JOHN EYERDING, OF NEWARK, NEV JERSEY, ASSIGN OR TO THE OELLULOID MANUFACTURING COMPANY, OF NEV YORK, N. Y.

Coenen FAUCET.

PECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 306,&71,dated October 14.-, 1884. 4Application filed March 22, 1884. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN EvnRDiNc, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New 5 Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cocks or Faucets, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to improvements in cocks or faucets; and its object is to provide a io faucet which will successfully resist the corrosive action of strong acids and at the same time be thoroughly reliable and free from liav bility of breakage.

The invention consists, essentially, in a faucet or cock made of stoneware of suitable form to be secured to a tank or other vessel by means of metallic plates and bolts, or to be r surrounded bya'metallic casing which may be applied to the vessel, the faucet being pro- 2O vided with a mechanical device to secure the plug ofthe cock in a determined position. and a simpleand convenient method of attaching a nozzle or pipe tothe cock being also applied.

The invention will be more fully understood in which Figure l is acentral section through a f'aucet embodying the elements ot the inven tion. Fig. 2 is a side view of same. Fig. 3 is a view of same, looking at the part in con- 3o tact with the tank in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a perspective view, and Fig. -5 a central section, of

a modified form of the invention.

AIn Fig. 1, A denotes a tank or other vessel, to which is secured, by means of bolts B, the 3 5 cock or faucet, consisting ofthe part C, of stoneware, in which the plug D has its usual rotary movement for permitting or checking the i'low of the liquid through the port or way E. The part O is held in position between the metallic 4o plates F G, wherebyit is effectually protected l'rom breakage, the whole being secured togethcr and to the vessel by the bolts B, aforo` said. rllhe plates F G have corresponding apertures, a I), into which may project the necks c d, formed on the part C, and constituting extensions of the way E. The neck c has its inner end flush with the inner wall of the vessel, whereby the acid or other `Huid will be prevented from coming in contact with the plate G. The neck d projects into the escape 5o or discharge nozzle H, which is supported by the iiange l, formed on its upper end, being held between the plate G and the stoneware part O, as indicated in Fig. l.

Upon two opposite sides oi the plate G are 55 formed the lugs ef, having threaded apertures in their upper ends to receive the screws g, the inner ends of which have bearings in the opposite ends of the plug D. rlhe ends of the plug have small bearing-plates t, which are 6o provided with apertures to lreceive the reduced inner ends of the screws g, and the plug is tapered from one end to the other, and enters a correspondingly-formed seat or aperture in the part O. One end of the plug D has a squared shoulder, J, upon which a handle or key, K, may be arranged for the purpose of openingand closing the valve. The plug D is of stoneware, and is provided with the usual transverse slot, m,which may be thrown into 7o connection with the way E, or therefrom., according as it is desired to permit the ilow of the acid from the vessel or to discontinue the same. It will be seen that the position of the plug D with relation to its seat in the,L part C 7 5 may be perfectly adjusted by means of the screws g, either of which may be operated independently at will.

In Figs. 4 and 5, l illustrate a cock or faucet, in which the part O is inclosed by metallic So casing M, having a flange, N, by means of which it may applied to the tank or vessel A.

Upon the casing M is applied the frame O, having lugs l?, in threaded apertures formed .in the upper ends of which are provided screws Q, for supporting the plug R.

rIhe plug R, the screws, stoneware part O, and the handle for operating the plug are the saine in all essential respects, and the devices ot' similar name forming parts of the faucet 9o illustrated in Fig. l.

The casing M eitectuall y protects the part O, and is at the saine time removed from contact with the acid or other liquid which may be permitted to pass through the faucet.

lt will appear obvious from the foregoing description that lhcfaucct will successful] y resist the corrosive action of strong acids, and that it is thoroughly reliable and durable.

Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A cock or faucet in which the plug and easing are of stoneware, the casing being cX- teriorly protected from breakage by metal, substantially as specified.

2. A cock or faucet consisting of the stoneware part C and plug D, supported by screws g, and provided with a means of rotating it, substantially as set forth.

3. A cock or faucet consisting of the stoneware part G, plug D, screws g, and supportingplates F G, the latter being provided with lugs E F, in which the screws are placed, substantially as set forth.

4. A cock or faucet consisting ofthe stone- Ware part C, having necks c d, the plug D,

metal plates F G, and means for rotating the plug.

5. A cock or faucet consisting of the stoneware part C, plug D, and protecting metallic parts theV outlet from the faucet being in connection with the nozzle H, which is held between the part C and the projecting pla-te.
