To all whomv it may concern:
Be it known that I, WALTER lV. HAMIL- 'rorv a citizen of the United States, and. resident of lVoburn, county of Middlesen, State of liilassachusetts, have invented an Improvement in Covers for Set'l ubs, of which the following description, in connection with the accoi'npanying drawingyis a specification, like characters on the drawing representing like parts.
This invention relates to covers for set tubs and it has for its general object to provide an improved coverwhich will not warp, which will allow plenty of ventilation for the set tub which can be used as a support for hot dishes without injury, which is provided with a novel means for catching any drip from the faucets and directing it into set tub and which has other features of novelty all. as will be more fully hereinafter set forth.
In order to give an understanding of the invention I have illustrated in thedrawings a selected embodiment thereof which will now be described after which the novel features will be pointed out in the appended claims.
Fig. 1 is a perspective View of a set tub having my improved cover applied thereto. Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional view on the line 2-2, Fig, 1.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged sectional view on the line 8-3 Fig. 1.
Fig. at is an under side perspective view.
In the drawings 1 indicates a set tub of usual construction.
My improved cover is indicated at 2 and is preferably made of metal. The edges of the metal cover are folded over as shown at 3, thereby forming a bead at each edge. This bead has the function of stiffening the cover and it also provides a finished edge.
The cover is provided with two depending positioning flanges 4 and 5 which extend along opposite sides of the cover and are adapted to set into the set tub and engage the side walls thereof. These flanges re tain the cover in proper position on the set tub. The flange 4 is of sufficient length to extend from the front to the back of the tub but the flange 5 may be somewhat shorter so as to notinterfere with the usual soap container 6 with which set tubs are frequently provided.
These flanges l and 5 are shown as made from strips of metal bent into right angular shape and they are retained in place by having one. leg 7 of each strip inserted between the body of the cover and the folded over bead 3. One or both of the flanges 4. 5 is preferably made adjustable so that the cover can be made to fit tubs of different sizes. This adjustability is also of advantage because it enables the cover to be used either with a set tub which is isolated as shown in the drawings. or one which is associated with a sink. In the latter case the edge of the sink or the drain board sometimes overhangs the top of the tub slightly thus necessitating an adjustment of one of the flanges to enable the cover to fit. Y
My improved cover is provided with a valley or depression situated beneath the faucets. such valley being for the purpose of catching any drip from the faucet. This valley is open at its ends so that the drippings may flow into the tub. These open ends of the valley serve not only to conduct the drippings into the tub but also. furnish means for ventilating the tub.
In the construction shown thecover 2 is provided with an elongated opening 8 extending along the back side thereof and beneath the faucets the opening being somewhat longer than the distance between the hot and cold water faucets. The material of the cover at the opposite edges of the opening is bent back on itself beneath the cover to form lips 9 which support the valley 10. This valley is formed from a sheet of'metal. having a length corresponding to that of the opening 8, which sheet of metal is bent transversely into the curved form shown and the edges of which are bent inwardly as shown at 11 to interlock with the lips 9. This valley is provided with the open ends 12 leading into the tub. Any dripping from the faucets will be caught in the valley and will drain into the tub through thaopen ends 12. Moreover these open ends provide ventilating openings through which the tub is completely yentilated.
In making the device the opening 8 may be out in the cover and the edges9 turned back, and after the valley has been shaped the inturned edges 11 thereof may he slipped onto the lips 9 in a direction longitudinally thereof. After the valley has thus been attached to the cover the flanges 4 and 5 may be inserted-in position.
The cover can be manufactured inexpensively and because of its construction it will not Warp or twist as a wooden cover frequently does. Moreover because it is metal hot dishes may be supported on it Without injury thereto.
I claim.
1. A cover for a set tub comprising a metal body of a size to cover the tuband having an elongated opening near one edge,
a valley secured to the cover beneath the opening adapted to catch the drip from the faucets, the ends of the valley being open beneath the cover,
2. A cover for a set tub comprising a metal body of a size to cover the tub and having an elongated opening near one edge. the material. of the cover at the edge of the opening being turned back to form lips on the under side of the cover, and a valley member supported by said lips and open at its ends.
3. A cover for set tubs comprising a sheet metal body of a size to cover the tub, flanges depending from opposite sides of said body near its edges, one of said flanges being adjustable, said cover having an elongated opening near one edge. and an openended valley member secured to the under side of the cover beneath said opening.
In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification.
WALTER W. HAMILTON.
