BATHTUB.
Application filed January 6, 1922. Serial No. 527383.
I To all whom it may camera means being provided for adjusting the re ceptacle vertically, to the end that it may be used conveniently either as a bath tub or as a wash tub, and novel means being provided for; controlling the gate which divides the receptacle into two compartments.
It is within the province of the disclosure to improve generally and to enhance the utility of devices of that type to which the invention appertains.
With the above and other objects'in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that, within the scope of what isclaimed, changes in the precise embodiment of the invention shown can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
In the drawings Figure 1 shows in longitudinal section, a device constructed in accordance with the invention, parts remaining in elevation; Figure 2 is a section on the line 22 of Figure 1, parts being in elevation Figure 3 is a fragmental longitudinal section showing the device used as a table.
In carrying out the invention, there is provided a receptacle 1, of sufiicient length so that it maybe used as a bath tub, as the term bath tub is commonly understood. Intermediate its ends, the receptacle 1 is supplied with a transverse guide groove 2 wherein a gate 3 is mounted for vertical reciprocation, the gate 3 carrying a packing 4 which afi'ords a tight joint between the gate and the receptacle 1, when the gate is seated, as shown in Figure 1. The gate 3 divides the receptacle 1 into compartments 50 and 51 either of which may be used as a sink or as a wash tub. The device is located adjacent to the wall 5 of a room in a build-- ing, and spigots 6 are so located on the wall as to discharge into the compartment 50, similar spigots 6 charge into the compartment 51, one of the spigots 6 being a hot water spigot, the other spigot 6 being a cold water spigot, and the same observation holding true with respect to the spigots 6.
The floor of'the building is denoted by the numeral 7, and through the floor 7, the pedestal 8 of a lifting jack extends, the plunger of the jack being denoted by the numeral 9 and carrying an enlarged saddle 10 whereon the receptacle 1 is supported, the operating means for the lifting jack being denoted by the numeral 11 and being, preferably, in the form of a pedal.
The receptacle 1 has a nipple 12 and a nipple 14., projecting through the saddle 10, the nipple 12 constituting an outlet for the compartment 51, and the nipple 14 constituting an outlet for the compartment 50, the nipples being under the control of stoppers 15, as usual. A pipe 16 extends downwardly and laterally from the nipple 14 and slides in a sewer pipe 18 mounted in the floor 17, the sewer pipe having a gland 17 surrounding the pipe 16 and serving to prevent water being so disposed as to disfrom leaking should the sewer pipe be i clogged. A T 19 is interposed in the pipe 16 and from the T, a pipe 20 leads to the nipple 12, the construction being such that the water may be permitted to flow either from the compartment 51 or from the compartment 50, as occasion may demand.
The game 3 may be removed, and, through the instrumentality of the jack, the receptacle 1 may be lowered into such a position that it may be used conveniently as a bath tub. If desired, the gate 3 may be mounted in the guide groove 2, and the receptacle 1 may be raised, by means of the jack, until the receptacle is at such a height that it can be used conveniently as a sink or as a pair of wash tubs.
If desired, the gate 3 may be provided with projections 21, whereon the upper ends of longitudinally adjustable links 22 may be mounted, the lower ends of the links 23 be ing mounted removably on brackets 23 carried by the floor 7. When the receptacle 1 is elevated, the links 22 will hold the gate 3 against upward movement, and will cause the gate to seat firmly on the receptacle 1, thereby avoiding leakage. When the receptacle 1 is lowered, the gate 3 will be held against downward movement and will be drawn from the guide groove 2, the result being that the gate will not stick or hang in the guide groove 2. The links 22, of course, may be removed or omitted, should the operator desire to dispense with them. Since the links 22 are longitudinally adjustable, they will exercise their purpose when the receptacle 1 is at difi'erent heights.
The top 24 may be placed on the receptacle 1, the top having cleats 25, which, being received within the receptacle 1, as shown in Figure 3, prevent the top from moving on the receptacle When the top 24 is used, the device may be employed as a table.
The gate 3 may be provided with o enings 100, whereby the gate may be hand ed oonveniently.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is In a device of the class described, a receptacle;a vertically slidable gate in the receptacle, a jack carrying the receptacle; and means for anchoring the gate against movement with respect to the rece tacle whereby when the receptacle is raised by the jack, the gate will be seated in the receptacle;
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as m own, I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
HENRY GORMAN.
