WATER DISPENSER Filed Feb. 2e, 1 954 Ofw//e bf andrei/1 INVENTOR.
/4 TTOR/VEV United States Patent O WATER DISPENSER Orville H. Landreth, Houston, Tex., assignor, by vmesne assignments, to Igloo Manufacturing Company, Houston, Tex., a corporation of Texas Application February 26, 1954, Serial No.- 412,869 3 Claims. (Cl. 222-501) This invention pertains to apparatus commonly known as a water cooler comprising a receptacle for'drinking water, in which ice maybe placed if desired and having a manual valve controlled outlet or faucet near the bottom through which water can be withdrawn Whenever anyone wishes a drink. Because the common name water cooler implies the presence of some means for coolingthe water whereas actually the device may be merely a-water storage and dispensing tank, the device will hereinafter be referred to as a water dispenser. The device may be portable or permanently installed and the storage chamber may be filled eithermanually by pouring water in from a bucket or pitcher or placing it under a faucet orby means of a water inlet pipe controlled by a float valve Vor in any other way. The device will be illustrated as a portable unit adapted to be filled as required through a manually removable vand replaceable top and having insulated walls to exclude heat.
A difficulty experienced with certain prior known devices using a push button type valve on which devices 4the vpresent invention is an improvement is that after'the valve is closed following someone filling a cup `from the unit, a small amount of water will leak out of the faucet at an indeterminate time followingthe valve closure. It is an object of the invention to prevent such leakage, which is objectionable because it produces a slippery wet place on the floor.
Another difliculty experienced with such known devices is that perspiration, dirt and other obnoxious materials on the hands of persons operating the push button valve and which are transferred to the .push button can run or fall down onto the water outlet, contaminating the water next dispensed. It is an object of the invention to prevent such contamination.
It is a general object of the invention to provide an improved valve controlled outlet for a water dispenser.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will appear from the following description of a preferred embodiment thereof in which Figure l is a vertical section through a water dispenser embodying the invention;
Figure 2 is an enlargement of the valve controlled outlet of the dispenser shown in Figure 1; and
Figure 3 is a still further enlargement of the push button operator and a portion of the valve stem of the valve controlled outlet shown in Figure 2.
Referring now to Figure 1, there is shown a water storage chamber formed by cylindrical side wall 11, bottom wall 12 and removable top 13, all of which are formed by spaced inner and outer sheet metal portions such as 14, 15 separated by suitable heat insulating material 16 such as glass wool. A cup 17 extending inwardly from a hole in sheet 14 near the bottom of wall 11 provides a recess in which is disposed a valve controlled outlet or faucet 18.
As best shown in Figure 2, the faucet 18 comprises a die cast zinc valve body having a tubular inlet 21 exteriorly threaded at 22, a concentric tubular valve operator 2,764,324 Patented Sept. 25, 1956 ICC Vportion 23 having an outwardly flaring flange 24 at the outer end thereof, and an intersecting downwardly inclined tubular outlet 25. An annular shoulder 26 bears against cup 17. Between cup 17 and sheet 15 is a neoprene washer 27. Inside sheet 15 there is a neoprene washer vZtl around inlet 21 and a metal retaining cap 29 over the washer preventing outward extrusion of the washer when nut 30 is screwed up tight on threads 22 to hold the faucet in place.
The internal diameter of inlet 21 is greater than the internaldiameter of operator tube 23, forming a shoulder 35 which provides a Valve seat. A Valve lstem 36 has an enlarged inner end 37 having an annular` groove 3S therein. A neoprene valve ring 39 is forced up on tapered end 40 of the valve stem and snappedfinto groove 38. The inner diameter of the valve ring 39 is slightly smaller than the diameter of groove 38 so as to form a tight lit .providing a seal therebetween.
Referring now also to Figure 3, near the outer'end of the valve stern there is an annular groove 45. A neoprene diaphragm ring 46 is disposed around the stem in'this groove. The inner diameter ofthe diaphragm ring is slightly smaller than the diameter of the groove 45 soV as `to form Va tight fit providing 'a seal therebetween. The diaphragm hasportion of reduced thickness -at'47 to make it more flexible. The diaphragm `'is also assembledi'by stretching it over the conical end 40 of the valve stem and pushing it'down the stem until its'napsinto Vgroove 45. A tubular expander may be used as a tool to assist in placing diaphragm ring 46 in place, helping it over groove 38. v
At the outer end of the valve stem 36 there is formed apush button or operator 5t) integral with the valve stem. The' inner face 51 of the push button provides an abutment against which bears the outer end of helical spring 52 disposed around the valve stern concentric therewith. VThe inner end of the spring 52 bears against the outer periphery of diaphragm ring 46 Vwhich in `turn bears against-the outwardly facing shoulder internal flange 53 in operator vtube 23. The spring has a relaxed length greater than the distance between the diaphragm ring 46 4and face '51 of the push button when valve ring 39 is in 'and at the same time it holds the outer periphery of-diavphragm ring 46 tight against yiiang'e 53 to form a seal.
Pressure on push button 50 will compress spring 52 and move the valve stem inwardly disengaging the valve ring 39 from its seat 35 allowing water to ilow from storage chamber 10 out through outlet tube 25. It is to be noted that the vertical plane of the end of outlet tube 25 is disposed inwardly from the vertical plane of guard flange 24 so that drippings from flange 24 will not contact the outlet tube 25.
When pressure on push button 50 is removed, spring 52 forces the valve stem outwardly until the valve ring 39 engages seat 35 closing the valve. Water still in operator tube 23 and outlet tube 25 after the valve closes will remain there indefinitely since there is no leakage of air past diaphragm 46 into the annular space between the valve stem and operator tube. The `diaphragm 46 is sufiiciently flexible to permit inward and outward movement of the valve stem without breaking the sealing engagement between the diaphragm ring and flange 53 nor between the diaphragm ring and the valve stem.
While a preferred embodiment of the invention has been shown and described, many modifications can be made therein by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention, and it is `desired to protect by Letters Patent all forms of the invention falling within the scope of the following claims.
I claim:
