Application led January 11,1900. l'al NO- 1,125. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, WILLIAM EDWARD CLAVEZ, of Florence, in the county of Hampshire, State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Faucets, of which the following is a complete specication, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
The object of my invention is to produce an improved faucet adapted to derive a iiow of liquid from a receptacle containing the same-such as a hogshead, barrel, or kegand to deliver the same simultaneously or independently from a plurality of vents.
My faucet is adapted to be used for bottling or similar purposes in which it is desirable to gain from a plurality of points independent access to a source of liquid-supply at the same time.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure I is a perspective view of my faucet in operation7 showing it as applied to a keg. Fig. II is a perspective view of the faucet complete and detached. Fig. III is a front elevation of my faucet, showing a sectional view of the several vent-pipes, the cock being closed and the lower ends of the vent-pipes broken away. Fig. IV is a partial View of my faucet, taken along the lines IV IV of Fig. III, the cock being shown in the open position.
Referring to the numerals on the drawings,
l indicates, by way of example of av closedA liquidreceptacle, a keg. It is supplied, as through a bung 2, with gas or air under pressure, derived from a suit-able source, (not illustrated,) and conveyed through a pipe 3.
4 indicates the stem of my faucet, which may be of anysuitable shape, size, and dimenlsions. It is illustrated as of the usual tapered form, in which shape it is adapted to be driven in place, as into the head of the keg l. Other means of securing' it in place may be substi` tuted for that presented, which is illustrated merely by way of example. 5 indicates the barrel of the faucet, within which works in any usual manner a cock 6. The form of cock illustrated is the usual tapered plug that is provided with a diametrical aperture 7. (See Fig. IV.) The plug is adapted by turning to bring the aperture 7 into alinement with the bore of the faucet or to close the bore in the usual manner. It is not essential in my faucet to employ the cock 6 with its barrel 5, but I prefer to employ it as a means of shutting off the flow from the keg l to all of the vents of the faucet simultaneously.
The elements above described are present under one form or another in all faucets, and my invention consists in providing the stem 4 and preferably in connection with the barrel and cock with a plurality of dischargevents.
In the drawings three vent members are illustrated by way of example-to wit, a middle vent or nozzle S, that is preferably cast integrally with the stem 4 and barrel 5 like an ordinary faucet, and divergent lateral discharge-pipes l0 and ll, that are preferably screwed into apertures provided for them in the thickened head l2 of the nozzle 8. The lateral pipes lO and ll are preferably screwed into place in order that their positions may be changed as desired without interfering with the operatioruas herein described, of the faucet. Each of the vents is preferably provided with an independent means of control or valve in order that each may be used independently as a vent or means of draft from a source of supply, (represented bythe keg l.) In connection with each of the pipes lOand ll is illustrated a preferred form of longitudinallymovable valve, that form being preferred so that it may be automatically actuated by thrusting the tubular valve-stein into a bottle and pressing the neck thereof against the end of .the stem or a projection upon the stem that will serve to actuate the valve. The valve mechanism referred to preferably consists of an enlarged head 14, screwed at one end to the pipe (see Fig. III) and screwed at the other end to the valve-seat l5. The valveseat is provided with an internal bore adapted to tnovably accommodate a tubular valvestem 16. The two stems 16 are divergently disposed with respect to the nozzle 8 in order to accommodate said stems and nozzle to the performance of their respective functions. The stem 16 is open at its lower end and closed at its upper end. Adjacent to its closed end it is provided with a port, preferably a pair of opposite ports 20. In the head or closed end 18 of the stem is a screw 2l, upon which, as against a washer 22, is screwed a plate 23.
IOO
The plate 23 by impingement through the Washer 22 serves to limit the outward movement of the stem 16. It also serves to seat one end of a spiral spring 24, that is seated at its opposite end against the Wall of the chamber in the head 14. The stem 16, beyond the valve-seat 15, is provided with a preferably annular projection 25, which in practice is so located as to permit the insertion of the stem into a bottle (indicated by the numeral 26) and to engage the neck ofthe bottle when the end of the stern is in close proximity to the bottom thereof. Through the operation of its spring 24 each stem 1G is normally forced outwardly through the valveseat 15 into the closed position shown in the mechanism attached to pipe 1l in Fig. III of the drawings. To open the valve, all that is necessary is to drive'the valve-stem 16 against the force of the spring 24, and so open the valve. This, as has already been specified, may be conveniently accomplished by pressure exerted upon a bottle, so that one operator can conveniently employ both of the pipes 10 and 1l at one time.
The stems 1G are designed to be inserted into the neck of a bottle or like receptacle and to extend to the bottom thereof in order that a gas-charged liquid may be introduced into the bottle With-the minimum liberation of the gas. For that reason they are preferably notched, as illustrated, at their lower ends, so that the actuation of the stems, respectively, may be accomplished by pressure against the end of the stem as well as against the annularl projection 25. This provision adapts the stem for lling bottles of different capacities.
It has been specified that each vent of the faucet is preferably provided with an independent valve. In the form illustrated the nozzle t5 is not shown as equipped with the valve mechanism as above described, but it Would be practicable and desirable for some purposes to so equip it. The form of faucet illustrated is designed especially for use in supplying at the same time a lioW of liquid to a bar and for filling bottles. The nozzle 8 is therefore connected, as by a coupling 28, with a pipe or hose 29, that leads to the place of consumption, (not illustrated,) and it is desii-able for such uses to locate the Valve controlling the flow from the nozzle near the point of final discharge. Foi-that reason the valve which controls the i'low from the nozzle 8 is not illustrated.
Provision may be made for disconnecting the nozzle 8 from the hose 29 without interfering with the availability of the pipes 10 and 11 by the employment of a plug 30, (see Fig. IL) which when the coupling 2S is removed may be substituted in its place. In like manner as the bottling-valve stem may be substitutedA for-the hose connection illustrated as applied to the nozzle 8 and all the vents supplied with bottling-Valves, so all of the vents may be supplied with hose connections and the bottling-valves entirely eliminated. In other words, a preferred form of embodiment of my invention adapted for a specic purpose is illustrated in the drawings,and for that embodiment various modifications of form and adaptation may be employed within the scope of the invention above outlined without departing from the principle thereof.

6. The combination with a faucet provided with a vent member, of an enlarged head upon the vent member, a valve-seat in the end of said head, a tubular valve-stern provided with a port, working in said seat, a screw projecting coaxially from the closed end of the valve-stem, a plate threaded to said screw and projecting beyond the periphery of the valve-stem, and aspring surround- IOO IIO
ing the end of the screw and seated against i the end of the vent member and the said plate, respectively, substantially as set forth.
In testimony of all which I have hereunto subscribed by name.
