JOHN N. NENONEN, OF ABERDEEN, WASHINGTON.

SANITARY WASHBASIN.

Application filed June 26, 1922.

T0 aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JOHN Nns'ron NunoNEN, a citizen of Finland, residing at Aberdeen, in the county of Grays Harbor and State of WVashington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sanitary Vashbasins, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improvement in wash basins, wherein provision is made for so directing the water flow as to utilize said flow for covering a comparatively large area under pressure, in order that an increased washing effect may be obtained through a minimum of exertion and at the same time the interior of the wash basin sub jected to the water flow in a manner to keep the same comparatively clean.

The invention consists in providing a wash basin with a water pipe substantially following the edge contour of the basin and formed with a series of outlets, so that a series of streams of water are directed into and throughout substantially the full area of the basin.

In the drawings:

Fig. 1 is a plan view of the preferred form of the invention.

Fig. 2 is avertical sectional view on line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a similar section showing a slightly modified form.

The invention is directed to providing a basin 1, which may be otherwise of usual form and construction, and properly supported with a water service pipe 2, which is peculiarly arranged in connection with the basin. The basin is designed to be provided with the usual main 3 having lateral branches 4 within the basin and terminal spigots 5, whereby the ordinary water supply to the basin is provided for, A short upright pipe 6 connects with the main and is JIOVlClGCl at its upper end with branch pipes which curve to conform to the curvatureof the upper wall of the basin and terminate at points remote from the main. A valve 8 controls the supply to the branch pipes 7 and the latter are provided throughout their length with perforations 9, by which the water is directed in a series oi. streams into and across the basin. The branch pipes 7 which together form the service pipe 2, are

inclined from the upper end of the upright pipe 6 downwardly so that the terminals of the branch pipes are substantially in a plane with the top of the basin. This leaves the upper edge of the basin substantially free and clear, and yet permits the water from the branch pipes to be directed into the basin with considerable force, and in a manner to cover a very large area In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the construction is similar to that described, except that in this instance, the branch pipes here indicated by 10 curve sharplv downward from the upright 6, and follow the contour of the basin substantially in the plane of the upper edge thereof.

The basin is otherwise of usual form, being provided with a conventional outlet 11 and such other adjuncts as may be desirable in the particular instance. l

The multiplicity of streams delivered from the branch pipes in either form causes a large volume of water to be directed over a large area, and hence in washing as for example, the hand of a person, the searching effect of the multiplicity of streams aids materially in a rapid cleansing of the hands and relieves the person of the usual prolonged rubbing effort for the cleansing effect. Furthermore, the multiplicity of streams serves to eiiectively cleanse the in terior surface of the basin, thus avoiding the usual accumulation. of dirt on the wall of the basin.

Claim:

A basin having a brim, a pair of service pipes extending from below through and above the brim in parallel relation, a T- shaped fixture having the ends of the transverse portion thereof secured to the service pipes, and valves in the end portions for governing the tlow from the pipes to the fixture, the longitudinal portion of the in ture having an. upturned end with a valve at the upper end. governing two outlets, and a pair of downwardly inclined perforated branch pipes, one extending from each outlet, conforming to the contour of the basin and terminating adjacently the outer side thereof.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

JOHN N. NENONE.
