Description: |
| Abstract:
My improvement relates to the construction of that class of faucets, the entering end of each of which is provided with a bit for boring the hole into which the faucet is driven or screwed, to attach it to the cask. Such a faucet is shown in United States Letters Patent, No. X8,499, granted to me, June 2, 1868. In such patented faucet, and in all other self-boring faucets with which I am familiar, the boring-device is made of steel, and when the bit is within the barrel to which the faucet maybe applied, the steel quickly oxidizes, and causes the cutting-edges thereof to be ruined. To remedy this is the object of my improvement and the improvement consists in making the bit of a self-boring faucet of metal which is practically un-oxidizable, or oxidizes so slowly as not to be, injured by contact with the contents of molasses-casks, and other liquid-containing vessels. |
