EDWIN G. BEINHARDT, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO.
SHOWER-BATH DOOR.
Application filed. June 2, 1922. Serial No. 565,498.
The object of my invention is to produce a comparatively cheap, simple, and highly efiicient door made from metal and glass,
to be used as what is known as a shower 6 bath door, and another object is to displace the canvas curtains now in general use for the purpose of retaining the water in the shower booth.
My invention further offers proper sani- 1 tary conditions which do not exist in the use of canvas curtains, and I further reduce the cost of the construction of the metal frame work of the metaland glass shower bath door.
The present 'frame of the shower bath door now in use is formed of built-up square tubing or rectangular tubing,-which is costly and unsatisfactory. In the construction of m new, door I employ an especial drawn flanged tubin of steel, copper, or brass, and thus make t e frame work dependable, standard, and workman-like in appearance, and I usually inser}: a 1 3' inch crystal glass in rubber gaskets, for supporting and retainin the glass; my unique, specially drawn tu ing also forming a support for said glass. The object and features of my invention will readily become apparent from a perusal of the following specification, to which reference is hereby made. In the accompanying. part of this specification:
Fig. 1, is a front elevation my new door, Fig. 2, is a similar view of the opposite side thereof,
drawing forming of one side of Fig. 3, is a section on line 3-3 of Fig. 2,-
d Fig. 4:, is a view of the bottom edge of the oor Fig. 5, is, a section on line 5-5 of Fig. 1,
Fig. 6, is a section on the line 6-6 of Fig 1,
ig. 7, is a section on line 7-7 of Fig. 1, Fig. 8, is a section on line 8-8 of Fig. 1, Fig. 9, is a section on line 9-9 of. Fig. 1, Fig. 10, is a section on line 10-10 of Fi 1, and
ig. 11, is a corner detail in elevation of the upper ille.
The door S10WI1 in the drawings is of a rectangular form its top and bottom and its two sides being formed like a metal framework joined at the meeting corners. The
top is marked 1, the bottom 2, and the sides 3 and 4. j
the door frame or jamb 22, see
The parts 1. 2, 3, and 4, are made of hollow tubing, of the peculiar shape shown in Figs. 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. This peculiarly shaped tubing is outlined by lines marked 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, forming approximately a square outline with a hollow wing or rib 10 extending therefrom.
The corners formed by the hollow tubing 1, 2, 3, and 4 is as follows: An angle 31 is inserted into the end of one of said tubes and the other end of the angle into the meeting tube and fastened securely together by rivets or screws 32 (see Fig. 11). Against side 8 of this tubing I place a bead or abutment 12, and between this abutment and the side 9 of the tubing, I place a U- shaped rubber gasket or retainer 13, into which is forced the glass 14, which makes the door panel; this construction makes a tight joint. I
At the top I provide an open grille work formed of bars 15 for ventilating purposes between the bars. The lower frame 17 which supports the "grille consists of cross piece or bar 18, reinforced by side plates 19 and 20. The upper edge of glass panel 14 enters a rubber gasket 21 formed similarly to gasket 13, and this gasket 21 is held between the plates 19 and 20.
On one side of the door, the inside, I provide a curved water shedding-strip 16, for carrying off the water which might have a tendency to enter the adjoining room.
The door jamb is marked 22, and the door is hinged to one side thereof as shown by a continuous hinge23. .This' hinge may be connected between the door and jamb in any preferred manner. In the present instance the part 24 of the hinge is fastened to part 8, of the square tube, and the part 25 of the hinge is fastened to In order to keep the door closed, I provide a friction catch formed of a sleeve 27 and a plunger 28, and a head 29, which is held in a position to allow of backward movement when the door is closed to tightly impinge against the door holding same closed by friction (see Fig. 9); by pressing against the door it will readily open, because the frictional contact will be broken.
A handle or pull bar 30 is used for opening and closing the door, in any preferred manner. i
It will be noticed and understood that the art 26 of it 7 I abutment or wing 9 is also for strength, modification which will still fall within the although may be differently formed and scope of my invention. that it is integral with the main hollow What I claim asnew and m invention 25 tube; that it forms one abutment for the and desire to secure by Letters atent is rubber gasket 13, and the glass 14, so that In a shower bath door of the class deit is only necessary to place upon the opposcribed, a metallic outside frame formed of site side of the same the head or abutment hollow tubing lengths, said hollow tubing 2, forminga unique construction and savlengths provided with integral flanges ex- 30 ing time and labor. This wing, rib or tending therefrom, rubber gaskets and a flange 9 also adds strength to the hollow glass panel, said glass panel fitting between tube or pieces, andenhances the appearance the rubber gaskets, removable strips for holdof the construction. ing the gaskets and glass panel in position,
order -to water-proof and rust-proof the metal flanges orming an abutment for 35 the door, I use .a dipping process by im the gaskets and panel, a grille construction mersing the metal in oil.v at the upper end of said door and a cross While I have described one specific way piece for supporting the same, said cross and means of constructing my new shower piece having plates on-each side thereof bath door, it will be perfectly obvious that c which extend below the said cross piece, 'a 40 the same is capable of some change and rubber gasket arranged between said plates modification without departing from the and the door panel extending in to said spirit and principle of the invention, and I last mentioned ga s? to form a tight joint.
wish to beunderstood as claiming any such ED N G. REINHARDT. v
