, a bushing threaded on one of said members, said bushing being adapted to be threaded outwardly into engagement with one of said members for holding the knob against rotation.
FREDERICK C. PICUT.
