JOHN W. KINSEY, OF PHILADELPHIA, OHIO.
FAU CET OR TAPPlNG-BUNG FOR TAPPING BEER, 84.6.
fifiEGIIEIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 671,321, dated April 2, 1901.
Application filed April 18, 1900. fierial No. 13,350. (No model.)
T0 on whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOHN W. KINSEY, a citizen of the United. States, residing at New Philadelphia, in the county of Tuscarawas and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Faucets or Tapping- Bungs for Tapping Beer, Ale, Porter, and otherAerated Liquors; and I do 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 appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in faucets, or what might be more properly called tapping-bungs, used for tapping and drawing from the kegs beer, ale, porter, or other aerated liquors.
The object of the invention is to produce a faucet or tapping-bung for tapping such kegs containing said aerated liquids in a more convenient and easy manner; also, to produce a hung having an adjustable closing-valve so arranged as to be easy of access and readily operated, thereby dispensing with the use of the cork now required in closing the. end of the faucet or tapping-bung, and which must, after making the tap, be forced down into the keg with the hollow rod through which the beer, ale, &c., is drawn; also, to accomplish this in an easy and expeditious manner-at a small expense, and, finally, to produce the faucet or tapping-bung so that it is not liable to get out of order or that it can be readily repaired if any part shall be broken.
My invention consists in the peculiar construction of certain detailsand the novel arrangement of parts, as will be more fully described hereinafter and specifically pointed out in the claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and the letters thereon.
Like letters indicate similar parts in the different figures of the drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a longitudinal section of the faucet or tapping-bung, showing the valve in position closing the outlet of the fancet and ready for driving and forcing the cork ahead of it into the keg. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the valve down, with the handle of the wrench inserted to throw the valve back in position. Fig. 3 is a plan view of Fig. 1, both ends broken away and showing opening through which the valve, disk, and coiled spring can be put in place. Fig. 4 is a broken sectional view of the hollow rod, with faucet, through which the beer, &c., is drawn from the keg.
In the drawings, A represents the body of the faucet or tapping-bung, made of any suitable size and material. It is provided with a valve a, hinged or pivoted to a lug a. Said valve c is held to its seat by the disk I), having a stem 0, around which a coiled spring 6 fits, and said disk I) is pivoted to lugs on the body of the faucet or tapping-bung A. The valve, disk, and spring are inserted through the top of the faucet and are held in place by a screw-cap or bonnet B. The valve has at one side a right-angular projection (1, against which the disk I) bears and serves to keep the valve a against its seat by the action of the coiled spring 6 on the stem 0 until operated on by inserting the hollow or tubular rod E, through which the beer, &c., is drawn from the keg. On the lower side of the valve a is a lug f, against which torest the wrench C in throwing the valve back into position against its seat. On the opposite side of the disk is arranged an inlet D, to which is attached the rubber hose of the air-pump, with a rubber bulb g and slit h to admit air and to close against back pressure of air or gas from the keg.
In Fig. 4 is shown the hollow or tubular rod E, with faucet F, employed in drawing beer, ale, &c., from the keg. The rod is forced down through the faucet or tapping-bung, throwing the valve to the side to the end of the faucet F, that may be attached to a rubber hose, with which to conduct the beer, &c., to its proper outlet.
If desired, a fiat spring '6, as shown in broken lines in Fig. 1, may be employed instead of the disk and a coiled spring, which bears against the projection 61/.
In the top of the faucet or bung a bushing G is secured, and to prevent leakage a gum packing g is introduced, which can be removed and replaced when worn out. The concaved end of the wrench O is to be used in tightening the bushing-screw G onto the gum packing g.
The operation is as'follows: When it is desired to tap ready for drawing from the keg beer, ale, 850., see that the valve on is closed over the outlet of the faucet or bung and place it over the cork in the keg and drive itin, forcing the cork in to the keg. Then take the hollow or tubular rod and force it down through the opening in the faucet or tappingbung, throwing the valve out of the Way. Then use the wrench O and tighten the packing-screw G onto the rubber packing g, forcing it out against the hollow or tubular rod to prevent leakage.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patcut, is-- 1. The tapping-bung herein described, consisting of the body A, having the lug 01/, to which the valve a is pivoted, in combination with the disk I), provided with stem 0 and coiled spring e, said disk bearing an angular projection a, to keep the valve to its seat, all arranged as shown and specified.
2. The combination of the body A, provided with lug 0, to Which the valve a is pivoted, said valve having the lug f, against which a wrench may be placed to open said valve, with the disk I), having the stem 0 and coiled spring 6, to bear against the angular projection a and keep the Valve a closed, all constructed and arranged as shown and for the purpose specified.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
' JOHN W. KINSEY.
