TO ALL WHOM IT MAYA CON CERN:
Be it known that I, ALFRED WEED, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk, and State of invented an Improved Faucet;` and I do hereby declare that the following, ings, which accompany and form part of this specification, is a des those skilledin the art to practise it. i l The invention relates particularly to the construction of that class ot faucets which are providedwith means for boring or tapping casks.
The drawings represent a faucet embodying my invention- A showinga reverse plan, and B a vertical central section of the same.. a denotes thc main body-or. barrel of the faucet, cast with ,zt-closed end, I1, and with lateral vinductionopenings c, the end piece havingixed permanently thereto'a brit,.rl,ifor boring into the cnsk, to apply the faucet. To enable the faucet to be readily turned, to enter the bit, the head of the vfaucet is provided with two opposite lateral projections or spines,`e, which are readily grasped by theliand, arid serve, like the'handlc ot' a gimlet, to turn and press inwards the bit.V Y l l To bring the induction-end of the faucet to'rproper position within the eosin-and with the eduction-head as near to the cask as may be desirable, the thread by which the faucet is screwed in after the. hole has been bored, is cut at a considerable distance from the entering end,as seen in the drawing Massachusetts, have taken in connection with the drawcriptien of my invention sufficient to enable leaving a smooth surface,
^ o. When the screw-thread is continued to the Icxtreme en'd of the faucet, it is oftentimes diicult to insert the same, as the auger or bit-which taps the hole Voften fails to make a clean or perfect bore, but by making the surface smooth at the end, the faucet may be pushed inby the hands,vhaving hold of the spines, after the hole` is tapped, until the screw-thread meetsthe wood, when the fziucet may be readily scrcwed`in, still using the spines to turn the faucet by.
The head, g, of the faucet is made globular' or bulbous, and the orifice 7i, which is 4at the under side of the same,is provided with a valve, t', this valve being fixed to'a vcrticnlstcm, f, passing through the upper part of the bead, the stem being provided lwith a knob, Z, for raising and lowering the valve. i
The valve is-made of an elastic washer, Z, enclosed between two metal disks, ma, the lower washer working on a screw-thread cut on the spindle, and compressing the elastic washer against the inner disk, 1t, whichabuts against a shoulder on the stein, such compression expanding the washer radially, and causing it to fit closely te. the sides of the orifice.' i
When raised, as seen by dotted lines at Il, it will/ readily -be seen that an unobstructed passage is left for How of liquid running through the faucet. l v Tlie'faucct is designed particularly to be used as a molasses-faucet, and the construction and arrangement of tlie valve obviatc the difficulties and objections pertaining to such faucets as have external gates, or as have plug-valves. n
The faucet is very simple 'in construction, requiring no nice fitting of parts, and has the advantage of combining directly with thc faucet'the means of application to acask.
I claim a faucet, provided with a screw-thread, f, on its barrel, for the purpose sct forth, itsentering-end provided with a closed boring-tool, d, and the blank or smooth surface, o, between thc screw-thread'and the boring-tool, in which blank surface nre the inlets c, communicating with the passage through the faucet, and also provided with handles e., by which the borer is turned, the smooth surface pushedy into the tap-hole, and the faucet turned as itis screwed into the tap-hole.
