Application 'filed January 29,, 1913. Serial No. 744,996.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY PRICE, a c1t1- zen of'the United States, residing-at New- Castle, in the county of Lawrence and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and of which the following is a specification.

- The present invention discloses a mold of novel form, adapted to fashion in one piece, the bowl of a water-closet and the lower, tubular extension thereof.

One object ofthe present invention is to provide a Structure of this type in which an opening exists in the bottom of the bowl, above the spoon, novel means being provided for closing the opening, after the spoon has been fashioned.

Another object of the inventionis to provide novel means for forming the spoon.

The invention aims, further, to provide novel means for forming and for assem bling with the spoon, elements which cooperate to form the end walland the upper wall of the outlet for the bowl.

The invention aims, further, to provide a novel process for forming the spoon and for closing an opening in the bowl above the spoon.

'It is withinthe scope of the invention to present a novel process whereby the end wall and the upper wall of the outlet for the bowl are assembled with the spoon.

The invention aims, further, to improve generally, and-to increase the utility of molds whereby .water closets are formed.

It is within the scope of the invention to improve generally, the process whereby the water closet is formed, and to improve the severalsteps of such a process.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides-in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, can be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing fromthe spirit of the invention.

In the drawings :Figure 1 shows a vertical longitudinal section, of a water closet constructed in accordance with the present invention; ,-Fig. 2 is a transverse section of the structure shown in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the main mold cated by the reference 'charaxter 7.

' sections spaced apart; Fig. 41S a perspective view of the spoon-forming mold; Fig. 5 is a perspective of the L-shaped mold which is.

employed for forming the upper wall and the end wall of the outlet or siphon of the bowl; Fig. 5 is a perspective of the member which is inverted upon. the elements shown in Fig. 3 to effect a closure of the opening which exists in the bottom of the bowl; Fig. 7 1s a fragmental perspective of the ,ring which is connected with the upper rim of the bowl; Fig. 8 is a perspective of thebase of the complete structure; and Figs. 9, 10, 1'1 and 12, are transverse sectional views illustrating several steps in the processherematter described. e

' The bowl portion of the closet is fashioned 1n a pair of main mold sections denoted by the numeral 1 as shown in detail in Fig. 3. One of these sections 1 upon its inner face, is provided with openings 2, adapted to receive bosses 3 which outstand from the inner face of the other main mold section 1, the

parts'Q and 3 cooperating to prevent themain mold sections 1 from sliding upon each other and from changing their relative positions The main mold sections 1 are duplicates, and each section is provided with an upper recess 4: and a lower recess 5, there being a passage 6 extended between the recesses 4 and 5. The line, at which the upper recess ,4 merges into the passage 6 is indi- Surrounding the upper end of the recess 4: is an annular groove 8 and radial grooves 9 communicate with the groove 8. At the back of each main mold section 1 is formed a radial groove 10 which is deeper than the grooves 9. A superficial recess 11 opens into the groove 10 and co nmunicates with the annular groove 8. The recesses 4 and the passages 6 are lined wit-h plastic material, in a sufliciently stiff condition to be worked readily by the fingers or by a tool, this plastic material being indicated by the reference character 12 in Fig.$). The two mold sections 1 are then brought into abutting relation, the bosses 3 registering in the openings 2. The plastic material 12 is then caused to coalesce, by pressure or otherwise, along the lines 14 which indicate the places of abutment between the inner faces of the sections 1.

The operation above described serves to fashion the bowl 1S and its depending tubular extension, the front Wall of the bowl. being indicated by the reference character 15 in Fig. 1 and the rear wall of the bowl being indicated by the reference character 16, the reference characters 17 serving to indicate, in Fig. 2, the side walls of the completed structure and the bowl being indicated generally by the reference character 18. By the operation above described an opening 19 (referring to Fig. 9) will be left in the bottom of the bowl 18, the periphery of this opening being defined by the lines 7, will be understood best when Fig. 3 is examined.

The structure, as thus far completed, comprises the bowl 18 and its tubular, depending extensions, and the next step, ordinarily, is to apply the spoon which, in Fig. 1, is denoted by the reference character 28. In carrying-out this step. in the process, there is employed a spoon mold, shown in Fig. 4 and denoted generally by the numeral 20. The spoon mold 20 comprises a pallet 21, secured to which is a base 22. This base 22 is shaped to correspond with the base of the finished product, the base of the finished product being shown in Fig. 8 and bcin g designated by the reference character lipstanding from the base of the spoon forming mold 20 is a pedestal 21 which adapt ed to fit in the passage (3. The pedestal 21 at its upper end extends but part way across the passage 6, in the direction of the longer dimension of the passage, in order that an outlet may be provided at the front of the structure. as will be understood readily from Fig. 1. The upper end face of the pedestal Q 1, indicated at 25, is concaved both longitudinally and transversely.

A section of plastic material, indicated at 26 in Fig. 11, is placed upon the end face 25 of the pedestal 24 and is compacted to approximate the curvature of the end face 25. The main mold sections 1 are then superposed upon the pallet 21, the base of the spoon-forming mold 20 registering in the lower recess 5 and the pedestal 21 extending upwardly into a passage 6. By this operation, the material indicated at 26 and carried by the end face 25 of the pedestal 24 will be positioned to form the spoon 28, shown in Fig. 1, the pedestal 21- serving to compact the tubular portion of the water closet in the passage 6. The material indicated at 26 is then compacted manually so as to cause the same to coalesce with the depending tubular portion of the bowl. along the lines indicated at 27 in Fig. 10. By this operation, the spoon :28 is mounted in place,

one end of the spoon 28 being joined up with the rear wall 16 as indicated at 29 in Fig. 1. It is now necessary to complete the 'upper wall of the outlet 100, indicated at 38 in Fig. 1, and to complete the end wall 39 of the outlet, and to join these parts to the spoon 28 so that siphon maybe completed.

,equipped at one end with a boss h erally by the numeral 30 and may, for convenience, be denominated the siphon mold. The mold 30 comprises a pallet 31, provided with a base 32. corresponding in outline to the base 23 of the finished product as shown in Fig. 8. Secured to and upstanding fr m the base 32 is an L-shaped element 33 comprising a. bed)! 31 and an upstanding stem :35, one end of the body being rounded off as shown at 36. A mass of plastic material which, in Fig. 11, is indicated by the numeral ST, is placed upon the body 34; of the L and upon the stem 35 of the L and is compacted upon these elements, to conform to the desired shape. The main mold sections 1 are then lifted off the spoon mold, the parts being positioned as shown in Fig. 10.

The main mold sections 1 are then placed upon the mold section 30, the parts appearing as shown in Fig. 11. By this operation, the mass of material 37 which is carried by the L 33 is thrust upwardly into the passage 6 and unites with the spoon 28 to form the end wall. 39 of the outlet and to form the upper wall 88 of the outlet, reference being had to Fig. 1. A chamber -10 will he formed at the rear end of the wall 38, where the same joins the rear wall 16', this chamber e10 resulting from the fact that one end of the body l-l is curved or rounded as indicated at 3K3. Furthermore, there will be formed an other chamber 11, defined by the wall 38,

the wall 39 and the spoon 538. During the halting operation, of course, the chambers l0 and 41 are punctured to permit the steam and heated air to escape, thereby avoiding a luu'sting of the structure. It now remains to close the opening indicated at 19 in the bowl 18. In carrying out this step, there is em 'iloyed a bowl closing mold shown in Fig. (3 and designated by. the reference character 12. The bowl closing member 42 comprises a pallet el -hprovided with radial ribs 44: and with a cap Projecting from the cap 45 is a rib -16, the edge of which is inclined as indicated at 47, the rib 4:6 being A piece of plastic material indicated at d9 is applied to and worked down upon the inclined end face 47 of the rib -16. The bowl closing member 12 is then inverted and is placed upon the main bowl sections 1, the ribs 44 registering in the grooves 9 and the cap piece 45 registering in the groove 8. The plastic material indicated at 49 is received in a rabbct 50 formed in the bowl 18 around the periphery of the opening therein and is joined up with the constituent material of the bowl, to form the bottom closure 51, one end of the closure, indicated at 52, being determined by the boss 18 and the other end ofthe closure being connected up with the 'wall 15, as indicated in Fig. l. The bowl closing member 12 is then removed, leaving the material 49 in place to form the closure 51. The base indicated at 23 and shown in 8 is inserted into the lower recess 5 of the main mold sections and a ring 53, shown in Fig. 7, is assembled with the upper edge of the bowl, the ring 53 havinga hinge lug 154 extending into the recess 11, the hinge lug 5 1 being provided with an inlet 55 registering in the deep groove 10. The main mold sections 1 may then be removed and, the structure will appear as depicted in Fig. 1. The device is permitted to dry out and,

after a sufficient period of time has elapsed, is baked in the usual manner.

Attention is directed to the fact that the water closet herein disclosed is a one piece structure from top' to bottom. Owing to the fact that the opening 19 is left in the bowl, and owing to the fact that this opening 19 is not closeduntil the mold section 42 is applied, access may be had readily to the 25 interior of the water closet, for the purpose of closing joints and finishing up the structure.
