,IMPROVEMENT IN THE MODES OFATTACHING PIPES TO S |NKS, DR'AINS, &c.

:The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and maldng part of the same.

`To all whom it mwy concern y Beit known that I, AARON B. N OTT, of Fairhaven, in `the county of Bristol and State of .Massachusetts,

have invented aheiv and improved Mode of Attach-- Figure 2 is a topview of the basin `covered bv itsv perforated plate.

Figurer-3 is a top 'view of the basin, with two of its` perforated platesremoved. r

Figures 4, 5, 6, and 7 are views, in detail, of parts which belong to the basin. i

Figure 8 is a diametrical sectionthrough the basin, showing a thin. metal pipe applied to it. 1 Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts 'in the several figures; On the 23d dayof November, A. D. 1869, Letters IEatent-of the United Stateswere grantedtoine for` a'n'invention which was designed for securing waste- Vpipes to kitchen-sinks. `In the schedule making part of my said Letters Patent it is set forth that thein-` vention consists in securing'awaste-pipe to the upper side of a concave depression, which is' made into the bottom of a sink, by means of a clamping-cap, and a packing-ring, which the said bowl or depression was adapted to receive.

My present invention is applicable to sinks for domestic purposes,whether made Vof iron, wood, soapstone, or other material; also, to gutters for houses, to drains, cesspoolaand to tanks of various kindsi It consistsp 1 i First, in a lauged bowl or basin, having a centrally- Y raised rim in its bottom, surrounding a double annular seat aboveand below, which latter are fastening-lugs,

saidiseat being adapted to receive on its upper side a yflange which is formed on a packing-tube or collar, and

on its bottom side the end rof a wastepipe, 'and a nut for securing the pipe in place, as will be hereinafterY explained. a.

. Second, in a double seat, having lugs above and below it, adapted to receive and hold iirmlyin place upon v its upper side a hanged packing-tube, and also to receive and hold in place to its bottom side a waste-pipe and the retainipg-nnt thereof, whether said seat and lugs be cast in adepression which is formed on a tank,

or whether the said parts `bec-ast separately and afterv ward secured to a tank or other object, as will be hereinafter explained.

Athe bottom of fh nge e.

, To enable others skilled in the 'art to understand my invention, I will describe its construction and pperation. y

' I the accompanying drawing- A representsa bowl or basin, which is not cast with a tank, and which may be circular, rectangular, or of any other shape adapted to theobject for which it is designed.

This bowl is constructed with a iiange, a, around itsv margin, which is perforated, for allowing it to be secured'above or beneath the bottom of a tank or other object.

An annular depression, `c,is made in the bottom of I the bowl A, which 'depression surrounds an annular elevation, d; and within this elevation, below its upper margin, is an annular flange, e, the upper and bottom sides of which are smooth and horizontal, and.; form twoseats.

Inside of the bowl, and rising from the annular depression c, are two over-hanging lugs, li i, which are ar. ranged diametrically vopposite each other, andslightly overhang the flange e, as shown in gs. l and 3.

The upper side of the flange e receives through it, and supports avfianged tube, F.

T-he bottom side of said seat e receives against it the upper end of a waste-pipe, P, and the upperl vanged end of a confining-nut, N, which is forced home against the4 seat by the action oi' the tapering anges O O upon two lugs n u. f p

The lugs n n are cast on the bottom of the howl A, diametrically opposite 'each other, and serve, in comv junction with the two tapering ilanges U 0,to allow -the upper end of pipe P to be forced snugly against It will be seen that the upper end of pipe P is spread out so as to giveit a flaring shape, and that the in' telior of the nut- N is made to correspond to such' shape, .thus firmly securing the pipe P into th'e nut, audpreventing its detachment from thejbowl Acxcept by iirst detaching the said'nnt.

The hanged tube F is constructed with a tubular portion, J, that extends down through the opening,

surrounded by the seat e," and ts snugly into kthe pipe l?.

This tubular portion J terminates at its upper end in a perforated diaphragm, which is surrounded by a flange, f, which has an annular rib, j, formed on its .bottom side, that is forced down hard upon the upper side of the flange c, when the iiangeg` is confined in place beneath the lugs i i, as shown in figs. 1 and 2.

v The notches p 11, .into theedge ofthe iiangc f, allow this fiange to be adjusted beneat-hthe lugs i, i.

B is a perforated'strainer-disk, which is inserted into the bowl A, and supported upon a shoulder, formed in this bowl near its upper margin.

Beneath this strainer is another strainer, which is slotted at g g, so that it will receive the upper portions of the lugs t' -i and rest down snugly in place.

This strainer is doine-shaped centrally. so as to cover the perforated end ci' tube J, and it has an ninnlar depression near its circumference, which is perforated and received more or less into they annular portion e of the bowl A, as shown in the accompanying.,r drawing.

ln iig. 8 a thin metal pipe, R, is represented secured to the bowl, with a iange on the upper endof this pipe resting upon the upper side of the `flange e, and confined down in place by means of the iange which is ou the upper end of the tube J. p

It will be seen, from the above description, that I am enabled to attach pipes of dilcrent kinds to a bowl,

A, in a very secure manner, and without liability of" leaking, and also to readily detach a pipe from the bowl at pleasure, for cleaning out. repairing, 85e.

It will also be seen that the bowl A may be made separate from the object for which it is designed, and secured either to the upper or bottom 'side ot'such 0bject.

It will also be seen that pipes may be attached, as above described, to depressions cast in the bottoms of tanks and other objects, instead ci' to the detachable bowls.

VBy my invention I 'greatly facilitate the process Aof molding, as I obviate the necessity of setting cores, which, under the old plans, are necessary to be used to produce the pipesou the bowls.

Having described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to Secure W by Letters Patent, is

1,."lhe annular double seat-ange e, formed within a raised portion, d, of the flanged bowl A,'in combination with lugs t in n, substantially as and for the purposes described;

2. The iianged tube F, constructed as described, and combined with thel seat c, substantially as described.

3. The flanged nut N and pipe P, in combination with the flange e and lugs n n, and with the flanged tube F, substantially as described.
