BENEDICT SOHOGK, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO.
BUNG AND VENT-TUBE FOR KEGS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 275,790, dated April 10, 1883;
Application filed September 4. 1882. (No model.)
all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, BENEDICT SoHooK, of Oincinnathin the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Bungs and Vent-Tubes for Kegs, which improvement is fully set forth in the following spec ification and accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a perspective view of an ice cooler or chest, partly broken away, containing a beer-keg equipped with my improvement. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section, showing a top view of a keg and the relative arrangement of keg and vent-tube. Fig. 3 is a side view of cock and tube, partly in section, which is attached to the ice cooler or chest; and Fig. 4 is a side view of cock attached to the bung of the keg.
The object of my invention is to provide the ordinary beer-keg with avent-tube so arranged that air may be admitted to theinterior of the keg as the liquid is withdrawn, and also for partially cooling the air thus admitted to the ke 'l he present devices for supplying air to the keg as the contents are being withdrawn are expensive and beyond the reach of many. Hence in the application of my improvement I contemplate using the common wooden spigot, and by that means not only greatly cheapen tappage, but at the same time dispense with the brass faucets, which deteriorate the quality of the liquid passing through.
In the accom panyin gdrawin gs, A represents the common beer-cooler, and B the keg placed therein. No change is contemplated in the construction or arrangement of either the cooler or the keg. A tube, F, of sufficient length to pass through either of the front walls of the cooler, is provided on its forward or projecting end with a cock, G, and its inner projecting end is tapering to receive a rubber or flexible tube, H, the inner end of which tube is attached to the tapering end of a tube, D, also provided with a cock, E. The opposite end of the tube D has screw-threads, whereby it may b attached to the hollow bung O. The bun O is driven into the keg B in the ordinar manner.
The flexible tube H may be of any length and coiled around in the cooler, so that the air contained within the tube may be properly cooled before entering the keg.
In operation, the cooks G E are turned to admit air, as desired, into the keg as the liquid is withdrawn.
The ordinary wooden faucet or spigot is employed for tapping the keg.
1 am aware that heretofore devices have been used to admit air to beer-kegs.
Having described my inven tion, what I claim 1s 1. The combination, with the beer-cooler, of the permanent pipe F, having cock G, the flexible tube H, hollow bung G, and pipe D, having cock E, substantially as described.
2. The pipe E, having cock G, the flexible tube H, hollow bung G, and pipe D, having cook E, substantially as described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand, this 29th day of August, 1882, in the presence of witnesses.
BENEDICT SOHOOK.
