BASIN WASTE AND STOP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters ]?atent No. 413,365, dated October 22, 1889. Application filed March 26, 1.889. Serial No. 304,916. (No model.) V

To a whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY J. GILCHER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ash tabula, in the county of Ashtabula and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Basin astes and Stops, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a device for closing the discharge-opening in the bottom of wash-bowls, to be used instead of the common plug and chain; audit consists of the peculiar construction and combination, with a wash bowl discharge and overflow, of a self-closing plug, substantially as hereinafter described,

and pointed out in the claim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a vertical section of a bowl and my stopper device, showing vertical rod and cam-wheel mechanism for operating the same. Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical section of my stopper device. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the top connection for overflow-pipes.

A is a stopper-case having a neck a, internally screw-threaded, into which the discharge-tube 13, leading from the bottom of the wash-bowl, is screwed. Transversely in said case A,I make a valve-chamber 0, thus forming a T-shaped case.

0 is a cap closing the valve-chamber C.

D is a plug-valve fitted to slide in said' lower part of rod G is attached a cam-wheel H, and between it and the arm F the rod E passes, and on its end is provided an upward lip 6, against which the periphery of the camwheel bears, and whenever the wheel is turned it will push the rod E outward, and thereby slot through which the vertical rod G passes.

I is a pipe leading from case A above the plug D, and extends upward to a chamber K, set in the slab by the side of the wash-bowl.

J is a second pipe leading from the case A below the plug D. It also extends upward, 51-! d is connected with the chamber K. These pipes and chamber form the overflow for the wash-bowl. It the bowl has a horn-connection for overflow in its side, then pipe I and chamber K may be dispensed with.

The operation of thisstopper device is as follows: To empty the bowl, the rod Gis turned by turning its knob g. This causes the camwheel H to push rod E outward, withdrawing the plug D and contracting the spring S. WVheu the bowl is emptied, by letting go of the knob the spring will cause the wheel to turn back again, as well as push the plug in again and close the discharge-outlet.

The combination, with the bowl, of the downwardly-extending valve-case A, attached to the bottom of the bowl by the neck B, a transverse horizontal valve-chamber 0, made integral withsaid ease, the plug-valve D, playing in said chamber 0, the cap 0 closing said chamber 0 and having valve-rod E projecting through it, and provided with retractingspring S and connected with the cam-wheel H, attached to verticalrod G, supported by the arm F, extending fromsaid cap 0 and the case A, also provided with overflow-pipes I and J, all constructed to operate substantially as specified.
