COMBINED FAUCET AND TAP VALVE..
*SPECIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0,294,610, dated March 4, 1884.
Application filed September 13, 1883. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I," KING 0. GILLETTE, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Faucet and Tap Valve, of which the following is a specifica.
tion, reference being had to the drawings accompanying and forming a part ofthe same.
My invention involves an improvement in combined faucet and tap valves for use generally in drawing off the contents of casks, kegs, and other vessels, but more particularly designed for use with receptacles containing ale, beer, and other malt liquors, or such asare under pressure from fermentation or effervescence.
Heretofore appliances of various kinds have been employed for plugging or closing the tapholes of casks or kegs of this kind; but no means, so far as I am aware, have been devisedfor completely obviating certain difli-- culties that are encountered in their use. The usual and best known method of closing'the tap-holes has hitherto been to drive in a simple wood or cork plug, which is driven into This plan, particularly in thecase of malt liquors, is objectionable, from the difficulty of extracting the plugs on refilling the casks, and for the reason that the insertion of the faucet by means of a mallet agitates the liquor and liberates the gas.
With a view .to obviating the objections which the ordinary taps present, appliances have been devised for insertion-in the bungholes in barrels and casks which consist. mainly, of a cup or socket containing a valve arranged to be opened by the insertion and closed by the withdrawal of the faucet or cook. Over devices of this class my present invention is an improvement, the general nature of the invention being as follows: I employ a screw-threaded cup or bushing, which is inserted in the bung or tap hole of the cask. This cup contains a valve provided with inclined flanges or screw-threads'that engage with threads or lugs within the cup, and which, when turned, is moved toward or from the bottom of the cup. To eflect thismovement,'I provide the valve with suitable projections, which 'register with corresponding notches in the faucet when the latter is inserted, and I take advantage of this movement for opening and closing communication with the interior of the cask and for holding the'faucet in its place.
The construction in detail of the devices which I employ for this purpose will be described by reference to the accompanying drawings, where Figure 1 is a central longitudinal section of my invention, showing the manner of its application to a cask. Fig. 2 is a similar section of a portion of the device with the valve in another position; Fig. 3, a top view of the cup or bushing for containing the valve; Fig. 4, a section of the same. Figs. 5 and Gare top and vertical sectional views, respectively, p
of the face-plate; Fig. 7, a top view of amodifiedform of valve; Fig. 8, a side elevation of the same, showing a portion of the cup or bushing in section.-
side elevation of the same.
Similar letters-of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
The letter A designates a portion of the head of a cask or keg, provided with the usual taphole for drawing off its contents. In the taphole, which is screw-threaded, is inserted a cup or shell, B,of metal, screw-threaded on its exterior. In the bottom of the cup B are a number of perforations, a. Its rim 1) is flanged and provided with a groove 0, portions being cut away at two or more points, '0, as shown in Fig. 3.
points on the interior of 'the cup B are lugs e e, or any equivalent means that afford guides or bearing-surfaces for the threads on the valve D, and cause the same to be raised or lowered within the cup B when turned in one direc- Fig. 9 is a top view of the valve with slight modifications; Fig. 10, a
tion or the' other. The valve D is of smaller diameter than the cup B. A space is there fore left between it-and the sides of the cup.
E is a ring or washer of soft rubber, which is placed in the forward part of the cup 13.
F is a metal ring, placed against the washer, and nearly or quite filling the space between the washer and the rim of the valve D.
In the bottom of the cup B, and around the perforations, is set a rubber washer, f, forming a seat for the valve D. The latter is provided with two or more lugs or projections, g g.
G is an ordinary faucet having a straight shank, H, of a diameter nearly equal to that of the opening in the annular faceplate C. A groove, h, is formed in the shank, and slots or notches K K are cut in the end in position to register with the lugs g g on the valve D.
The manner of applying and using the device is as follows: The valve D, ring F, the washer E, and plate 0 having been placed in the relative positions above described, the faucet is inserted through the plate 0 until the lugs gg enter the slots in its end. The faucet is then turned bodily, say one-quarter of a revolution, by which the valve D is raised away from its seat, opening communication between the interior of the cask and the fancet. This movement brings the rim of the valve D against the ring F with great force, compresses the washer E, and causes it to enter the groove h in the faucet. This condition of the parts is shown in Fig. 2. \Vhile the valve D is raised, therefore, the faucet is held firmly in place, this having been effected without disturbing the contents of the cask, which may then be drawn off in the usual way. To remove the faucet, it is turned back one-quarter of a turn, which brings the valve D back firmly 011 its seat and closes the cask. The washer E at the same time resumes its original shape and permits the faucet to be withdrawn without opposition.
bottom of the cup B will contain but one central opening, a, Fig. 8, and a washer, m be attached to the bottom of the valve D.
The valve D, in lieu of being in the form of a cylinder, may be a plate, N, Figs..9 and 10, with theinclined sides 1) 1;,carrying the threads or ways d d and ending in the lugs or cars 5 g.
\Vithout limiting myself to the precise details shown, what I now claim as my invention is 1. The combination, with a faucet having notches in its end, of a cup or shell with a perforated bottom, a valve with inclined ways engaging with guides in the interior of the cup or shell, and provided with lugs for engaging with the notches in the faucet, and an elastic ring or washer confined within the cup and adapted to be compressed around the faucet by the forward movement of the valve, substantially as set forth.
2. Atap-valve consisting of athreaded cup with perforated bottom, a removable annular face-plate and elastic ring or washer, and a screw-threaded valve provided with lugs or ears, in combination with a faucet ,of a con-- formation to be inserted through the face-plate and elastic ring, and having notchesin its end for engaging with the lugs or ears on the valve, whereby the latter may be turned and raised, substantially as set forth.
3. The combination, with a cup or shell having a perforated bottom, of the removable annular plate 0, the elastic ring F, washer E, screw-threaded valve D, having lugs g, and a faucet provided with notches or slots for engaging with and operating the-valve in the manner set forth.
4. The combination, with the shell or cup 13, having a perforated bottom, of an annular face-plate, C, an elastic ring or washer confined thereby, a plate or valve having lugs y g, and
inclined flanges or threads engaging with guides in the cup, and a faucethaving a cylindrical shank provided with a groove, 71, and slots K K, allsubstantially asherein described.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 7th day of September, 1883.
KING 0. GILLETTE.
