The inventionrel'ates to spigots.
The, general, objectof the invention is to' provide a spigot that may he shipped'with its containenso `-to the contaner atthe time the same is filled wththecontentsto be dispensed and' thue;
supply the consigneewith a pouring dvice for the container. that-is immediately avail able for use., More particularly'the spigot embodyngthe; nvention is designed iso that. it can beput on anykeg or other suitable container Without, having to provide a special container and the pouring member is so constructedand arranged. thatw'hen not in use it willvbe fiat against the head of 'the keg and' within the -space between said head and'the outer. edgeof the siding but whendsired may beturned ,to a dispensingpostion in' which the spout clears theoter edge otthe sidng.
A further objectofjthe inventionis to provide ?a sp igot. adapted for -han-dling vrelatively; heavy liquds such as rennet or vscoushquds andeto obvate the necessity of 'specially vent :ing -the container the sp igot is provided with- &ment passage-and means her-einafter described are: also provided for keeping this Ventpassage in proper workingeonditong The invention sionhereof..
Fig. 2 is a -deta1`p1an View of a contanei'` With the spigot in dspensing position;

These. Fig., 3 is a, detaii sectionalview 'taken on r passages as shownlare open at the innezcendoff theshank' portion 23.?t faciltate manufacandim'ay bej ofthesame' material. as those v ture biitanesaledlofi by a cap member 295' which has ,a cylin'dlfieal 'plu g portion 3OZeX; tendinginto the end 3.10& 'the p assage'fand which' iS hldin place by ascrew" 32"that" passesthrough the cap andhas threadeden ga gement 'with the *lower` thi-eaded end '33 i of." the ;passage 28; the Gap "about these openings being; flt and having stealing engagement^= With the corresp ondci-ng` flat' face 34 ofi the inner en'd of the 'shank ,portion 23. outer Fig. 2 to the closed position shown in dotted the inner endof the passage 217 through 'a port*- or passage 40 n the shank 23 when the pouri ing member is in adispensing position;
Turning the pourng member 22,from the dispens ng position shown n'the full lnes n lines ,in said Fi'g; 2 will obviously move the parts`37 and 40 out of registry with the ports or passages 35, 36 and 38, 39 so that the contents 'of the container will be preventedfrom fiowing through the spigot. It will also be 'noted' thatiwhen the member 22 is in disa ipensing position its spout portion 26- projects at an angle to the head of the container and extends outwardly of the edge l tof the siding so that the liquid will flow outof 'the' passage 27' clear of the containerand that be-` cause of the angular disposition of the pour ing member whenthe same is' turned to a closed position said spout portion 26 will move down to a position against or adjacent the head ll and be disposed within the space formed between the head 11 and the o'uter edge 14 ofthe siding so that the kegs' can be stacked without interference from the spigot. i
v It is also to be noted that When 'the spigot isin dispensing position, air may 'enter the container through the passages 28, 37, and h 36 while the rennetorother liquid isflowing 39, 40 and 27. e However, it has been found that under some conditions 'the air passage may tend to fill up as for exampleincaseof a leak in the keg or in [case of any pressure produced by the contents of the keg and if the liquid does clog this passage 28 there is diiiculty in starting the flow through the dis- To prevent these condi-v pensing passage. V tions interferng with the proper' act on of the device, I have provided a small hole or vent opening 4:1 to break any Vacuum in the air inlet passage and this itwill be noted from Fig. 1 extendsat an angle to that branch of the passage 28=in the spout position and in the direction ofthe flow' of the material `s o that in case the liquid gets into the passage 28 tending to clog the same, it will readily drain out'and in case the pressure within the container forces the contents out through this air passage when the spigot is turned to a dispensmg through t e passage 28 n the spout portion osition it 'will readily pass out,
which is of larger diameter than the vent 41 and also that portion of the passage 28 in the shank portion. e
It will also be observed that the pouring member 22 has the passage 27 formed in it so that such' passage is enclosed so that the 'liquid can only escape at the outer end of this passage and so that its flow is positively directed to the place where the operator 'wants it and there is no danger of its overfiowing from the spout. Also the cork tube e 21 effectively seals the pouring member from form or ar'ra'ngeme'nt of parte except in so far as such limtatons are included nthe claims.
hat I claim as my invention is:
' l ln a device of the the combination with a container having 'a head disposed below its outeredge, ofa spigot mounted in said head adj acent said edge, said spigot including a casing secured in saidhead and' an angled 'pouring member having a y shank portion mounted insaid casing to rotate on an aX's at anangle' to and eccentric to the axisof said casing and having'a spout portion provided with an enclosed dspensng passage said pouring member having a closed position n which ts spout portion lS disposed below said jouter edge 'andto permit ready stacking during shipment and being rotatable to a dispensing position wherein its spout portion clears the outer edge of the concharacter described,`
tainer, saidpouring member and saidcasing I aving ports adapted to register with each 1 V p other when said pouring member isin a disout of the container through the passages 38,
pensingpsition, the port in saidpouring member communicating with said dispensng passage.
2.11: a device of the character described, the combination of a casing for ,mounting in the head of a container, an angled pouring member having'a shankportion mounted to rotate in said casing and an enclosed spout portion and having a dispensing passage, an airinlet passage and a vent for said air inlet passage, said pouring menber having ports' at the inner ends of saddspensng passage and said 4. In a device of the character described, the combination of a casing for mounting in the head of a container, an angled pouring member having a shank portion mounted to rota-te in said casing and an enciosed spout portion, said pouring member having a dispensng passage and an air inlet passage, each' of said passages being open at both ends, a
cap Secured to said shank portion to close ofi the inner ends of said passages and cooperating with said casing to maintain said shank portion in operative position, said ponring member having ports adapted to register with each other When said pourng member is in dispensing position, the ports in said pouring member respectively comnnnicating With said dispensing and air inlet passages.
In testimony Whereof, I affix my signature.
