Specification of Letters Patent Patented Sept. 8, 1908.

Serial No. 318,512.

To all whom it 'Iflfld/ cmiccra:

Be it known that l, Px'rmon J. hiADDEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Plumbing- Fixtures, of which the following is a specification.

The term fixtures as used\ in this specification intended to comprehend water closets, urinals, sinks, bath tubs, wash basins, and all other plumbing devices in the nature of receptacles with which it is neces,

sary to make a pipe-connection for either supplying or evacuating the receptacle.

in its broad ast aspect the invention covers and includes either an inlet or an outlet pipe, and in a more limited aspect it includes features peculiar to each, and in a still more limited aspect it includes a cooperative relation of both, with respect to the bowl.

For the sake ol brevity the term bowl will be hereinafter used to denote the receptacle of the fixture, but with the understandmg that any other specific name for a reccp .tacle of any particular type or character may be read for it.

The invention is particularly well adapted to that class of fixtures in which the bowl has to be removed from time to time for the purpose of removing obstructions or for repair purposes, and with iixtures of this class, especially those in which the bowl must be removed and put in place from through which the pipe connection or connections extend), facility oi removal and replacement, 1s, ol' course, lmpoctant.

As before intimated, the invention is apphcablc to all classes of plumbing i1xtures,

but my original aim was to provide an 1mproved urinal, and sincoit is to this class of fixtures that the invention is particularly in front (a. c., without going back of the wall or slab form. Fig. 2 is a front elevation thereof on a' smaller scale. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectlOIiOll thelme 33 F 1g. 1, looking downward. F 4 is a front elevation of a frag-' ment of a bowl, showing a modification. Fig. 5 is a vertical section ofa bowl, showing another modification.

A represents the bowl (of a urinal) having at top an inlet opening A and at bottom an outlet opening n both of which, in the in stances given, are disposed vertically. The bowl shown in the drawings has a vertical back adapted to fit against a wall, a slab, or other suitable support, B, that side of the wall upon. which the bowl is located being the side herein referred to as the front sidel. The wall has through it two openings B and B, through the former of which extends an inlet or supply pipe C and through the latter of which extends an outlet or discharge pipe D. The horizontal portion of the outlet pipe 1) preferably'iits the opening B snugly so that it is incapable of any vertical. movement, while, for reasons that will appear hercmal'ter clearance is provided between the inlet pipe C and the wall B in order to permit limited vertical movement of the inlet pipe in the opening B", it being understood that the inlet pipe is movable vertically to a limited extent. This vertical movement may be provided for by making the pipe itseli of sullicient length to give it the necessary rlexibility, or by connecting it with a flexible section made of lead. This, however, is a detail which may be left to the (,liscretion of the plumber. The drawings show the several parts of the fixtures in their final or ultimate positions (excepting the shape of the gasket) and. for the time being the following description will be confined to these relations, a de-,

scription oi" the manner of assembling them being given later on.

The bowl has in its rear side a recess or cavity a the top of which preferably slopes downward and rearward so as to provide an inclined overhanging shoulder a and this shoulder rests upon a correspondingly inclined surface of a lateral arm of a bracket E which is secured to the wall B through the mediumof a wall plate c. This bracket, in itscll, may be'sullicient to support the weight ol" the bowl, and the complementary, inclined engaging surfaces of theshoulder and bracket form interlocking features that prevent the horizontal movement of the bowl away from the wall B,- unless such horizontal movement be accompanied by a sullicient vertical movement to clear the shoulder a. The bowl is, however, additionally supported by the pipes C and l), and its upwardmovement is prevented by means new to be described. The outlet pipe D has its in-take end de-- flected downward and upward so as to form what is known in the art as a P-trap, located wholly in front of the wall, the in-take end or mouth of which is vertical, registering with the outlet A of the bowl, and in the form sure device which preferably includes a set screw G disposed with its axis coincident with the projected axis of the outlet opening and the in-take end of the pipe 1). In that form of the invention which is specific to this application, the upper end of the screw en-' gages the outlet pipe 1) (which latter is providelwrm a'secket or depression for reviving'it) so that when the screw is driven home it will tend to force the outlet pipe upward, but its upward movement being prevented by its contact with the wall B at the upper side of the o ening B", the result will be the drawing of t 1e bowl downward, compressing the gasket 1* and drawing the shoulder a to a firm seat upon the bracket E. It is unnecessary to here give dimensions and measure ments which the parts must have in order to accomplish this result. Sullice it to say that the parts must be so pro iiortioncd that when the bowl is presented in a'horizontal direction toward the wall it will pass, without contactin g therewith, both the gasket 1 and the bracket E and then, when it reachescontact with the wall, it maybe lowered so that it rests'upon'the gasket 1, compressing the latter to a limited extent (proportional to the weight of the bowl) in which condition the shoulder a will be slightly out of contact with the bracket E. Thereafter, the driving home of the screwGwill draw the bowl downward, with the double effect of compressing the gasket I and bringing the shoulder a to a firm seat on the bracket E.

In that class of fixtures in which anee is a desideratum the appea1= end of the outlet pipe 1) is concealed by a housing A on the bottom of the bowl. lhe housingis preferably integral with the bowl so that there is me joint through wl'ii'ch liquid trickling down thefront or side of the bowl can enter the housing there to become foul, or to come in contact with the outlet pipe and corrode it. Furthermore, the outlet pipe being completely concealed, it is unnecessary to give it a fine finish by. polishing, nickel plating or otherwise, and a cheaper grade of metal may be used for making it, thus effecting a very material saving in the cost of manufacture. In the form of the invention which is specific to this application, the housing forms. the support for the pressure-device above mentioned. If the housing is of earthenware a nut G for receiving the pressure screw G is placed inside of it, and an opening is made throughthe bottom of it for giving access to the screw for turning it. In any event the housing is open at back for admitting the outlet pipe as the bowl is being placed against the Wall. 7

The means for connecting the inlet pipe to the bowl are similar to those just described for connecting the outlet pipe, and similar features of both are indicated by similar reference letters but for the sake of distinction small letters have been used for the parts accessory to the inlet ipe.

As already explainer ,.in order to place the bowl against the wall it is necessary to lift it high enough for the shoulder a to clear the bracket E and at the same time it is equally necessary that the gasket f (having previously been put in place) shall clear the flanged mouth of the inlet pipe 0 and to this end the normal position of the inlet pipe must, during this operation, be sufiiciently high. It is for this reason that the opening B is made in the form of a vertical slot long enough to provide clearance for the pipe 0. The bowl having been put in place, brought to a bearing upon the bracket E, and the screw Gr having been driven home,the screw g is driven home, thereby forcing the inlet pipe C downward so that its flanged mouth compresses the gasket f against the bowl. If the parts are nicely proportioned, in their final positionsthe inlet pipe 0 will come to a bearing upon the wall B at the bottom of the opening B so that the bowl will have three points of support, namely, at the o enings B and B and at the bracket E. I e'sire to have it understood, however, that with a snug iit between the outlet pipe D and the walls of the opening B the bracket E may be dispensed with and, furthermore, that it will not be necessary for the inlet pipe C to have a bearing upon the wall at the bottom of the opening B. When the screw G is driven home, the pipe D will of itself prevent either the upward or the downward movement of the bowl and the screws G and g, the ends of which are received in sockets in the pipes D and C, respectively, will revent the bowl from moving away from t e Wall, assuming that said pipes are themselves inca able of any outward movement, On the ot Ier hand the bracket E, alone, may be relied upon for wholly supporting the bowl and holding it against outward movement, but in least, of the pipes to have contact with the this event it will be necessary for one, at I connections are more or less exposed.

instance, in Fig. 4 is shown a modification in wall B at the top of the opening through which it passes. I prefer, however, to construct the bowl precisely as shown in the drawings.

It will be observed that both the inlet and the outlet pipes have bends near their open ends, and that when the parts of the fixture are assembled in proper relations to each other the bends proceed in opposite directions so that the mouth or terminus of the inlet pipe is presented downward while the mouth or terminus of the outlet pipe is presented upward. l/Vith this arrangement it "will be seen that by tightening the pressure screws G and g the ends of the two pipes will be forced toward each other, and thereby compress the gaskets and firmly clamp the bowl between them, but without putting upon it any considerable amount of strainv that will have a tendency to break it. It is in order that the screws may reduce this pressure upon the pipes that tl ie latter are provided with the bends and these bends make it possible to arrange a pressure producing device directly opposite the openings in thebowl. This arrangement has the advantage of enabling the bowl to be either put in place or removed with great facility.

It will be observed that in the preferred form of the invention hereinbefore described the part A serves the double purpose of a support for the pressure device and a housing for concealing the pipe connection. In addition to the functions above described the housing all'ords means for ornamentation, but in some grades of fixtures ornamentation is practically left out of consideration. In such fixtures, the housing feature may be omitted and the support for the pressure dc- 'vi-re may be of such a nature that the pipe For which the support for the pressure dcvicc is in the form of a hanger or stirrup ll attached to the bottom of the bowl. Assiuning the bowl to be of metal the attachment zi'ia-y be -made by means of screws, bolts or other suitable devices. The hanger or stirrup being made of metal the screw (i may have direct threaded engagement therewith and the nut G, which is necessary in the event ol" a housing or support of carthcnware, is dispcnscd with.

in the form of the invention shown in Fig. 5 the support is in the l'orm ol a bracket ll attached to the wall B through the medium of the wall plate 2. In this form of the invention thetwo brackets 15 and it are intogral with the wall plate (4 and the wall plate is rovidcd with an opening for the pipe I).

n the form of the invention shown in Fig. l the inlet and outlet pipes U and l) have what may be called butt-joints with the bowl, nothing save the packing rings l andf being interposed between them, while in the forni of the invention shown in Fig. 0 the in let and outlet pipes have slip joints with the bowl. In other words the ends of the pipes enter the inlet and outlet openings of the bowl. In this form of the invention the pressure screw G bears against a voke l which carries a ring I surrounding the pipe and this ring, in turn, bears against a packing ring or gasket, F which surrounds the )ipe and occupies an enlargement or counterlXJI'G A of the. opening A. In this as in the preferred form of the invention the accessories of the inlet and outlet pipes are of similar construction, small letters being used for the accessories of the inlet pipe for the sake of distinction.

The specific form of the ii'iveution shown in Fig. 5, in which the end of the pipe (inlet or outlet) extends into the opening ol the bowl so as tol'orm a-slip joint therewith, and in which the packing is compressed against the bowl and pipe by a loose follower which surrounds the plpe and is carried by a yoke, which latter is borne upon by a set screw carried by a bracket supported iudopomlcutly of the bowl, is not specifically claimed in this application. It forms the subject ol a. sepa rate application, of even date herewith hearing Serial No. 318,512) and needs no further description in this specification. It is included in this application only as a species of the generic invention.

It will be observed that in all of the several forms or species of the invention the bowl has vertical inlet and outlet openings. T he inlet and outlet pipes terminate in vertion]. branches presented downward and up ward, respectively, and there are means for exerting pressure downward and upward lor forming tight joints between the bowl and the inlet and outlet pipes, respectively.

in the several l'orms ol the invention the bracket lC is an element in the means l'or supporting the bowl but, as bel'orc intimated, this bracket may be entirely dispensed with. in the several forms the bowl is clzu tween thc pressure device acting vcrt' ally, upward and downward, against it. lo the l'orm shown in Fig. l the pressure devices act directly against the pipes C aud l) so that they enter into the means l'or supporting tho bowl while in thc l'orm shown in Fig. 5 the pressure dcviccs have no direct action upon the pipes but act upon them only through the frictional coutact therewith ol' the gaskots F and What l claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
