Application led October 26, 1925. Serial No. 65,002.
This invention relates to drip pans for Hush tanks such as those used for toilets.
It is well known that the flush tanks condense the moisture in the air and dripping ensues with the consequence that the iioor around the:c tanks is usually wet and unsi htly. Y
his invention is designed to overcome the above defects, and objects of such invention are to provide a very simple type of drip pan which may be readily attached to a conventional flush tank, and which will catch the drip therefrom. D
Further objects are to provide a drip pan which maybe easily emptied when necessary, and which does not detract from or mar the appearance of the flush tank.
An embodiment of the invention `is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is aside elevation of a flush tank showing the drip pan in position, a part `of the lpan being broken away to show the construction.
Figure 2 is a plan viewof the drip pan. Figure-3 is an enlar ed sectional detail of the upper portion of t e'flush tank showing tllie manner of attaching the supporting c lps.
Referring to the drawings, it will be seen that theconventional type of Hush tank is indicated by the reference character 1, Aand is provided with the usual removable top 2. A U supply pipe 3 leads through the wall 4 and upwardly into the flush tank, and a delivery ipe leads downwardly and out from the ush tank, as indicated by the reference character 4, in accordance with the usual or Aconventional practice. v
The drip pan 5 comprises an elongate body portion of sheet metal provided with a marginal flange 6 which runs completely around the pan. This pan is made slightly wider than the width of the flush tank 1,'as shown in Figure 1, and is also made slightly longer than such tank, so as nto insure the catching of all drip from the tank. It is provided with an outwardly projecting portion 7 which is positioned beneath the delivery pipe 4.
A pair of apertured ears 8 are positioned n each side of the pan and lfrom these ears chains 9 extend upwardly and are joined on each side of the tank to a' supportlng chain.
10. 4The se supporting chainsA` extend upwardly on the sides of the flush tank andl ity of attachment of the clips is enhanced:A
by the cover 2 which rests upon the clips and aids in holding them in place, as shown in Figure 3.
In the actual practice of this invention, the drip pans are made of white enamel, sheetmetal, and the chain and clips "are `made of some 'rust proof material. This construction provides a very attractive tixture which does not detract from the appear- -ance of the tank.
It is to be noted that the usual practise in mounting flush tanks is to either have them horizontaler to 'tip their bottoms slightly forward. However, it sometimes happens that the tanks are im roperly set against the wall and are slanted Eackwardly through error in mounting. Under these conditions, a portion of the drip runs backwardly along .the bottom of the tank and downwardly alon the wall. Provision is made for interceptmg and catching this drip and such effect israttained by tilting or slanting the rear portion of the Ilan e 6 backwardly, as shown in Figure 1, so t at it contacts with the wall and leads any water traveling down the wall into the`1 drip pan. v 1 It is apparent'that the drip pan may be readily em tied into any desired'receptacle, as` it may ge freelyrockeddue to th'e chain su port.
t will be seen that a serviceable simple type of drip pan has been provided or flushA tanks which may be cheaply manufactured, and which is of pleasing appearance.
Although -the invention has been described in considerable detail, it is to be. understood that the invention may be variously embodied and is, therefore, to be limited only as claimed.L
I claim:
The combination of a flush tank adapted to be set against a wall'-and provided with a top andl having an outwardly projecting delivery pipe adjacent its lower portion, a drip ypan located below said ilush tank and having an elongated body portion sur-rounded by en upstanding marginal ange, said drip adapted to hook over the flush tank `to retain 10 pan having an outwardly projecting portion. the drip pari in position, said clips being located below saiddelivery pipe, the rear coveredby the cover of said tank.
. lange of the drip pan yextending slantingly In testimony that I claim the foregoing I 5 rearwardly and contacting at its upper end have hereunto set my hand at Milwaukee, in
with the wall, flexible supporting members the county of Milwaukee and State of Visl5 extending upwardly from opposite ends of consin. the drip pan, and a iat clip carried by the upper end of said iexible members and PETER J OHN. Y
