BATH ROOM FIXTURE.

To all whom it may concern;

Be itknown that I, ARTHUR P. CODY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Bath-Room Fixture, of which the following is aspecificatibn.

This invention relates to bath room fixtures, the object being to efi'ect a combination construction of an ordinary bath tub and a lavatory basin, the said combination being designed for use in bath rooms where the space is limited.

Another object is to arrange the combination so that one pair of water faucets may be employed for both the lavatory basin and the'tub.

Another object is to arrange the waste pipe of the basin so as to bring it within the. bath tub and thus eliminate the necessity of;

two waste pipes. Another object is to mount the wash basin 'rotatably so that it can be swung out of the way in order to permit the useof the tub.

Another object is to provide a spring locking device that will secure the basin in position beneath the spigot or in inoperative position when the tub is to be used. I With these objects in view the. invention consists in the novel construction and arrangement of parts, hereinafter described, illustrated in the accompanying-drawings, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims, it' being understood that varlous changes in the form, proportions, size and minor details of construction may be made within the scope of the appended claims; without departing from the spirit or sacr1-- ficing any of the advantages of the inven tion.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a plan view of my improved combination bath room fixture, with the basin shown in full lines in position to be used and in dot and dash lines in the position which it will assume when the use of the bath tub is desired.

corresponding parts throughout the several figures of the drawings.

1 indicates an enameled bath tub of ordinary and well known construction. The usual pipes 2 for hot and cold water and the usual apertures indicated at 4, through whlch the water pipes are designed to enter the tub are provided, but thepipes do not, however, enter the tub through these aperntures but extend a predetermined distance above the top rim of the tub and are then bent inwardlytoward the tub and equipped with the usual spigot or spigots 5, the said spigots being arranged in alinement inside the end wall of the tub. A bracket 6 is secured through the apertures 4 to the end wall of the tub and carries a clamping member which is fastened to the water pipes and acts as a support for them. Secured to each of the water pipes 2 at a point slightly below .the'inturned portion of the said pipes, is an annular collar 7, the said collars being in horizontal alinement with each other and secured upon the said pipes by means of set screws 8. An annular ring 9 rests upon the collars 7 and inwardly extending enlarged portions 10 formed at diametrically opposite sides of said ring are provided with central apertures 11 through which'the pipes 2 are designed-to extend. An annular groove 14 is formed upon the exterior of the ring member 9and seated within the said groove is asplit rin'g,-the members 15 :and 16 of which are provided with cars 17 through split ring together in position within the groove. Formed integral with the member 16of the split ring is a substantially square extension 19 with a depending rounded por tion ,20 in which is formeda lateral groove 21. Adjacent either end of the enlarged porwhich extendibolts 18 to secure the said tion is a threaded aperture in which is fitted a set screw 22. A flange 24 of a lavatory basin 25 is seated within the groove formed in the enlarged portion and secured therein by the set screws 22. The split ring is rotatably mounted within the grooveli thus permitting the basin to be swung into the fullline position shown in Fig. 1 or backwardly in the dotted line position shown in v this figure. Awaste pipe'26 is connected to the basin and extends downwardly and discharges within the tub, the saidwaste pipe being Cid-set as clearly shown inFig. 3 to permit the basin to be swung backwardly when the use of the tub is desired.

tlti

A leaf spring 27 is fastened to the upper -t'ace of the ring 9 by one of its ends, the opposite end of the said leaf spring projecting over the periphery of the ring 9 and having secured therein a depending pin 28 and a knob 29. An aperture 30 is formed in the member 15 and is designed to receive the pin 28 when the basin is swung forward in position to be used. -When the pin 28 is seated in the aperture 30, as just described, the split ringis locked against rotation within the groove 1-1 but when it is desired to swing the basin back, the pin can be removed from the aperture 30 by means of the knob 29 and the basin rotated into inoperative position when a second aperture 31 will be brought into alinement beneath the pin 28 and when the knob 29 is released the pin will be seated in the aperture 31 and the parts once more locked against relative movement. The arrangement of the bath room will sometimes necessitate the basin being swung forwardly instead of backwardly when use of the bath tub is desired and in this case the drain pipe 526 can be turned a hall": of a revolution to extend backwardly from the basin and an aperture 32 for the pin 2 is provided in the split ring to lock the basin in inoperative position. i

From the foregoing it will be obvious that with the use of my combined bath room fixture a very compact arrangement of the bath tub and lavatory basin can be made, only one set cit-water pipes and spigots being necesssary for the tub and the basin. With my combination fixture but one drain pipe is necessary for both the tub and basin, thus eliminating a considerable amount of labor and piping in installing the fixture. Aconsideable amount of space is likewise saved and a big advantage thus gained in bath rooms where space is limited.

Having fully described my invention what I claim as new, is

1. A bath room fixture comprising a stationary tub, water pipes adjacent said tub, spigots upon said pipes arranged above said tub, a grooved ring carried by said pipes and a basin rotatably mounted upon said grooved ring, the said basin being designed to be rotated upon said ring and brought into position beneath said spigots when said basin is to be used and swung backwardly from beneath said spigots when said tub is to be used, means for locking the basin in either position and a waste pipe from said basin arranged to discharge within the said tub.

2. A bath room fixture comprising a tub, water pipes for supplying water to said tub, the outlets to said pipes being arranged above said tub, a basin rotatably mounted upon said pipes and designed to be swung into position beneath said outlets and a waste pipe from said basin extending to a point adjacent the bottom of said tub.

3. A bath room fixture comprising a sta tionary tub, water pipes adjacent said tub, a grooved ring carried by said pipes and a basin rotatably mounted upon said grooved ring.

-l. A bath room fixture comprising a tub, water pipes adjacent said tub, a grooved ring carried by said pipes and a basin rotatably mounted upon said ring, above said tub.

5. A bath room fixture comprising a tub, a plurality of water pipes arranged to admit water to said tub, spigots upon said pipes above said tub, a grooved ring upon said pipes and a basin rotatably mounted upon said ring and arranged to be moved into position beneath said spigots and to be swung backwardly from beneath said spigots. v

6. A bath room fixture comprising a tub, water pipes for supplying water to said tub, a grooved ring carried by said pipes, a basin rotatably mounted upon said ring and designed to be swung beneath the outlets of said pipes, means for locking the basin in position beneath said outlets and a waste pipe from said basin extending to a point adjacent the bottom ot'saidtub.

7. A bath room fixture comprising a stationary tub, water pipes adjacent said tub, spigots upon said pipes arranged above said tub, a grooved ring carried by said pipes, and a basin rotatably mounted upon said grooved ring, the said basin being designed to be rotated upon said ring and brought into position beneath said spigots when said basin is to be used and swung bachwardly from beneath said spigots when the tub is to be used and a waste pipe from said basin arranged to discharge within the tub.

lin testimony that I claim the above, I have hereunto subscribed my name.
