SANITARY FIXTURE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

. Patented Oct. 1, 1912.

Application filed August 10, 1911. Serial No. 643,344.

To all whom it may concern:

Be itknown that I, RAYMOND E. CRANE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cameron, in the county of Marshall and State of West Vir inia, have invented certain new and usefu Improvements in Sanitary Fixtures, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to sanitary fixtures such as a wash basin, of a type such as a lavatory or drinking fountain, and is adapted more specifically for that particular class of such fixtures which stand slightly away from the wall, permitting of the cleaning of the wall behind the fixture.-

The objects of my invention are. to support said sanitary fixtures by a hanger which is simple to install and which will permit an adjustment for raising or lowering-either side of the lavatory should the hanger not be installed level, or should the-lavatory be warped so that when the hanger is level the slab would not look right.

I attain these objects in the method shown in the accompanying drawings, in Which' Figure l is a perspectlve view facing the lavatory from a little to the right side of a straight front view. Fig. 2 is a View, partly in section, showing an arm of the bracket .and a sectional view of-part of the lavatory,

so that the method of attachment of bracket to lavatory can be more readily understood. Fig. 3 illustrates a view, loo-king from above the lavatory, for the purpose of showing the location of the groove 0 and the fastening lugs R.

Similar letters refer to "similar parts throughout the several views.

The lavatory bracket with its arms A and A is screwed to the wall by means of screwholes SSS. These arms A and A are equipped with set-screws B-BB, both vertically and horizontally directed. The bracket is also equipped with a tongue or holding-lug C. A' lavatory, which in this case is circular and with a back, T, is provided at lEt-R with lugs which are adapted to receive both the vertical and horizontal setscrews B-B. After the hanger is I screwed to" the wall, the lavatory tongue groove or holding-slot O is set over the tongue C. The vertical set-screws B-B on.

each'arm are then adjusted until the slab of the lavatory is approximately level. The

horizontal set-screws BB are then made tight and abut against the slanting surface of the lugs at R, thus holdingthe lavatory from being pulled away from tongue C. ThlS makes a rigid connection, preventing the lifting of the front of the lavatory orof the rear of the lavatory, and provides at the same time an economical and simple method of supporting same. This construction also enables the wall behind the lavatory to be kept perfectly clean.

Anyone familiar with the art of manufacturing earthenware lavatories" is familiar with the fact that crookedness, owing to shrinkage in firing, is one of the principal difliculties with which such manufacturers have to contend, and the ability toadjust the lavatory by means of set-screws is a very,

side arms, a three-point hearing from said bracket for the holding of said lavatory, means of adjustment of the elevation of each side of the lavatory, and means for locking said lavatory to the bracket, substantially as described.

Cameron, W. Va, Aug. 5', 1911. In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence 'of'two Witnesses.
