Description

Patented Apr. 15, 1924.
JOHN T. DIVEKEY, F AURORA, ILLINOIS.
CLOSET FLANGE.
Application filed July 18, 1921. Serial No. 485,716.
To all 107mm, it may concern:
Be it known that 1, JOHN J. DIVEKEY,
a citizen of the United States, residing at Aurora, in the county of Kane and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Closet Flange; and I do hereby declare the following to be a :full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
The invention relates to toilet connections and more particularly to the floor flange between the closet bowl and the sewer pipe or closet bend whereby to prevent leakage at the joint and insure a firm support for the bowl at all times.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent and suggest themselves as the nature of the invention is understood.
\Vhile the drawing illustrates an embodiment of the invention it is to be understood that in adapting the same to meet different conditions and requirements, various changes in the form, proportion and minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the nature of the invention.
Referring to the accompanying drawing forming a part of the specification.
Figure 1 is a sectional detail of a closet joint illustrative of the invention.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the closet or floor flange, and
Figure 3 is a detail perspective view of a portion of the closet flange showing the bolts or stud housing.
Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and designated in the several views otthe drawings by like reference characters.
The numeral 1 designates a closet bowl. or like fixture having a supporting flange 2 extending outwardly therefrom and provided with. depending flanges 3 and 4 and having slots 5 for the reception of bolts or studs 6 whereby the fixture 1 is secured in the required position. The numeral 7 designates the usual closet bend or outlet of the sewer pipe to which the closet bowl 1 or like fixture is connected. The floor is designated by the numeral 8 and has an opening for the reception of the closet or floor flange which forms the essential element of the connection between the parts 1 and 7.
The flange 9 has a depending collar 10 and key hole slots 11 to receive the heads of the bolts or studs 6. A housing 12 provided on the under side of the flange 9 completely encloses each of the key hole slots 11 and prevents the escape of moisture should the same find its way through the slots 11 from any cause. Upstanding ribs or flanges 13 and 14 are provided at the inner and outer edges of the flange 9, respectively, and the channel or annular space formed between the ribs 13 and 14 will catch any moisture and direct the same into the sewer pipe or closet bend 7. This result is effected by providing the inner rib or flange 14 with a plurality of notches 15 which extend the full depth of the rib 1 1 to completely drain the channel or space enclosed by the ribs or flanges 13 and 14;. A corrugated gasket 16 is disposed between the supporting flange 2 ot the fixture 1 and the floor or closet flange 9 and occupies the space or channel formed between the ribs or flanges l3 and 1 1. The collar 10 of the floor or closet flange may be or" any depth and tapers slightly towards its lower end and is provided with an inwardly extending shoulder 1'7 which supports the filling or packing 18 of the calk joint formed be r tween the parts 7 and 10. The lead calking is designated by the numeral 19.
Having thus described the invention, what I claim is 1. In combination, a hopper provided with a groove in the under surface of its base, a flange to rest on a floor and accommodated in said groove, said flange having a collar integral therewith and depending therefrom :tor connection with an outlet pipe at a distance below the point of dis charge of the hopper, means to 'lasten the hopper to said flange, and upstanding flange means on said flange to prevent drainage from the upper surface of said flange over the margin thereof. and said upper surface of the flange being in draining relation with said collar and outlet pipe.
2. A closet flange having inner and outer upstanding ribs enclosing a channel or space for receiving moisture and having outlets in the inner ribs for the escape of moisture from said channel or space into the closet bend or sewer pipe.
3. A closet flange provided with slots for the reception of fastening means and hav ing a housing for each of the slots complete- 1y enclosing the lower side thereof, said flange having upstanding inner and outer ribs enclosing a channel or space, the inner rib being notched to provide an outlet for 10 any moisture from said channel or space through the closet bend or sewer pipe.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
JOHN J. DIVEKEY. Witnesses:
