Description
UNITED STATES PATENT OEEICE.
NATHANIEL JENKINS, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
IM PROVEM ENT IN FAUC'ETS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 49,527, dated August `22, 1865.
ing a part ot' this specification, in which- Figure l is a longitudinal central section, and Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the rubber spring, valve, and packing.
Like parts are indicated by thc same letters in bothV figures.
The nature of my invention consists in the employment of a compressible rubber or other suitable elastic spring, E, in combination with the valve-seat L, cap D, and valve-lifter F of a faucet, the said spring being so constructed and arranged as to answer the threefold purpose ot' a spring, a packing for the cap, and a valve, whereby I am enabled to produce, I think, a simpler, cheaper, and better self-closing faucet than any known orused before.
rIo enable othersskilled in the art to make natural uncompressed length of this spring E is somewhat more than the distance between the valveseat L and the cap D, so that when the latter is screwed down upon the top of the valve-chamber() the bottom of the valve will be forced down suiiiciently tight upon the seat to form a water-tight packing, while at the same time the flange It, heilig compressed between the cap and the Vtoprof the valve-chamber, will also form a water-tight packing between the two.
Through the axis or center ot' the spring E is a round hole, n, through which is forced a rod, F, sufficiently large to form a watertight tit, and provided at its lower extremity with a` screw-nut, z". This rod F also passes up freelythrough a hole in the centerofthe cap I),
and is pivoted atm to the cam-leverJ, by turning which it is obvious that the spring E will. be compressed and its lower end raised suciently high from the valve-seat to allow the fluid to iiow freely from the inlet to the outlet. When the lever is released the elasticity ot' the spring E imm cdiatcl y forces` its bottom onto the valve-seat and closes the faucet, as representcdin Fig. 1. The spring E, thus constructed and arranged, also prevents nearly all the water-hammer7 when the faucet is sudden] closed. t
Having thus described the construction and operation ofmy invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
The compressible elastic body'E, in combination with the val veseat L, cap D,and valvelifter F of a faucet, the said body being so constructed and arranged as t'o answer the three fold purpose of a spring, a packing for the cap,
and a valve, substantially as described.
