Description
UNITED sTaTEs PATENT oEEroE.
GEO. W. RANDALL, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR TO REUBEN J. TODD, OF
SAME PLACE.
BASIN-COCK.
Specification of Letters Patent No. 23,989, dated May 10, 1859.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it kno-wn that I, GEORGE W. RANDALL, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, haveinvented a. new and useful or Improved Washbasin or Bath- Tub Cock or Faucet; and I do hereby de clare that the same is fully described and` represented in the following specification and the accompanying drawings, of which- Figure l, is a front elevation of the same; Fig. 2, a longitudinal section of it; Fig. 3, a transverse section taken through its valve socket and the inletpassages and screw connections thereof.
In fitting a common wash basin with means of supplying it with both warm and cold water or two different liquids it is customary to use two separate columnar faucets, one for the hot water or one kind of liquid, and the other for the cold water or other kind of liquid, they being arranged at the rear of the basin and on the marble or stone slab thereof, and so that their spouts may be.
swung either around over or away from the basin so as either to discharge water through them into it or to arrest the discharge therefrom as circumstances may require. Asl such a faucet has been constructed its swinging spout has generally been so applied to the top o-f the supporting column as to turn thereon, the column being always stationary and having the valve arrangement at its head or upper part. The difficulty with such a faucet is, that in case of leakage at the valve, the water or liquid is apt to run down on the outside surface o-f the column, and as a matter of course when this takes place it will more or less oXidize the same and be discharged upon the marble slab, and in time will discolor or stain it. My improved faucet not only obviates this difculty, but it does away with a second faucet, as a single faucet of my improved kind answers both for the cold and hot water pipes and enables a person to draw either hot or cold water into the basin, or a miXture of the two, as occasion may require.
A pair of silver plated faucets such as are generally used with basins is sold in the market for from six to fifteen dollars, according to their size and finish. Now, when one faucet will answer the purpose of two of the ordinary kind and will cost no more than one of them, itis evident that a saving in expense of fifty per cent. will be realized by the plumber or person who may have occasion to use the same.
In the drawings, A, denotes the tubular column of the faucet, it being provided with a handle, B, which is hollow and serves as a discharging spout.
C, is a spherical socket piece furnished with a tapering or conical passage, a, eX- tending through it and for reception of the lower part of the column, C, which is grooved to fit and turn therein with a water tight joint, it being held in the socket piece C, by a spring, b, and a screw c, arranged as shown in the drawings. This socket piece has two passages or inlets al, e, leading into or out of its socket, at or about at right angles to each other, and respectively through screw connections, f, g, or their equivalents.
In the same horizontal plane with these passages, the column, A, is provided with an entrance passage or slot, 7L', which may be made in length somewhat greater than the least distance of one passage (d) from the other (e). This slot may have a width corresponding to the diameter of either passage d, or e, its length with reference to the passage being as set forth or as represented in Fig. 3.
When this faucet is applied to a basin 'slab the socket piece, C, is to be arranged underneath the slab and the column, A, is to pass upward through a round hole bored in the slab and of a suitable diameter to receive the column. The two leading pipes or conduits for the hot and cold water are to be respectively attached to the connections f, g, so as to lead the warmer water into one of the passages, (l, e, and the colder water into the other. Furthermore, the orifice, zi, is arranged in the column, A, so as to be directly underneath the handle spout, B, and when the faucet is set up it should be arranged with reference to the basin in such manner that when the spout of the faucet is turned, so as to range over and midway between the axes of the connections, f, g, it shall range or point to the center of the basin. Undef these circumstances, both hot and' cold water may be drawn from the faucet into the basin. By turning the spout horizontally so as to revolve its column a little, the amount of hot water discharged into the cold water may be lessened. By continuing to turn it farther either hot or cold water only may be drawn or both` shut off. Turning it in one direction far enough causes't-he fiowage of the hot water-alonefrom4 it, and turning it in the opposite direction a sufficient distance causes the cold water alone to be discharged.
From the above, it will be seen that in my said faucet there can be no leakage to run down upon the outside surface of its column so as to tarnlsh the same or stam the marble,
and furthermore, one of my faucets answers every purpose of two of the ordinary kind having a handle spout, and this effects a saving to the user of the cost and wear of one of such faucets, and is advantageous in other respects. Y y
I claim- The improved wash basin cock or faucet l GEORGE W. RANDALL. Witnesses:
