BEER-PUMP.

SPECIFICATION forming part Vof Letters Patent No. 342,901, dated June 1. 1886.

Application iilcd December 22, 1885. Serial No. 186,422. (No model),

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARK L. DEERING, of Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Beer-Pumps; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to improvements in beer-pumps in which a faucit made double or quadruple, as the case may be, according to the number of barrels that it is desired to draw from, is operated by a single air-pump.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation showing the rear of an air-pump and double faucet and the air and beer pipes leading to two barrels, portions beingin section to show theinternal construction. Fig.2 is an elevation, partly in section, showing the manner of attaching` the air-pump and faucet separately to the ice-box or other support. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the air-pump and faucet combined. Fig. .4 is an elevation in section showing the construction of the valves of the air-pump. Fig. 5 is an elevation in section showing a modified form of air-valve. Fig. 6 is an elevation in section of adouble or twoway 7 faucet. Fig. 7 is an elevation in section of a quadruple or four-way77 faucet. Fig. 8 is a horizontal section on the line :c x, Fig. 7. Fig. 9 is an elevation in section on the line of y y, Fig. 7.

A represents the cylinder of the air pump, and B the barrelof thefaucet. The faucet and pump may be connected, as shown in Figs. l and 3, the receiving-disk b of the faucet being integral with the forward head of the pumpcylinder; or the pump and faucet may be separate and secured at different points to the partition D of the ice-box or other support, as shown in Fig. 2. The rear head of the airpump is provided with bosses c and c, that are screw-threaded externally for receiving the caps a2, said caps inclosing` air-chambers, respectively, c and c'. A port or passage-way,

ci, leads from .the outside of the boss c to the induction-valve d, that discharges air into the chamber c, from which leads the passage-way c3 into the cylinder A. A passage-way, c, leads from the cylinder to the eduction-valve d', that ive'tubes g, that lead to the faucet.

discharges into the chamber c', from which leads the passage-way e', branching into as many nozzles E as there are barrels that are to be supplied with air-pressure. From the nozzles E lead pipes E', that discharge into the different barrels. Stop-valves F may be connected with each pipe E', so that air may be shut oft' from the different barrels when desired. Each air-tube E may have a checkyvalve, FF, one of which in Fig. lis shown in section, the construction of the same being similar to the valves j ust described. The pipes E are connected with the plugs G, that have small orifices (not shown) for admitting the air inside the barrels. With the plugs G are connected, respectively, the tubes G', that extend to the bottom of the barrels. These latter tubes are in open relation with the respect- The tubes g connect with different nozzles E of the disk b, and are respectively in open relation with the respective passage-ways b2, that lead through the barrel of the faucet. The cock or plugvalve H of the faucet has two lateral openings, h and h', arranged on opposite sides of the plug, soas to register With the respective openings b`l when the plug is turned with the handle thereof presenting in one or the other lateral directions. When the handle points forward, both passage-ways b2 are sh ut off. The orices h and h both discharge into the central or discharge passage-ways H'l of the plug. For a double faucet, the passage-ways b2 are usually, but not necessarily, arranged the one above the other, as shown more clearly in Fig. 6. For a quadruple faucet, two more passage-ways, b3, are employed, arranged side by side about midway in a vertical direction between the openings b, (see Fig.' 8, and dotted lines, Fig. 7 in which case an additional plug, H', is provided, having a single side opening, h", that connects wi.h either passage-way b3, according as the plug is turned in the one direction or the other.

The faucet is provided, in the usual manner, with a flange, K, and jam-.nut K', for securing the faucet to the partition D or other support. The barrel of the faucet is secured to the disk b by an ordinary union, M. (See Fig. 6.)
