DRI P- PAN FOR WINDOWS.

SPEGIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 289,174, dated November 27, 1883.

Application filed March 10, 1883.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WINFIELD S. TAYLOR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Trenton, in the county of Mercer and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Window-Cleaning Attachments, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to drip-pans adapted to be applied to windows to catch the dripwater when the windows are being washed, the object being to provide an inexpensive and durable drip-pan adapted to be adjusted to fit windows of any width and discharge the dripwater on the outside of the window, thus preventing any splashing or dripping of the Waste water.

The invention consists in the improved construction and combinations of parts, hereinafter fully described, and pointed outin the claim.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improvement. Fig. 2 is a reversed plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is-a transverse section on the line a: m.

A B represent the pan-sections, each .pr0- vided with longitudinal upturned edges or curves at c and end flanges or upturned edges, 1) b. The under sides of the edges of the section A form beads c 0, adapted to enter the hollow beads or grooves 01 d, formed upon the inner sides of the edges of the section B. Thus it will be seen that the section A is adapted to (No model.)

be slid under section B to adjust the pan to any desired width.

D D represent lugs or ears secured, respectively, to the outer sides of the end flanges, b b, of the pan. These lugs are adapted to fit between the side .cleats of the window-frame to secure the pan in place.

It will be apparent that my improvement combines simplicity and economy of construction with durability and efficiency in use, and that it will effectually prevent the splashing and dripping of waste water upon the inner side of the window-sill, or upon the carpet within a room, during the washing of the windows.

I am aware that it is not new to provide a longitudinally-adjustable drip-pan for use in cleaning windows; hence I make no broad claim to such construction 3 but hat I claim is- A drip-pan adapted to be attached to a window, consisting of adjustable sections having upturned edges or flanges, and lugs or ears D D, adapted to enter the guideways of the window-frame to retain the pan in place, substan tially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

VINFIELD S. TAYLOR.
