SHOWER BATH APPARATUS.

Patented Sept. 5, 1916.
Hm P S nut JOHN HOWARD IVIQELROY, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
SHOWER-BATH APPARATUS.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept, 5, 1916.
Application filed November 14, 1908, Serial No. 462,587. Renewed January 20, 1913. Serial No. 743,208.
and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shower- Bath Apparatus, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact specification.
My invention is concerned with a novel valve adapted to constitute a part of or be removably secured to the customary mixer of a bath tub, and by the use of which a shower is thrown throughout the tub by simply turning the valve, and it is designed to produce a compact valve of the class described which shall be simple in its construction, certain in its operation, and which can be manufactured at a low cost so as to place them within the reach of all users of ordinary stationary bath tubs.
To illustrate my invention, I annex here to one sheet of drawings, in which the same reference characters are used to designate identical parts in all the figures, of which,-
Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view through a valve embodying my invention; Fig. 2 is a plan view in section on the .line GG of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a vertical section on the line DD of Fig. 1; Fig. 4 is a view in section on the line EE of Fig. 1; Fig. 5 is a front elevation with the shower nozzle in position to discharge the water into the tub; and Fig. 6 is a detail in section showing a modified form of connection with the mixer.
My invention is adapted to be employed in connection with a customary stationary bath tub, which is provided with customary hot and cold water cocks associated with the mixer 13, which in the ordinary construction terminates in a detachable nozzle adapted to receive a hose for use in connection with a shower ring, or for any other desired purpose.
I preferably form the valve member of the general shape shown, so that the nozzle will be brought directly beneath the mixer 13 so as to discharge at the central line of the tub, and the valve member is provided with the customary flange 30 to secure it in place by the nut 18, and is in the form of a tube, which has the vertical portion 31 and the U-shaped portion 32, the lower horizontal side 33 of which is preferably tapered and forms the support for the valve casing 34, which is pivotally secured thereon by the nut 35 and washer 36. The valve casing 34 in this form has the nozzle 37, which normally projects downward and the boss 38 having the flaring aperture 39 leading to the perforated nozzle plate 40; which is held 1n place by the annular flange 41 screwed onto the boss 38. The water of course passes through the tubular valve member and is discharged from one or more apertures into the valve casing, which apertures are suitably located so that when the casing is turned in the position shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the water will be discharged through the nozzle 37 in the customary manner, whereas when it is turned into the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3 and in full lines in Fig. 5, the water will pass out through the nozzle plate.
In Fig. 6, I have illustrated a modification of the connections between the valve and the mixer, which may be used where it is desired to provide a connection that may be used with any make of bath tubs. As is well known to those versed in the art, the different makers have the flaring seats in the mixers of different angles, so that the surface 30 must be of a particular angle to fit its particular tub, and to obviate this difliculty, I may form the connection 31 with a flange 42, upon which is seated the tapered packing rim 43, which may be of rubber or soft metal that can be forced to conform to the taper of the seat in the mixer vhen the nut 18 is screwed in place as beore.
While I have shown and described my invention as embodied in the form which I at present consider best adapted to carry out its purposes, it will be understood that it is capable of modifications, and that I do not desire to be limited in the interpretation of the following claims except as may be necessitated by the state of the prior art.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is:
1. A shower-bath valve consisting of a hollow valve member having an inlet adapted to be connected to a mixer and having an outlet near its termination, and a valve casing provided on one side with a flaring outlet covered by a small perforated nozzle plate, and on the other side with an ordinary outlet and movable on said valve member to bring the two outlets alternately into discharging position.
10 ing being rotatable on said valve member to bring the two outlets alternately into discharging position.
In Witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and afiiXed my seal, this 12th day of November, A. D. 1908.
