W. M. BELL AUXILIARY CONTAINER FOR TOILETS Filed Jan. 30. 1928 Patented Sept. 11, 1928.
WILLIAM Mi BELL, OF PORTSMOUTH, OHIO.
AUXILIARY CONTAINER FOR TOI'LETS.
Application liled January 30,. 1928. Serial No: 250,585.
This invention relates to a receptacle for use in connection with toilets of railway cars or the like, the primary object of the invention being to provide a receptacle secured permanently to the car in a position to catch material from the toilet and prevent the deposit of the material on the tracks when the car is waiting in the station.
An important object of the invention is to provide a receptacle of this character tapered towards the upper end so that should'material freeze in the receptacle the material will be. readily released and fall from the receptacle when the closure that closes the lower end of the receptacle, has
been moved to its open position.
A still further object of the invention is to support the receptacle in such a way that the upper end of the receptacle is spaced.
from the bottom of the car so that obnoxious odors may pass from the receptacle and will not pass into the car.
lVith the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as description pro ceeds, the invention resides in the combmation and arrangement of parts and 1n the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, w thout departing from the spirit of the invention.
Referring to the drawing:
Figure 1 is an elevational view illustrating a receptacle constructed in accordance with the invention as positioned under a toilet of a car.
Figure 2 is a front elevational view there of Figure 3 is a fragmental sectional view through the receptacle and closure,
Referring to the drawing in detail, the reference character 5;designates the usual toilet of the type employed in connection 4 with railway cars and with which the device forming the essence of the present in-.
and secured to the receptacleby means of the rivets 10. Extending from the band 9 is a circular rib 11' tapered to fit within the tapered groove 12 formed in the upper surface of the hinged closure 1-3 so that'a tight connection between the closure and band 9 will be insured at all times preventing leakage at this point.
The hinge by means of which the closure 7 is connected with the receptacle, is indicated at 14 and is disposed exteriorly of the receptacle.
.Coiled springs indicated at 15 connect with the closure 13, at 16 and have their upper ends hooked into the eye bolts 17 secured adjacent. to theupper end of the re ceptacle 6 with the result that the springs ill act to return the closure to its closed position when the closure has been operated or moved to its open position to dump the contents of the receptacle.
Formed integral with the closure 13 is a depending arm 18 to which the flexible connecting member 19 is connected, one end of the member 19 being connected with the bell crank lever 20, at 21. 'Connected with the opposite end of the bell crank lever 20 is a rod 22 supplied with a head 23 and affords means whereby the bell crank-lever may be operated to move the closure 13 to its open position.
Contacting with the rod 22- is a spring finger 24 that normally urges the rod 22 laterally to insure against the rod rattling while the car is in motion.
From the foregoing it will be obvious that due to the construction shown and described it will be unnecessary to lock the door of the toilet to prevent use thereof, since the 010-. sure 18 maybe moved to its closed position by the porter in charge of the car to the end that material will be caught in the receptacle 6 and when the train has left the adapted to support the upper end of the body portion 111 spaced re ation with the supporting structure, a closure for closing one end ofthe body portion, and means for moving the closure to its open position.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature.
WILLIAM M. BELL.
