Feb. 9, 1937. w. c. GROENIGER SOAP DISH FOR SINKS Filed Sept. 14, 19:55
INVENTOR, Wylham QGroemger if HIS MORNEY Patented Feb. 9, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT ()FFICE SOAP DISH FOR SINKS Application September 14, 1935, Serial No. 40,529
2 Claims.
My present invention relates to plumbing fixtures and more particularly to an improved soap dish for laundry trays and the like.
In an improved form of laundry devised by me, I preferably arrange at one corner, or one side of the tray an outlet or discharge chamber, and provide a passage from such discharge chamber to the tray at the lowest portion of the tray, and install in such communicating passage a shear gate valve, such as is described and claimed in my copending application Serial No. 29,904, filed July 5, 1935. For simplicity of construction and to provide an overflow means from the tray into the outlet or discharge chamber, I arrange the inner wall of the chamber to be of less height than the height of the tray, I also preferably close the open upper end of such chamber with a grating, such grating having formed therein a bearing member for the vertically sliding operating means for the shear gate valve. Also, and as a feature of my present invention, I construct the grating above referred to in the form of a soap dish. With such form of soap dish any drip from the soap or other cleansing agent falls directly into the outlet or discharge chamber and not into the tray. The soap dish member is removably secured to the open upper end of the outlet or discharge chamber and may be readily removed therefrom to allow access to the chamber, and to any mechanism that may be desirably located therein.
A feature of my invention, therefore, is an improved soap dish for laundry trays and the like.
A feature of my invention is a combined overflow grating and soap dish for laundry trays and the like.
In the accompanying drawing illustrating a preferred embodiment of my invention,
Fig. 1 is a plan view of a portion of the laundry or like tray showing my improved invention attached thereto;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional elevation on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation on the line 33 of Fig. 2;
Referring to the drawing, Ill designates a laundry tray or the like, having at its rear end an apron II which lies against a supporting wall. Provided around the upper peripheral edge of the tray III is a rounded molding I2, such rounded molding on the front ofthe sink I0 extending downwardly to form an apron or similar construction I3. At one corner of the tray, shown in the drawing, there is arranged, spaced from the contiguous wall of the tray, a wall I4, which is formed integral with the tray structure and forms with the outer wall of the tray structure, an outlet or discharge chamber It. The upper edge of the wall, as indicated by the reference numeral I6, lies at a convenient distance below the upper edge of the molding I2 about the periphery of the tray ID. The upper end of the chamber being thus open and lying below the level of the molding I2, acts as an overflow for the tray I0.
Associated with the outlet or discharge chamber I5 and located in the lower end of the wall I4 adjacent to the bottom of the tray I0 and in a manner similar to that shown and described in my copending application Serial No. 29,904 above referred to, is a shear gate valve (not shown). Such shear gate valve is operated by an operating rod II, to the upper end of which is attached an operating handle I8, which operates in a vertical direction in order to operate the shear gate valve above referred to.
In order to form a bearing for the operating handle I8 and as a component part of my present invention, I have provided a slotted member I9, secured to lugs 20 by screws 2I. The lugs 20 are formed integral with the tray structure I0. At the peripheral edges of the slots, which are indicated by the numeral 22, are raised portions 23, and which raised portions at their outer ends, or the ends adjacent to the basin portion of the tray I0, are raised and rounded as indicated by reference numeral 24. The raised portions 23 and the rounded portions 24 constitute respectively a support for a cake or bar of soap or other cleansing medium, and a means for preventing the sliding off of such bar or cake from the members 23 into the tray Ill.
Formed in the member or cover I9, is a bearing 25, and in which the operating handle I8 for the shear gate valve above referred to is slidably mounted. The location of the bearing 25 is between the row of raised portions 23 and one end of the member I9.
The raised portions 23 are of such height that any water which may be in the tray Ill when such tray is full may flow in between the raised portions 23 and down through the various slots 22 without coming into actual physical contact with the cake or bar of soap or other cleansing agent on the portions 23, so that the member I9 performs its function of overflow through the grating into the tray Ill without interfering with the function of the raised members 23, and 24 as a soap dish.
Various embodiments of my invention, as above described, will readily occur to those skilled in the art and. I am not to be limited to the exact construction shown, such construction being for illustrative purposes only.
Whereas I have described my invention by reference to specific forms thereof, it will be understood that many changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
I claim:
1. In a device of the kind described, the combination of a sink, a vertically arranged chamber formed at one end thereof and with the top' of the chamber open and lying below the top of the sink, said vertically arranged chamber constituting an overflow drain for the sink, a slotted cover for the open end of said drain, the material of the cover between adjacent slots lying above the normal surface of the cover and acting as a means for holding soap whereby upon overflow of water from the sink to the drain the soap resting on the cover will be out of reach of the water.
2. An improved sink structure comprising a. sink body, a vertically arranged chamber formed at one end thereof and acting as a combined shear gate holder and overflow drain, the upper end of the open ended chamber lying below the upper 10 surface of the sink body, a slotted cover removably attached to the material forming the vertical chamber and acting as a cover therefor, a soap container formed integral with the cover,
and a bearing for a shear gate valve formed in 15 the cover.
