450,474. Baths; lavatory basins; overflow, supply, and waste fittings. DONALD, P. G., 225, Upper Thames Street, London. Jan. 22, 1935, No. 2084. [Class 26] An overflow fitment for a bath fitted with a detachable sink or wash-hand basin comprises a body portion 8 with a sink waste discharge 4 and a normal bath overflow 5 connected to a common outlet 6, the mouth of the normal bath overflow being higher than the mouth of the sink waste discharge. The overflow 5 consists of a flattened tube. The bath is provided with a horizontal ledge 12 upon which the basin rests with its outlet 10 over the mouth 4. The flange 12 is provided at this end with taps 14, the tops of which are substantially level with the rolled edge of the bath so as to permit the use of a cover. A plug may be fitted to close the mouth 4 when the bath is to be used and this plug may also fit the basin outlet. The basin may be located in position by rubber studs secured on the ledge of the bath. Recesses may be formed on the bath to accommodate a wringer support as described in Specification 449,564. The cover preferably comprises two hinged portions, one of which is provided with longitudinal grooves and a transverse ledge so that when folded back it can be used as a draining board. When fully extended over the bath, the cover serves as a table. Each tap comprises a body accommodating the spindle and valve, the portion 17 having an inlet 18 and an outlet 19 located below the ledge 12. The outlet 19 communicates by a horizontal passage 20 with a delivery pipe 21, 22. The tap is secured to the ledge by positioning caps-or units on the body portion and pipe 21.
