DISPENSING APPARATUS Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 25, 1906.
Application filed December 23, 1905. Serial No. 293,140.
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JAMES BOWERS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Caldwell, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Dispensing Apparatus and I do hereby 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 numerals of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to certain improvements in that class of dispensing apparatus represented by my prior application, Serial No. 265,754, filed June 17, 1905, the objects of the present improvements being generally to secure a more positive control of the fluids employed in connection with said apparatus, to simplify the construction, to reduce the cost thereof, and to secure other advantages and results, some of which may be referred to hereinafter in connection with the description of the working parts.
The invention consists in the improved dispensing apparatus and in the arrangements and combinations of parts of the same, all substantially as will be hereinafter set forth and finally embraced in the claim.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, in which like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in each of the several figures, Figure 1 is a diagrammatic elevation of my improved apparatus in connection with a bar. Fig. 2 is a sectional detail of the device for operating certain valves of said apparatus from the bar, and Fig. 3 is a sectional detail taken through line as of Fig. 2.
In said drawings, 5 indicates a bar having dispensing-faucet 6 for beer or other potable goods.
7 indicates a refrigerator or cooler through which the pipe 8 leads from said faucet 6 down below the floor 9 into the cellar of the bar-room, where said pipes connect with the package 10 in the usual manner.
The dispensing-pipe 8 at its lower end connects with a bung or coupling 11 of the said package 10 and is provided with a threeway valve 12 near said coupling similar in construction to the valve described in my prior application above referred to. The said valve 12 is in connection not only with the said dispensing-pipe 8, but with a water-pipe 13, saidwater-pipe containing water under a pressure of sixty pounds, more or less, as 1s common 1n street-mains. Springs 14 tend to close the valve 12 against the beer, and
when thus closed the water-pipe 13 is open to permit the water to enter the pipe 8 and flow therethrough upward to the bar, the water flowing out from the faucet 6 into the tank usually provided at said bar, thence into the sewer.
When I desire to close the water-pipes and open the beer-dispensing pipes, so that there will be a connection between the package and the dispensing-faucet, I employ a flexible connection, preferably a cord or rope 16, in connection with a plunger or piston 17 of the valve 12. The said cord extends up to the bar 5, where the said cord is in connec tion with a handled drum 19. By turning the handle 20 of the said drum the cord is Wound on said drum, so that the plunger within the valve 12 is lifted from its lower seat in said valve to its upper seat to close communication through the water-pipe 13 and open communication through the beer-dispensing P pe By the construction before employed I found it diflicult to maintain by means of a cord 16 and its connections a perfectly tight closure of the upper valve. This was to some extent due to the stretching of the cord 16 in service and the dilliculty of getting a close fastening at the bar. To secure a proper device for holding the upper end of the cord in impervious closing relation to overcome these difllculties, I have provided the handled drum 19 with a ratchet-wheel 23 and pawl 24, pivoted upon the plate 25, as shown more clearly in Figs. 2 and 3, the teeth of the ratchet-wheel being quite small and close together, so that should there be any stretch in the cord 16 the same can be nicely taken up by the drum, the ratchetwheel, and pawl, and unwinding will be posi tively prevented, so that the valve-plunger cannot drop from its seat and permit leakage. The cord can be fastened to the drum, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, where a transverse opening is provided, which allows the insertion of the end of the cord 16. This end of the cord is held by the end of the handle abutting against it.
To release the pawl fromits ratchet-wheel and permit the automatic closing of the beerpipe and opening of the water-pipes, I have provided the pawl with a finger extension or a handle, a transverse opening in the drum 15 handle 241, so that by pressing on said hancommunicating with the opening for the handle the pawl-tooth is disengaged from the l ratchet-wheel and the drum is permitted at die, a handle in the longitudinal opening once to unwind under the Weight of the cord abutting against the end of the cord in the 16 and the power of the springs 14 at the transverse opening, a pawl pivoted to the valve 12. plate to engage the ratchet, and an extension 20 Having thus described the invention, what on the pawl for manually releasing the drum.
