Application filed December 21, 1920. Serial No. 432,353..
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that l, linnnrnnn l). LESLIE, a citizen o' the Unite( States or America, and a resident ot' Milton, in the county of Nor- 'lolk and Commonwealth et Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful lmprevements in lflushing Tanks, of which .the following is a specication.
This invention relates to :flushing tanks or reservoirs and particularly to devices of this character used in connection with water closets and the like.
The main object ot the invention is the production of anon-sweating tank oiY simple construction which will have great rigidity and be well ventilated.A
The invention consists vprimarily of an open-work wooden frame having its front and sides covered with an enameled sheet metal plate, said itrame being provided with means for supporting an inner water receptacle of earthenware.
The invention further consists of certain novel features of construction and arrangement oit parts which will be understood readily by reference to the description et the drawings and to the claims to be hereinatter given. y
For the purpose ot illustrating the inventionj one preferred 'term thereoiiE is illustrated in the drawings, this form having been found to give satisfactory and reliable results although it is to be understood that the various instrumentalities otwhich the invention consists can loe variously arranged and organized and the invention is not lunited to the precise arrangement and organi- :ration of these instrumentalities as herein shown and described except as required by the scope of the appended claims.
@t the drawings:
Figure 1 represents a plan view of a {lushing tank embodying the principles of the present invention. with the cover removed.
Figure 2 represents a section of the same on line 2, .27 on ltig. 1, with the cover in place.
Figure 8 represents a transverse section of the same on line 3, 3, on Fig. 2.
Figure l represents a vertical section of the body of the tank looking toward the front7 and Figure 5 represents a similar view of the body of the tank looking toward the rear.
Similar characters .indicate like parts throughout the several ligures of the drawings.
. ln the drawings, 10 is a framework of wood having the bottom 11 and ends 12.
The rear edges ofthe ends 12 are conneeted by boards 13 and 111 which are separated from eachother asshown in the drawings.
The upper board 13 is inclined in its lower edge as indicated at 15 in order to provide a means oiE mounting ,the framework upon a cleat secured to the wall of the building.
The front` edees ot the ends 12 are connected by the strips 16 and 17 having grooves 'formed longitudinally thereotl into which project the reduced ends or vertical strips 18.
The bottom board 11 ot the framework 10 is provided with an opening 19 for the outlet pipe and is alsoprovided with an opening 2O for theinletfpipe.
Une Aoit-the vvertical strips 18 is provided with al hole 21 for the valve-operating mechanism.
The iront and sides of the wooden framework are covered by means of a metal plate 22 and this plate 22 has flanges 23 projecting onto the rear tace ot the framework 10 and secured thereto. 4
The metal plate 22 is also provided with top tlanges 24: and bottom flanges 25 which are secured in any well-known manner to the top andbottom 'of the framework 10.
Resting upon the iianges 24. is a projecting flange 2G ot a lining member 27 inserted within the upper end of the framework 10. rlhis lining member 2'? has formed thereon a plurality of inwardly extending supporting members 28.
lliithin the framework 10 and removed from the walls thereof is an earthenware water container 29 having at its upper end shouldered projections 30 resting upon the supporting members 28.
The water container 29 is provided with openings 32 and 33 in the bottom thereof in alinement with the openings 19 and 2O in the bottom board 11 of the wooden framework 10.
Projecting upwardly from the upper edges of the wooden framework 10 are a plurality of dowels 34, the upper ends of which are adapted to extend into holes 35 in the cover 36 which is preferably made et' wood and covered with a sheet metal plate 37 as indicated in the drawings.
Extending through the bottom board 11 are a plurality ot screws 3S, the threaded ends ot vvhich extend into a supplemental bottom board 39 covered with sheet metal 4s() as indicated in the drawings.
The metal plate 22 and the plates 37 and are all enameled so that when the Hushing tank is assembled the appearance is that of a porcelain tank.
The rar edges of the bottom board 1l and the supplemental bottom board 39 are clear of the Wall to which the liushing tank is secured thereby leaving a passage 41 through which the air may pass upwardly around the Wall of the earthenware Water container 29;
By using the earthenware Water container 29 tree from the Walls of the framework l0, the tank is made sweatless and as a consequence the outer metallic casing thereof is kept dry and will not deteriorate.
Should there be any leakage in the Water container' 29 it Will become evident by the drippings through the passage l-l. i
By the use of the earthenware Water container 29 a great saving in cost is made over a tank in which an inner tank is required made of copper or some similar metal.
The completed tank is less expensive to construct than porcelain tanks, of less Weight and therefore easier to transport and in transportation and When installed is less liable to be injured.
When the tank is used as a low-down tank, the supplemental bottoni plate may be dispensed with if desired and when said tank is installed near the top ot the Wall the cover may be dispensed with.
It is believed that the operation and many advantages of the inventionavill be understood readily Without further description.
Having thus described my invention, I claim l. The combination in a flushing tank of a Wooden frame open at the top; a sheet .metal plate covering the front and sides thereof, and an earthen Wal;eieoiitainer supported Within said trame With continuous space between its outer Walls and the inner Walls of said Wooden frame.
2. The combination in a flushing tank of a Wooden frame open at the top; a sheet metal plate covering the front and sides thereof; and an earthen Water-container supported Within said frame 'tree from the Walls thereof by an outwardly extending flange formed on said container and resting on memliiers extending inivardly from the inner Walls of said Wooden frame.
The combination in a tlushing tank olf a Wooden frame open at the top; a sheet metal plate covering the front and sides thereof and secured thereto; a lining for the upper end of said frame having` an out- Wardly extending flange projecting over the top edge of the frame and provided with inwardly extending supporting members; and a Water-container supported by said members and provided in its bottom with a discharge opening.
il. The combination of a flushing tank of a Wooden frame open at the top and consisting of a perforated bottom, imperforate sides, horizontal and separated back strips connecting` said sides and ot which the lower is above the upper ita-ee ot the bottom, and horizontal separated tront strips connecting said sides at the top and bottom and connected by a plurality oit vertical strips; and a metal plate covering the liront and sides of said trarne.
Signed by me at 746i( Old South Bldg., Boston, Mass., this 10th day of December, 1920.
