SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 766,324, dated August 2, 1904.
Application filed February 20, 1903. Serial N0. 144,260. (No model.)
Be it known that I, TILLIAM R. Caurnnn'n, a citizen of the United States, residing at Columbia, county of Richland, and State of South Carolina, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Faucets, of which the following' is a specification.
My invention relates to a new and useful improvement in faucets, and relates to that class of faucets for drawing slow-flowing liqnids, such as molasses and the like, from barrels, and has for its object to provide a faucet of this description which will automatically lock when the same is closed and necessitates the releasing' of the bolt of the lock before the faucet may be opened.
li'ith these ends in view this invention consists in the details of construction and combination of elements hereinafter set forth and then specifically designated by the claim.
ln order that those skilled in the art to which this invention appertains may understand how to make and use the same, the construction and operation will now be described in detail, referring to the accompanying drawing's, forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a perspective view of a faucet embodying' the invention. Fig. 2 is a central sectional view thereof. Fig. 3 is a sectional view on a line corresponding' with the line 3 3 of Fig. 9..
In the drawings, A represents the flange surrounding the mouth of the faucet, and A represents ears extending' outward 'from the faucet, to which the valve Bis pivoted at the point B. The valve is adjusted and held in place by the screw B3, threaded in the handle.
C is a bolt adapted to slide within a housing' D, secured upon the inner face of a handle B2 of the valve B. One end of the bolt protrudes from the open end of the housing', which is next to the flange A upon the faucet. A spring E is interposed between the other end of the bolt and the closed end of the housing, so as to always tend to force the bolt outward.
F is a notch formed in the flange A of the faucet, in which the bolt Bis adapted to spring when the valve is closed, as shown in Fig.
The `fiange on one side of the notch is wider than it is on the other side. The projecting portion of'the flange on one side of the notch forms a shoulder C to arrest the bolt C. This shoulder insures that the handle will be arrested before the valve has passed from the mouth of the faucet, even though the spring failed to operate or the bolt be accidentally held by the operator.
(i is a knob secured to the boltC, protruding upward through a slot formed in the housing. 'hen the valve is to be opened, it is necessary to retract the bolt by pressing backward upon the knob (i with the thumb. Then the valve maybe opened to the limit of its movement. 'hcn the valve is closed, it is simply necessary to swing the saine upon its pivot until the bolt C comes in register with the notch F, and then the bolt will spring autmnatically into the notch and lock the valve in position.
The advantage of my invention is that by locking the valve closed the same cannot be accidentally opened, and thus waste the contents of the barrel. lt is a well-known fact that the storekeepers occasionally lose considerable molasses by the accidental opening of the valve in the faucet on account of some moving' object coming in contact ivith the handle of' the valve, and if it is not noticed iinmediately considerable of the contents of the` barrel will be wasted, and if such an accident should occur just before closing the store the whole contents of the barrel would iiow out upon t-he floor.
Of course l do not wish to be limited to the exact construction here shown, as slight modifications could be made without departing from the spirit of my invention.
Having thus fully described my invention, what l claim as new and useful is-d In a faucet, of the character described, a housing' on the handle having' a solid outer end, a spring therein bearing against the end, a bolt in the housing bearing against the spring, the said bolt having a beveled inner end adapted to contact with the shoulder C' of the flange, substantially as described, a spoilt, having a flange with a notch, the said liange being' wider on one side of the notch IOO than on the other to form a shoulder, ears l In testimony whereof I have hereunto afprojeeting from the rnonth of the faucet, a fixed my signature inthe presence of two sub` IO pivot moving 1n the ears, a handle having a serihing Witnesses.
recess and carrying the pivot, a Valve seated l 5 in the recess of the handle in position to seal XVILLIAM R' QAMPBELL' the mouth, a screw threaded through the hanl/Vitnesses: dle and bearing against the outer face of the XV. H. TILLER,
Valve, substantially as described. W. L. KELLY.
