FLUID DISCHARGE ANDVENT FAUGBT.

ATTEET UNITED STATES WILLIAM S. F. DILLON,
PATENT OFFICE.
OF CINCINNATI, OHIO.
FLUID-DISCHARGE AND VENT FAUCET.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 331,379, dated December 1, 1885.
Application filed June 29, 1885.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, WILLIAM S. F. DILLON, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, and residing at Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and the State of Ohio, (formerly of Madeira, Ohio,) have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fluid-Discharge and Vent Faucets,of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to faucets for drawing fluids from vessels in an uninterrupted stream, and has for its object to produce such a device as shall be simple, durable, and effective.
With these ends in view the invention consists in the improved construction and combination of parts, as will be hereinafter more particularly described, and pointed out in the claims.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a faucet embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a central horizontal section of the'same. '1 Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section of a beer-keg,showing my improved faucet attached thereto with the airforcing bulb arranged in place adjacent the head of the keg. Fig. 4 is arear end view of the faucet.
A represents the barrel or shell of an ordinary faucet.
B represents the handled valve or plug of the faucet, and b is the customary discharge port in the plug.
a is the bore or passage-way in barrel A, through which the liquid passes fromfithe keg when the port of plug B is set in line therewith, as shown in Fig. 2.
0 represents an ordinary air-induction elastic bulb provided with an air-inlet valve, 0, and an air-outlet valve, 0.
D is an air-conducting tube or nozzle attached to bulb O,'and leading from the outletvalve of said bulb through a perforation in the faucet-barrel to the interior of the keg.
d is a slotted opening in the rear end of the air-nozzle D for the discharge of air into the keg. This slot-ted opening is designed to prevent any solid matter entering tube D to choke the same.
E is the battering-head of the faucet-barrel A for receiving the blows of the mallet in driving the faucet in place.
As it is customary to drive the plug that fills the exit-opening in the keg by means of Serial No. 170,163, (No model.)
the faucet itself, I first withdraw the air-tube D a slight distance, so that its projecting inner end lies within the barrel of the faucet, and h thereby protect it. The tube can then be readily pushed backward so as to permit the air tofafpass freely out of the slotted opening d.
When it is desired to draw beer or other liquid from the keg,the bulb O is compressed, which temporarily closes inlet-valve c, and ejects or forces the air within the bulb into the keg through the now open-valve 0, thus supplyingavent for the beer to flow freely through the open faucet. Bulb O,being an elastic one, readily returns to its normal expanded state, at the same time filling with air through the inlet-valve c, and ready for another charge into the keg. Valves 0 c operate alternately, one being open while the other remains closed, so that no backward escape of the air can occur in the operation of the bulb. The pressure of air in tube D prevents any entrance of beer therein.
It is obvious that the tube D could be made much shorter than shown, having an open rear end, and of such length as to project but a slight distance into the air-opening or passage-way in the faucet-barrel without affecting the operation of the vent.
In Figs. 1 and 2-1 have shown the air-bulb arranged close beside the plug 13 and the airtube placed within an opening that extends throughout the length of the faucet barrel horizontally parallel with the bore or liquid passage-way a. In this position the bulb can be very conveniently compressed against the flattened fore end of the faucet-barrel by one hand of the operator, while he holds the glass or measure in the other. After the air is exhausted when the beer is first drawn from a filled keg, the faucet may, if desired, be left wide open, so that it will only be necessary to compress the bulb G to force air into the keg and cause the beer to discharge.
In Fig. 3 I have shown the air bulb and tube at the rear end and top of the faucetbarrel, so that said bulb can be brought to bear against the head of the keg for forcing air into said keg.
The location of the air-bulb on the faucetbarrel A and its tube-connection with the interior of the keg is immaterial, as the result is the same, convenience for manipulation being the only object in the several arrangements.
I am aware that it is not new to force air into a vessel containing liquid by means of a force-pump or an elastic bulb and I do not claim such construction, broadly; but
I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States- 1. The combinatiomwith a vessel for cont-aining liquid, of a faucet having an opening for the passage of liquid, and suitable means for opening and closing the same, a second opening through said faucet, leading from the exterior to the interior of said vessel, the inner orifice of said second opening being below the level of the liquid in the vessel, a tube projecting into the outer end of said second opening, and an elastic bulb secured to the outer end of said tube, said bulb being provided with suitable valves, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. The combination, with a vessel for containing liquid, of a faucet having an opening for the passage of liquid, and suitable means for opening and closing the same, said faucet being provided with atlattened recessed portion near its outer end, and also with a second opening leading from said recessed portion to the inner end of the faucet, a tube extending into said second opening, and an elastic bulb secured to the outer end of said tube, and provided with suitable valves, and adapted to be compressed againstsaid flattened recessed portion of said faucet, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony of which invention I have hereunto set my hand.
