This invention relates to improvements in building construction and more particularly to combination fixture and wall units with joints and trim therefor.
6 In the building industry, trouble has been experienced in securing or anchoring heavy fixtures,
such as bathtubs, sinks and lavatories to the walls or floors of a room in a. manner to prevent the formation ofcracks or crevices at the junctures wherein one or more fixtures are inseparably associated with a wall-forming panel or Wainscot.
' Another object of the invention is to provide a combination fixture and wall unit which may be 25' readily carried throughstandard size doorways inv existing buildings .and positioned and installed therein by a small number of workmen, in addition to being suitable fornew. construction.
A further object is to provide a combination 30 fixture and wall unit for rooms and which may be rigidly installed in amanner tending to evenly distribute its load over a considerable area of the floor and wall structure of the room whereby to relieve excessive strain on portions of the floor .35 or wall structure, it being often necessary to weaken certain load bearing members of rooms, such as bathrooms and kitchens, as by providing cuts or notches therein for the accommodation of plumbing pipes.
40 A further object of the invention is to provide a combination fixture and wall unit having an improved fianged base and an improved floor mold.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a panel or Wainscot construction for associa- 4,5 tion with the lower portion of a wall and having A an improved finishing mold for the upper edge of thepanel.
A still further object is toprovide a supporting bar for towels and the like and improved means 50 for attaching the bar to a panel or Wainscot.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following detailed description, taken in connection withthe accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification and in which:

laterallyof the side walls l3 of the lavatory portion. Along the lower edge of the combination fixture and wall unitC is a horizontally disposed supporting flange I8 provided with a series of spaced apart screw or nail receiving apertures I9. In spaced parallel relation above the flange i8 is an integral. floor mold 20 including a substantially horizontal floor-contacting flange 2|.
. Along the upper marginal edge of the unit C a series of spaced apart apertures 22 is provided. Preferably, the panel portion" is of a height to line'the lower portion of a room and of a length to extend from corner to corner thereof, and in certain cases, the panel portion Il may include at one end thereof an angular extension 23 forming a part of an adjacent wall. At the other end of the panel, the flange l8 and the floor. mold may terminate in a mitered end- 24 forming a connecting element 25 in the panel above and extending beyond the mitered end. Suitably positionedrecessed tumbler holding or soap containing receptacles 26 may be provided in the panel portion II. On. the reverse side 21 of the panel are secured one or more pairs of spaced apart vertical reinforcing channels 28 including apertures 29 aligning with apertures 30 in the panel.
In Figure 10 is shown a U-shaped supporting bar 3| having flared tubular ends 32 in which are embedded a pair of internally threaded cylindrical inserts 33 cooperating with,theflared ends to form seats 34 for a pair of cushioning washers 35. Extending through the apertures 29-40 and the cushioningwashers 35 from the reverse side 21 of the panel and threading into the inserts 33 are 42' extending upwardly from the upper surface 40 at its rear'extremity 43 and side extremities 44 forming rear and sidewalls 45 and 46 respectively. In addition, the panel portion 42 may extend laterally from the front wall or skirt 39 at its end extremities 41 forming' walls 48 and 49.. If desired, the wall 49 may include an angularly extending portion 50 provided with, a suitably hinged access door 5l and a recessed paper holder 52. The rear wall in may be provided with a recessed soapcontainer 5,3 and a U-shaped supporting bar 54 having its ends afllxed to the panel as by welding. I Along the lower edge of the combination fixture and wall unit D is'a horizontally disposed supporting flange 55' provided with a series of spaced apart screw ornail receiving apertures 56. In spaced parallel relation above the flange'55 is an integral floor mold -51 including a substantially horizontal floor-contacting flange 53. Along the upper marginal edge of the unit D a series of spaced apart apertures 53 is provided. The panel portion of the unit D preferably is of a height to line the lower portion of a room and of a length to extend from corner to corner thereof. At the ends of the panel elements and 6! may be provided and in order to permit other panels to be connected thereto,
the ends of the flange 55 and the floor mold 51' may beterminated short of the connecting ele- .wall supporting members ll the wall sup r ng members ll. portion 42, vertical channel-forming connecting ments 6B and 5| as by a butt end 82 and a mite'red end 63 respectively.
Panel wall units E may be utilized in conjunction with the combination fixture and wall units as shown in Figures 1, 2, and 7. The vertically disposed panel- units 64 and 65 are, substantially similar in that their lower edges are each provided with a horizontally disposed supporting flange 66 having a series of screw or nail receiving apertures 61. Also, each unit is provided, in parallel relation above the flange 56, with an integral floor mold 68 including a substantially horizontal floor contacting flange 83. .The panel unit 64 may be provided at one end with a vertical fln-like extension III beyond the mitered end II of the flange and floor mold.. The other end 12 of the panel unit 64 may terminate in a verti cal plane, if desired The panel unit.65 may be provided at onev end with a vertically disposed channel I3 and the opposite end may include an outwardly offset vertical fin-like extension I4.
The panel units E preferably are of a height corresponding to the height of the combination fixture and wall units C and D. p
Referring nowto Figures 8 and 9, it will be seen that the upper'edge of the unit D carries the. finishing molding F, having a depending rear flange I5 which is provided with upwardly extending notches 16 corresponding in spacing to the apertures in the panels. The molding F may include a frontwall 11 depending from a relatively wide horizontal top portion I8 and adapted V to cover and conceal the openings in the panels.
' If desired; the molding F may also include horifront wall 11; Similarly, the units C and E may 5 be provided along their upper edges with suitable lengths of molding F.
Due to the convenient-size of the units 0, D,
and E, they may be manufactured, crated, transported and installed in much the same manner as separate fixtures, while permitting of mass production in a factory of the major portions of fixture containing rooms, such as bathrooms and kitchens; and at the same time avoiding the difficulty of transporting a completely assembled room unit from the factory and installing it in an existing or partially completed structure. The units C, D, and E may be joined together in end to end relation by inserting the vertically disposed fln-like extensions thereof into the vertically disposed channel-forming, members of adjacent units as shown in Figures 1, 2, and 'I.
' The bottom flanges I8, 55, and 66 of the units C,
D, and E may beeither nailed or screwed to the floor supporting members I II, and the upper edges may be secured in spaced relation to the as by suitable screws I3 and spacing washers I9 shown in Figure 9; When the molding F is brought down over the upper edges of the units the depending flange I5 will occupy the space reserved by the fwashersfls between the upper marginal edges of the units and the wall supporting members units, the upper surface of the floor contacting the undersides of the floor moldings and viding a seal therealon'g.
-Ifhe wall H carried by the wall supporting means above the molding F may be of any suitable construction and may at its lower edge rest from which it is mounted.
The units C, D and E maybe produced by any suitable method, such as casting or pressing. Obviously, the lavatory, bathtub or accessory fixtures may be first separately formed, and subseguently welded or otherwise combined with suitable wall panels into a single unit at. the factory and preferably prior to the application of a porcelain, enamel, or other suitable coating or finish. The wall panels may simulate the appearance of tiling, if desired. In order to'provide for the installation of a medicine cabinet 80, a suitable notch 8I maybe formed in the top edge of any of the units, such as the lavatory unit C.
