Z '0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BROR MAX SOHAUMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Atlantic Highlands, in the county of Monmouth and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in VVashboiler Covers and Drainage Boards, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to covers intended particularly for use with wash boilers, and involves a modification of the usual construction of such covers so that they may subserve the additional function of a drainage board.

A further object is to provide a drainage board cover as mentioned above which is very economical to manufacture, and which is readily applied to the boiler either as acover or as a drainage board.

Other objects and aims of the invention, more or less broad than those stated above, together with the advantages inherent, will be in part obvious and in part specifically I referred to in the course of the following description of the elements, combinations, arrangements of parts, and applications of principles constituting the invention; and the scope of protection contemplated will appear from the claims.

In the accompanying drawing, which is to be taken as part of this specification, and in which I have shown a merely preferred form of embodiment of the invention, Figure 1 is a sectional view showing a wash boiler with the combined cover and drainage board attached, showing the latter in its drainage-board relation; and Figure 2 is a perspective view, with parts broken away, illustrating in detail the method of attaching the cover in its drainage-board position. A

Referring to the numerals on the drawing, A indicates the wash boiler, and B is the cover for the same, which may be of the ordinary construction, except in the par ticulars hereinafter set forth. That is to say, it has a flange B on its lower face which sets into the wash boiler when the cover is used as such, but for the purposes fin C extends down into the boiler, and the bail D is swung down to the Figure 1 position until the bent portion G thereof comes to rest against the connecting bar H of the handle, while the outer end of the bail D comes to rest against the outside of the boiler. The cover is thus sustained in proper position so that any wet clothes put into it will drain, the water passing through the apertures E directly into the boiler. The

flange B of the cover prevents the clothes from sliding off of the drainage board, and therefore has a double function.

It will be understood that the bail D will have to be shaped with reference to the size of the cover and of the boiler so that when the cover is used as the drainage board it will be sustained in the best angular position for that purpose. Inasmuch as many changes could be made in the above construction, and many apparently widely different embodiments of my invention could be made without departing from the scope thereof, it is intended that all matter contained in the above descrip tion or shown in the accompanyingdrawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

It is also to be understood that the language used in the following claims is intended to cover all the generic and specific features of the invention herein described,

and all statements of the scope of the invention which, as .a matter of language,

might be said to fall therebetween.

I claim 1. In combination with a wash boiler, a cover for the same having a flange on its lower or inner face and an outwardly extending projection on its outer face parallel to one edge thereof, a brace pivoted on the outside of the cover having its free end iesting against the boiler, and means for *fiaiige and in alignment With the flange and parallel toone edge of the cover, a bail p'ivoted on the outside of the cover, and means for limiting the pivotal movement of the bail, said flange of the cover being provided With drainage apertures.

3x111 combination With a wash boiler, a

cover for the same having a flange on 1 its; inner face and a Web projecting from the fo uter face of the cover and adapted to test against the inner edge of the boiler, a handle on the outside of the cover and a brace pivoted to and'having limited movement on the handle and having its free end resting against the ontside of theboiler and ture.
