JULIUS F RU'IZ AND FRANK A. GAUGEB, 0F MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN, ASSIGNORS, BY MESNE ASSIGNMENTS, TO- SAID FRANK A. GAUGEB AND FRANK R. DENGEIE, IBQ'IH or- MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN.
To all whom it mag concern Be it known that we, J ULIUs F. Rum and FRANK A. GAUGER, both citizens of the United States, and residents of .Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain neW'anduseful Improvements in Tub-Fixtures; and we dohereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.
Our invention refers to new and useful improvements in wash tub fixtures, particularly those which are adapted for use on twocompartment stationary tubs, such as is disclosed. in our co-pending application, Serial No. 159,152;
In tubs of this nature, it is customary for each compartment to have both hot and cold water spigots, and also have such spigots similarly arranged in each C0111- partment, that is to say, arranged so that the cold water spigot, for instance, in one compartment will be in a position correspond ingto the cold water spigot of the other compartment. For this reason it is necessary for each pair of tub compartments to have four spigots, two being for hot water and two for cold water. One object ofthe present invention is to provide a simply constructed fixture by which these spigots may be arranged in proper relation to each other and in position to be most effective. It has been found that it is preferable to dispose such fixture upon the upper edge of the rear wall and thus obviate the necessity. of cutting openings through the walls of the tub. Inarranging the outlet openings of the fixture so that the hot and cold water faucets will alternate, it is necessary to divide the. casing of which the fixture is constructed into two compartments.
The structure shown in the above mentioned .co-pending application, Serial No. 159,152, has been found to be more or less inefhcient, although it is a considerable improvement over the art. In other words, it has been discovered that because of the disposition of the. partition walls in the fixture of'the applicants first application, the compartmentswillnot effectively drain and therefore, in extremely cold weather the water, which is trapped, will freeze and thereby prevent the operation of the fixture.
The most important object of the invenrurrrrx'runn,
Specification of Letters Patent;
Patented- Dec 16, 1919: 7 Application filed June 7, 1919. Serial No. 302,535. I 7
tion is, therefore, to arrange, these. compart ments or chambers so asto. produce suflicient dralnage. to preventv freezing and complete blocking of certain of the narrower pas sage ways within the. casing.
With the foregoing and other minor ob! ects 1n v1ew,the lnventron resides inthe novel features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts, which will be i, I
hereinafter more particularly described and claimed, and, shown. in the drawing where- Figure 1 represents a fragmentary view of the. rear wall of a two-compartment.
stationary wash tub, upon which a fixture,
constructed in accordance with our HIV/6th tion, is seated, certain parts of sald fixture being broken away to lllustrate the interior arrangement thereof.
Fig. 2. is a horizontal section taken substantially on the F ig. 1, and V Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse section on the plane of the line 33 of Fig. 1.
In the accompanying drawing, the letters A and B represent the adjacent compartments of a two-compartment stationary wash tub 1, these compartments being formed by a centrally transverse partition wall 2. As is customary in tubs of this character, the upper edge of the rear wall3 is flat and in the present instance is adapted to receive an. elongated rectangular casing 4, which forms a major portion of: ourfixture. The casing is substantially rectangular in cross section and ofa width. approxi mately the same, or slightly greater than, the width of the rear wall of; the tub.
In practice the casing is disposed, so that will extend equal. distances on opposite sides of thepartition wall 2 to thereby allow the faucets.(not shown.) to be arranged in proper relation to each other and to the compartments of the tub. In order to prevent mutilationv of the wall of the tub, depending arms 5 and 5"are cast on the casing a'to form attaching. elements. The arms 5 extend from the: front wall 6 of the casing, while the arm 5 extendsfrorn the rear wall 7, the latter arm carrying a set screw 8 for engagement with the wall 3.: of the tubto cause the other arms 5 to bind there.- against. As illustrated, the arms 5 are prefplane of the, line 22 of erably spaced apart and disposed one on each side of the partition wall 2, while the other arm 5 is midway the ends of the casing.
The rear wall 7 or the casing is provided with a pair of lnlet openings 9 and 9 which are disposed adjacent the opposite ends of the casing, and the front wall 6 has two pairs of outlet openings 1O and 10 formed therein. For convenience in illustration and description the openings 10- will be assumed to be for the reception of the hot water spigots, the other openings being outlets for cold water. From the drawing it will be seen that the openings 10 alternate with the other openings for an obvious purpose.
The interior of the casing 4: is arranged to provide a pair of chambers, one for the hot and the other for .the cold water. In forming these chambers, a longitudinally extending horizontally disposed partition 11 is provided, said partition being positioned at a point closer to the top 12 than the bottom 13 of said casing a. One end of the horizontal partition 11 terminates between one of the outer pairs of openings 10 and 10 and avertical transverse partition 14 is connected therewith, said partition 14; being connected with the front and rear walls 6 and 7 and the bottom 13 or" the casing. The opposite end of the partition 11 terminates adjacent the inner opening 10 and has a vertical transverse wall 15 con nected therewith, said partition 15 being connected with the front and bottom of the casing and spaced from the rear wall 7 thereof, as shown in Fig. 2. Still another vertical transverse partition 16 is provided adjacent this end of the partition 11, this partition 16 being disposed on the opposite side of the above mentioned inner opening 10 from the partition 15 and extends from the top to the bottom of the casing. Similarly to the partition 15 it is connected to the front wall 6 and spaced from the rear wall 7 of the casing.
In order to separate the portion of the casing adjacent the inner opening l0 from the other part, a vertical longitudinal partition 17 connects the spaced ends of said partitions 15 and 16, thereby providing a restricted passageway 18 through which water must pass in flowing from the opening 9*. to the outlet opening 10 in the end of the chamber remote therefrom. It will be noted that water from the opening 9 flows into a chamber from which outlet is provided by the openings 10*.
By such arrangement as this it is obvious that water cannot freeze in the bottom of the casing i, and thus completely stop the operation of the fixture. Even though a smallquantity of water is trapped in the bottom of the casing'below the level of the outlets 10 and 10 it is obvious that liquid can still pass over the frozen portions and through the passageway 18 without serious interruption. Because of the outlets at op posits ends of the horizontal partition 11, it will be seen that the water cannot collect in the restricted part of the casing between this partition and the top thereof. A fixture of this type is believed to be a considerable improvement over any similar fixture on the market and that this construction will effectively carry out the objects, which are hereinbet'ore particularly set forth.
We claim:-
1. The herein described article of manufacture comprising an elongated casing adapted to rest on the upper edge of a stationary wash tub, a horizontal longitudinally extending partition in the casing at a point closer the top than the bottom the-reot and spaced from one end, and a vertical transverse partition extending from the spaced end of the horizontal partition to the bottom of the casing whereby to form a pair of chambers, each of said chambers having an inlet and outlet, the outlet being adjacent the bottom of the casing.
2. The herein described article of manufacture comprising an elongated casing adapted to rest on the upper edge of a stationary wash tub, said casing having two pairs of spaced outlet openings in one wall, a horizontal longitudinally extending partition in the casing at a point closer the top than the bottom thereof, a vertical transverse partition extending from one end of the horizontal partition to the bottom and connecting the opposite sides of the casing, said transverse partition being disposed between one of the outer pairs of outlet openings, a second vertical transverse partition connected with the opposite end of the horic zontal partition and extending from the top to the bottom of the casing, said transverse partition being disposed between the other outer pair of openings and connected with one side wall of the casing and spaced from the other, a third vertical transverse partition disposed between the inner pair of openings and extended from said horizontal partition to the bottom of the casing, said third ing in corresponding chambers, each of said chambers also having an inlet opening.
3. The herein described article of manufacture comprising an elongated casing adapted to be disposed horizontally and to rest on the upper edge of a stationary Wash tub, one Wall of said casing having two pairs of openings, the lower edge of all of said openings being adjacent the bottom of the casing and in the same horizontal plane, whereby to effectively drain said'casing, said casing also being partitioned to procure tWo compartments, each alternate opening being in the same compartment, saidpartitions being arranged to provide efficient drainage.
