SPRING. TYPE GUIDE FOR COMMODE TANKS Filed Sept. 13, 1945 Lou/s5. PH EL P6 ATTD RN EYE Patented Oct. 5, 1948 UNITED STATES PATENT. OFFICE 2 Claims. 1
The invention relates to a guide, and more especially to a flush valve guide for flushing tanks to toilets.
The primary object of the invention is the provision of a guide device of this character, wherein the ball flush valve will be properly guided to its seat within a flush tank for the sure seating thereof, and there is no liabilitypf such valve becoming hung after flushing operation, thereby avoiding the loss of water from the tank during the filling period, as the valve will not become caught in an opening position, resultant in water leakage from such tank.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a guide of this character, wherein it has spring action for the sure seating and un seating of the flush valve in the operation of the flushing mechanism to a flush tank, thereby avoiding the leakage of water from the latter 11nnecessarily.
A further object of th invention is the provision of a guide of this character, which is simple in construction, thoroughly reliable and effective for the purposes intended thereof, strong, durable, readily and easily applied and adjusted to place, possessed of few parts, thus economical for repairs, and inexpensive to manufacture and install.
With these and other objects in view the invention consists in the features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which shows the preferred embodiment of the invention, and is pointed out in the claims hereunto appended,
In the accompanying drawing- Figure 1 is an elevation of an overflow tube of a flush tank, showing the flush valve guide constructed in accordance with the invention in an applied position.
Figure 2 is a side view thereof.
Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on the line 33 of Figure 1 looking in the direction of the arrows.
Figure 4 is a perspective view of the guide hanger bracket.
Figure 5 is a perspective view of the saddle piece of the guide.
Figure 6 is a perspective view of carrier head of the guide.
Similar reference characters indicate cor- 2 responding parts throughout the several views in the drawing.
Referring to the drawing in detail, A designates generally the stand overflow pipe or tube within a flush tank, not shown, for a toilet, and, as usual, is provided with a water inlet valve seat NJ, for a flush valve l i, which is associated with a guide constructed in accordance with the invention.
This guide in accordance with the invention,
comprises an upset substantially T-shaped carrier head 12, its shank I3 is removably fitted by socketing in a hanger bracket l4 adjustably clamped about the pipe or tube A, as best seen in Figures 1, 2 and 3 of the drawing. The head l2 has depending therefrom at its ends a pair of guide rods l5, which are vertically parallel with each other and disposed at opposite sides of the seat l0. Slidably fitted on these rods beneath the head [2 ,is a saddle piece l6, which centrally thereof has threaded connection for adjustment with the stem l! of the flush valve l I. This stem I1 is adapted to play through a clearance in the head l2 centrally of the same.
The saddle piece I6 is locked adjustably to the stem I! by a binding nut I8 on the latter.
About the stem I1 between the head I2 and the saddle piece I6 is a coiled tensioning spring I9, is playing against the nut I8 which can regulate the tension thereof. The spring may be entirely dispensed with, if desired.
The upper end of the stem I1, above the head 12, has an eye terminal 20 for attachment to a lifter, not shown, it being a part of any standard flushing mechanism for a flushing tank, and operates the usual well known manner for the flushing of a toilet, not shown.
The guide hereinbefore described prevents the accidental bending of the stem ll of the flush valve II, and also serves to properly direct the latter to its seat ID, to assure a positive and leakproof seating, as will be apparent from Figure 2 of the drawing. The hanging of the valve H in an unseating position is eliminated through the use of the guide device, as may be resultant from a bent condition. The use of the spring I9 tensions the valve H to its seat [0, as should be obvious.
What is claimed is:
1. Aguide of the kind described, comprising a head, a clamping bracket fastening the head to 'a tensioning spring interposed between the head and saddle for action on the saddle.
