APPLIANCE FOR DRAWING LIQUID'FROM AND VENTING CASKS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 642,393, dated January 30, 1900.
Application filed November 13, 1899. Serial No. 736,870. (No model.)
To an whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, JOHN WATKINS, a citizen of England, residing at Pomona Farm, Hereford, in the county of Hereford, England, have invented a certain new and useful Appliance for Drawing Liquid from and Ventin g Casks, (for which I have applied for a patent in Great Britain, dated April 17, 1899, No. 8,059,) of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to an appliance for drawing liquid from a cask and also venting without the necessity of having a separate tap, cook, or vent peg or spile, but by a permanent appliance so attached to the cask as to beout of the way of injury during transport. For this purpose I provide the cask or barrel with an appliance which I shall describe, referring to the accompanying drawings.
Figure l is a part longitudinal section at the end of a cask with my appliance shown in elevation. Fig. 2 is a part transverse section on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is aplan of part of the upper side of the cask, showing keyhole. Fig. 4 is a side and edge view of a folding key.
I bore a hole in one of the staves, preferably the bung-stave a, and in the stave b opposite to it on the other side of the cask I bore a similar hole. In each of these holes is inserted a sleeve, preferably corks c and (Z, projecting into the cask. These are preferably strengthened by being surrounded by a ring a or strainer f inside the cask. Through these sleeves is passed a tube g, but so fitting the sleeves c and d as to form air and water tight joints with them, while it can freely turn in them. In the lower end of the tube, a little distance inside the cask, the tube has a lateral hole h, which by turning the tube to a certain position coincides with a passage z'through the lower sleeve d, so that liquid can flow through this passage into the tube and out at the lower mouth of the tube. In the upper end of the tube there is also a lateral hole which in the same position of the tube coincides witha passage through the upper sleeve, so that air can pass into the cask. The end of the tube is attached to or burred over a washer l and is so formed or notched that it can be turned by a key, bringing it into position for liquid to flowout at the lower end of the tube, while air flows in at the upper end or into position where both flows are stopped.
Additional passages in the sleeves may be arranged to admit air or to allow escape of gas without allowing liquid to flow out or to allow liquid to flow out without admitting air, the tube being turned to such positions as to bring the one or the other of its lateral holes into coincidence with such additional passage.
The end of the tube is covered by a keyplate m, having a keyhole fitting a key 01, so shaped that when it is inserted and the tube is turned the key cannot be withdrawn unless the tube is turned into the position stopping passage of air into and of liquid out of the cask. The under side of the key-plate m may have projecting studs to form stops for the ears of the key when it is turned to the several positions for giving passage for air or liquid. The shank of the key may be made in two parts 19 q, jointed together, so that While (1 is opened out, as indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 4, it can be turned by the part 19, operating as a handle, or, the part q being folded into the part 19, the whole can be inserted into the upper part of the tube for transport with the cask.
Instead of a continuous tube 9 obviously a rod, having fixed to each end a piece of tube with lateral hole, might be employed.
Having now described the nature of this invention and the best means I know of carrying the same into practical effect, I claim An appliance for drawing liquid from and venting a cask, comprising a tube fitting in two sleeves projecting into the cask through holes on opposite sides the tube having near each end a lateral hole and each sleeve having also a lateral passage, a cover-plate with keyhole for the upper end of the tube, and a key adapted to turn the tube so as to bring its lateral holes into coincidence with the lateral passages of the sleeves substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
JOHN WATKINS. Witnesses:
JOHN HARRIS, RoYEs O. OoLEs.
